New themepark for Belgium by 2012
Gnome replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Rocket Coasters will probably still be in style 6 years from now to some extent. B&M is still building new floorless coasters 6 years later from 2000 boom in floorless coasters. Grant it, they aren't constantly building a new one every year, but people still buy that product. The same will be of Intamin's Rocket Coaster. It has proven itself to have a pretty good ride, although as time goes on I think more people will be interested in making thier rocket coasters a little bit longer than a 30 second ride, but I'm sure the interest would still be there. As for the cranyon drawing...... very official, I like the shaping of the corkscrew on the bottom left, looks like one of mine that I sketch out when I'm bored. -
I really hate the press sometimes....

When I went on Mission Space this past week, this 4 - 5 year old went on it, and when she came off, she was perfectly fine and happy. Anyways, the reason why I think so many people have gotten hurt on this ride and why 2 people have died on it in the past year is because everybody automatically assumes that since this ride is made by Disney, its ok for them to ride. Unlike a roller coaster with loops, and a 100+ foot drop that scares half of the riders away. SO basically more people go onto this ride that generally wouldn't go on another ride of this nautre. But I also do reserve the right to be wrong and/or partially correct so don't quote me on this unless you got something else to add or change to the theory ect. -
I went to florida the the first time this past week. We went to Sea World first... 21 times in one day! Its probably my favorite ride because not a single ride was dull. And also of course we went to the Universal Parks... had to save the best for last.

The Two Giovanola Brothers Question
Gnome replied to sfgoliath's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Parks haven't felt that they've wanted them design it. Plus I doubt they would go bankrupt seeing as how thier main buisness is manufacturing steel, and a buisness thats been around for over 100 years just doesn't dissappear over night... or does it? -
Photo Trip Report PGA: Survivor The Ride Media Day
Gnome replied to Coaster Palooza's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Katie! Katie! Katie! Oh well then... nevermind. Anyways, that katie person looks rather attractive, I wouldn't mind riding Survivor with her. -
What are you smoking? Even the GP agree... even though Ghost Rider is "old" and ruff, it still kicks the asses of all other Knotts rides. Its not even that painful. I still find it very enjoyable.... just not as enjoyable as it SHOULD be.

I've been to gay dat at Disneyland. It's pretty much just like any other day except all the gay people stand out because they're wearing red shirts. I guess it helps make local gays meet new people of the same sex instead of trying to guess, or showing that they aren't afraid of admitting they're gay, or maybe both. I guess w/e floats thier boats.

Old people always talk about how Busch Gardens LA was the Shizzz. -
So how many people out there are ACEer's?
Gnome replied to PhishyBrewer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't think I'll ever join until I can travel and start utilizing all th e benefits ACE has to offer, even then... maybe I'll just remain an independent coaster enthusiest. -
Looking at possible options of going to one of the waterparks at Walt Disney World Resort and was wondering, if I decided to choose one (and only one) which of the 2 would be THE place to go to, I'd love to go to both, but unfortunately its just not in the cards.... baby. So I want to do blizzard beach because they have some sweet theming and some pretty cool slides, but Typhoon Lagoon has that water coaster, and I've always wanted to try one of those, and it has more than just that as well, obviously, but help my decide which is the better experience. Don't just vote though, give a reason why you think one park is better, otherwise the poll is just a bunch of numbers to me and it won't mean anything...

CP or IOA - Which do you prefer?
Gnome replied to Coasters 4 ever's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think thats one reason why I like Disneyland better than Knotts or SFMM. I just always have more fun at the park even though there really aren't very many hardcore rides there. In fact none of them are really "hardcore" as for as rides go except for ToT, most of them are designed to be family friendly, and for some reason, I just always have more fun at the park even with the lack of "thrills." Anyways.... I'll find out what parks I like best hopefully this year. 2 weeks from now I'm off to IOA, and I also have a HW, CP, IB, some other parks.... plan in the works for the summer, so who knows. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Gnome replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think you'll be dissappointed to know that a 500 foot coaster is not in the works. And thats logic speaking. CP hasn't made a serious crack at a coaster with some actual ride elements to it since MF, since then they've built 2 which are basically one hit wonders...(WT only has 2 spinning verticle pikes... oooh uber thrilling! and TTD has crappy air time, and a not so intense launch, only thing its really got going for it thats impressive is its hight and speed) This time, though, I think Cedar Point will go for something that is thrilling, and has some real content of its own. -
I personally think Steel Dragon 2000 looks like crap. 1... it looked boring as far as a layout goes, and 2, seeing as how the hills aren't really parabolic at all, I can't see it have that much air. And 3... MOrgan trains suck... all of them. Anyways... if it re-opens... good for it, but its just one roller coaster I could care less about.

Westcoaster Update - 03/30/2006
Gnome replied to Jim Disney's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ahh man, I hope they aren't ripping out that bunny hill, aswell... in fact I hope its open in 3 weeks from now seeing as how thats the first time I get to go to IOA. -
So Cal Waterpark Thoughts?
Gnome replied to Rugged One's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ummm... Skip Soaked City. SFMM's hurrican harbor has evyerhting Soak City has to offer an more. (I don't know if Hurrican is closed too, or open but you can check into that.) But the best ones in California, IMO, are Wild Rivers in Irvine California, and Ragin Waters in a far off land California. -
Papa John's and Six Flags
Gnome replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
OMG! I have the same exact opinion as you! Wierd..... My third favorite is Pizza Hutt. Any of those 3 would have suit my fancy. -
I think it was just trey parker narrating it, weather or not Mat had anything to do with it... we'll never know. I guess you could speculate though. Yea, I just loved how they kept on making of fun of the Jaws ride, mainly because its the cheesiest thing they have on a lot, but its like what else are they going to do with it?
-
^ yes, yes it is. Anyways, maybe with the added income of ripping people 50% more off then you usually what you usually would at anywhere else (Seeing as thats what they do at music venues) maybe the park will be able to install another large roller coaster like Rampage, or maybe a B&M or an INtamin.... *wishful thinking*

^ this would be cool at SFMM. Also. does the SFMM exterme pass holders get free fast lane passes to all Six Flags parks or just SFMM?
