Some questions about SFGadv....
coastakid replied to canada's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I may be young, but I am wise, and a true GADV'er. 1.) One day is enough to get on all major coasters, like you want to, and possibly a second ride later on. 2.) I would say Wensday, or Thursday 3.) I would recommend getting Flash Pass if you want to have a guarenteed re-ride. 4.) There are a "few" good flats like Twister, Space Shuttle, but that is pretty much it! (GADV really needs to pick up some more flats) There are some good water-rides like Rip-tide, Congo River Rapids, Saw Mill Log Flume, and also Movie Town Water Effect. 5.)I wouldn't waste my time, but I am pretty sure it is 6-8$ a ride, and they aren't the best go-carts. Pretty slow IMO 6.) -Kingda Ka = Front, no explanation needed -El Toro = Back, for the airtime -Nitro = Back, for the only airtime available on the ride -Medusa = Anywhere, Anywhere, but front has a great view -Superman = Middle, gives best +G's on Pretzel Loop -Batman:The Ride = Back, has insane + forces -Batman & Robin are unfortunetley closed due to a major wheel assembley problem with Robin. 7.)You can pretty much plan your day by ear, since Kingda Ka and El Toro break down (somewhat) often, mainly Ka, but El Toro has its bugs to work out too! There is also a Skyride which takes you across the park, and a bridge which crosses from Plaza del Carnival to Frontier Adventures, which has been closed, but recently re-opened with El Toro. (P.S. -I am heading out to the park again the same week as you on Thursday...You can PM me if you have any more questions, or wanna meet up or something?) -
Check out this new ride from Mondial
coastakid replied to Freakkie's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Coastakid wanna ride! I've never been on a Topscan or Airwolf, given my location, and none travel to fairs within an hour of my house, or even 2! I would love to ride this. The good part is I don't get sick on any rides, and never will (hopefully). -
Cleveland / Geauga Lake - 5/28 and 5/29
coastakid replied to Reality15's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Sorry I don't have time to read the whole thing, but what happened to the water park, netherless Huricane Mountain! It looked so cool. I have it on video from a Travel Channel Special. It looked sick! -
I headed out there today with Camp too! The Park was dead...but the waterpark is a different story. I got 15 rides on superman and 10 of them front row rides. There wasn't even a line for Superman. Today was Great!

Coaster with best Speed
coastakid replied to MSLSM's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Kingda Ka- I didn't really like the ride too much until I rode in the front row...Now that was a feeling of speed, and it even gave me a free hair-dew (sp) I told my mom that, and she said, "Even if it gives peolp a free blow dry, I'm not going on!" -
The problem wasn't with Mr. Freeze... It was at Six Flags Great Adventure with their Batman & Robin : The Chiller. I guess on of Robin's wheel assemblies fell off and caused the ride to come to a haulting stop. After this, all premier coasters were closed for inspection, and the few that have been inspected have opened, which is very few and some may not be open until next season, including the Chiller

Best and Lamest Coaster "Ending"
coastakid replied to Teddymonster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Best- Superman: Ride of Steel- SFNE : Intense ejector-air in the front rows, but still great floater/ejector-air in the back. Worst- Kingda Ka- GADV : Very fast and thrilling roller coaster, but with a very mild, ending bunny-hill, barely creating floater-air. -

Sheikra Rocked!
coastakid replied to RctInfinity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I know, it's not that rough, but of you sit past the 4th row it can become slightly bumpy. I live and hour from the Coney Island Cyclone. I can handle bumpy, and I know that. The Cyclone in the back seat is the best -
Sheikra Rocked!
coastakid replied to RctInfinity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I may be young "12", but I'm a coaster nerd that loves SheiKra... My suggestion is that if your really scared (which you shouldn't be, because your safe) is to sit in the middle row, (and if your directed there, just ask to sit in the middle and they "may" let you wait) becuase it doesn't give you the insane hang-time the front row does, and not the intense air-time the back does over the 1st and 2nd drops. Great ride... Also, sit in the "more" center parts of the train on rides like Scorpion, Python, Montu, and Kumba. On Gwazi, make sure you sit before the 4th row, becuase otherwise it can be a rough ride. My tips are only if you find you are scared. becuase otherwise head for the fronts of the trains, becuase I find them to be much more fun and thrilling than the center, but the way back definetley "sp" gives a more intense ride. All I can say now is have fun! -
Rides that will never happen
coastakid replied to zaneymon's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The scary thing is, thats being considered. The fact that monorails are essentially hovering above the track, never touching it, reduces friction by miles and means you can reach fast speeds. I don't know how inversions would work... I suppose if its at a decents speed it would make no difference. However, some cameras screw up around them. Mine can't even handle CA' Screamins launch (LIMs?) its make a strange 'bzzhhzzhHAbhhha' sound... Monorail coasters are real! I have videos of the one from Freedom Land in the Bronx. My grandpas, not mine They went soooo... fast for such small coasters. -
