My first tornado siren
DOCTOR DOOM!!! replied to la2lvtom's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^,^^^^^ This is off topic but this kind of behavior from parks is completely inexcusable!!! This is exactly what I thought these @$$holes would try! If SOB doesn't exist, then WTF is that big 200+ ft wooden structure at the front of the park?! Are we all just imagining it?! BGW tried this with Drachen Fire, "Whats going on with Drachen Fire?!", "Whats a Drachen Fire?!" However they could pull it off a little cause it was out of view! At Kings Island, this WOULD work with the original Beast due to the fact one can't see most of it from the main pathway, but the problem there would be the Beast is too world famous! Even the general public who doesn't know any other rollercoaster knows about the Beast!!! -

Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

I rode the "magic seat" last Sunday around 4 or 5 and while Voyage was smooth at the beginning of the day, it got extremely rough! So I tried the very front row and it was extremely rough as well! Also this was in rainy weather! Every other woodie I rode in the rain got smoother in the rain! I've never had a dry day ride on Voyage (only rode Voyage on rainy days) but this was the first time I can say it was unbearably rough! -

i totally missed that chunk out of the train Sunday! I guess thats why Larry Bill and other Gravity Group employees were wandering around Voyage! -

Was at the park today and wildebeest was the only line. Voyage started off smooth but got really rough as the day went on. Also I met Larry Bill! Timberliners prepped for testing -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
DOCTOR DOOM!!! replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I think that this is a weird form of Gurilla advertising, i.e. CF or KD has someone get on the fansite and say INTIMIDATOR 305's BEEN TRIMMED!!!!!!!!!! Then someone contradicts this, then everyone is like, "i gotta check this out for myself!" bringing in peeps and money for the park! Also PR can pre-judge the reaction IF maintenance decides to trim the ride. i.e. ITS NOT THE SAME RIDE ANYMORE, I THINK ITS NAME SHOULD BE CHANGED!!! MAYBE TO TALL COASTER 305!!! Doctor " InTrimidator 305" Doom! -
Also speaking of my earlier post, I would have upgraded GASM before I touched Medusa. Its older and some consider it a Maybe put some of those new boomerang trains with the lapbar only restraints, paint, and add the special FX while you're at it. This is just an idea of mine on a better way to spend that money. http://www.rcdb.com/1093.htm?p=20128 http://www.rcdb.com/1093.htm?p=20129

^^, ^^^ I mostly was speaking for the Bizzaro coasters, cause their was nothing wrong with them. There IS nothing wrong with updating coasters, but or the effects on actual new coasters but, update coasters that NEED it, not the best ride in the WORLD that there is nothing wrong with. I do feel that there was better ways to spend the money, especially at SFNE. you've got a good point netdvn, I didn't look at it that way! Doctor "needs to stop over-exaggerating" Doom

I hope we've seen the end of ... "OOOH look at this brand new rollercoaster with fire and onboard audio!!!" Also when was Al Weber in charge of Paramount parks?! Was he responsible for that HUGE pile of crap sitting dormant at the front of KI?! I know it says somewhere in this thread when he took over but I can't recall it. If he was responsible for that HUGE pile of crap then maybe its best that he stay an interim CEO and not permanent CEO where he would be in a good position to start getting creative again!!!

Your favorite coaster tunnel
DOCTOR DOOM!!! replied to chavslayer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
FIXED!!! I would have to go with that same tunnel as i've never had the pleasure of riding Hades yet. Another one that stands out is River King Mine Train's last tunnel! Worst tunnel in the world has to be Adventure Express's "YOU WILL PAY!!!" lift hill to the station! Actually a wonderfully themed tunnel but, HOW CAN YOU BUILD UP ANTICIPATION ONLY TO END THE RIDE LIKE THAT??!!! -
Poll: Favorite Inversion?
DOCTOR DOOM!!! replied to timetrial3141592's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I went with batwing/boomerang cause I LOVE ARROW! Sometimes it's called a Kamikaze curve! -
I rode that one last year solo too. I never even saw a rule for no single rides. It was larger than the other writing on the sign out front, and red I think. However I don't remember it being enforced. I just remembered slingshot! I got a free ride on the one at SFKK before it was removed and the ops called someone from maintenance to ride with me!
