I hope so. -
What coasters do you want to ride?
GivenOneChance replied to CoasterCrazy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Millennium Force Maverick Kingda Ka El Toro Superman Ride of Steel(s)/Bizarro Titan Nitro Evel Knievel Raging Bull -
It would make sense to use Flashbacks previously occupied land for Hurricane Harbor expansion if said is the case. I also think they should get rid of Tidal Wave. The ride is pointless. Might as well add some of those water thingys they added with Thomas Town..that's much more effective than Tidal Wave... There's not a lot of space in between Goliath and Colossus, but I think if they were super ambitious, they could build something below Goliath. What you think? JK I also think they should build a ride above Colossus if they're really constrained by lack of space. JK 2

LOL. Last two times I went to SFMM (which was the first week of August), the dude at Tatsu goes...."ya boi".....on and on and on....with every train dispatch...like "enjoy your ride on the Tatsu.......yea boy!!!" -
^^ I hope the new ride isn't canceled, but in other news.. jk How would you guys feel about a Ride Rotation Program? Back in the day, Six Flags would relocate rides from one park to another after a period of time(they had a ride rotation program back then). Some rides that we're used in this program for instance, was Flashback (Z-Force), etc among others. What would you think about this program if it was used today?
-
I only yell....like prior to going down a drop.... or I may go woo hoo! or something like that but I don't scream like some rapist is chasing me or as if I am about to be murdered. People who scream during drops is ok. Screaming throughout the duration of the ride is unnecessary. One time people were screaming prior to reentering the station of Riddlers Revenge (SFMM) and I yelled "STFU" and they did exactly that.
-
Colossus is the only ride where I feel the butterflies in the stomach thing. Whatever that is when you feel that weird sense in your stomach, chest prior to descending down a drop. Therefore I value it for that. Haha. I lost that feeling on rides like Goliath and Deja Vu several years ago. I think it has something to do with riding Perilous Plunge 13x straight one time at Knotts.
-
Does anyone think Colossus is going to need a major fix or refurbishment or something any time soon (atleast to its track)? Riding that ride scares me. I don't know how to explain much about this ride, but if you've rode it lately, it just seems to me its life is limited before some type of fix is required.

^ Hearing that you wish you could have blacked out gives me the creeps. I never blacked out on a ride, I wouldn't want to. Because I really don't know what it is like. Sure, you hear accounts from other people...but still, that's something I don't aspire to experience when I venture to ride a particular ride. If you really feel like you're lacking the ability to relate just because you can't black-out with you friends, you have some issues. There's a lot more to talk about and relate to than whether you blacked-out or not. Keep in simple, talk about how enjoyable the ride was or something... for starters.

I guess the fires could have a significant impact on attendance. But I think by Sunday, a lot could be cleared up by then and the fires should be sufficiently contained. Hopefully for people whose houses are at stake, etc. Though if there is fire, smoke in the air, people merely react differently. For some I guess it can exacerbate allergies, I dunno lol, though breathing air and smelling smoke would definitely serve as a great deterrence for many. People may refrain from outdoor activities and find themselves elsewhere this holiday, if the conditions remain to the degree they are now, I guess. So in your sake, attendance numbers could be down below the number they had the potential to be. I wouldn't buy a flashpass regardless. But that's just me.
