Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
australianalex replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's a shame it sucked so much. It really was a visually spectacular ride. -
If Hurler was given Iron Horse track I think it would make a really fun family coaster with some good airtime if the hills were reprofiled, maybe in some parts replaced by a double down, or even a barrel roll. Sure, it wouldn't be on the scale of New Texas Giant or Iron Rattler, but it would be great fun.

Ride Bucket List
australianalex replied to Evanaj15's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
After watching a POV of it Tornado at Sarkanniemi has made my list. That thing looks awesome, especially the underground heartline roll. -
Photo TR: Megan's China Trip with TPR!
australianalex replied to Pirouettes907's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Those bears are cool. It's sad, but unsurprising, that they're kept in such awful conditions. Oh well, I guess on my China visit I'll avoid anywhere with captive animals or I may mutate into an animal super-activist and set everyone on fire. -
Strangest layouts
australianalex replied to Her0ofLime's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Though it is a clone of Oblivion, the layout of Diving Machine G5 at Janfusun Fancyworld looks odd and somewhat unnatural as it is much more elevated than Oblivion's. -
TPR's 2012 China Trip!
australianalex replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
From what I've seen the layout is the same as Eejanaika's, just shrunken down. Like Eejanaika, t has the extra inversion that X2 doesn't have. On another note, it's nice to hear this ride isn't as rough as everyone was expecting. It's great to see that it was given the new-style trains. -

Great to hear that 10 Inversion Coaster is smooth. Colossus was really painful when I visited Thorpe Park, which is a shame as I liked the layout. -
TPR's 2012 China Trip!

Would I be correct in saying that Dinoconda is the smallest 4D coaster so far? From the pictures I've seen it looks significantly shorter than Eejanaika and X2 and the elements on it seem more compact. -

I had no idea there was a prototype Arrow suspended corkscrew. That looks terrifying. -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
australianalex replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ That's interesting, but I don't think it'd add much to the ride experience. Plus it would kill any airtime that is felt on the top hats, not to mention it being an extra contraption on rides that already break down a fair amount. -
Going Empty...
australianalex replied to Rocket Rodder's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sometimes when I see a coaster run empty it amazes me at how quiet it is without riders. For example, at Thorpe Park Saw the Ride broke down and when they sent through some test cars I was amazed to find that the ride is practically silent. This surprised me as other Eurofighters (specifically Speed: No Limits) have quite a loud roar. But even Saw's lift hill seemed much quieter. Usually I don't like to see a ride running empty as it often means it's broken down. -
TPR's 2012 China Trip!
australianalex replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well I'm hoping and praying that RCDB is right and it's an Intamin lol But you have a point. Considering the park couldn't be bothered buying a real Vekoma SLC or Maurer Spinner they could easily get another knockoff from Golden Horse instead of a real Intamin. -
TPR's 2012 China Trip!
australianalex replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those SLC's make me fear life. It looks like this one is a copy of the Shenlin layout? BTW the knockoff half pipe that's being built is actually not a knockoff according to RCDB. It's supposedly being built by Intamin. -
Strangest layouts
australianalex replied to Her0ofLime's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Some of the last CCI coasters look a bit odd. Medusa and the Boss, among others, all have odd, huge layouts that remind me of Dinn woodies. I wonder why they changed their style so drastically. -

This puts all the other Wet n Wild parks to shame. -

Granted, but you no longer own a computer. I wish that teachers could have a sense of humor.
