Actually, I think an Intamin Giga similar to I305 makes sense rather than a B&M Hyper. It's more compact and it's taller. Greying out on the ride may not be as much of an issue in a "Thrill Park". A non-inverted accelerator makes sense as well. Put an inverted impulse in instead like Wicked Twister for an inverted ride. I'd cut out the Mack Launcher simply because the accelerator already gives you a launch as does the impulse coaster. They are different rides but have some similarity there. The ZacSpin they have planned makes sense as does the S&S 4D. Other rides would obviously have to include a drop tower. The S&S makes sense. A Starflyer/Windseeker works too. Also make sure to have some of those European "rides of death". KMG makes crazy rides like this. The SkyQuest ride they have looks pretty cool. They should obviously also have a SkySwing as well. Fun Spot has the tallest already, but make it a few feet taller and your golden. So here's my list then Intamin Giga Intamin Accelerator Intamin Inverted Impulse Intamin ZacSpin S&S 4D S&S Tower Starflyer/Windseeker A couple "rides of death" SkyQuest Sky Swing (Worlds Tallest) I think Elissa will like that list of coasters! There just happens to be lots of Intamin!

^ I'm not sure how I feel about this one. The dealings I've had with Rogers makes me feel like they are crooks. They have all kinds of money though, not that MLSE didn't have that in the first place.

Ocean Kingdom in China

There's like 1.3 billion people in China. They should have rides and parks like this. -
They definitely needed a stay at home guy and Hannan fits the bill. If he doesn't work out, he walks at the end of the season anyways.

AFTER BURNS' FUNERAL, HOCKEY ITEMS STOLEN FROM WIDOW'S CAR I honestly can't fathom how anyone could be so sick to do something like that.

^I'll give you a hand if you let me take one of the trains! I'll even settle for 2 or 3 cars and a trip to Nigeria! -
Child dies after train ride accident

I've heard of some screwed up things and people before, but this here takes that cake. Sick people. -
^Definitely looked like a goal, but the call on the ice was no goal, and I guess they felt there was insufficient evidence to overturn the call.

What are you thankful for...
beatle11 replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm Canadian, and thanksgiving was a month ago for me, but nonetheless, I'm thankful of course for TPR and Roller Coasters, especially B&M and the Behemoth!! -
^ "TWISTY!" in Japanese translates to 曲がりくねった which phonetically is "Magarikunetta". Translating that back into English, google comes up with the word "winding". You should totally yell WINDING on twisty coasters when you visit Japan next year!!

Mean Streak came to my mind right away. Son Of Beast is the other one that seems to be getting steam. Shivering Timbers from what I hear might be able to use that, although I'm not sure how it would work with the "trick track" section. The other one I might vouch for is the Predator at Darien Lake, although it's not nearly as large as the other 3 mentioned and has from what I've heard, has improved alot with the new trains. It was awful when I rode it though.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

^Yeah after all, a wooden coaster had a loop, why not a steel giga! The loop would have to be towards the end of the ride, unless you want like a 250 foot loop. That would be insane!! -

^In one of Robb's IAAPA videos, the rep from Maurer Rides mentioned there was a ride that he couldn't announce till April. Maybe it's an X-Car?
