^ While I wouldn't call it the dumbest thing (since the OP was obviously being facetious), it was still a good laugh! Thanks for bringing this thread back from the dead!

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
GwaziBSRider1 replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mountain Coaster at Wisp Resort in McHenry, MD (Alpine coaster) on 11/16. It's easily the best alpine coaster I've ridden so far. -
^ I found TTD to be more intense than KK. I remember the first time I rode TTD, and thought "this must be what warp speed feels like." I've never ridden a coaster that was too intense for me to reride at all, but one of the most intense was certainly Montana Infinitum at La Feria in Mexico City. That thing was INSANE, but it was incredibly awesome. It really makes me want to go out to Edmonton and ride Mindbender!

Worst Ride Name

^ I wouldn't call Woodstock Express a terrible name. I thought it was a nice name until Cedar Fair overused it. -
The B&M Rattle Directory
GwaziBSRider1 replied to GwaziBSRider1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ Leviathan, Oblivion, SheiKra, and Great White all had larger data pools. The others were indeed smaller, but large enough to be included. Newer doesn't necessarily mean an automatic non-rattle. Look at Hair Raiser. From how many reports I had of rattling, I was surprised it was less than 100%. -
Best B&M and Best Intamin
GwaziBSRider1 replied to grsupercity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Intamin: Tie between Millennium Force and El Toro. Both awesome, awesome coasters. B&M: Leviathan. As said before, it's the B&M Millennium Force. -
The B&M Rattle Directory

Many of the results were quite surprising. I was most surprised by Raptor, personally. I've ridden it numerous times, and I've never felt one rattle. -
Game: When was the last time you...
GwaziBSRider1 replied to onewheeled999's topic in Random, Random, Random
Last Friday to drop off my friend for his flight. (Next time will be tomorrow when I interview for GlobalEntry) When was the last time you were at an airport and didn't get on/off a plane? -

I personally thought MF and Leviathan are on par with each other (hence, they are tied for my #1 steel). This is going to be a great ride, and I hope they do a media event like GateKeeper and Banshee. Can't wait to ride this next year! -

False. Closest is America at 3 hours. The closest worth visiting is GAdv at 6 hours. The person below me makes most of their park trips solo.

Game: Careful What You Wish For
GwaziBSRider1 replied to MayTheGForceBeWithYou's topic in Random, Random, Random
Granted, but they're all terrible. I wish the parks I want to visit next year were more conveniently located. -
its closure so there would be less competition for Kings Island. Lightning Run went to MiA, T3 went to Valleyfair, and Roller Skater went to Dorney. Thunder Run ended up going to...

Guess this Coaster! (By the Layout)
GwaziBSRider1 replied to tarheel1231's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
After staring at it a while, it looks a lot like Disaster Transport, but I'm not 100% sure. -
The B&M Rattle Directory

FINAL RESULTS! Because of various reasons, I can't go into a lot of detail with the numbers. However, my figures look reasonable. Of course, they aren't guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Also, my results don't imply severity of the rattle/vibration, just how often one was reported. Twelve coasters were omitted because there wasn't enough data. Consistently Reported: 100% None Frequently Reported: 80-99% Hair Raiser - 92% Commonly Reported: 60-79% Flug der Damonen - 75% OzIris - 73% Vortex (CGA) - 73% Superman la Atraccion de Acero - 63% Somewhat Reported: 40-59% Scream! - 59% Incredible Hulk - 58% Apocalypse - 57% Banshee - 57% Parrot Coaster - 57% Hydra - 53% Green Lantern - 50% Katun - 50% Diamondback - 48% Superman Krypton Coaster - 45% Vortex (Carowinds) - 45% Nitro (SFGAdv) - 45% Dragon Khan - 42% Batman - the Dark Knight - 40% Bizarro - 40% GateKeeper - 40% Kumba - 40% Uncommonly Reported: 20-39% Batman the Ride (SFOT) - 38% Swarm - 38% Dominator - 37% Raging Bull - 37% Goliath (SFFT) - 36% Riddler's Revenge - 36% Alpengeist - 36% Kraken - 35% Raptor (CP) - 34% Wildfire - 29% Goliath (SFOG) - 27% Shambhala - 27% Nemesis - 27% Superman Ultimate Flight (SFGAm) - 27% X-Flight - 27% Superman Ultimate Flight (SFGAdv) - 26% Black Mamba - 25% Daemonen - 25% Afterburn - 23% Behemoth - 23% Silver Star - 22% Dive Coaster - 20% Diving Coaster - 20% Goliath (La Ronde) - 20% Nemesis Inferno - 20% Wild Eagle - 20% Rarely Reported: 1-19% Batman the Ride (SFGAdv) - 19% Air - 18% Medusa - 18% Dragon Challenge - 18% Batman the Ride (SFOG) - 17% Griffon - 17% Patriot - 17% Manta - 15% Talon - 15% Batman the Ride (SFStL) - 14% Vampire - 14% Montu - 14% Batman the Ride (SFMM) - 11% Flight Deck - 11% Georgia Scorcher - 11% Superman Ultimate Flight (SFOG) - 11% Silver Bullet - 11% Batman the Ride (SFGAm) - 9% Intimidator - 7% Apollo's Chariot - 6% Great Bear - 6% Tatsu - 6% Never Reported: 0% Batman la Fuga Great White Krake Leviathan Monster Oblivion SheiKra My Conclusion: Although I cannot fully prove or disprove that this phenomena is linked to B&M, I can say that my data shows evidence to support that it doesn't. -

^ Do you not read things before you respond? They are MOVING a ride, not getting another one! Not trying to be rude (or backseat moderate), but please read (and preferably think) before you post! Thank you.
