GAME: What's worse than...
australianalex replied to MayTheGForceBeWithYou's topic in Random, Random, Random
Your friends telling you that Bert and Ernie are straight. What's worse than being stung by a wasp the size of a truck? -

Well, the trains on Greenlantern at Movie world have the same capacity as your standard Euro Fighter trains, and there lapbars only. A Euro Fighter or an El Loco would be great IMO! Not to mention that Green Lantern is insanely smooth. However, from the two Eurofighters I've been on I'd say I much prefer Eurofighters over El Locos. They're much more fun and intense.

Favorite Coaster Sounds
australianalex replied to TheAmazingCP's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I love the sound of Intamin cables doing their thing. That's when they're not busy snapping and attempting to kill people, of course. The high pitched whirring noise sounds awesome for some reason. -

I'm not sure about power, I've had burps more powerful than Rita's launch -

No computers. What's worse than SFGAdv replacing Wild Safari with an expansion to the park that is full of crappy old relocated coasters from other parks made by Vekoma, Togo and RCCA? -

Photo TR: Mid-Winter Aussie Trip with the Kiwis
australianalex replied to mattnz's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
It sucks you missed out on Wild West Falls, it's a great ride. Well themed, very long, and full of surprises. I have to say you seem to have caught the staff at Movieworld on a bad day. I mean, they're always quite harsh, but what you experienced is out of the ordinary based on my visits to Movieworld. Anyway, great pics again! -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

Looks like B&M ruined what could've been a perfectly good coaster by not putting a little dip before the first drop. Those damn Swiss. -

Wow, looks like a surprisingly good park, very well themed it seems. And according to RCDB the Boomerang is brand new? I had no idea Vekoma still made Boomerangs. -

Post your milestone coasters
australianalex replied to bgwfreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Somehow, I've unintentionally managed to make all my landmark coasters crappy Vekomas. I'll make sure my 50th credit is a good coaster, or I could make it a Vekoma Boomerang for the lolz. #1 Goofy's Barnstormer - Disney's Magic Kingdom #10 Lethal Weapon - Warner Bros Movie World #20 X:/ No Way Out - Thorpe Park -
Some of my favorites at the moment include: Antidote - Swedish House Mafia vs Knife Party Back in Time - Pitbull Bad Romance - Lady Gaga Bonfire - Knife Party Finale - Madeon Kyoto - Skrillex Levels - Avicii Past Life - Modigs Sitting on top of the World - Delta Goodrem Spectrum (Calvin Harris Remix) - Florence and the Machine The Veldt - Deadmau5 Video Games - Lana Del Rey Where Have You Been - Rihanna As you can see I have an odd taste in music.

Grizzly Dollywood or SDC?

[RCT3] Fisher Park
australianalex replied to Tomes1225's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
That is ridiculous - and completely realistic! Considering how easily people get offended these days, I could easily see this happening in real life. Good scenario, I'm interested to see how things pan out. The park pics are looking awesome as usual. Mustang is truly awesome. -
Haven't been on either, but Behemoth appeals to me more. I prefer airtime hills to high speed turns. Montu or Alpengeist?
-
That's actually a pretty good idea. Freefalling face first would be quite terrifying.

Favorite roller coaster?
australianalex replied to Christopoll's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Just a correction, Nemesis is at Alton Towers. The one at Thorpe Park is called Nemesis Inferno. My vote goes for the one at Alton Towers. -
^ I believe so. He's calmed down a bit recently, suggesting someone's probably complained to the school. But he still has his moments.

Nemesis. -
Well 7 years on, the spinning coaster with inversions concept is the only one that actually happened. Oh well. I'd personally love to see a combination of the elevator lift system with the free fall system on a coaster. For example, there could be a western themed coaster that goes through its course before stopping at a mountain. It enters into a "mine shaft" before slowly being pulled upwards. Suddenly there are creaking noises, the elevator "breaks" and the track free falls back to where it started, or too a separate level before exiting to the station.
