  1. Could it be that really large helix? It also get's sort of repetitive after a while from what I've seen with those last few camel backs.
  2. That was the neatest thing I've ever seen. It's an epic coaster win!
  3. Do they have any major holidays, that may cause the capacity of guests to increase? Like theme parks on the fourth of July? Anyhow, at least they have an element of job security, since they won't have to rehire every new season. Though I wonder how the cold affects the maintenance...
  4. I think it's a Buddhist symbol. They look very similar. Overall, that park is really umm... neat. I laughed when I saw the Screw Coaster!
  5. King Da Ka all the way. It talked about so much just because it sets records. But quality isn't always part of popularity. I honestly thin that there are a lot more coasters that deserve attention then that one.
  6. I guess you have a point with the Indiana Jones thing. Those movies are classic. I kind of just wish they would leave dueling dragons as is.
  7. I'm planning right now. I'll need to fly into LAX though, right? Is it also possible that any of us could carpool?
  8. This looks really neat. maybe this is part of that alternate ending theory. This would even add to the anticipation. You wouldn't know if you were going backwards or forwards during the ride. I hope it is real!
  9. I've always know about your videos, but Brandon from RC-Pro suggested that I check you guys out.
  10. ^The website is ok. I do enjoy the web cam though. I love looking at them when I'm bored. I've never had a problem with it.
  11. Hey everyone, I'm fairly new here and I wanted to start something to break the ice. So what would be better than doing that then by talking about the reasons why we hate Vekoma. The following are my reasons in alphabetic form: -Awful Layouts: Repetitive and unoriginal layouts make Vekoma boring! -Butt Crack: When you have the impression that your crack is showing out of the back of your seat on their SLCs. -Crotch: Need I say anymore? -Dangerous: Those coasters honestly can hurt you. -Ecstasy: If you are a masochist -Friends: don't let friends ride Vekoma: It should be the new slogan for the ad council -Gasping for air: When the OTSR is to tight -Heartline: Yeah right, more like flat line. -Idiots: The people who get excited about the ride and when they walk off realize it wasn't that great. -Jaded: ^Guess what sucka? You just waited an hour for that stuff! ^ -Killer: *COUGH*Firehawk*COUGH& -Ludicrous: How did these pieces of crap get to be so popular? -Male ops hitting on you: I swear this guy was hitting on me. I was scared. -Nobody cares: about your company, even if you did have the first flying coaster. I also don't gives a rat's azz about four across seating. -Overrated: The GP love them, I can't stand them. -Permanent: They just don't die!! -Queues: Don't even get me started on this one -Restraints: There is nothing to grab on to! -STDS: Gosh knows what the last person who was sitting in your seat was doing. -Tacky: If you think about, it looks like a giant chunk of steel coaster poo. -Utter waste: Why can't parks think these things through instead of wasting space with this stuff? -Vomit: Vekomas on a hot day may make some do so. -Wham!: It's what happens when the coaster goes all George of the Jungle on the second half of the SLC. -XXX: They are hardcore, in a very bad way -Zero: it's what I give their rides out of ten! What are yours?
  12. The sad thing is, we are only behind Europe in our Vekoma count.
  13. Indoor sections are always a plus. It would be cool to see a gerslaugher coaster. They look so cool when they are compact and indoors!
  14. But what happens when they stop making movies? They have already stopped making books. I wouldn't consider harry potter to be a classic. (A look a like Hermione would be nice though ) She actually is sort of hot.
  15. That is really neat stuff. I'll have to think about getting it. What was it like working for them?
  16. If the cake is a lie, then what is the brownie?
  17. My worst experience was at sfne. It's my home park and it's gotten better, but my mothers camera was stolen and my dad was sick so he didn't want to go on superman, that was a few years ago.
  18. I might just migrate from the boondocks to come out there for that!
  19. That's exactly it, a park can't have a temporary trend or theme that ruins a ride and then will have to be redone in a few years. That's why it's sad. They are ruining dueling dragons in my opinion.
  20. So it definitely is a family coaster. A guess the more hype they made, the better they made it , even tough it looks only half decent. Judging by the track, it doesn't seem like anything special. Where are the spines on this thing?
  21. Do you ever think the more it's closed than the more the public will be hesitant to ride it when it reopens? They should be working ASAP to get it open!
  22. The Nerdiest thing I ever did was explain roller coaster mechanics to my friends when we went to six flags. Brake Runs and such!
  23. How on earth can you tell that based on reading a google translation about the park and seeing a concept image? Dave "HRP looked pretty cool in development" Wilson Ahh, but china has a different outlook on everything. Some people may never have even seen a flying coaster. Plus the park doesn't have employees with tattoos being purposely shown. It all comes down to image and hard rock had one that didn't work. This one in more general and I think has a higher chance of success.
  24. That's not fair to say that knots already has a drop tower. Cedar point had four! But if it's aesthetics they wanted, they could have painted it and added effects. I just think they ran out of money honestly.
