Utopia's Orion Kingdom [RCT2]
Retro_Gaga replied to hydra's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I like the rapids! Very nice how the bumpers go all the way under! The station for the floorless is awesome, I totally see what you are trying to do and it's awesome! -
SF Great Adventure Question
Retro_Gaga replied to Retro_Gaga's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ok! Thanks for the quick response. -
Hey guys, I have a quick question about Great Adventure. Me and my friends are going and we have a parent driving us there and dropping us off and picking up. The question is, does the parent have to pay for parking to drop us off or pick us up? Or is there a designated area for this? Thanks in advance!

When I went to CP I was terrified to get on MF or TTD not gonna lie, I forced myself into the line for MF and waiting for it was just as terrifying and when I got to the station I was a nervous wreck but I locked myself in real tight as fast as possible and just sat there so I couldn't chicken out and I ended up loving it, trust me i've been where you are now MF feels no higher than a hyper coaster IMO. So then I said hell TTD is only a little bit higher and faster so I forced myself in line for that and I ended up loving it as well. And if you don't like it the first time it's only 30 seconds to a minute and you never have to do it again. Height is only a concept and your mind isn't going to notice much difference between 200 to 300 unless you overthink and let it. Hope that helped

B&M Hyper restraint/lapbar system
Retro_Gaga replied to pkd freak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I personally think stapling on these rides is almost necessary. I rode Apollo during the summer in the back row with my restraint not stapled and the first drop was amazing as I floating but when we hit the twisting dive before the helix, I was really bounced around floating inbwtween the seat and the clamshell, I felt safe but it was a bit scary and now I see why stapling is done. -

I liked Lady Gaga's performance and her song with Elton. Some of the winners were like "huh" though. lol

http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2010/01/sneak-peek-at-hkdl-expansion-with-new.html The 5th picture down shows a halfpipe coaster, but it doesn't look Intiamin. And the car design would fit the big train of the Vekoma big air train design. Just a thought, any opinions? EDIT : It was also make sense because Disney has a history with Vekoma. Rn'R, EE, DLP's BTR, All their kiddie coasters were built by Vekoma, so this would make sense.

It took me a few looks to see that it was not NL lol. It looks really amazing, keep up the good work! I love the multi-car euro-fighter trains. -
Coasters at Night
Retro_Gaga replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wicked Twister is an awesome ride at night. I love when you go up the first spike and when the train stops and there is no noise and it feels like you hang there forever. -
Coasters at Night
Retro_Gaga replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hrmmm My list would have to be : El Toro - For some reason it's alot more intense. Wicked Twister - Just plain awesome. Nitro - Into the backwoods. Big Bad Wolf - out of control. Bizzaro/Medusa - the effects are so much better at night. -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
Retro_Gaga replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It doesn't have to be due to forces you know. The ride could be under heavy use of strobes or fog which aren't good for extended periods of time. It might have nothing to do with the forces exerted by the ride. -
Most Overrated coaster?
Retro_Gaga replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Griffon and Sheikra, sure the drops are fun but both the coasters are short and more of an attraction than a ride. They're more of spectator pieces. I know when ever I was near Griffon during my trip to BGW, the bridge and areas surrounding the coaster were always FILLED with people. Don't get me wrong, I love both coasters, but are they that amazing.... no. -
Water Coaster VS Log Flume
Retro_Gaga replied to dmaxsba2408's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Water coasters actually have wheels on the boats with upstops, guide and road wheel assemblies, that at one point during the course thread onto a track. JTA has an entire coaster section in the dark. Dudley Do Right's drops are tracked, the logs thread onto the track then detach for the free floating section. for the DD:Falls, I think they have upstops but they don't thread onto a track they just keep the boat from falling off the drop and jumping out of the splash lake. -
