The most rare coaster credits

I agree with robb, its not that hard to get on one, and the 4 that are still around have been around for years and years. If you are going to think like that, then I can think of at lest 5 types of coasters right now that are rare if not extinct. -

Wait about katapult at Mirabilandia? That only lasted a year. Actully, most Schwarzkopf katapults would fall into this category. -

This inst a coaster, but didn't The Edge at Six Flags Great America (Mostly Marriott at the time) only last 3 sessions? This could be a rare Flat ride credit. -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
Andrewoplis replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I hear that a lot to! Some people thought that the resin that V2 has a maximum height limit is because you would get your feet cut off by the supports. They were kind of close. I have a few from SFDK today- Kid in line for roar "Does this ride go upside down mommy?" Mom "I don't know" Turns to ride op " Does this ride go upside down?" Ride op "No" Kid "Are you sure?" Mom "Honey, its just a roller coaster it doesn't do loop de loops!" WTF? 1. The ride is in front of you, and if you are still unsure of what it will do, ask BEFORE you ride. 2. There are roller coasters that do inversions all over that park! So why do you think that roller coasters won't go upside down? #.For that last time, inversions are NOT called loop de loops! In line for Sky Screamer- Lady, "Wow, this ride goes 50ft!" The funnest thing about this is that she seemed very impressed! This on isn't that GP ish but I thought it was funny(But VERY nerdy). My friend, knowing im a big theme park/coaster nerd asked me in line for Medusa- "So, who made this ride" Me "B&M" "What does that stand for?" Me "Bolliger & Mabillard" "Bollagar & Malendia?" Me "No, Bolliger & Mabillard" This kept going on for like 2 minutes intil I texted the name on my phone and he finally got it, he forgot the D in Mabillard though. -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

On a Youtube comment of Scream at SFMM: "This is the exact same ride as Medusa at Six Flag Discovery Kingdom" Here are a few things I here at parks a lot from the GP: "Wow, (Name any really awesome non-inverting coaster here) sucked! It didn't have any loops!" "(Name any really bad inverting coaster here) was awesome! I love the loops!!" "OMG! That coaster goes upside down with NO shoulder restraints!! How unsafe!" (They really don't seem to care when a flat ride goes upside down with lap bars, only roller coasters) They also like to put THE before every ride name "THE Medusa was so awesome!" "I don't like going on wooden coasters! They are all so rickety and old and are going to fall apart!" "Did you know that (Random roller coaster here) (Any incorrect and stupid fact here)" "Did you know some on died on that ride?" or "I think this ride is closed because some one died on it" They also have this idea that you HAVE to ride with some next to you on a ride, or else its not fun or its scarier. On TTD, some people thought I was really brave for going on that ride in the back by my self. -

This might sound stupid to you but what does DDD stand for? -
Looking good! Im sad to see this come to an end! But were is that whole,"Green Lantern Wooden coaster" coming from? I could see a new GCI there, but I really don't think it will be Green Lantern themed. BTW, is Scooby Doo still there? I haven't seen it in an up date in ages! Also, why hasn't V2 been painted red and purple like the two other V2's?

Best B&M Standup
Andrewoplis replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Riddler's Revenge. Ive been on 2 others, Mantis and Vortex at CGA. Vortex was just a lot of head banging and Mantis put a lot a pressure into my right leg for some resion. Riddler's Revenge is long, smooth,force full(With out putting pressure into my leg), and the line is always short every time I visit! -
