Astroworld's Batman now at SF Darien Lake
TheStig replied to Canobie Fan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Alright Im glad to see DL getting a coaster, even if it is ancient. And I think that at the moment B&M trains COULD work on this ride, but this is an Intamin/Giovanola coaster. It was pretty much a pre-Iron Wolf as B&M worked on this in one way or another, which also explains the Intamin trains on IW and the Giovanola supports. But hey, I'm glad that this is getting a 4th life as it's a pretty cool looking coaster, like the early B&M standups. Colin C -

I was 10 years old when MF opened and I had followed the construction pages at cedarpoint.com and eventually rode it that summer. I must say it's a lot of fun and and 10-year-old can easily master it. It's a great first coaster over the 200 foot mark for him I would say, considering the biggest coaster I rode before MF was Montu! So I would just say give it a try, and if he likes that, then he'll love TTD! Colin C -
Thats cool that you go to do that trip as I did the exact same one during Con this summer (well, I did PKI after). But yeah nice pics, it put my spiderman like powers to use trying to look at them! Glad you had fun! Colin C

StarFlyer takes riders for a twirl
TheStig replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Haha I just realized that this article is from the same paper that stated that montu goes backwards! Well alteast it SOUNDS like they god some info right! Well it's cool that there is one of these in America, and that it's fairly close to where I am. I might have to go there next time I got to IOA or something... Colin C -
I voted for SFGAm. I just though the park was beautiful and well theemed, plus the selection of coasters was another plus. I'd rank is equal with CP in my book... Colin C

Oh man I just started podcasting ITL just after christmas! Well that show was funny as hell, and sorry that Clint got fired...But hopefully the next verison of ITL will be just as good.. Colin C -
Man it feels good to know I live in a state with a bunch of media-idiots. Maybe they'll promote Scorpion as the most intense coaster ever built in the south east coast.... Colin"At least Sarasota has SOME common sence when it comes to the media"C

Humm for some reason I don't beleave it at all. Over the last few months they've been working on train #2 and I've seen new fiberglass bodies and whatnot go from laying on the ground under the track to being put on the rolling stock in the maitenence area. I attached a picture from my HOS visit back when the bodies were new but off the train itself. Colin"I dont think it's going anywhere"C

Okay the whole story can be found here = http://www.kpho.com/Global/story.asp?S=4337031&nav=23Ku. But anyways, for those of you who dont know I ran the WDW half marathon last year with my school and it was a BLAST!!! So sence I wont be going back to that school till next year because my current school sucks, I decided to go up and watch them run the half marathon, 5K, and one person ran the full marathon. But anywho, I saw this guy kinda collapse at the finish line and then try to get back up before he was helped across the finish. It's really sad because this race is a lot of fun and the people who run it are really cool and they were running in near freezing weather! Colin"13.1 miles is a LONG distance"C

Oh yeah? Well I hope your birthday sucks! Just kidding, have a good one man, goo to know you lived through the entire 70's... Colin"How come this many people didn't wish me a happy birthday?"C

IoA/Universal Refurb Schedule In March
TheStig replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^That's odd because DDRF went down last year for Re-Hab, although I went the week it re-opened and it looked like a brand new ride (like it should!). But Wes, let me know what day your going because if you want I could meet you up there. But besides that I really dont know what will be down around that time. Colin C -
Heres two, one of me and one of my left hand sizing up the castle at WDW. Enjoy... Colin C Yeah, it's bigger then DLR's... ENGLAND!!!!!

^ Homer, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Montu the god of the sky? Maybe I heard wrong... But yeah nice TR, it's my homepark so it make me happy when I hear good things from outsiders about it. Colin C -

^ Yeah thats pretty much what I have. Its great because it doesnt crunch up or slide all over the place and its a good alternative to a metal pad. I have the old style Red Octane Ignition pad which can be found http://www.redoctane.com/ignitionpadv3.html<- there. good stuff.. Colin C

Man, I wish I had a PS2! I have, well LOST, Ultramix 1 but hopefully am getting Ultramix 3 sometime soon. It sucks because I bought a hard dance mat for like $150 bucks and I cant use it! I know, we should have TPR DDR battles!!! Colin"Currently using Livingstons for my DDR fix"C
