Georgia/Florida Trip Questions
nitrofan replied to CP_RULES's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If you are out on a Barrier Island or directly on the gulf, the waves should be pretty large, but if you are up a bay or something they will probably be pretty flat. I was out at the gulf a few weeks ago and the waves were very large. -
Photo TR: Six Flags New England 7/25/09!
nitrofan replied to NewEnglandCoasters102.0's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^Neither of them were actually built by Six Flags. All but three (SFOT, SFOT, SFStL) were purchased later by the company. I was just asking because SFNE and SFA appear to have nearly identical entrances. -

It looks like it was a lot of fun. I hope they didn't completely ruin a fast-paced ride. -

Georgia/Florida Trip Questions
nitrofan replied to CP_RULES's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
SFOG will probably not be too bad. I don't think a Flash Pass will be nescecary on a Wednesday. Most lines should be under 30 minutes. The best plan for me is do Georgia Cyclone right at 10:00 (it as near the entrance and they usually open it right at 10), but make sure to be standing at the rope at 10:30. Go all the way to the back of the park and ride Superman as many times as you will want to that day. Then go to GASM and Ninja. Make your way around the park to Gotham city to ride Batman and Mindbender. Then go to Goliath, which should have a 15-20 minute wait by then. Then ride Georgia Schorcher, and then go around the park for smaller rides and re-rides. On a wednesday, you should finish this plan by around noon. Also, be sure to ride Acraphobia. It may just look like an ordinary drop tower, but there are a few surprises, but I'll let you find them out yourself. -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

At Great Adventure 2 weeks ago. This was after my 23 ride Marathon on El Toro! -
Making plans for a 2010 trip
nitrofan replied to coastered's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If you decide to add SFA, get a Six Flags season pass. It should be $50 at SFOG, you get the coupon books, and save roughly $20-$30 on Six Flags admission. If you are going to SFA on a weekend, I would get the Flash Pass since it is only $15 ($3 per ride), which is hard to beat. You will pay over $50 for line-skipping at other parks. -

Great PTR! Was this park built by the same people who built SFA? -

You got pepper-sprayed by a guest? What's the story there? lol -
Eastern US Tour 2010
nitrofan replied to MontuWillOwnYou's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I find SFA to be very under-rated. Sure, the coaster selection could be better, but they have a great atmosphere, fun coasters, some of the best theming in the chain, and lots to do. This is obvious for most people, but never having been to a Six Flags park, I wasn't sure if you knew this; buy a Six Flags Season Pass. It is only $50 at SFOG, and it gets you into all of the parks. It's a great deal! -
Official RCT/RCT2 Help Thread

I think you have to make the lift with Dive Machine track, than merge it to the floorless track. -

Thanks dmaxsba2408, I'll try that. You can make steep chain lifts on Dive Machines, but not on floorless coasters. You may be able to work something out with trainers though. -

I download lots of parks with custom scenery. Do I have to delete them to get it to work? DBru: I create and save the scenario, and it pops up when I am in the main park menu and try to play it. -

I wouldn't feel safe at all with a lap bar on a drop tower. -

So where did the evidence come from that makes everyone automatically think it will be a B&M Hyper? -
Photo TR: TPR Texas Trip by Luko Simlesa
nitrofan replied to simlesa's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Texas Giant will be closed next summer, so don't go expecting the credit. -
Haha, I'm sure there will be a line. It's Universal, and with their crowds, capacity could be 3000 and they would still have a line. This system just drastically increases capacity. Are the lap bars going to come down automatically like on Top Spins so they don't need attendants to check them, or will they be like normal lap bars?

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
nitrofan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Now I'm pretty sure it might be plausible. I like the look of a coaster way more with a normal style than a vertical lift. I think a Giga with a vertical lift would look plain ugly. -
Six Flags Fiesta Texas Discussion Thread!
nitrofan replied to jps294's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I lived by this park until 2006, and my last visit was in 2007. From what I've heard, Shapiro has really let this park go downhill since then. I never had problems with operations, and the only time their operations weren't at maximum capacity when they should have been was the year Poltergeist was down to 1 train for rehab. -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

Yeah, in line for Goliath at SFOG people were arguing over how long 1/4 of an hour was. They finally settled on 30 minutes. lol -
Question about Intamin Impulses
nitrofan replied to expeditioneverestfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They used the holding break when I went last summer, but I've heard it is broken the majority of the time. When I saw it, I didn't notice lots of variations in the launch, but maybe I just didn't notice.
