^ If you didn't know already, the "magic" seat for Arrow and Vekoma loopers is the first row of the last car. -

^ I didn't realize Premier and B&M were interchangeable terms. But anyway, they both used to have a Schwarzkopf shuttle loop (even if SFDK's was in parking lot storage). Six Flags Magic Mountain and Universal Studios Japan -

This park is about the same size, if not larger than Cedar Point. If you're going for two days, I'm sure you could ride everything without a FastLane. I was there a few years ago during a slow day of the peak season and almost every queue was full. I would recommend checking out their website and make a plan of what rides you want to ride on which day(s). As well as the great coaster collection, they have a few unique flats like Night Mares, Orbiter, and Sledgehammer. From what I can remember, there were no single rider lines at all, but this may have changed since my visit. CW is an AMAZING park, and I'm sure you'll have an excellent time! -

Maybe an elevator would work. The train could stop at a point and go up/down with a story element. -

^ I could justify a visit just because of Kentucky Rumbler! I might have to add this park onto my Kentucky Kingdom/Holiday World trip for next year. -

Marineland is a nice park, but it's simply not worth the expensive price. It's fine if you get a discount ticket. Dragon Mountain is a great Arrow coaster that's incredibly unique. They've also got a nice collection of Huss rides. Oh, and there's marine life. -
I don't mind the soundtrack while going up the lift hill, but I couldn't stand it at the brake run. It was not pleasant to hear that loop of "Bizarro" while being stacked. The rest of it was simply lost; I couldn't hear it at all during the actual ride. Not that I was paying attention (or cared) anyway. I like the effects on the ride, but that soundtrack and these trains need to go.

^ Your avatar pretty much sums up that chain, too. My avatar is a picture of me (sans glasses) and some Mexican child (whose name I've long forgotten) on Selva del Raton at Parque Bicentenario in Mexico during the TPR Mexico Tour in 2013. The ride required adults to ride with a child, so instead of KT riding thirty times with all of us, a kind family let us borrow their children!

The "Pleasant/Unpleasant Surprise" Thread
GwaziBSRider1 replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Here's another pair. Pleasant: Revolution at SFMM - I was expecting one of the most painful experiences in my life, but I didn't get hurt at all. Even though it doesn't need to be said, it would be much better without the trims and OSTRs. Unpleasant: Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster - I heard a bit of hype for it, and the setting is pretty beautiful. BUT for $13/ride, it leaves a lot to be desired. I was not pleased to see trims. It really destroyed the experience that you get from an alpine coaster. I wouldn't ride it again. -

Embarrassed of parks...
GwaziBSRider1 replied to outbackjack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm definitely not embarrassed to be a coaster enthusiast. It's what defines me. I've never gotten any crap about being a coaster enthusiast in all of the 21 years I've been one. Personally, I don't understand how it is an embarrassing hobby. -
True. Many of them, actually. The person below me has been on all of the North American Giga coasters (excluding Fury, obviously).

Which rides have given you greyouts?
GwaziBSRider1 replied to rcjp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've actually greyed out on many coasters over the years, Scorpion at BGT being the first. Others include I-305, Millennium Force (first drop into first overbanked turn), GateKeeper (at the top of the Immelman), Backlot Stunt Coasters (first helix), Verbolten (inside of building), Goliath and Titan (helix), and others that I can't think of at the moment. -
