Gardaland Discussion Thread
The_Mad_Hatter replied to Rockman89's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yum! The layout is way more complex than I expected. I'm hoping we'll see Busch pick it up and build one or two in the states pretty soon. -
Battle Star Galacta has two sides, one sit down non inverting "family" side, and a more intense side with loops and lots of forces. Albiet manufacturing problems, it works pretty well. I like the idea of a dueling woodie which could bring nice variety. Hopefully something like the Raven at Holiday World with a twisty dueling part in the middle. Good luck! ;D

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
The_Mad_Hatter replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nope... it's a "Giga Coaster" model. -
The million dollar question regarding an inverted woodie--would it be smoother than an SLC? If you are planning on building a woodie, I'd recommend a nice pre lift like Ghost Rider, low to the ground ejector hills and turns, and some surprising underground tunnels. The world needs more Gravity Group! ;D

Any Knott's Haunt and HHN USH advice?
The_Mad_Hatter replied to shepp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Would you recommend this Friday or Saturday? (Which would be less crowded?) -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
The_Mad_Hatter replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'd really either like to see a Gravity Group woodie in Demon Drop's former location, stretching toward the beach behind Disaster Transport, or an Intamin Ball Coaster (http://www.intaminworldwide.com/iag/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=47&Itemid=32) I hope CP goes for an Intamin Ball Coaster rather than a ZacSpin as I find it more unique and interesting layout wise (forward/backward launches) and I don't want Cedar Point to end up copying Magic Mountain like Six Flags copied TTD. Something unique will draw me to the park, and an Intamin Ball Coaster would be the first of its kind. -
Best Looking Park From A Distance
The_Mad_Hatter replied to RollerC's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Cedar Point without a doubt. The park is just perfect panorama's since it goes long wise across the peninsula, and has little depth. -
Ferrari World Discussion Thread
The_Mad_Hatter replied to Captain Jack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow! That's sexy. I love my Intamin Rocket Coasters... On the other hand, I'm really enjoying finding the "hidden arab" on the home page slideshow: http://www.ferrariworldabudhabi.com/ -
I have been waiting forever for this, and it DOES NOT disappoint. Glad the y went all out with Superman: Escape from Krypton, and the ZacSpin looks pretty sweet. I'm very excited to ride one of those. The park also released a new expansion video. Very impressive.! Cannot wait to go back this summer. Looks like Cedar Point has some work to do next year! 2011/2012 is THE YEAR for Southern California--now its almost time for Knott's to make their 2012 announcement.

Movie Park Germany Discussion Thread
The_Mad_Hatter replied to apollo210's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It definitely appears to be using the Spiderman system. Nice to see it being used more. -
Geauga Lake Discussion Thread
The_Mad_Hatter replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
/\Well... the comments were certainly interesting, especially "The Villan's"... -
Europa Park Discussion Thread
The_Mad_Hatter replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow. Even though I haven't been on many of their rides, however Mack has always intrigued me enough to become my favorite roller coaster designer. Very sad. -
!!!!!!!! The first four seconds of the fourth clip seems to have been leaked. click "Clip 2" and it shows the train entering a zero g roll. To the left, you can see a nice camelback hill. http://buschgardens2011.com/ here's a photo showing the airtime hill and the entrance into the zero g roll: The new clip seems to overlap with the first.

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
The_Mad_Hatter replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood: Love the short lines and being able to ride in dozens of times in a row!
