Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
RideofSteel replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That was on a POV of Apocalypse... -
rollercoastersrock.tumblr.com I just post roller coasters...Usually 4-5 per day. I'm coasting at about 260 followers.

Yet you still continue on with this...

That's terrible... I totally agree that's tasteless.

I didn't find much airtime on Bizarro... But, Thunderbolt's last bunny hop (the one with trims) was fantastic. I flew up out of my seat. Ride of Steel at SFA also has some amazing airtime. But the best for me would be El Toro's RT hill....amazing! Runners up also include: Sidewinder at EG- You really fly up on that drop out of the station. Nitro at Great Adventure- Awesome floater airtime on every single hill.

I hate windows 8.

The Bat at Lagoon sucked pretty bad too. My head slammed into the restraints a few times too many. While I enjoyed it, Jet Star 2 was pretty rough. The combination of a person in front of you and those sharp turns made it pretty uncomfortable. I really wish they allowed three people to ride per car.

Why Does Everybody Hate on Six Flags?
RideofSteel replied to eltororider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I like Six Flags. I think while sometimes the things wrong with the parks are a bit exaggerated, sometimes there are some really annoying problems. My biggest problems with Six Flags are: 1. Operations: Out of the three Six Flags I've been to, the operations are very inconsistent. At SFNE, most of the coasters had 4 attendants checking and were barely stacking at all. Even Batman, which is pretty short. That being said, ME and Thunderbolt (which only has 1) were only running one train, but the lines still moved pretty fast. At my home park of SFGAdv, operations are very mixed. The rides all run at full capacity but with only 2 attendants checking. Some days on Nitro the next train is ready to be dispatched when the previous one clears the lift, but other days it's double stacking every time. El Toro and Green Lantern are the same way. I have seen five minute dispatches on Green Lantern, but then when the crew rotates they send trains out every minute. Moving on, SFA had pathetic ride ops with one train on everything. The worst by far was Batwing, which was taking 8-15 minutes to cycle. (I waited 45 minutes and only three trains went by.)...The best I have seen is Lagoon. They had one attendant checking Roller Coaster but still were sending the trains out about 40 seconds after they stopped! If they can do it, Six Flags can too! 2. Employees: Some employees just don't care. One of the flash pass workers was telling me about how he sleeps on the handrails on slow days. But then,there are bright employees. The 3 girls running Thunderbolt were awesome, (and so were most of the employees at SFNE). They worked their butts off all night, especially since they had to manually unlock each car. 3. Theming: All three of the Six Flags seemed really nice when you enter. SFA's just ends when you go past main street though. Batwing and Gotham City were just sad. At Great Adventure, one once mighty fort looks beat up. The queue lines for RMT and the skyride have broken handrails and weeds growing through the cracks in the sidewalk. I really liked SFNE though, it had a nice atmosphere all the way around. They made Goliath look great. -

Here is a gem from Coasterforce's video of Jet Star 2 at Lagoon. -
[RCT3] Tennessee's Great America
RideofSteel replied to fraroc's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I don't really like your kids area either. It looks like you took two minutes to make it. I don't like the tacky in game scenery. You could have added buildings,fences, or landscaping to make it look much better. ^I also have to agree about the red coaster. I think the supports could use a lot more work. I really like the idea of your park and with some work you really could make it much nicer. -
