Coaster Types and Capacity
DougMJr replied to Solipsisto's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
From what I can tell it is due to ops moving at the fastest speeds they can. Don't they load two trains at a time also though? This is correct. Verbolten unloads/loads/dispatches two trains at once. The first train when dispatched doesn't stop and continues right into the launch into the event building, the second train waits at a block right outside the station until the first train clears its block. Other rides that dispatch two trains at once include Cheetah Hunt and Top Thrill Dragster just to name a couple. -

As a amateur photographer (Pentax K-x), I love those "happy accident" shots. I know that feeling. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
DougMJr replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My last trip to CP I rode Mantis around 8PM, and really really enjoyed it. My legs were sore from walking all day and the G force pulling the blood to my legs really helped afterwards. From what I could tell the trim was off and we barely slowed down at the MCBR. Maybe I just had a good run, but I found it enjoyable. -

Here is a crazy idea. Mag-lev drop tower. The car never touches the tower. -
Golden Ticket Awards 2012 Results
DougMJr replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't really put much stock into these rankings anymore. I mean, it may be beneficial for the GP, but I personally do not agree with some of the rankings. Specifically the absence of i305. Interesting to see Wild Eagle taking number 1 for 2012 additions. I haven't ridden it, but it had stiff competition. -
TPR's 2012 China Trip!
DougMJr replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If I rode the spinning/pirate ship/disk-o of death I would totally be drying skid-marked whitey-tighties on the clothes line the home owner has set up afterwards. I can't even believe that thing exists. Looks like a great trip so far! -

A Close Look at the Forgotten Intamin Standup

I don't really follow the price of steel, can anybody speculate why it hasn't been scrapped yet? -
I wish them the best of luck, I'm not thrilled with the butterfly house idea though. I've been to a conservatory in Niagara Falls and while it an educational experience, I hate how you can't help but step on the butterflys because they are absolutely everywhere. Even if your careful it is hard to avoid them. It is just hard to find that balance of family fun and casinos... Las Vegas has shown this time and again.

I'm not very familiar with the moon's typography. So when it was mentioned that snoopy was on the moon, I was able to see it. I quickly highlighted what I saw. I know it is just the actual moon, but it is kind of funny that you can make out a shape that does resemble snoopy. Original What I saw, because I'm crazy. -
