Seriously bad theme park days
RideofSteel replied to caffeine_demon's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
During Fright Fest last year, Great Adventure was packed. We got three rides in all afternoon due to the 3 hr lines. When we got back to our car, our cell phones were missing. Then, it took security two hours to come to our car and help us. -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
RideofSteel replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
1. While on Skull Mountains brake run, the lady behind me asked the adult next to her, "Is this the part where it goes backwards and upside down? Or did we already do that?" 2. In Kingda Ka's line.... Person behind me: I can't believe Top Thrill Dragster only has a seat belt. Me: You do realize it has a lap bar too right? Person: Oh... -
There was a bad storm in the morning, but all of the coasters and flats reopened by one. I had a fun day apart from the terrible operations and large crowds. Nitro for example, was double stacking every single time. Bizarro, Green Lantern, and Kingda Ka were also the same way. The sky screamer and scrambler both had their lines extending into the midway.

What is your next park?
RideofSteel replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Besides for Great Adventure, Six Flags New England in late June. -
I rode the Sky Screamer tonight. Its a great addition to the park, but because of the trees it didn't feel too high. The Flying Dumbos were also running but we didn't ride. Everything had about a 20 minute wait except Superman, which was running one train. All 3 of The Lanterns trains are back in service! Ride Count: Nitro 1 Sky Screamer 1 Swashbuckler 1 El Toro 1

If you've never been on a stand up, Green Lanterns a lot of fun. The back rows can be extremely rough, but the middle is OK. The fronts offers a very cool view. Try to ride right after opening or in the late afternoon to avoid the long lines. Edit: Depending on your height you may have a lot of head banging. The inclined loops the worst spot.

Best Compact Coasters
RideofSteel replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
L and T's mini coasters are extremely small, but still deliver air time and some nice drops. (Runaway Train at Gillian's Wonderland Pier in Ocean City, NJ). -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

Overheard in school... Person 1. "What would happen if the roller coaster got stuck upside down?" Person 2: "I don't know but that's why I'm not going on a looping roller coaster." And on Roars POV.... -
