The Best Woodie under 75 feet Tall
Vtafro replied to MagnumForce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thunderbolt may meet the height requirement, seems to be cheating a little bit with a drop of nearly 100 feet, compared to Blue Streak's drop of < 75 feet. My pick would be phoenix if we could pick drops of less than 75 feet, however since that would be cheating, ill go with jack rabbit(Height:40 ft,Drop:70 ft) also from kennywood. I find it interesting cyclops also fits in this category(Height:70 ft,Drop:75 ft) and both cyclops and jack rabbit have OMFG airtime moments. -

Where Are You Planning To Go In 2014?
Vtafro replied to azza29's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
2014: SCANDI.* SF Great Adventure(can someone say drop tower*, home park) Fun Spots*(both fl parks) Disney(need everest and dwarves coaster*, besides who doesn't love disney) Kings Island(Banshee*) Indiana Beach*† SF Great America(Goliath*) Strickers Grove*‡ Waldameer*† Conneaut*† Idlewild*† Kennywood(worth a revisit)† Lakemont*† CGA*‡(would make a nice CFK, but KD may be this years) SFDK*‡ ValleyFair!/MoA*‡ BGW† BGT‡(would take 2 fl trips) *New †Probable ‡Questionable/Doubtful Last year i surprised myself. Have some that we probably won't do this year, but who knows. -
No need to fly. We just did a three day trip to texas, which could be done without skipping sea world: Day 1: Fly into dallas early: go to SFOT(wasn't open to weather…), then drive to san antonio(4 hours depending on traffic). Sleep in san antonio. Day 2: Do SFFT and possibly sea world, enjoy river walk(again weather ruined). Drive to houston. Sleep in houston/galveston. Day 3: Pleasure pier and kemah boardwalk. Anything else in houston, fly out of houston. only issue is renting a car(different pickup/dropoff) and some decent amount of driving, wasn't too bad with 2 people. Honestly the answer here is go on a tpr tour if possible.

The link was the link directly to the store, at least on mobile/ipad. Lake compounce is also doing a deal for 45$, for their 'platinum season pass' https://store.accesso.com/PE-LC/packageList/keyword/Season%20Passes -
Tpr, tpr tours, airtime, intamin, rmc, b&m, premier, and innovation in general. Also thankful for a great year, and hoping 2014 will be even better.

Best Gravity Group Woodie
Vtafro replied to djboss302's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Haven't ridden ZP, or Ravine Flyer II yet but really enjoyed boardwalk bullet. The voyage after a fresh retrack deserves another chance. Hades 360 is the worst I've ridden and i'd speculate the worst on the list. -

Proslide Rocket Vs. Master Blaster?
Vtafro replied to dropzonefan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Really enjoy these rides, especially when you aren't expecting one at a park. My preference: 1. ProSlide HydroMAGNETIC Rockets 2. Masterblasters 3. ProSlide Rockets (w/ conveyor belts) -
