Best B&M Standup
Someotherguyuser replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've been on Vortex, Mantis, and Riddler's Revenge, Riddler's is the best! Insane drop, large loop, crazy inversions, height, long ride...it's got it all. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

No, this is actually someone I know very well. Even though my relationship to this person will remain confidential, I will say that wasn't Dick Kenzil. (Sorry if I misspelled his last name). -

**When talking with someone I know about the rumored Stark Expo going into DL** Me: ...I heard they were planning on putting the Iron Man/Stark Expo attraction where Innoventions was, but they put it on the back burner due to concerns of crowds. I mean, with the new Star Tours, you could only imagine what it would be like... GP: Why not put it in Frontierland? There's room over there. Me: But that would be wildly out of theme. How would you like to walk through an old west trail and find a futuristic expo there? GP: So? -________- -
Theme Park Research!

Just took the survey. I'm quite interested in seeing the results. -

I don't believe he has, but a guy like that deserves to be introduced to Vekoma. -
I am a bit surprised they are going on with the reboot during the the peak season. Wouldn't it make more sense to do it during the fall and into the late winter/spring and then have it open in time for Summer? I know that Epcot has several other attractions throughout the park, but this probably won't bode well with the majority of the general pubic who will be coming in from out-of-state as TT is a very popular attraction. Whatever the case, I'm glad to see the ride get a big update.

To Flat or Not To Flat?
Someotherguyuser replied to The49er's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I don't know. I haven't really been to Great America. My all-time favorite flat tide would have to be MaXair at Ceder Point. -
The latter for me. Um, what?? Here's my own experience of the GP on Facebook. This is from the HHN Hollywood fan page: *Facepalm* 1) It's just a name. Of course you can't fir 1000 corpses in there. There's not enough space and Universal--not to mention the hefty criminal investigation for harboring all of those bodies. 2) It's not coming back for a third year. -____-

This is what really bothers me. They could've very easily taken out Disaster, the San Francisco bay and a backstage building or two behind the ride and the new Potter area would've fit just fine. It just frustrates me that this whole removal of JAWS just seems unnecessary. Like you said, JAWS had staying power. Even if the movie is "outdated", JAWS still has a name for himself several years after the film and could've still drawn a crowd with just several months or a year of a complete rehab. If they had done that, the ride would have been better than it ever was. Well, at least we have it in Hollywood--but it's "old and stupid". Maybe someday they can completely revive the one on the Studio Tour; that probably won't happen either since we're getting more Potter over here.

Isn't there already a thread on this, or am I wrong on that? With Transformers coming into the picture, I heard that the projected success from that ride is going to really increase the budget for HHN. If the ride does earn Uni enough money, they may be able to rent a sound stage for the event. But these are just rumors I've been hearing so it's more of a wait and see situation. Whatever happens, I hope they move the Terror Tram to a new location and improve the scarezones...dramatically. I would say that the HoH overlays need help, but I think they should just leave it the way it is for HHN and stop trying to make it what it's not.

Favorite Water Ride
Someotherguyuser replied to SFMM rocks my socks's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My favorite water ride would be Jurassic Park at USH. It's a great adventure with lots of great scenery, effects, and an awesome drop. -
My favorite part of a roller coaster would be airtime...something my deprived state doesn't have. Thankfully, I've gotten to experience other coasters with airtime like Millenium Force at Ceder Point. Help us Manta...you're our only hope... Other than that, my favorite part about a coaster is the speed.

What is my favorite themed ride? For me that will be the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman. Even though I've been on the amazing Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride, I still prefer Spiderman over Potter for its smooth transitions, smooth story telling, realistic illusions, and fantastic mix of 3D and live effects. It's spinning movements provide even more fun for the ride. It will be even better after the digital film upgrades for the ride. Harry Potter would be my second favorite themed ride. Though its transitions are a bit rough and the settings are difficult to tell where I am, I do like the fact that its a more thrilling dark ride. Not only that, but it's one of the few rides that have that personal setting where I feel that everything is being directed towards me instead of everyone in the same vehicle as me. Revenge of the Mummy would be a third favorite of mine for it being a great coaster and a cool dark ride. The only problem I have with it are the "patented" transitions from scene-to-scene which is one area where Hollywood has it better--due to space, the version closest to me is just flat-out scene-to-scene. Indy and Pirates at Disneyland will be a fourth and a fifth for me. The theming is out-of-this-world for both of those rides.

Anyone have any footage or pictures of the Pirate or Earthquake rides? I've been looking around and trying to find such things but with no avail...
