A whole mile - wow, must be fit!!

One of our group members had a real struggle getting on shambhala at PA last year - it was down to his thighs rather than overall weight (first day couldn't fit, second day took a good squeeze) I needed a good squeeze on hurakan, and a little squish on baco (the restraints are definitely tighter than the usual intamin ones) second time, I only needed about an inch of squish, but the ride op called a mate over and really squashed me! On the 2 rides I decided I hated it with a passion, and if it wasn't for the fact that hurakan condors rather good, I'd consider gaining a few pounds so I'd have the ideal excuse for not riding! And I'd probably fail the family guy scooter test

Not a drawing, but...

Bizarro underrated? where? mine would be blue streak - lovely little ride!

Granted - but they had to melt down darien lake to make the full size version, I wish I could teleport anywhere I wanted

Ok - who voted rcca?? (I voted intamin)

Queen Bee is quite cute: http://rcdb.com/1871.htm?p=3877 also - Vekoma roller skaters: http://rcdb.com/8651.htm?p=36676 http://rcdb.com/9075.htm?p=33241 Now - are there any cute coasters, where they aren't cure because of the trains?

Do you mean fastpass type things?

Closest would be these 2: http://rcdb.com/9013.htm http://rcdb.com/9481.htm

That double up really whacks you into the lap bar! 'sawesome!

But only if it has a turntable: http://rcdb.com/1050.htm?p=30570

If the ride is just 10% as good as that video, it will be truly awesome! - The vid is brilliantly done!

There aren't many pretzel loops either

Robb needs to sue the GEICO pig for stealing his line. If GEICO ever runs a commercial with that pig going "wheeeeeee" on a roller coaster, Robb might have a case. I entered geico roller coaster on youtube!

me too! best I've ever done! woooooooooo!

That's my plans on how to pay for my next holiday scuppered!

You need to ride some bad coasters.... anyway - mine are: Bandit - movie park and mean streak at CP - just shakes violently around the whole track making you worry that you're going to chip a tooth or something! Furius baco - Portaventura - horrendously rough and shaky throughout, and far more uncomfortable than any other intamin restraints - great launch though! Mantis at cedar point - extremely painfull (FAR worse than apocalypse at SFA) Mumbo Jumbo - flamingoland - surprisingly uncomfortable and very poor throughput Flying fish at thorpe park - this is one of the occasions when I don't think it's off to brand a family/kiddie coaster as bad - I normally like powered coasters, and I love a good family ride - but this just bumps it's way slowly around the track and does nothing of any interest! Diablo at PortAventura - AKA lift hill, the ride - 3 lift hills strung together by bugger all!

ooh - you're a tease!!

I love the Japanese video (can't remember the coaster now), with the really slow lift hill, which is actually a very fast, very tall lift hill with a lot of perspective going on!

This whole thread reminds me of

I think you missed a "b" out! (or are you really off to ride a black mama??)

baco and big one above the other three???? how?!? whaaaaaaa? how can that be!

Well you can call your present a Happy New Year at this rate - it might be a happy next xmas present!!

no idea!!
