Most Overrated coaster?
kingsdominionlvr replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
How can you say that when we have almost no idea what this coaster will look like? -
I don't know, if they are starting construction soon, why are there no supports of decent size? It is very puzzling indeed. They could be cross bars. In other words, little supports to make up larger ones. Like used on MF....You know.. the huge lift structure? Yeah, I bet you are correct, but even then there is not enough to make a Millennium Force like lift support structure. Maybe construction may not be starting as soon as some think.

Now you say you didn't call the poster a liar. Now if you said, I didn't mean to call her a liar. We could understand. The reason we as moderators are getting all over you is simple. Personal attacks will not be tolerated, Robb has asked us to keep the forums civil. It's a blurry line between not believing a post and calling someone a liar, but as moderators we are drawing that line. Not too many people here believe M&M's post, but let's refrain from personal attacks. Midget Launch I am sorry if my comments were misunderstood, I guess I could have worded them better. Anyway, I think we should know very soon more details about this coaster, adena is already there and the ride should be going vertical very soon.

^ God those things are good, they are like Sour Patch Kids without the sour stuff on them. I would have to say my guilty pleasure is everything Starbucks, I literally go there and waste about 10 bucks a day.

DH is internet speak for Dear Husband. Two posts later: Yes. Yes, you did accuse her of lying. Ah, so you do accuse her of being a liar (note spelling). Either way, take the post for what it's worth. A lot of very little. BUT we don't start calling people names here. There have been at least 10 of these people that say they are close with people at Kings Dominion and make up silly rumors just to get some attention. I am holding out my judgement of this lady until the announcement, but we seriously cannot believe anything heard on a Forum from somebody on the other side of a monitor. Once again, I did not accuse her of lying, I meant we should not trust anyone until we get the info from Kings Dominion on August 20th. Look, I have no clue why you are busting my chops, but I hope that sets this all straight.

Celebrities and Athletes you've met...

Saw Robert Duvall at a Home Depot in Virginia, and I am very good friends with Chicago Cubs player Jeff Baker. -
I know, it is almost like they think we are stupid! As for the division, as far as I know, Intamin has a designing division, and a Track Making Division. That is it. I am holding out my opinion of this lady until the official announcement is made though. As for Atem, I am saying she should be considered a lier no matter what until the announcement is made, we should only trust something straight from Kings Dominion, not on a forum.

Six Flags Great Adventure! I am from New Jersey (moved to Northern Virginia), so I may even get to see some of my family! -

Griffon is an obvious one, with only two drops and two inversions. The first 90* drop was the only thing I found thrilling about Griffon. -
Nürburgring launched coaster
kingsdominionlvr replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
B&M Hypers (i.e. Diamondback) cost 22 million. 4 dimension coasters (i.e. X/X2) costs 46 million. Sources are rcdb and wikipedia. -

Kings Dominion, tomorrow! I guess I better get some rest, so I feel up to it. -
Nürburgring launched coaster
kingsdominionlvr replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Very good point, I never thought of it that way. I don't think Intamin has the ability to make that fast of a launch coaster though, S&S may have been their only option. As for atem, 4 dimension coasters are not made often because they cost a whole lot of cash, not necessarily because of maintenance problems. -

Nürburgring launched coaster
kingsdominionlvr replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hypersonic XLC was 55 mph slower and had equal capacity to Ring Racer and it was a failure. S&S needs to take advantage of designs they got from Arrow such as the 4th dimension coasters, rather than sticking to low-capacity maintenance nightmares. I could even see them making hyper coasters in the future. Facts are facts, they need to branch out to stay in business. Ring Racer may be great for Nürburgring, they may not need a high capacity, low maintenance roller coaster, but most parks do need exactly that. This may not be a failure for Nürburgring, but it will be for S&S. -

This is not a "fail" for the park, it is a fail for S&S. They have made enough launched coasters that are unreliable and low capacity, if that is all they can do, they will be bankrupt very soon. Look at what types of coasters are being built now a days, most are high capacity, low maintenance. They need to learn from companies like B&M and use some of the technology from Arrow.
