[What is your favorite launch coaster?]

Hypersonic, Speed: The Ride (The second Wave is great) and perhaps- at a stretch- Volcano

[Cedar Fair buys PARAMOUNT PARKS!]

Scene: Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle-

 

"OH YES, OH YES, OH YES, OH YES, OH YESSSS"

 

I can only hope that PKD will be freed from the bounds of the under-height ride- I've always had a fantasy of a hypercoaster/Giga Coaster/TeraCoaster running alongside Rebel Yell- through/under the crossover to WaterWorks and behind Anaconda.

 

Having had the great pleasure to see Cedar Fair invest in what can be said as some of the greatest steel in the world (I'm still disappointed in the wood factor), it can be expected that perhaps we'll see a Beemer in PKD. Please. For the love of God. It's Three hours for a Beemer fix in this state.

[Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (SFDK) Discussion Thread]

This may be semi-off topic- but it's been rolling around in my head for a while.

 

I had the opportunity to experience Thriller and Zonga- once in Germany, once in California, and let me say it this way-

 

 

Yet again, SF murders a great and powerful ride- That strange thunking sound coming from Germany is the great one himself, spinning in his grave.

 

Will somebody please explain why Anton's rides have to be massacred by SF? - those godawful OTS restraints added when SF bought Thriller were sheer hell- very painful- and even my sister said she'd thought something that looked that cool would have ridden better.

 

I'm a very big fan of Schwartzkopf rides- especially his loopingracers and portables. I can only pray to the Coaster Gods that this ride will be taken to a place that still believes that Anton built it right the first time, and all the screwing around that SF has done has damaged it.

 

First Revolution, then Thriller. What next?

[POV of Timber Falls' Avalanche!]

Wow. Amazing. A real jaw dropper. But the capacity MUST suck- a long day if you're one of the few who get to take a ride...

[Which Theme Parks Have You Been To The Most?]

Lets see: Busch Gardens Williamsburg- Well over 150- probably more; I went to college less than a half hour from there-

Circus Circus Adventuredome: Around 25: Live about four hours from there, and can ride whenever I want to, even in January.
