  1. For what it's worth, I was at the park yesterday also and it looked like there was a maintenance guy on the platform. He dispatched a train as we were exiting SROS.
  2. Edit: D'oh. I just realized this post was from mid November. Regardless it provides info for anyone thinking about going the remainder of the season. I was just at the park Friday and Saturday night. Twisted Cyclone, Joker's Funhouse Coaster and of course Mindbender were the only coasters closed Friday night. Twisted Cyclone ran on Saturday. The park was absolutely dead Friday night and not much busier on Saturday.
  3. I think my favorite part of the awards this year is that Steel Curtain placed higher than Yukon Striker for best coaster in 2019 but Yukon is ranked #34 and Steel Curtain is ranked #42.
  4. I have a couple of suggestions that I don't think have been mentioned yet. 1. Can you list the coasters by Park, rather than alphabetically by name? It would speed up the process by being able to skip the parks you haven't been to. 2. I've only ranked 5 coasters so far because they're kind of listed randomly and it takes awhile to drag everything around. Would it be possible to have a column on one side with all of your un-ranked coasters, and then a column on the other side with them listed by rank. Then you can drag your un-ranked side to side rather than up and down. 3. What about keeping wood & steel separate? I always liked that about Mitch's polls in which he'd have "your fav steel any park anywhere" on the wood list, and "your favorite wood any park anywhere" on the steel list to compare between the two.
  5. I too witnissed a few different people take the walk on Shambhala but none on Red Force. I think if you're close to fitting on a B&M hyper then you won't have any problem on Red Force.
  6. I go to Waldameer 9-10 times a year and I can guarantee you Ravine Flyer 2 is nowhere near "rough". Waldameer does a fantastic job with upkeep on that coaster!
  7. Not sure how I feel about this either as Eurosat is awesome! However I'm not sure there's a single thing anyone can complain about at Europa Park. Hopefully this ends up even better!
  8. I've felt the same way about the Timberliners since I rode Cú Chulainn at Tayto Park. I had ridden Hades 360 prior to, but just attributed the rough ride to Mt. Olympus upkeep. However Cú Chulainn was brand new and I thought it had the same problems you are describing on Mine Blower.
  9. ^Such a shame since it seems that is the general consensus about the park.
  10. Does anyone know what's going on with Magnus Colossus? RCDB lists it as SBNO since 2015 and it is not referenced anywhere on the Terra Mitica website. It is shown on the map though, but with no name, just a caricature of the coaster. We're going to be in Spain and July and were thinking about stopping by the park for a couple hours.
  11. There doesn't seem to be a dedicated Terra Mitica thread per the search feature so I figured I would post here. Does anyone know what's going on with Magnus Colossus?

  12. Great TRs! Did you visit Ferrari Land and Port Aventura in the same day? Any issues going from one park to the other? I'm planning on being there in July!
  13. I've been on 88/100, and looking to add at least 3 more to that this year!
  14. I get so disappointed when I hear how terribly the Scandi 2014 tour went. I wanted to go on this tour bad, but was unable to get the time off of work to do so. These people were so lucky to be able to visit such a great area of the world, let alone experience it on a TPR tour. I just visited Sweden/Norway this past year and can definitely say it was my favorite over-seas experience yet! The complaints Robb listed a page or two ago are just mind numbing!

  16. Everyone needs to experience as much Mack as possible! After riding Lost Gravity and Helix this year I have fallen completely in love with Mack. I highly suggest you visit this park!
  17. ^^They probably wanted to see how the ride would react to the assumed new programming before they wasted their time putting the second train on. Remember they said they'd rather just keep the ride down instead of having it break down constantly.
  18. What really boggles my mind about noise levels of the coaster are that you don't even know the ride is there! You can't hear or see it unless you're almost right next to it way in the back of the park, nowhere near the main road.
  19. I love making these lists every year! Definitely: Cedar Point Kings Island Waldameer Walt Disney World Sea World Orlando Fun Spot Orlando Holiday World for HWN Knoebels for PPP Parque Warner Madrid Parque de Atracciones de Madrid Port Aventura / Ferrari World Probably: Dollywood (lol Lightning Rod) Idlewild Canada's Wonderland Six Flags Great Adventure Efteling Toverland Really Stretching It: Movie Park Germany Phantasialand Canobie Lake Park Funtown Splashtown
  20. Trust me, Tusenfryd is not worth your time or money. Horrible operations from parking to food to coasters. Spend an extra day at Liseberg. It'll be worth it! We had two days at Liseberg built into our trip for this year and I wish we would have taken out Tusenfryd and added a 3rd day to Liseberg after our experience there.
  21. Some more pics from today as I was leaving. I won't be able to update next weekend because of PPP at Knoebels so hopefully someone will be able to grab some pics! Ignore the Photoshopped RMC crane.
  22. Not much to see from inside the park this weekend. Everyone should have seen the pics from Perimeter Road already. Here's a different perspective from inside the park.
  23. I go through spurts where I check Twitter multiple times a day to not checking it for weeks on end. My heaviest use of it occurs near the trade deadlinene for Major League Baseball. I suspect my main reason for not really liking Twitter is I do not like notifications popping up on my phone other than email, text, or calls, so I have everything else blocked. I usually don't feel the need to know everything as soon as it happens and prefer to check out stuff at my leisure. However I do find myself browsing Facebook and Instagram often.
  24. I'm not sure this park can announce anything anymore that would excite me other than "Change in Management."
  25. I don't think it's been mentioned yet but there is a second RMC crane at the park now and they're hiding them both behind the Eden Musse building. But you can see them from the exit. #isitphotoshopped? #photoshopforandroid
