I think an Intamin Aquatrax would be the best replacement for Log Jammer, seriously. I think a quality water ride should be replaced by an even higher quality water ride (even though an Aquatrax is a coaster, you get my point). The aquatrax can easily be built into the terrain and I think an Intamin Giga would look horrible in Log Jammer's location as it would look out of place.

Where did the name Divertical come from, I understand Dive, but where does Vertical come from? -

What is with Abu Dhabi and white coasters? They're really irritating. I thought Japan was the only place in the world to have this. -

While iSpeed & Katun are dominant over this, I expect it to be a really good coaster. The second part is more like a Mack Water coaster. So, it's not going to be a top 10 in the Mitch Hawker Poll like iSpeed & Katun, though it will be a really good solid ride. -
Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread

A Dive Machine would be perfect for that area. It's tall, compact, & a big draw to the GP. Plus, $15 million is a bargain for such a large ride. -
California Great America (CGA) Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes! I totally agree. I always get upset with Vortex because it looks like a really nice coaster, though when riding it, it's the worst coaster in Northern California. Well, the restraints on Vortex aren't the originals. They used to be the U-shaped restraints, now they're the V-shaped restraints. Also, I think Vortex would look really nice if it was a red track with grey supports, like the Vortex in Carowinds. -
California Great America (CGA) Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, I really never enjoyed Vortex, though I think the original location is MUCH better. I don't know about getting your last rides on Vortex, it's like getting your last rides on Manhattan Express. Not something you really want to do. -
Yes. Does the world have too many people?

Dragon Khan looks so TINY. Shambhala seems to be one of the most impressive-looking B&Ms ever built. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

On Six Flags Over Georgia's website about Guest Survey: http://content.sixflags.com/news/overgeorgia/research/roller-coaster-survey?ic=I00249F79&gc=G00002877547C3C&utm_source=park-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SFOG&utm_content=2012-03-02 I couldn't find anywhere else to post this, so I thought this topic was the best place to put it. -
Age restrictions on rides?
XYZ replied to andre8's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think that if you are tall in enough to ride, you're fine. Also, 6 year-olds can understand safety better than teenagers. Also, it is the parent's decision to let the child ride, if they don't think that they should, they would not let them on. I have a 5-year old cousin who is 52" tall and I would never let him ride by himself on a ride. -
No. Do you add too many smilies to your posts?

The "GP" of Theme Parks Facebook Thread!

On SFDK's facebook page: Seriously, can this person see Superman being better than Pandemonium? -
At least there is some progress. It's weird that it seems Six Flags isn't very public with the Superman construction than the rest of the projects. It just seems they are being slow, even outside of construction. The website clearly needs to be updated by removing Pandemonium from the ride list & updating the park map.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg (BGW BGE) Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Great photo trip reports! The storyline is pretty good especially the stereotypical German name: "Gunter". The only problem with the coaster is I wish the track was a bit lighter in color as the current gray doesn't go well with the teal supports (which I really like). Also, the dark ride portion seems to be phenomenal. When you go inside the building, it seems larger inside than the outside.
