If I remember correctly from the other day, I think I've been on 56. -

Whoever the Knoebels webmaster is, they are my new hero. They're laying the smackdown on the morons commenting on that video. Pretty hilarious. -

Holding off on my opinion of this one until I actually get to ride it. New B&M's don't warrant much excitement anymore. -
Yeah I don't know if I completely believe that either. You don't exactly have a good view of anyone else's restraint on the ride, and to say you were a couple rows back and somehow noticed a lapbar popping up seems to be a stretch. Not to mention those lapbars are freakin' hard to push down, and I dunno if the force from the ride alone would be enough to push it back down had it indeed released. So you're trying to tell me that being two rows back, as the train is ascending a hill, you wouldn't be able to see a restraint pop up? That's the story you're rolling with?

Wasn't he like 2 rows back? Would he have actually been able to see it and if so how did he know to look? I am calling BS on his tweets. The fact that he called it a "restraint" and the fact that he actually sounded like a somewhat intelligent human being gives me a little faith in his story. Much more faith than the click lady. Just because he was two rows back doesn't mean he wouldn't or couldn't have seen exactly what happened.

^I think that's just the boat creaking at the top of the lift hill. -

Shoot the Rapids needs to meet the big boneyard in the sky. Put something of actual worth there. -

Gotta love those Western PA parks and their endless amounts of charm. Even Conneaut is charming in its own janky, run down, barely standing kinda way. -

Light breeze on the ground doesn't mean there isn't crazy wind blowing 420 feet in the air. As for the person's question about 15 mph winds, I'm fairly certain the Sky Ride stops running in 15+ mph winds. Other than that, I think the rest of the rides need a stiffer breeze to be blowing. -
For my GCI rankings: Thunderhead American Thunder (Evel Knievel) Prowler Lightning Racer Kentucky Rumbler White Lightning Apocalypse (Terminator) Wildcat Roar Gwazi While it looks like White Lightning is low on my list, I have it at #16 on my overall woodie list (which includes over 70). Definitely a great ride.
