Probably a new mold in the seats that allow smaller people (kids) to ride, and that I highly approve! When most of BGA's major coasters are a 54 inch requirement, seeing the newest and most unique coaster come in and have shorter height restrictions is a great idea. I can't wait 'till they start doing full speed tests, but right now the coaster looks great!

Actually, that does look a lot closer to the neighborhood and mall than I had expected. Kingda Ka is built in a park that's practically in the middle of a forest, and TTD is on an island. With the amount of noise that machine produces, I'm sure the neighborhood wouldn't have been happy. I'm not suprised they said no, they need new land with nothing within a certain distance all around them. Oh well, it would have been nice to have another 400+ ft. Strata Coaster in the U.S.

Dang, I missed out on two different versions of this coaster: Original hard restraint no trims ride, and the soft restraint trimmed ride. I hope to soon ride it before it goes through another change (if it does... I'm sure it won't). Great photo-TR BTW! -

No harm done . It's better to see the coaster is still going to run, and it's better to hear that it's going to run this year. It's just another reason why I should come up to New Jersey some day. Great PTR! You got a lot of rides in that day, were most of the rides walk-ons? -
Gardaland / Raptor
Midgetman82 replied to Schwarzkopf's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That coaster looks cool, and I think it's a good thing that this new concept for B&M wasn't taken extreme (eg. 100+ ft. drop, 4-6 inversions, 60mph, etc.). That barrel roll (picture 4) looks really new and askew... Has B&M ever gone this loose on their coasters? Cool pictures of the ride BTW. -
Mitch Hawker 2010 poll
Midgetman82 replied to Skycoastin Steve's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Top 5: 1. X2 2. Montu 3. Kumba 4. SheiKra 5. Favorite Wood Coaster Any Park Anywhere (Terminator: Salv.) Bottom 5: 33. Space Mountain 34. Whizzer 35. Journey to Atlantis 36. Dahlonega Mine Train 37. Viper Some coasters end up on the bottom partially because of how I haven't been on them for a few years. Some got left out because I can't remember my experience on them at all. -
Mitch Hawker 2010 poll
Midgetman82 replied to Skycoastin Steve's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^But it's a 2010 poll. Have people been on it last year? Ahh, this poll I can feel better about because I have more coasters to list! Let's begin! -
Photo TR - A Rainy Day in the Magic Kingdom
Midgetman82 replied to A.J.'s topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Very interesting TR. It's nice to see a park that doesn't ignore the rain by putting on a parade featuring it! That made me laugh! My family is into the "hit the big rides and leave" sort of thing. On a day like this, I can see tourists doing just that; which is probably why the wait time for that Backstage Mickey show was low. -

West Coast Bash 2011 Photo Updates!
Midgetman82 replied to Hhappy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This sounds like the world's best combination of a newly revised ride! Honestly! ERT+backwards Superman+Nighttime = one jealous TPR member! Edit: I also got the news what's going on around Batman... WOW, epic! -
Where in the World is Robb & Elissa???
Midgetman82 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^You don't come on here and immediately guess where Robb is unless they were to post a mysterious picture for you to guess where they might be. Go to page 1 and read from there. P.S., almost everybody knows where he currently is. -
West Coast Bash 2011 Photo Updates!
Midgetman82 replied to Hhappy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^That last picture raises so many questions! -
I'm sure they can remove the cable cars, then the cables, then replace the towers while recalibrating the cables, then put everything back. It does look difficult, but I'm sure they can do it; it's not impossible. I'm pretty sure we are staring to drive off course with this discussion about the Skyride and Cheetah Hunt's hump. The trains look more than cool and I can't wait until I try an intamin accelerator for the first time.

^Yep. Except when it comes to amusement parks, snowboarding, and traveling. Straight to the point, are you lazy?
-
^Yes; but I believe he was supposed to say "you didn't ask a yes or no question after you responded to another post not asking a yes or no question." Are you in school? If so, do you have a strict teacher?

What is your favorite Roller Coaster?
Midgetman82 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Favorite woodie is Terminator:Salvation (rode it when it had this name), and favorite steel is X2. Terminator from park index. X2 from Park Index.
