Favorite roller coaster?
Andrewoplis replied to Christopoll's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
El toro gets my vote as well. -
^ As much as I would like to see a well themed family thrill ride like Verbolten at SFDK, a SF park is one of the last places I could see one going into. Part of what seems to make Verbolten so great is that it got many things right, the location, the theming, the back story, etc. And Six Flags parks aren't to well know for things like that.

Most Intense B&M!

I'm going to have to go with Flight Deck a.k.a Topgun at CGA. It is a sort ride, but there are multiple spots where I start to grey out, especially in the back. -
So, SFOT JUST got a crazy new coaster and yet your already whining about how they should add another? I don't know about would, but I would kill to have a coaster like Ntag in California, the thing looks insane! But not only that, but you have Mr. Freeze, Titan, and Shockwave which are all very well received rides.

Hanno's picture of the day

Wow that picture of Saw is awesome, Hanno! -
The ride parks itself, so if the operator holds down the buttons from hear till eternity, the ride still parks all the same. In fact on Medusa the operator holds down the buttons until the combs (the floors) come up. I have seen Medusa overshoot many times though, sometimes it can happen if the tires are wet when it rains or if it's hot outside, etc. The cool thing is that B&M designed it (and i'm sure all their other rides) to be easily backed up by the operator and continue operation no problem. Thanks for clearing that up! It seemed to take them a while for them to actually get the ride going again though, I guess it just never happened to that ride crew before.

I just got back from the park today, and overall I had a good time. The only bad thing is that Superman was closed, I'm guessing it was because of stall, since it seems like the park wasn't doing much to the ride. I was able to get on to all the major coasters and flatrides and everything turned into walk on after 1:30! Something weird did happen though, I was in line for Medusa and a train was coming into the station, but instead of the train stopping where it usually does, it started to roll through the station! So when it stopped, row 8 was where row 7 should be, row 7 was where row 6 should be, etc.. I'm not sure what caused it, but I think it was cause by the ride op on the control panel spacing out and failing to take his hand of the dispatch button. But I'm not a expert when it comes to control panels so please don't start yelling at me if I sound stupid. But other than that, I had a lot of fun at park!
