SoCalCoasters

A surprising development for sure, but I'm positive we'll see some new ride types sooner or later.

I rode Viper once...first car, second row...I needed advil afterward my ride on it was extremely painful.

I just read through this whole thing could not stop laughing. I understand that people want to save it but come on! It's been rotting in a field for years and these people just assume that the wood will "magically" be completely fine. I can just see this happening: Person 1: Hey hand me a wrench so I can unscrew this vital looking bolt that seems to be keeping the structure I'm standing on from falling. Person 2: Oh sure it's not like this is dangerous or anything. I mean it's a roller coaster...even though we know nothing about how to take on down, it should be easy and completely safe! Breaking News: Several People Were Severely Injured While Attempting To Dismantle A Rotting Pile Of Wood Called The Big Dipper Yeah I could see this happening

I saw that thing at Knott's Scary Farm on Friday and was wondering what it was...thats interesting.

With the opening less than a month away...how come there have been no signs of a true Formula Rossa test run? I don't think they would test it at night due to noise... Has anyone even see signs that it has actually been tested (besides the pull through)? Just Curious

Amazing...this appears to be GCI's ultimate creation.

When Psyclone was around it was my least favorite roller coaster...but now I'll have to say...Screamin' Demon at Castle Park...its not rough, but it was the stupidest and most boring coaster I've ever been on...I enjoyed VORTEX more!

I'm heading HHN at Knotts for the first time this Friday, October 1st, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about Haunted Houses, what rides to do and what not to do, and what the best "The Hanging" Showtime is I would be happy. Thanks! PS No matter what I will be doing Silver Bullet, since it's the only credit I'm missing...how long would the line be on a HHN Friday Night?

I LOVE that woodie and the time coaster....hmm why does that sound like something I've heard before....oh I know.. Timeforce, my time trave themed coaster for Carlsbad Gardens! Inspired Perhaps?

When I was there back in 06, I rode it three times in different seats and loved it...in fact for a long while it was #10 on my top 10. Has anything changed since 2006? All I've ever heard about this ride was "tear it down" or "this thing is horrible" yet I though it was decent...could just be me though...

One thing Vekoma has hit the mark with is kiddie coasters, no one can deny that.

Flyers, rode my first one this afternoon at Castle Park. Falling Star, rode my first one this afternoon at Castle Park Are S&S Space Shots considered flats? If so I woud add that to the list.

The launch does look better with the waves:

The reason the water is so gross is that the waves are not moving the water around anymore, thus, we have a stagnant puddle of gasoline water. I do hope they bring back the wave effect, Cali Screamin' launched looked MUCH better with the waves. Now those rocks look out of place just sitting there...

Let the speculating of the roller coaster types begin

Awwwwww...no Vekoma Enigma?

Is it just me, or does that look quite similar to X:/No Way Out at Thorpe Park? ^

Here is my entry called: Fake Out: Backwards The car travels up the lift and appears to be leaving the building as long as the person answers one question correctly. He does not. The car travels backwards through the buiding, (breaked due to glitch) and stops at a chain lift. The person is given one more chance to answer the question. He does not answer correctly again. The Eurofighter Car (DazMatze) goes up the lift around the turn where a voice says goodbye...the car drops straight down, around a turn and into a half build barrel roll. The car flies off the track into barrels of explosives...or if he survives the crash, it crashes into barrels. Here are the un-themed pics: Shot0028.bmp Car appearing to leave building. Shot0029.bmp Through the building. Shot0030.bmp Barrel Roll Shot0031.bmp At this point, the person is given one last chance to answer the question. Shot0032.bmp When the person answers wrong again, the car goes up the hill around the turn (voice says goodbye). Shot0033.bmp Drop to doom. Shot0034.bmp The unfinished barrel roll. Shot0035.bmp Hope you like it...If it gets chosen, I can either post a tutorial or download

I laughed at how bad that teaser was too... But they did drop another hint at the very end of the video... The final picture appears to "drop" into the center of the screen. I think it is safe to say the new ride will be a drop tower...that's just my take though

Could it be a Windseeker for2011?

The new theming really helps the rides!

Hmmm an interesting article I found In a local paper...looks real...

Here are some suggestions for the park: Add some theming to the mine train, the log ride and the wild mouse especially. For the areas that are un used, save a small plot of trees in the scenery designer and then build them until you park has shrubs over the non used areas (nicer looking). Hope this helped! Good Luck with the park!
