Mini Photo TR: Parking Lot Fairground
viking86 replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That is an Eyerly Rock-o-Plane. I rode one of those 1 1/2 years ago. Its really uncomfortable for your neck and back, but its awesome at the same time. It produces some serious hangtime aswell as good positive G-forces. -

PhotoTR: Castles n' Coasters!
viking86 replied to Twister II's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Interesting ride. That second loop is really messed up! Thanks for the video! -
TGE! - Getting more then just the SLC!
viking86 replied to Canobie Fan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Probably because the SLC looks more impressive to the GP and its the ride that will bring most people to the park. But yeah, the SK loopers are much better rides so hopefully they will find a new home soon. -

Im guessing that he accidentally clicked the "Submit" button twice, which is a very easy mistake to do. And now they are spread apart because people have only replied to this one -

I ride kiddie coasters if Im at a park with other rollercoaster enthusiasts. If I go to a park with people that doesnt care about coaster count and stuff like that I skip the smallest ones.

NOLIMITS or Scream Machiens
viking86 replied to Goliathdude's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
In my opinion No Limits is a better game, but why dont you just download the demos and see which one you like best? http://www.nolimitscoaster.de/ http://www.wounded-heart.com/ -
My Projects!
viking86 replied to W1ckeD's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Youre insane!! And yes, I mean it! Not only do you have the patience to spend hours and hours placing the objects, but the quality of your work is some of the best Ive ever seen in RCT3. Im really excited to see more pictures of your work -
Wheel seats are the seats that are located directly above the wheels. Most coasters will usually give a smoother ride if you sit in a seat thats not directly above the wheels. On Magnum the 'wheel seats' are row 1 and 3 as you can see in this picture http://www.coastergallery.com/CP/33.html

Colossus @ Thorpe park. Its vibrating like crazy, hitting the restraints with your head hurts like hell because they are so freakin hard, the layout is not very interesting and the ride sounds like a car-crash. Zamperla Volare coasters are horrible. I rode the one at Prater park this summer and it really threw me around. And I was in an inside-seat (well there isnt really any 'seats' on that ride) The 2 RCCA woodies I rode in Spain, Wild Wild West (now Coaster Express) and Magnus Colossus, were also awful. Both rides were really boring, had absolutely no airtime at all and MC was also quite rough.

Well, the stand-ups seems to be an exception, but apart from those I havent heard about any painfull B&M's. -
2 odd coasters in Thailand....
viking86 replied to Canobie Fan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those seats looks really comfortable... with the exception of the one with the ripped headrest http://rcdb.com/ig2961.htm?picture=2 -
PortAventura Discussion Thread
viking86 replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I thought Colossus was quite bad when I rode it this summer. I was planning to ride with my arms up, but there was a nice 'bang' entering the turn after the lifthill so I decided to hold on instead. Im very glad I did that because it was rattling like crazy. And hitting the very hard restraints with your ears is not comfortable. -
Mirabilandia Discussion Thread
viking86 replied to momo1tx's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have heard that its only being stored at Mirabilandia and that it will head back to travelling fairs next year. I think that sounds more realistic as the ride has been placed in a field outside the park. I would also expect Mirabilandia to get something newer and bigger considering the size of the park. -

Best coaster ride when raining
viking86 replied to verticalzero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My first ride on Thundercoaster was right after one hell of a shower and it was amazing. It was my first coaster however, so Im not sure how a ride like that would feel now. -
