Parks that Don't Get Crowded
GwaziBSRider1 replied to coasternate's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Kennywood has been getting busier over the last few years. There are many days when it will get slammed. If you want a park that's always empty, go to Conneaut Lake. Of course...that place has got one foot in the grave as it is. -
Which RMC is your favorite? Poll
GwaziBSRider1 replied to SFSTLMO's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Outlaw Run hands down. I've been on NTAG and it's excellent, but the operations on it completely ruin it for me. -
Worst Coaster Experience
GwaziBSRider1 replied to airforcekid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've never had much trouble with Raptor, either. I always thought it was smoother than the Batman clones. -
How many times the same ride in a day ?
GwaziBSRider1 replied to mingsai's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I did 35 laps on Skyliner at Lakmont back in 2010. Probably about 30-40 on Leviathan during Leviathan bash. As a kid, I would ride Loch Ness Monster at least 20 times in a row. -
On-ride / Lift Hill Soundtrack
GwaziBSRider1 replied to Sharman19's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ That's awesome! I've ridden Apollo's Chariot many times, and I honestly don't remember hearing it. Even though it's not a coaster, I love the track played on Lex Luthor. -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
GwaziBSRider1 replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
X2 the other day at WCB. Smacked my head really hard against the seat on the last raven turn, and now I can barely turn my neck! -
Worst Coaster Experience
GwaziBSRider1 replied to airforcekid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I could go with some of the obvious ones here (i.e. Green Lantern, Son of Beast, Boomerangs, etc.), but I think the absolute worst was Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis. I was in the magic seat and it was still incredibly awful. The worst part was it was my #300, so I always have to remember the experience! -
Amusement Today Golden Ticket Awards 2014
GwaziBSRider1 replied to A.J.'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As much as I love Noah's Ark, it's in horrible shape right now. I honestly don't think it's received any maintenance since Parques Reunidos (or as I like to call them Park Ruiners) took over the place. I don't understand how it's the number one walk through anymore. Also, glad to see Idlewild is the number one kids park again. It's an excellent "starting ground" for kids! -

Had a very interesting experience at the park today. I was on Flashback and once the entire train was on the lift, it stopped. Of course, the GP starts freaking out instantly. They start to yell things like "Get us down!", "This is unsafe!" and (my personal favorite) "I'm gonna sue the f$@k out of you!" Maintenance arrived in a few minutes and solved the issue. When it was announced that the ride would be restarting, the GP freaked out yet again. They wanted to come down and walk off. Being the credit whore I am, I of course wanted to get it over with. The ride takes place with great intensity (I guess the brakes aren't used in maintenance mode). A guest relations rep was waiting at the exit and she got quite the earful from the GP. On couple yelled that the ride should be shut down. One particular guest (try to match his earlier quote) was NOT happy that the ride was restarted. He was so angry that he was threatening to fight the ride ops (I'm not sure how it went there). Security was called and he was escorted out of the park. It was one of the funniest GP over-reactions that I've ever seen and I knew that I had to share it with TPR.

I was at the park the past two days and it was indeed packed. The operations were horrible (no surprise) and a few of the employees were so terrible that I was forced to report them to a manager. Overall, the rides were great. NTaG earned a very respectable #7 in my top 10 steel coasters. However, I wouldn't fly all the way back here just to go to this park and I won't be back for quite some time.

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

As Apocalypse at SFA, I didn't think Iron Wolf was all that bad. I've always found Green Lantern and Vortex at Carowinds to be far worse. -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

I'm really looking forward to this ride regardless of the name. I hope it lives up to the expectations. Can't wait to go back to CW and ride it. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
GwaziBSRider1 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember Anaconda being pretty bad several years ago, but now it's pretty good. I noticed in 2011 that the MCBR was a lot stronger than it was in 2006.
