^^^ Exactly what I thought! Anybody know why they do this? It seems like it would be more efficient if they just started with full train testing.

Some kid at the Kemah Boardwalk Monday... "I used to smoke so much weed. I'd get so high and get the munchies, but I was so stoned I couldn't even eat. That's when you know you need to quit. When you have the munchies but can't munch." Not really theme park related but it was pretty dumb!

If it fits between your lap and the lap bar you are too small to ride and they will not allow you to ride.

Gwazi is such a unique looking coaster. I'd hate to see it go. I skipped it during my visit with the intentions of riding it later but the weather gods dictated otherwise. Same with Montu, and Sheikra, but I got to ride Kumba!

I can't stand it! I think it looks tacky. But It could be worse. At the Kemah Boardwalk and Galveston pleasure pier, they have to say "Visual scan", put their hand to their forehead and do a full 360°, lean over the control panel, look down and up. It looks so funny. I guess this isn't really the thread to talk about this on, but I was just about to comment on it and backed out and just saw yours. I just had to give my 2¢.

I'm standing in line for the Boardwalk Bullet at the Kemah Boardwalk right now, and I just heard this guy, "Hey y'all someone died on this thing!" No, just....no.

^YES! Yes yes yes!!!! Testing must be coming up very soon! Does anyone think they will do a two-car test first like they did on NTAG before they do a full train test run or are they just going to skip straight to the full train test?

Here we go!

The only two I can recall have already been mentioned in some way, shape or form. I've heard the back car goes faster than the front and that if you SPIT on the top of a loop it hits the person next to you on the bottom.

It's nice to see Full Throttle construction coming along. I think it's going to look great in that section of the park. I too like the color scheme. It's simplistic but compliments that area well.

Looks like both Rocky Mountain I-box creations will snag #1 & #2! Looks great. I'm not quite sure if I 100% understand the tunnel part. Is there track in the tunnel yet at all or is that last? On a side note, I'm glad that Road Runner won't be hugging up in the rattler too much. I love the first drop through the Rattlers lift but after that the ride looks much nicer in the open air. And, looks like your going to pick up a little bit of speed going up to the lift!

Amen! It's about time! And that paint job on ShockWave.... Beautiful.

The drop is just one of those things that looks great at some angles but awkward at others. However the ride experience should be awesome!

They're so beautiful! So nice!

^I was thinking large toaster oven.

"I feel like I'm in the Olympics!" And is still quote "I've had alot to drink, and I'm pregnant, and I've had cigarettes, and I'm on a rollercoaster" like 3 times a day.

I don't really see any comparison between these and Intamin's mega-lites. To me, mega-lites are more compressed and Chance's hyper-lite just looks like a scaled down version of their hyper coasters. It's longer and makes more gentle turns. I've never ridden a mega-lite so I can't base off of ride experience, just visual appearane.

Incredible! I can almost see the trains rolling down the tracks!

Why did I divide sin(x) by tan(x)? Just cos! Math nerds, get it? I found this online. It definitely goes under the tacky category.

I was pushing a chair at church across the carpet when I was like 4 or 5 and the front legs ended up getting caught in the carpet, the chair flipped over, I went with it, my chest landed on one of the rear legs and I cracked a rib. Not very fun.

I did speech/debate my freshman year and it was extremely time consuming. My coach ended up becoming my AP and we got a new coach mid-year. It was crazy, I won't forget staying up until 2am working on a case. I did a spoof of twilight with a friend of mine for duet and duo interpretation where Edward was his actual age (like 107) and I had to act elderly. The judges loved it. My partner ended up perusing a dramatic interpretation so we ditched the duo and I did an oratory on superstition that was a measly 5:00 long. My coach made us eventually all experiment with debate, so I did Lincoln Douglas for ONE tourney and I think I only won one round. We ended up debating whether or not juveniles should be tried as adults. I was also on varsity swim team so I ended up quitting after my first year to focus more on swim and the load is much less heavier than it was. I'm not sure how high cool forensics differs from collegiate forensics, but this is my experience with debate. One thing I do miss is the look on people's faces when I told them I was member of the NFL. (Debate nerds know this quite well.)

That's what I thought when I saw it, to keep falling rocks off the tracks. It will be a nice little headchopper!

That's what I'm thinking. If you look at videos of their other models, the coasters are typically in a field with some trees and water nearby, just generic terrain. Why would GCI go through the effort of 3d modeling the cliff and other rides in the park for this one specific coaster? I put a wooden coaster for the boardwalk on the survey. It's perfect for that part of the park too. Plus, SFFT needs a wood coaster now that IRat is opening, and from a legit manufacturer with a good rep too.

Hmmmmmmmm. It's obviously SFFT. Could this be a hint as to what's to come 2014-2015?

The paint was real faded this summer and even worse when I visited for the Christmas Celebrtion. Looks really nice!
