California Great America (CGA) Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm really wondering what the height of the woodie will be. Some sources say it will be 103', previous permits said 111', and now 113'? Whatever height it will be, it probably will be the tallest coaster in the park. -
Best Compact Coasters
XYZ replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Compact Gerstlauer Spinners (e.g. Pandemonium, SFDK) are a lot of fun and have a very small footprint. I think almost everyone agrees that Iron Wolf is horrible... -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
XYZ replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This isn't a GP comment, but from other coaster enthusiasts on other websites: This is from a "coaster enthusiast forum" that really just has well informed GP as 90% of all the users, including the admin: About Diamondback: Moderator speaking: Admin speaking: This is why I love TPR this much and why I think that strict policies on this forum are good because these idiots would be everywhere on TPR. -
I hate how in SFDK, the air gates open and when it is open fully, they close. I had a few times where I couldn't go on a ride because the ride ops can't re-open the gates so they just start the ride with empty seats. In CGA and other Cedar Fair parks, the ride ops can control the air gates' movement so they can close it when everyone has boarded and can re-open if there is any problems.

Probably the facebook page thread would be better as TPR members aren't probably the posters there.

This is exactly what happens to me on Flying Eagles. The only problem about flyers is their low capacity and it usually has a 10 minute wait when there isn't many people in line. -
Busch Gardens Williamsburg (BGW BGE) Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
About that person who took a "legal" POV of Verbolten, I looked at his videos and he has been posting a lot of BGW videos. Though, on one of the videos I saw this: Now, I don't think he asked permission to use that. Anyways, from watching that POV, the dark ride portion didn't have as much theming that I thought it would be and it looks kind of cheap. -
Celebrities and Athletes you've met...
XYZ replied to SixFlagsTexas's topic in Random, Random, Random
Arnold Schwarzenegger - I saw him in Sacramento during the Christmas Lighting Festival in front of the Capitol. Buzz Aldrin - I shook his hand and he signed his biography on the USS Hornet; 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 Joe Montana - I shook his hand and got a photo during the opening of the Microsoft Store in Valley Fair It's funny that I "met" all these celebrities during events where they were the celebrity host. -

Kentucky Kingdom (SFKK, KK) Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think that they're in the same market, but they're not that big of a threat to eachother since it's such a large distance. I think it's like Sea World San Diego & Universal Hollywood. I'm not a local as I live 2000 miles away from KY, so I too want to hear what a local has to say. -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It seems that HUSS rides have really horrible reliability as the Top Spins up in Nor Cal have a lot of down time. Here we go again... -
Yes! Actually two: Superman (SFDK) & Lex Luthor (SFMM). Were you at West Coast Bash 2012?

I don't believe in ghosts at all and those various ghost hunting TV shows make me believe less in ghosts.

7/10. I now know what jzoole is, but I think JimmyZ would've been better.

PortAventura Discussion Thread
XYZ replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
All I have to say is wow! I usually don't say that about seeing a POV of a B&M Hyper (Leviathan included). Also, there is only 1 trim and the MCBR has no braking. I can see those air-time hills having floater-ejector air-time. This is starting to look like an Intamin hyper in terms of how quickly it goes through elements. A job well done B&M! Now I just hope B&M continues doing hypers like this. -

I found these on various Batman the Ride (SFMM) videos on youtube: Have you ever heard of paint? No comment needed.
