^The waterpark will take over the entire park, and within the next five years every coaster will be converted into an Aquatrax. -

Here's the latest rumor from Screamscape: While RS would be the coaster I'd personally miss the least, it's always sad to see a one-of-a-kind coaster disappear. Maybe it could be relocated to a smaller park? Talk amongst yourselves. -

I'm trying to make out the layout after the MCBR, and it looks like it's just helix > bunny hop > wide turn > brakes. I hope that's not the case, as I would love to see another slow roll or inline twist shoved in there. I guess we'll find out in two hours -

I didn't realize Wingriders had such a lukewarm reception. I really liked X-Flight and would love if it were closer to home. This is shaping up to be the Riddler's Revenge of Wingriders! -

I was kind of hoping for an inline twist too. That was one of the best parts of X-Flight, I thought. Still, everything else on this ride looks completely kickass. Especially the airtime hill. Plus, who knows what happens after the MCBR. I certainly didn't. I literally let out a squeal of delight when I saw what it looks like in 3D. -
Strangest layouts
UrbanLegend replied to Her0ofLime's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hydra: The Revenge at Dorney Park has a really odd layout for a floorless. No vertical loop, no pre-drop, and an inclined dive loop? Definitely strange. Also lots of fun, even if it is "forceless". -

Cedar Point won't do anything with Sonic because it doesn't have any sponsorship with Sonic. Also because that's a stupid idea and it sucks. Although Wikipedia informs me that the Sonic sponsorship contract in Alton Towers is set to expire in 2013. But even then, Sonic won't come to CP, because that's a stupid idea and it sucks. -
I don't know if anyone has said this, but I think they went with a wood coaster, more specifically the hyper-future-crazy of RMC, because then people will go, "Wow, a wood coaster can do *that*???" I feel like if it were a steel coaster all of the elements wouldn't be as impressive. The "primitive" structure and history of wood coasters makes it more impressive when they're twisted like steel.

I've never seen the last one before. I see what you did there, Cedar Point. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
UrbanLegend replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That happened to me too! Well, on the third time I rode it; oddly enough it didn't happen my first two rides. Also oddly enough that's never happened on any other ride - not even El Toro. I really hope they don't go with OTSRs. You know that Hershey's gonna be working their ass off in the offseason to improve the restraints as much as possible while keeping them lapbars. -

Many pages ago it was said that Hershey does not want to trim the ride, and will instead work on fixing the lapbars. -

^Perhaps it's part of the animation they've prepared for this ride. It'll pan over to the right and then we'll get to see... something. -

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
UrbanLegend replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Krake at Heide Park. Man, what a fun ride that is. I already can't wait to go back (2014 maybe?)
