Would you boycott a park?
timetrial3141592 replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I can name one chain whose business practices, involving mutilating the queue line of a certain coaster and then operating the coaster in a way that is clearly not the way it was intended to be operated, and on top of that, jacking up their prices to a level greater than some people's annual income, caused me to boycott them, but I'll leave the identity of that chain a mystery. Other than that chain, I wouldn't boycott any amusement park that I haven't gotten the credits at. -
Son of Beast just stopped the wooden coaster war all together. I doubt there will be another hyperwoodie ever built, it's just getting "too tall for a woodie". That reminds me... for a few days on AirCoaster (a NoLimits knockoff for iOS that, quite frankly, I should not be spending as much time on as I currently do), some puerile morons were trying to build a "giga-woodie." I think that that would be completely infeasible. Disclaimer: I do not own AirCoaster. I am not trying to sell copies of AirCoaster. Whether you decide to spend money on iOS apps is your decision and is therefore none of my business. AirCoaster is copyrighted by Ziconic. I am not Ziconic. I am not affiliated with Ziconic. I am not trying to sell any products or services. I am simply pointing out that 11-year-old kids with iOS devices tend to not understand what is realistic to build and having a little fun at their expense. I am not endorsing the concept of a "giga-woodie" either, as it is unlikely that such a thing could be structurally sound. Void where prohibited. Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate the animals. No cash value. All rights reserved. Common side effects may include drowsiness, headaches, and nausea. No purchase necessary. Your mileage may vary. Contents measured by weight, not volume.

I have a friend in Kentucky. He recently suggested to the Kochs that they build a Mega-Lite in Bluegrass Boardwalk. They said, and I quote: "That's not a bad idea." Granted, this is complete hearsay, but if Bluegrass Boardwalk does get a Mega-Lite, you heard it from me first. Again, this is just based on a phone conversation with someone who submitted a suggestion and got a response.

Worst Ride Name

If I must... Then the prize for worst coaster name goes to "Spongebob Squarepants Rock Bottom Plunge". -
Worst Ride Name
timetrial3141592 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Personally, the worst ride name ever is "Lex Luthor's INVERTATRON". It's not a coaster (it's a Top Spin), but the word "Invertatron" is stupid IMO. As for coasters, I'd go with "Fantastic Coaster Rowdy" at Hirakata Park in Japan. It isn't fantastic, but it sure is rowdy... -
AirCoaster [iPod App]

Try downloading my track "Cortisone". It's a B&M with some extra bits added that I wish B&M would do. I'm currently on hiatus due to my iPod dying, but I'll be back shortly. -

Santa's Land Closing

You're right. I was thinking of Santa's Village in New Hampshire. -

Just read in the globe that Santa's Land is closing for good. It had one credit, I believe. Not much was said in the article, but if anyone has memories of this park, feel free to share them.

No. Are B&M dive machines overrated?

If you had an unlimited amount of money...
timetrial3141592 replied to jammy2by4's topic in Random, Random, Random
If I had an unlimited amount of money, I'd bail out Greece, Italy, the US, and pretty much every other country, then buy Japan and South Korea. A better question would be: "What would you do with a trillion dollars?" -

The Bruins are on a nine-game winning streak; I especially enjoyed their 6-0 dismantling of the Islanders the other day. -
