I sometimes experience that feeling on a hot day. I find that when I'm hot and dehydrated I'm susceptible to dizziness and grey outs.

Uh...

Top comment on TPR's Leviathan POV: Either this guy is insanely stupid or I'm missing something?

Out of the compact coasters I've ridden, I like S&S El Locos and Gerstlauer Spinners the best.

I'd like to count parks but I've been to way too many when I was younger to remember.

I completely disagree, I think Shambhala has a much more speed than a regular B&M hyper. Maybe not as much as an Intamin, but still miles ahead of the likes of Diamondback, Leviathan etc.

Great pics, Shambhala looks awesome! I love how the ride has no trims (except maybe on the speed hill?) and even the splashdown doesnt slow it as it's artificial. Definitely looks better than Leviathan IMO. Did those second generation trains have that dreaded B&M rattle everyone was talking about?

Fresh from a Video of Skyrush testing on Hershey Park's Facebook page... Because 70mph is really slow.

This actually made me laugh. Really Knotts? If I was a Season Pass Holder I'd probably be jumping off a cliff right about now.

Rainbow Magicland really does look like a nice park, very well themed - especially that flume ride.

Yay for Schwarzkopf!

Probably this, actually Its a shame to see a park rot like that. If I'm ever in France I'll make a quick stop to ride Monster, but that's about it.

6 Then again I don't watch very many movies.

This coaster is sounding more and more awesome each time I open this thread.

On a video of the Claw at Dreamworld: So you live in a country where you have Europa Park - one of the top parks in the world, Expedition Geforce - one of the top steel coasters in the world, and Colossos - one of the top wooden coasters in the world. Just a couple hours drive from where you in different European countries, you can go on one of the top inverted coasters in the world at Mirabilandia, or one of the top steel coasters in the world at Walibi World. Yet you call us here in Australia lucky because we have some Gyro Swing, when we have a pathetic collection of coasters (with a couple of exceptions) and have to fly half way across the world to ride some decent rides? Right. Sorry, bit of a rant, but it annoys me when people don't appreciate what they have, especially in a country like Germany which is packed with awesome coasters. Oh well, I guess the grass is always greener.

Looks brilliant, awesome park and not too unrealistic for Australia (e.g not a huge park with a million rides). Hope you're still working on it!

I like the trains. At least they look better than this.

Here in Australia, all the decent parks are bunched together on the Gold Coast. I think the main major tourist destinations here in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne) really need to get a decent theme park. Sure, they have Luna Park in both areas, but both parks are very run down. Sydney is getting a Wet n Wild soon which is great, but I'd love to see them get an actual theme park. Also, I have loads of family in Scotland and was quite dissapointed to find out that M&D's is really the only theme park there. If Wales can get a good theme park, why can't Scotland?

I think part of the roughness is the bouncing up and down you see. To be honest, X2 looks insanely smooth compared to this.

I wonder if the Euthanasia Coaster was ever built, would that be a credit?

I hope you have your will prepared.

I'm not really a credit whore, as I see no point in riding kiddy coasters simply for the credit. Sure, I want a high count, but I'd like most of those coasters to be GOOD coasters. So instead of having 500 credits from whoring Wacky Worms, I'd rather have, say, 100 from riding some good coasters.

That's a Double Armed Ranger/Kamikaze. Those types of rides are made by tons of different companies, but since it's in Italy it's probably the Fabbri version.

Well, that's reassuring

On TPR's Superman Escape (Warner Bros Movieworld) POV Because an Intamin Accelerator is fully a ride for little kids, I'm sure that's what Movieworld were going for. If they'd wanted a thrill ride they clearly would've put a loop in it.
