Photo TR: Hersheypark opening weekend
alpengeist04 replied to DerekRx's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I'm really looking forward to trying the new trains on Wildcat too, but unfortunately I'll have to wait till next May. -
EL TORO vs. THE VOYAGE
alpengeist04 replied to imbordisux's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have to agree with you on that. ET and ROS are the two coasters I could actually marathon. I guess that's one of the many reasons why these two coasters are head and shoulders above anything else I have ridden. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
alpengeist04 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sorry to hear about the delay, but this is the reason why I wait to go to parks with new coasters opening. Of course, I lucked out last year with El Toro, riding it 4 days after it opened. ...but I wouldn't make a habit of trying to time an opening. ...so I'll wait till next May to ride Maverick and just settle for Mystery Mine and Griffon later this year. -
Photo TR: Six Flags Great America Opening Day!
alpengeist04 replied to Golfie's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
It's no different than CP having Wicked Twister, Iron Dragon, and Raptor or how about Kings Dominion having 4 coasters that launch. -
Revenge Of The Mummy at USO
alpengeist04 replied to EpcotLova's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have to disagree a little bit here. While the Mummy doesn't have as much airtime as the B&M hypers, the airtime it does have is so much better. ...now the Intamin hypers are a whole different story. As for which is better the Hulk or Mummy, IMO it's the the Mummy hands down. Heck I have the Hulk as my 8th favorite steel coaster in Florida, behind ROTM, Montu, DD-Fire, Sheikra, DD-Ice, Kumba, and Kraken. (in that order) -
Photo TR: Breakfast with Spiderman
alpengeist04 replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Nice TR. What a difference a couple days makes.(...and yes I know the Spiderman event wasn't going on yet. ) The Hulk had a 10 minute wait most of Wednesday, along with Spiderman and Dr. Doom. ...oh and while I didn't have breakfast with Spidey, I did see the movie Friday at downtown Disney. -
Photo TR: Orlando parks, SWF, Magic Kingdom
alpengeist04 replied to WillMontu's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Thanks, for the PTR. ...and it's nice to see the short line for Kraken. Hopefully, it'll be that short when I ride in 12 days. -
Tips for SFGAdv much appreciated
alpengeist04 replied to BC's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Unfortunately, as the weather gets better, the line for El Toro will grow and grow. -

Get the gold flash pass, it's so worth it. IMO, Great Adventure is no fun on the weekends without it. ...and Derek's plan is a good one to follow. -
Dude...what are you smoking? It kicked all kinds of a$$! Planet Terror was great, but Death Proof was so awesome. It took a little while to get going, but seriously...wow. Rodriguez does a good job cloning/mocking the genres, Tarantino knocked it out of the park in my opinion. I have to agree with Wes. Planet Terror was as good as I thought it would be, and Death Proof was even better.

TR / Rant: Hersheypark April 6th 2007
alpengeist04 replied to Jim S.'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Very true, even a slightly slower Storm Runner is better than 98 percent of the coasters in the country. ...and I can't wait to get back up there to ride Wildcat with the new coaster trains. I have a feeling it will move up on my wooden coaster list from #9. -

Sounds to me like Storm Runner shouldn't have been running due to the temperature. -
What is your favorite band?
alpengeist04 replied to SonOfBeastSucks's topic in Random, Random, Random
Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. Oh wait, this isn't the favorite Disney actress turned pop singer is it. Actually, I would have to say Aerosmith. -

Ride Griffon before it opens!
alpengeist04 replied to bgwfreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sorry, but at least it improves my odds. -
I have to go with Planet Terror. Zombie movies rule.
