Excellent coaster. Better theming than on Nemmy. I'm gonna try this one soon.

Kingda Ka. The bigger the better. I don't mind OTSRs on rockets.

Two words: El Condor.

1. Long lines. Definitely. I never visit the parks in the summer holiday with a few exceptions to the rule. 2. Then unfriendly frustrated staff but this is very rare. 3. Closed attractions. Well, depends which one attractions .

queue blockers rude ride ops strict over-protective rules queue jumpers loud screams I don't mind queue smokers eating, drinking in the q-lines a group of 10 people singing a song

I like open source software such as VirtualDub.

This ride seems to be way better than both 2005 accelerators, Rita and Kanonen.

I have ridden several spinning car coasters. They don't make me sick at all. Spinning flat rides are much worse.

Is there any coaster you are afraid of? I used to be scared of new types of coaster in the past. The very first time on Nemesis and Oblivion was quite scary. Since I have done plenty of rides the only coasters I would ride with a high adrenaline rush are Intamin rockets but there is no way I could ever give up. I never left the q-line because of fear. I can ride anything no matter whether I'm scared or not, unless the construction is questionable. The only rides I try to avoid are spinning and merry go round rides because they make me sick.

The first one. It looks more modern. The second one would be my second choice.

I agree. Project Stealth is not as tall as KK or TTD. It should work fine without major problems. A rollback can happen though.

Expedition GeForce and Goliath.

Because its nothing new, however I'd like to ride it .

Several times but not more than 10 - 15 minutes.

Goliath, El Condor, Xpress - front Robin Hood, La Via Volta - back El Condor is rough. Xpress has a weak launch.

I doubt I will ever reach the count over 100 coasters. I keep visiting the same parks over and over again too many times.

Good find becuase when it comes to find typos I run for gold. Does it work with IE or other browsers too?

Airtime machines are the best for re-rides. I don't visit theme parks regulary (lack of time, money, different sort of things to do) but when I do I ride as many times as I can.

I'm a newbie. This forums seems to have some interesting topics though.

I didn't know it can go so far. I mean, I have never met with a negative comment about the fact that I like roller coasters. On the Internet I find a lot of things like this. I used to play pinball a lot and I am a member of a pinball enthusiast forum. Honestly they have discussed the same thing. The general public probably react the same way no mater if it is a coaster enhusiast, a linux enhusiast or a pinball enhusiast. I presume it is because of stereotypes.

I don't have any problem with that. I talk about coasters only when the coaster enthusiasts are around. In otherwise I change the topic to something else.

As for new parks, maybe Warner Bros Movie World Madrid and Universal Port Aventura. These will be completely new parks for me. Nothing for sure though.

I thought it would be interesting. I have ridden shed load of Vekoma loopers and corkscrew variations but they don't affect on me at all. The vertrical loop is too small and not funny either. Yet I have to ride a B&M looper and a floorless coaster to make my final judgement on inversions. Ejector air is something I never have enough. That's why EGF and Goliath (Walibi World) is on the top of my list. The first drop is usually not that intense appart from a few coasters such as EGF or Colossos (Heide Park). The launch is something I have discovered recently during my stay at Alton Towers. I rode Xpress at Walibi World before but Rita is definitely more powerful. Floaters are kinda strange. Silver Star is the only proper floater I have ridden. I choose ejector air.

Its a shame that new Intamin accelerators (and possibly mega/giga coasters) will have OTSRs instead of lap bars. I was hoping "Stealth" (Thorpe Park) to have lap bars but it ain't happen. Since there are no new Intamin mega coasters I presume these rides will use OTSRs as well. It looks like the lap bars will be very rare in the future. Personally I think that lap bars were way better. Its not something that I can hardly notice. OTSRs really affect airtime. If you are tall enough they become uncomfortable. This is why I recon that TTD is better than KK. Well, share your thoughts.
