Getting a megalite. What's better than the speed limit on highways being removed?

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I might be my least favourite invert but I loved all the ones I've ridden so far so that's still pretty good. The helix is surprisingly forceful and so is the turn after the zero g (with a nice unexpected pop of air when you enter it). Just not a big fan of the long straights. Still all those moments and the fact that, overall, the ride is pretty solid make it rather good (for me). I also love just how loud it is! -

I actually quite like the funkiness of great bear's supports. Makes it look more unique -
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (BGT Discussion Thread)

Looking at a cartoon drawing of Kumba on the park map is more intense than riding Fahrenheit. I actually found that ride to be quite underrated. Sure, it's not as intense as the other intamins at the park but it still delivers some great moments of air and the pacing is not so bad either. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

It is. I wonder what goes through their head when they decide to come up with these things -
Last summer (after two days at CP we left Sandusky and the GPS chose a route where the park was visible from. It wasn't that bad as I'd just been there, but still pretty irritating) When was the last time you had a bad injury?

"hasta la vista, baby" would also be a great one, I think -

^You're right when you say a coaster might be great without a big drop (my favourite ride, dragon khan, doesn't have a massive one either) and I'm not saying in any way that I don't want this to actually get built. However, I would like to see the record being beaten by a "traditional" ride: either with a launch and a 500 feet top hat (imagine the speed! ) or a lift hill and drop (which would also be awesome). But then that's me -
New Wanda Parks in China.

^ That's what I've been thinking. It's quite funny, actually -
It's definitely a great achievement but we have to keep in mind that the "rails" themselves on this ride consist of a thick steel part as well as a few wood plates while B&M's (for instance) are just a tube, so they're a lot thicker. Still very impressive, though, and it will definitely look great when going through the inversion.

Tracking coasters ridden
rcjp replied to alilstronger's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I actually did just like you but this thread reminded me of coming up with something a bit "fancier" so I created an Excel sheet (with the year ridden but not much, really) -

^Oh that a shame. Those two rides alone would make a great line-up. -

^Well, there are not many tilt coasters around so there's not much for them to copy At least that's the theory...
