Cedar Point Trip Help
TheStig replied to Coasterlicious's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ And also you will notice that the train in the station is dispatched after the train in fron of it clears the tippy top of the hill. That way they can get more people through and whatnot. Also try to get as many people as you can to put their hand up. It says "keep arms down" but that's so the drag isnt too high and a rollback occours. So in otherwords, get your school pals to put up their arms, and make sure you keep your head back!! I had the misfortune of leaning forward to itch my leg when the train launched and I got SMACKED into the back of the seat. I had to go to the first aid place and lay down for a half hour. It wasnt fun. Another thing, if TTD is closed and you see empty trains running, as fast as you possibly can head over there and the wait might not be more than 45 min. If your only going to ride it once, get front row. You get the cheek flapping effect! Lets see what else.....Oh if you feel scared, dont hold the lapbar. I think it makes your body feel smaller and you have the feeling of un safeness. Put your arms in fists (if you dont put them up) and hold them twards your chest. Dont grind your teeth, you will regret it later in the day (I couldent eat a hot dog my mouth hurt so much!) Well thats all the rambling Ive got in me today, so have fun and take lots of pictures!!!

TheStig replied to BarryH's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Elissa, As a matter of fact I joined ACE on monday! But I wont be in town as my school trip is untill the 20th and I think Im heading straight to the park and camp out at the gates instead of heading there at 4 a.m.. But then again, Ill do whatever it takes to try and ride one of the first few trains!! Colin"already suggested a 4 a.m. WC meet!"C -

^ Last time I was there (2 weeks ago) I saw 3 trains, one on a block before the station and the other two in the station. Im really excited about riding this and I think Ill head up the night before and camp out at the gates around 4 a.m. That is if they dont kick me out first! Colin C -
Cedar Point Trip Help
TheStig replied to Coasterlicious's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah I agree that you need to SPRINT to TTD. It's pretty far, and you have to avoid taking too long to get through the early entrance gates, but it is ALWAYS worth it. I would hit MF quickly afterwards as the lines shouldent get TOO long by then. The longest I've waited for Raptor and Mantis is about an hour and 45 minutes, but then again it was in the middle of july on a saturday. IMO, the lines are better during the week and they gett longer cloaser to the weekend. Good luck and have fun!!! Colin C -
The most rare coaster credits
TheStig replied to Stitch's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would say scorpion at BGT is rare because it had two "clones" that were semi enclosed but one set on fire and contorted the metal. They are both over in Europe aswell, but its other brother and it are the only two that still operate. Colin C -
Im guessing your arms would rip off and flap around on the ground like a couple of dead fish! But seriously, one of the reasons, besides drag, that CP wont let you put your arms up is the potentialy threat of your arms dislocating! And you can really feel it in your shoulders during the launch. TTD I think is intence as you get the need to bite down hard and clinch every muscle in your body at the end of the launch (well my first 2 times I did) and the cheek flapping effect! Colin C

Yeah but ive heard that Dondanopa hurts ALOT on the launch, kinda like getting hit in the stomach with an anvil.... Colin C

^ ^You dident feel anything on Montu? I find that hard to beleave. The loop and immlimen (sp?) are both intence and great, the barrell roll packs a punch, and the trims before the awsomley intense bat wing hardly tap the train now! The floater air time into the MCBR is fun, and the MCBR isnt THAT badly braked, the loop and the corkscrew barrell roll thingy is intence along with the helix into the entrance to the break run. Ive ridden montu 331 times and still think it packs a punch, considering that Kumba is in the same park and is more intence. As for sheikra, it just doesnt look right in the video that it would go that slow after seeing the track in person. The caresel turn above the smoke house looks a little slow, and the little trim coming out of the water section made me un happy, but the layout is still great IMO. I look forward to riding it and I pray to god that it will be more intence than Silver Bullet. Colin"sticking up for my montu!"C

Thankyou! Ive had NL for almost a year, but i got tired of it early sience all my coasters sucked and I had a crappy Comp.

Best Songs for Coaster Videos
TheStig replied to TheKid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
A really good techno song that came with my computer is "My Personal Moon" by Madison Park....Its more like a rave type song, but has some techno in it. Its about 4.5 min long but its a goodie.... Colin C -
Hey everybody! Just wondering, I want to get a video camera and wanted to know if anyone had one they would be willing to sell. I dont want to spend much more than 200 bucks on one thought. Even if you have suggestions on what camera to get that would help me. My 3.1mp VC kinda really sucks so i want to get a VC that will be able to take video that doesnt look like a chess board when played in full screen. Thanks you guys Colin C

How Old Are You & What Was Your 1st Coaster?
TheStig replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Im 14 and my first coaster ever was Space moutain in 1997, but my first BIG coaster was Gwazi in 2000. I dident start taking coasters seriously or even start riding them untill I was 10, so Ive only been doing this for about 5 years. Colin C -

Okay these are things i keep in mind while at IOA Check out Psyodeons Fury (sp?) its really cool and has a nice little water tunnel type device. Ride Hulk front row if your only staying for one day, its just a little better in front. Ride Spiderman. Truly amazing 3D ride. Ride Jurassac Park and Dudly Do Right's Ripsaw Falls. 2 of the best themed water rides I've ever been on (And dudly is part coaster ) Eat at Mythos and get a Cinnabon on the way out. Colin"thats all ive got for yas"C

What is your favorite Roller Coaster?
TheStig replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Here is a shot of montu after it broke down. We were on a tour so i got to wait around in the exit platform for a little while and i decided to take this. Notice how it looks as though it is being eaten by the sun twards the back of the train. Colin C
