Rides that Sometimes Run Differently
Manic Monte replied to coasternate's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
El Toro. My first early morning ride, and I wondered what all the hype was about. Airtime was fine, but it lacked that power that I felt later in the day. -
We have one in Vegas called The Victim Experience and a friend of mine did it and will never do it again. It's very theatrical, as they literally create the experience of being trapped in a torture porn film, including having people run for their cars and speed away to escape. My friend described it as both horrible and offensive and yet breathtaking. Believe it or not, it was haunt fans who asked for something more extreme, and the demand is there for it.

The "Oh Sh*^" moments vs. a good ride
Manic Monte replied to Skramp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Skyrush for me as well. I've only been on two rides where I felt like I might have gotten myself into more than I could handle. Skyrush and X2 (or X at the time). -
Arrows, Arrows, Arrows.....

And don't forget Canyon Blaster at Circus Circus, although lately it's been showing its age. My favorite Arrows ever were the Turn Of The Century twins at the Great Americas, which were coverted to the Demons.
