Great TR from a kind of out of the way park! Love the photos of coasters with an active volcano behind them! -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

I can vouch for the 'avoid the KD exit stuff'. We like the Hampton Inn Ashland. Bonus points for a ton of food options right around it. Check out Pepicelli's Pizza, it's a local place that's really good. -
Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread

^It has been announced that it will do boarding groups like how Rise used to. And with Resort Guests getting priority unless you're staying on site I wouldn't count on riding it. -
I don't think it's a secret that the BGT operations have left A LOT to be desired the last few years. It's really quite disappointing as the park is actually quite amazing, but if it's hot out and you're dealing with full queues with lackluster employees it can be annoying. Also, it's dumb putting ChickFilA in parks, I'm saying it!!!!

Icon Park - Drop Tower opens today
SharkTums replied to tndank's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, it's common to name everyone remotely related to something, but also common to have most of that thrown out. Like if someone chokes and dies while a server looks on at Outback Steakhouse are you going to sue Icon Park?!!? Maybe, but they don't have direct culpability. -

^The small drop tower really is the hidden gem of that park! -

^That's a bummer to hear, I really need the parks to get back to where they were pre-pandemic! -
Everland Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to dr.gumbo's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think it's going to be a problem moving forward that a lot of the parks instituted annoying "covid" procedures and policy's and they're just going to stick around cause it's easier and cheaper! -
Shanghai Disney Resort Discussion Thread

Maybe once they get their population vaccinated with a slightly more effective vaccine they will open up more. -
Just throwing in my opinion of Emperor. The ride itself is actually really good and probably in the top of the Dive Coasters. I love that it doesn't have a midcourse or the same repeat sections that so many of the dive coasters have. They do need to theme it up a bit more though, and KT and I got super sunburned while at the park!

Icon Park - Drop Tower opens today
SharkTums replied to tndank's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's not a "park" the way they're talking about it on the news. Icon Park is just an outdoor area of I-Drive that has a ton of restaurants and shops NOT ASSOCIATED IN ANYWAY with the Slingshot Group/Funtime/Free fall accident. We eat at the Carrabbas, Outback, Shake Shack, and Yard House there all the time. -

^Exactly. ^^Yeah, they know that, they're just showing that due to the tilt PLUS the forces on the brakes is why he slipped out. -

It's a horrifying and terrible accident. Clearly the restraint and body shape of the boy did not work. A seatbelt might have helped but we have seen this exact accident before. I'm sure we'll see FunTime add seatbelts to all of their towers now but we also have to be careful with OTSR's positioning.
