If you get there at opening, you can easily get in a couple rides on the coaster with little wait. -

Carowinds Discussion Thread
alpengeist04 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes, I've been on Raging Bull along with the rest of the B&M hypers here in the states. Intimidator is still last on my hyper list. Also, I had the same opinion of intimidator before Fury was built. It's not a bad coaster at all, just the weakest of the B&M hypers. ...what a waste after the mcbr. From 10:00am-3pm Intimidator's line was noticeably longer. I went on each ride about 5 times during that time using fast pass +. So I was walking past each line quite a bit in those 5 hours. I had to head out after that. -

Yes, definitely hit Nighthawk first and Ricochet early. As far as Intimidator goes, I would probably do that before Fury too. I was there last Saturday and the line for Intimidator was much longer than Fury. ...much quicker dispatching on Fury. Also, I would rank Intimidator dead last as far as the B&M hypers goes, while Fury is right there with Goliath as my favorite non- inverting B&M. Another tip, I would at least try and get one ride in the front left seat on Afterburn. ....Some of the best foot choppers on any coaster. -

Star Wars-VII was fantastic. It really felt like the original trilogy again, which happen to be my favorite movies of all time. I'm going to try and see it again tomorrow afternoon.

Golden Ticket Awards - 2015
alpengeist04 replied to GCI Wooden's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I smiled when I looked at that top 10 steel coaster list. I wouldn't put Nitro, Apollo's Chariot, or Intimidator on the top 10 B&M list let alone overall steel, but that's me. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
alpengeist04 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yea, I think ranking the wooden coasters is a lot easier than the steel. And after being on all the highly ranked wooden coasters in the U.S. over the last 5 or 6 years, my top 4 stand head and shoulders above the rest. ...1. El Toro, 2. Phoenix, 3. Outlaw Run, 4. Boulder dash. -

The only problem is the invert, dive, and hyper are B&M's best coaster types. -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

For me, Exp. Everest and Rockin' Rollercoaster. Well, this morning was good crowd wise for DAK and DHS. At Animal Kingdom, some trains were being sent out half full on Everest. A complete walk-on for the first hour or so. I was able to get 10 rides in by 9:55. Then headed over to Hollywood Studios to find a 10 minute wait for TOT and 20 minutes for Rockin' Rollercoaster. -
Worst Ride Replacements/Downgrades

Definitely Superman/Bizarro at SFNE. I still can't believe they screwed with arguably the best steel coaster at the time.
