The BEST roller coaster view EVER???
Kilosandwich replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm just posting this so i can win, but i think it is a trick question. the bst view of a roller coaster is the one that you are riding, the excitement that builds up before the first drop, and then the wind rushing through your hair. nothing can compare to that experience though a photo may try. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Kilosandwich replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Follow up question: when i was at Michigan's adventure two months ago i noticed large piles of timber on site and a large amount of construction equipment in the back of the park as well as small ponds of water. i think that these are probably maintenance equipment and fire pools but are they something else? -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Kilosandwich replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I feel that this is worth disaster transports removal. but how will Cedar Point make up the difference in the coaster count with Six Flags Magic Mountain? are they giving up on the competition or do they have something else up their sleeve? Do you think Meanstreak would be fully retracked? -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Kilosandwich replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
To paraphrase Einstein: "Two things in the universe are infinite, the universe and human stupidity . . ..the removal of the Wildcat is the latter." I'm happy i rode it last year, as it was its last . .. it will be missed .. . . -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Kilosandwich replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I didnt expect Cedar point to drop down to this level. Sure, you make more money, but it was the mutual comradery that everyone had to wait in the same line as you that made Cedar Fair park more family friendly. When some smug person passes in front of you with a smug look on his face just because he could afford to pay the few extra bucks, it drives me crazy! And they put the fast lane on Mean Streak!? its a terrible coaster but i love riding it because no one rides it.the good news is that it wont have that big of an affect on Magnum. -
Quick question about darien lake, as i am most likely going to visit it this year. According to many critics, Predator has been described as painful. However the POV looks quite good, it has been compared to Gwazi ,Ghostrider and Meanstreak. But i like Ghostrider and Meanstreak. so which is it, a Ghostrider(painful and fun) or a Gwazi ? (painful)

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
Kilosandwich replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

Deep South Bash 2011 Official Update!
Kilosandwich replied to Hhappy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Grr so angry my mokm was there a week before you guys! and we were at SFNE a day before you and in california a week before you, at cedar point the day after you grrrr -
In most areas there are plenty of theme parks! for instance buffalo supports 3! (Darien lake, Marine Land, Martin' fantasy island) and its population is lower than Detroit's and buffalo's economy crashed in the 1970's yet it still has a constant flow to its parks. however Detroit used to support 3 as well (walled lake park, Edgewater park, Bob-lo Island) yet it now suppports none even when its economy has down turned please explain how this is possible even though Detroit supports a larger population. follow up question: Does a parks placement on the map effect its chances of getting a new ride? even when its in a conglomerate? please respond specifically to Michigan's adventure's case
