[What was your first B&M Coaster?]

Either Mantis or Raptor at CP...since I can't remember which I rode first I'll go with Raptor since it's a better ride

[What's your favorite Robb Alvey line from a TPR video?]

From the Japanese Airtime Log Flume: "Dude, if that ferris wheel fell over on us right now, that would be bad, wouldn't it?"

 

Also, as everyone else has said, the Manhattan Express video is pure gold.

[Top 3 Roller Coasters From Your Birth Year]

Dateline: 1989

 

1. Magnum XL-200 (actually opened the day I was born)

2. Hercules at Dorney Park (also the day I was born)

3. Goudurix

[Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread]

I actually went to Chickie's and Pete's on opening day last season, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Way better than most of the food at CP. I'll stick to there, Famous Dave's, and Johnny Rockets. Oh, and Auntie Anne's pretzels

[TPR New Front Page In Development!]

I voted for option 2, but either would be an improvement over the current. I thought the twitter feed made the page more cluttered, and I like having a big central image to draw people in.

[The Official TPR Video Thread!]

Of course it's a pink train, it's in Japan

 

Why is this ride a) at Fuji-Q, and b) so freaking far away?!

[Today's Burning Question - Loops or Hills?]

No question, hills

[Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread]

 

Voyage was a fairly early wooden coaster for me when I rode it in 2010, and while I'd already ridden a number of smooth woodies, I didn't find it to be that much rougher than some others that people don't usually complain about. Plenty of woodies have knocked me around or left me with a headache, so Voyage didn't stand out too much for that.

 

This. I rode Voyage in 2010 as well, and I didn't find it that rough at all. It wasn't a ride I could marathon, but that was mainly due to how completely insane the ride is. Of course, this coming from a guy whose home park is Kings Island, not exactly known for smooth woodies, so take that with a grain of salt. I actually thought Raven and especially Legend were much worse (I may have just caught them on a bad day).

 

I'll be the last person to complain if Voyage gets the RMC treatment though.

[What is your local park?]

I'm about 1:45 from Kings Island and 2:45 from Cedar Point. I grew up less than an hour from KI, so it's my "home park".

[Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread]

And to all the naysayers that will be coming out of the woodwork in the next few months, this is all I have to say.

 

Son of Beast is gone, and a new B&M invert is in. It's a win for everyone except Ohio chiropractors.

[Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread]

Anyone get the height?

 

Didn't get the height, but they mentioned the total elevation change is 208 feet since it goes down into the valley. Probably about 170-180 foot lift.

 

I'm so damn excited. It's a beautiful looking ride, and I hope it rides half as good as it looks

[Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread]

Restraints look like the same ones as on wing coasters. No headbanging!

[B&M Wing Rider Coasters - Love or Hate?]

I've been on Wild Eagle and GateKeeper and enjoyed them both. I liked GateKeeper more because I felt the layout was more interesting.

 

Wing riders are just FUN. And there's nothing wrong with that. Not every ride needs to be balls-out insane. Like _koppen mentioned, they're 2 different types of thrill. Variety is the spice of life, my friends.

[Have you ever been on a coaster in the rain?]

Rode Millennium Force in the rain this past weekend. It was only a drizzle, but going that fast, all the drops felt like little needles hitting your face. That might have been the best ride I've ever had on it

[NEW TPR Video Every Day in April!]

This video described in one sentence: 'Judge me by my size, do you?' Even the trains are tiny...still looks as awesome as any Intamin. Not all coasters need to be 400+ feet tall and go 150 mph to be awesome *cough CEDARPOINTFANSONFACEBOOK cough*

[NEW TPR Video Every Day in April!]

I can feel the blood pooling in my head just watching that. It at least looks "smoother" than the Screamin' Squirrel in China...

[NEW TPR Video Every Day in April!]

Oh dear God. That might be the most evil looking ride ever. I got sick just watching the POV. Hopefully no one had a "protein spill"...
