Energylandia Park Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Yes! Thank you! ^^I don't even know what this means? Perhaps a language issue? Wojok told Robb his opinion and statement of facts about what we experienced at the park was wrong. Robb told Wojok to take his crap elsewhere. This was not just a "Robb Alvey" issue. We had a group of 24 people at the park with us, and even the people who enjoyed the park/rides more than we did still agreed that there were a LOT of issues. In fact, the group (without the three Alvey's voting) voted to leave the park EARLIER than planned! I don't think we even mentioned that in the last however many pages of random crap! So it wasn't an issue that it was too crowded or anything like that, it was just a frustrating park. I don't know what you mean about opening ceremony? Are you talking about Zadra? Do you think we would have flown back to Poland a month after not loving the park just for a new RMC? Look, RMC's are great and everything but they are pretty similar (think back to 90's B&M's) and I don't need to run out of my way to hit up a new one as soon as it opens. We have good friends that went to Energylandia months ago and had almost none of our same issues. That's great! Good for them! I think it's important to report on ALL trips to the park so you know to expect an average of probably somewhere in between a great visit and our visit. People are allowed to have opinions, that includes Robb and others...but you all have to respect each other's opinions! -

Legendia Park Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I feel like I need to weigh in here and I have some street cred. After all, don't forget, that if you name a character after me in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, it will go around saying how much she wants to ride an Intamin ride. That being said, I rode and enjoyed Lech Coaster a TON more than Hyperion. I wanted to love Hyperion more than anything and anybody, but I just couldn't. It was way too 'vibraty'. It gave me a headache after one ride. Then the next day I went and freakin marathoned the Vekoma ride!?! If anyone had ever told me this would ever happen I would have called them crazy and walked away after rolling my eyes. Now, I fully believe that if the park took better care of Hyperion it could give some AMAZING rides and probably be tied with Lech Coaster in my eyes for "best coaster in Poland", but I've always believed in judging a ride fairly and not by "the omg best night rides" or "after it's warmed up all day" or "at this enthusiast event you can ride it three times in a row", you have to judge it by how it normally delivers. I have friends that I trust their opinions and they say they had great rides on it. That's awesome, but I have to judge it by the rides I took. Let's remember that it's kind of cool that Poland now has a kick ass RMC, Vekoma, and Intamin when five years ago they basically had NOTHING!!! -

I feel that Symbolica really helped the park become less 'overhyped' in my eyes! -
Energylandia Park Discussion Thread

Very hit or miss. Some kiddie rides had three employees and they were having fun with guests and doing a great job! Some had employees sleeping on the entrance stairs that you would have to step over. Nothing was super fast (food, merch, and rides), but it certainly wasn't the worst we've seen. -

The new area looks like a completely different park! Obviously different designers and budget...which kind of makes the whole thing more aggravating! -
Carowinds Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^That almost makes sense. People online are trying to figure out how a 'thumb' injury closes the ride for multiple days. But if a part of the train flew off that isn't supposed to, then that makes sense of why it's still closed. -
If it's true that he was fooling around (even if it was common practice) and that's what caused the injury then this is a big wake up call indeed. Some of the stuff I've seen employees do is crazy. One small misstep when jumping over track, moving right before or after the train leaves the station, or 'surfing' the coaster can cause serious injury or death!

Europa Park Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Of course they did! This isn't Six Flags we're talking about! -
^Try to buy tickets and express passes for Universal Osaka and then you won't complain as much about the Florida park! We're looking at $400+ per person for one day for admission and express passes that still won't even cover ALL of the rides and attractions! I totally agree with you that ticketing shouldn't be so complex, but at the same time I guess it's good to have a million options if it saves you money (not that it saves you money on the weekend, but other people on the weekdays!) On the app right now the line for Hagrid's is 150min. I know it's been easier lately though for people to get on it so just go early!

^We passed this year as SFMM could not guarantee West Coast Racers would be open (Looks like we made the right call!), it will definitely be back next year!

I honestly feel like someone at Epcot loves me. I mean, how "Elissa-Friendly" is this event!?!? Cheese, Potstickers, Rodents, Raclette, and now Joey Fatone!?!?! IS IT AUGUST 29 YET?!!?
