Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
SFOGdude25 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Honestly I don't care whether or not I can snap a flyer. If you get the rhythm right, you can still take off like nobody's business and get pretty high. Snapping or not, scooters are always a blast. -
There is a new Vacation Movie Coming Out
SFOGdude25 replied to John Peck's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This may be optimistic, but I want to see how many theme park jokes the writers can fit in this time around. There's potential for some really funny stuff. It definitely won't be as good as the original, though. That movie is such a classic (and hilarious I might add). -

^I really love Raptor's paint scheme personally. On another note, I wonder if we'll get any video of Rougarou testing soon? -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
SFOGdude25 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nashville is lucky in a way.. It's about 3 to 4 hours away from Holiday World, SFOG, Dollywood, Kentucky Kingdom, not to mention Beech Bend is in Bowling Green, which is about an hour or so north of Nashville. From one Nashville native to another, I agree. Despite the fact that we don't have a true local park, there are several great parks within a 5 hour radius of here. I remember when Voyage opened and Holiday World started advertising in Nashville, I didn't even realize that it was so close to us until then! I've been going to Holiday World at least once every year since then. Funny thing is, I STILL haven't been to Beech Bend despite being only an hour away. I'm hoping this year will finally be the year I can ride Kentucky Rumbler! Back to Thunderbird, I'm stoked that B&M's first true launched coaster is only 3 hours away from me. While I know Thunderbird probably won't top Voyage in terms of thrills, it will at least be super fun and WAY more re-ridable. Every time I visit the park and ride the 3 wooden coasters, they're all so intense and jostling that they tend to tire me out early in the day. Having a smooth steel coaster will help balance out the coaster collection a ton. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

I didn't realize just how big the area is that Cedar Point opened up for the new expansion. Looking at the webcam right now, it looks like it could easily fit a good size coaster. Can't wait to see what happens! Another note, I REALLY hope Cedar Point adds a pathway that connects the Blue Streak area with the Main Midway. That would make Blue Streak more accessible walking from the back of the park. -

Flight of Fear bangs my shoulders up pretty good every time I ride, but I still enjoy it every once in a while. WAY better than when it had OTSRs. I never rode it back then, but I can imagine how horribly painful that was. -

Carowinds Discussion Thread

Showing my inner nerd here... Is it just me or does the track spine seem wider than the standard B&M spine? Not a huge deal, I just notice small details like that pretty quickly. -

Did I actually see the riders being forced up into their lapbars during the 3 camelback hills? They seem to be shaped more like low speed hills than high parabola floater hills. I think the ride looks great. I try to appreciate roller coasters for what they are, and I'll for sure enjoy Fury 325. It looks so FAST! For all the critics among us, I'd like to refer you to my signature. -

I like Diamondback much more. It's layout is a little more varied and interesting than Intimidator, which is pretty much just hill after hill after hill and nothing else. -

I'm glad they're finally doing something in that area. It was starting to turn into a dump ever since they made the whole area a smoking section.
