PortAventura Discussion Thread
scbt replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So the real question is, how long before we start seeing that picture used on clickbait rollercoaster death articles and videos? -
I think the best way I've seen anyone deal with haters is Cory Booker - He's the embodiment of "Kill them with Kindness". https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/02/24/how-cory-booker-handles-haters-on-twitter/ I have no clue how someone can have that much patience for people - he's a saint.

I was at the park yesterday and just felt like saying what's probably been said quite a bit already - Bizarro could really use some love. The paint is faded, there's rust stains, and you can see some of the old bright yellow/green paint showing. Then don't get me started with the triple stacking... But the fire is working, so I guess that's something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

B&M Restraints: Old vs. New
scbt replied to DBru's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Agreed 100%, I couldn't have said it better myself. They're just a bit too tight to be comfortable. -
Favorite Coaster Color Scheme
scbt replied to CoasterExpert13's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not enough people here are posting pictures! My favorite was Batman at Six Flags New Orleans. I think by far the best color scheme of all the batman clones, and one of the best period. -
Don't kill me, but Epcot. To me, it seems like a park without a true identity. The future world half of the park is nice, but there's so much room for improvement. The World Showcase is nicely themed but doesn't have much other than shops and restaurants. It just doesn't do it for me.

New "Infinity" ride from KMG
scbt replied to theredskull84's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, that looks incredible. Someone in America, please buy one! Side note, the base for that looks absolutely tiny, although it's probably just me being used to seeing these type of rides in the US with a massive base. -
Vietnam's Increasing Coaster Count
scbt replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
2200m is 7200 feet, which would make it the 4th longest in the world, but 17 Billion dong is like $750K USD, so something doesn't quite add up. It's also going to a resort. Seems to me like it's an Alpine coaster. -
Bringing this thread back from the dead! I was looking around to see if anything ever happened with the 16 inversion coaster, although I didn't see anything beyond the renderings, which now seem to have disappeared. What I did stumble across is that CoasterLab actually did have a ride that he designed open. There was a TPR thread about it a while back, but it really didn't gather much attention nor did anyone comment on it being designed by Camiel. Here's the POV: [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] I also found a 30 minute documentary about it, although I have no clue what's being said since I don't speak german.

Photo TR: Snoopy Fun Fun Garden
scbt replied to The Angry Darren Mullins's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There's 81 of them according to RCDB, and those are only the Golden Horse ones that they have. With a bit of filtering, I came up with 126 of them in total. http://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&nm=na&pl=26380&lo=95&page=1 I honestly expected more than that. -
Totally agree, but now I'm curious to see if other Cedar Fair parks are offering it yet and, if so, what the price points are. $99 is still $99 too much for Dorney, but that'd be a major steal at many of their other parks. Double the FL+ cost would be $160 at Cedar Point, $126 at KD, and $136 at KI. Could be a really good deal at that price point. However, I think you would probably see a lot of people buying them at that cost and overwhelming the fastlanes.
