^I'd be inclined to agree. I'd imagine if the park is fully aware of the situation, and is aware that it could happen during a given cycle, and runs the ride anyway, then it's probably fine. At any rate, I'm used to it on Yo-Yos. -
A Park Request.....Traintown
cal1br3tto replied to outbackjack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Here's a modest little overview of the park plus some odds and ends. Wisdom Orient Express double spiral - one climb, one down -
Counting Six Flags parks... Marine World Africa USA (original?) The New Marine World Theme Park Marine World Six Flags Marine World Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (current) I believe coasters didn't appear until after the first name change. I first visited the park as Marine World Africa USA. It has also been called Marine World and Marine World/Africa U.S.A. in a different location with no rides.

Hopi Hari Theme Park 2011 - Brazil

That looks to be a scenic, well-themed park with a fun ride collection. I love a well-run Evolution, and Montezum is just beautiful. I would love to visit! -

I don't even think of seatbelts on Ferris wheels as a strange concept. In fact, I might even prefer to have them! I once rode a wheel with an optional strap...and used it. -
A Park Request.....Traintown

Traintown is a charming little kiddie park. I only rode the train as a child, but I now have the coaster credit and saw they have a couple family rides as well. I also enjoyed climbing around in the train cars, which are fun for all ages! I may be able to post a mini-TR in this thread, but I can't guarantee many train photos. -
Tonight is a great night to go howl at the moon! So I did.

Wow, what exquisite theming! Maus au Chocolat looks hilarious. I must play! -
Same! And when I was in grade school I loved spreading roll-on glue underneath my desktop just so I could peel it off.

I'd love to camp right by a coaster! The Beast backstage shots got me to thinking I might really like the ride. I'm glad the dino exhibit seems well-done, though I probably wouldn't spend much if any time on it myself. Thanks for posting! -

I love the supports and the beautiful station! Looks like a fun coaster! -

I really like the braided appearance. Very attractive. -
The most rare coaster credits

^It's still one of my top airtime moments too. It's amazing in rows 1 and 2, and even more so in the back. -

I actually am the type to go for kiddie coasters as milestones, so I would go with Shamu Express! I rate Steel Eel more highly than Boardwalk Bullet, but they're both respectable rides which I was happy to re-ride and even marathon. Steel Eel didn't seem rough, but the ejector airtime can hurt a bit as you fly into the lapbar. Boardwalk Bullet is fairly rough. There is a jolt after the first drop, especially in the back, that I would strongly suggest bracing for. But the ride does have a great layout as you'd expect from TGG, and a bit of quality airtime early on.

I was concerned about the restraints on Raging Bull prior to riding, but I ended up feeling secure. I always imagined I'd be apprehensive of the Diamondback and Behemoth seating configurations, but by now I probably won't mind them.

Sounds like Zippin Pippin is a success! I would love to visit that charming little park. Looks like there are some cool photo ops in that museum. I know I would have fun with the leap wall!

^^That is a shame! Do you at least get to see the Hi Miler on occasion? I haven't seen any carny coaster in Oregon bigger than the Tiger Express, sadly. I've grown to really like Kamikazes and other rides with lots of hangtime, like the Fireball/Super Loops. Plus, there are decent views despite the cage. I need to check out the Orbiter next time I see it, as I love them! -

I'm not a fan of Wildcats, but I'd rather not miss this credit. As much as I have no problem with portable coasters, I agree that it seems a bit dated and out of place for this kind of park. -
I see your cake is quite the chick magnet!

YES! Best birthday cake ever!
