Carowinds Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've never been a fan of arrow supports. They kind of look like a mess of steel. I like those Arrow "scaffolding" supports, it makes the traditional steel coasters look like... traditional wooden coasters. (Stupid analogy, right. ) To be honest, I feel like this is more of a mess of steel: -

I enjoyed Mantis more than Gatekeeper. Oh yeah, what a shocker! Though, I did enjoy Gatekeeper. -
What was your first Intamin Coaster
XYZ replied to grsupercity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
CGA's Woodstock Express. Which is also my first coaster ever. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I know when a park's coaster line-up is really good and when it is just decent. I really wanted to enjoy Diamondback and Banshee, but they ended up having a pretty bad case of the B&M rattle. Heck, I thought Diamondback was more rattly than SFMM's Scream. Beast is a nice wooden coaster, but nothing that great. Bat gave me a headache. Which is odd since SFMM's Ninja never gives me one. FOF is nice, but nothing that great. -

Well, these coasters would cost a lot more in 2014 due to inflation. -

What was your first B&M Coaster?
XYZ replied to thrillseeker4552's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
CGA's Vortex. Which is also my least favorite B&M. -

When I went on my trip to the Midwest to Holiday World, Kentucky Kingdom, Kings Island, Cedar Point, and Waldameer, EVERY ONE of these parks blew SFMM out of the water in terms of operations, park maintenance, and overall quality. Hell, Kentucky Kingdom wasn't even open for 3 months when I went and it's doing a much better job at actually operating the park than SFMM. Seriously, step it up, SFMM! I want it to be a great park like all of these Midwest parks.

I'll be more interested when a B&M gets scrapped. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Fun fact: There is no confirmation that the coaster is being removed from Cedar Point, it could very well be that floorless conversion that many are discussing about. -
[RCT2] PROJECT IV: Riverview Park (NCSO)
XYZ replied to XYZ's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
UPDATE THREE: 1987 - 1989 1987: Forest Green Plaza Expansion and River Cruiser pirate ship. 1989: Gold Country with three new rides: Desperado roller coaster, Gold Fever indoor bumper cars, and Wagon Wheel ferris wheel. -
It's a nice looking park. Though, there are some aesthetic aspects that could be improved on this park: -The buildings look very generic. -I don't understand the minimal amount of CS in this park, like the queue lines. The park would be nicer if it is entirely NCSO. -The park's layout is WAY too grid-like, make some curves and put some vegetation around it to look nice. The coasters look really nice and have good layouts, so keep it up the good work!

Photo TR - Magic Mountain for West Coast Bash
XYZ replied to KBrylczyk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Green Lantern is hell if you have a balanced car (which is what happens most of the time). I had only one flip when I went on GL and those turns really bashed my head as they feel that they were designed for much more flipping. -

I remember riding Vortex with nobody else on and it was such a nice ride. It's really too bad that it kills your ears when there's a full train. -

The poster of that video forgot about the difference between "to" and "too". Blasphemy! -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't think they really give a sh!t. A stupid awards ceremony isn't going to affect what they add to the park in the future. I think they cares. The huge banner at the resort entrance next to Magnum shows it. If no other award makes them the best amusement park in the world, they might lose some attention on their advertisements. GP love gimmicks and CP used gimmicks pretty well. I seriously doubt there will be any drop in attendance at Cedar Point due to Europa Park winning this year.
