Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
BaMiTsPaT replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My cousin yesterday "I don't know how Splash Mountain is still running with the amount of deaths that have happened on it." ...I don't think there was more than one, and I am pretty sure it was rider-caused. -
I figured I would post my review of HHN 21 on this thread instead of making an entirely new thread for it, as I have no pictures from the event. I went two nights, and had a really awesome time. SPOILER WARNING!!! Houses: Forsaken 2x: Forsaken was the first house that we went to, and I was not that impressed the first time we went through it. It was still daylight outside, and so my eyes had a terrible time adjusting to the dimness. Also, there were not many scares here and the green eyes gave away many of the scareactor locations. The huge courtyard scene was amazing, and seeing all of the pirates there looking at you was quite intimidating. Most of the sets were boring though. Scares: 3/5 Sets: 2.5/5 Overall: 5.5/10 The In-between 1x: This was the second house we went to, and it was my first 3-D house ever. The costuming was awesome, and the string room was really trippy, but overall this maze was not very scary. I also liked the wing actors and the spinning hallway, but I wish there were more actors in this one. It was also very hard to keep the glasses on my head while looking quickly from side to side. The facade is also very cool to look at before entering the house. Scares: 2/5 Sets: 3/5 Overall: 5/10 Nevermore 2x: This house was amazing! The sets were so detailed, and I was truly frightened by some scenes in here. I remember one hallway where Poe is on the left, and there is a boohole on the right. Both time we went through this house my friend hugged the left side by Poe and stared at the boohole. Her reasoning was, "Edgar is innocent he would never hurt me!" She was mistaken. The raven hallway is amazing, but I am not a huge fan of triggered sound effects. The craziest room by far was the room with the dancers (sorry I don't know what story that is from). I could not tell which dancers were real and which were not, so this was quite a surreal experience. Scares: 4/5 Sets: 5/5 Overall: 9/10 Saws & Steam 2x: This was probably the most intense house of the event. From the minute you walk in you are assaulted by loud noises aplenty. I love the steampunk vibe and the backstory. This is also the goriest house of the event. I was excited to be able to see the guy cutting the leg off a victim, and loved the blood effects. The scare actors in this house were very aggressive, and the sets were insanely detailed for a queue house. I loved the chainsaw guy at the exit. After we went through this house the second time we sat on a bench and watched him scare people as they exited. Scares: 4/5 Sets: 4.5/5 Overall: 8.5/10 H.R Bloodengutz 2x: The queue video for this house was amazing. It was so funny, yet so chilling at the same time. I loved the facade, and that H.R was in the first room. This house was a lot less intense than others in the scares department, as I would expect from a comedy house, but I love how they were able to twist each holiday into the crazy rooms of this house. Scares: 2/5 Sets: 4/5 Overall: 6/10 The Thing 1x: I was really anticipating this house, as I had heard great things about it. It constantly had the longest line when we walked by, and so I was hoping it would be amazing. I was wrong. This house was really disappointing. I did not get scared once, and the costumes were really disappointing. The masks looked incredibly fake, and the sets were not much to look at. Scares: 1.5/5 Sets: 2.5/5 Overall: 4/10 Nightingales: Blood Prey 2x: This house had a five minute wait both times we went on it, which is bizarre, as this is easily the best house of the event. the scare actors were really aggressive, and it was incredibly loud throughout. I screamed like a little girl in one scene where they perfectly timed a double scare. I love the trenches, and the overhead scares. Scares: 5/5 Sets: 4/5 Overall: 9/10 Winter's Night 2x: This house was amazing to look at. The first room with the snowing is crazy. It really makes you feel like you are in a cemetery. The crypts are really cool, as you can't tell which nooks the scare actors will come out of. Though most of the scares had triggered sound effects, I was still startled a lot in this house. The last room is amazing, and made me run out of the house screaming! Scares: 4/5 Sets: 4/5 Overall: 8/10 Scarezones: Seven: We did this scarezone first both nights, and were very much alone in it. We were scared from all over by the chainsaw team, and the actors for the sins. It is hard to see the sins, as the actors are everywhere, forcing your eyes on the streets. I like how the music changes throughout the night, and the sins are truly gross at the end of the night. 8/10 Grown Evil: This zone was really cool at night, but not very exciting while the sun was still out. The costumes were really cool, and the music was very chilling. I like the amount of fog in this zone, but it is not very scary compared to some of the other zones. 6/10 Canyon of Dark Souls: This zone is really claustrophobic! The fog makes it impossible to see the actors coming, and if you try to go near the wall to avoid them, the actors in the wall emerge to scare you. It is really a cool zone that is very intense if you make yourself a target. 7/10 Acid Assault: This zone is really cool. The building projections are cool, and the scare actors are great! I love the costumes here, and the scenery is great. 8/10 Your Luck Has Run Out: This zone really sucks. The lady lucks with the masks are not scary, and it is not very big. A real disappointment. 3/10 Nightmaze: Nightmaze was an interesting scarezone. The actors had some cool costumes with the fan-like shapes that they made. I like that the walls move, but when there are a lot of people walking through it is too easy to find the way out. Overall, not as bad as I thought it would be. 5/10 Bill & Ted: I heard that this show was terrible this year, but I did not think it was that bad. Other than some obscure references (Suckerpunch, Green Horney)that I had not seen, this show was quite funny. I thought it was a lot of fun, and cannot wait until next year! 7/10

I don't like that most of the cars that you win for driver levels in Forza 4 are at the top of their class, so you really cannot do anything to them unless to want to move them up a few classes Part of me wants to do it, but part of me does not think that a Mazdaspeed 3 belongs in the B or A divisions.

I bet the Caps are feeling a small bit of regret after Varlamov's season so far compared to the Caps goaltenders. It's only a few games in, but Varlamov is really shining out in Denver.

I miss all the Intamin Ag 1st Gen Free Falls!
BaMiTsPaT replied to VMan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The only 1st generation freefall I have been on is Demon Drop at Dorney Park. I loved the crazy lift and excellent drop, but the part where these rides flatten out is quite painful on my back, and the transition back down to the station is jarring. I still wish there were more around though, because I feel they are a different experience than newer drop towers. -
I picked up Forza 4 at around 3PM today and installed all the add-ons. By 3:30 I was fully engrossed in it. This game is amazing! If you have Forza 3, it is not that much different, as it only has a handful of new tracks, but the visuals are even more impressive.
-
I read on Screamscape that Batman is still down, and DDD is now down, but that they should be back up this weekend according to someone at the park. Is SFOG usually pretty reliable when it comes to staying true to their word? I will be going Sunday only then driving through to Florida. EDIT: Also, what are the crowds usually like on Sundays in October?

Yup I too have had Forza 4 pre-ordered for more than a month. Getting the Limited edition version and so excited! The graphics are incredible, and it has a great shot of being crowned best racing game to date.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

Today from a girl on my girlfriend's softball team: "Yeah, I heard they are taking down El Toro because it's wooden and it's chipping away." -

Photo TR: Kings Island & 'The Haunt'
BaMiTsPaT replied to Invertalon's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Welcome back to TPR. These pictures are breath-taking, and the Diamondback pictures struck awe in me! -
It is very exciting to hear about the 4-abreast seating because my biggest qualm with Flashback is the capacity. If they eventually do get rid of Flashback, then at least they replaced it with a larger, more exciting version that also has higher (theoretical) capacity, and a more picturesque location.

Moreys Piers Discussion Thread
BaMiTsPaT replied to LcHg5265's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Who would buy the chairlift? To me it just fits in that spot on the pier. Wouldn't someone need a similar setup to use it? I am not a chairlift aficionado. -

Legoland Florida Discussion Thread

This is looking awesome! It seems that thanks to Cypress Gardens this will be the Legoland with the most unique coasters. I can't wait to see opening day reports! -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
BaMiTsPaT replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I too like Disaster Transport, but the idea of a nice GCI or Intamin wooden coaster there is too good to have any bad feelings about the rumored removal of DT. -
What is your next park?

Favorite Standalone Haunts?
BaMiTsPaT replied to Stephen G's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You've inspired me to go here on October 15th on my way down to HHN! Looks like an awesome attraction to add to my trip! -
I just picked up the new Blink-182 CD that came out today, and so far so good. I thought I wouldn't like the "new" Blink-182 that sounds like Angels & Airwaves, but I like the CD so far.

Favorite Standalone Haunts?
BaMiTsPaT replied to Stephen G's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've only been to a few that were not linked to a theme park, but this one is probably my favorite. It was fairly long and unique IMO. I didn't feel like I was a part of a conga line, and the part in the woods is extremely creepy! http://spookywoods.com/
