Okay, guys, let me clear it up. I never said that this song was ABOUT Knott's! I only said that a possible interpretation of it could be COMPARED TO KBF! It is true that the song is about a person's emotions. But that doesn't mean that it can't be that person's relationship with a park. It could be that the person doesn't like Knott's anymore the way it is now being run, and is experiencing the "rollercoaster" emotions listed in the song! Must...calm down...rainbows...ocean waves...forests...ahh, much better. My point exactly! Super "I think it's fair to let everyone have their own views on things such as music, don't you?" Dasher

Pretend the "you" in the song is the park, Knott's. Maybe that'll help.

I'm probably the only person on this site who knows who the heck Vivian Green is, but I just found a song she wrote about roller coasters. I think that she was trying to reference the "bad" changes Knott's has been undergoing in the past 5 years. I could be wrong, but that;s my interpretation. Here are the lyrics: (Verse 1) Last night I cried, tossed and turned, woke up with dry eyes My mind was racing, feet were pacing Lord help me please tell me what I have gotten into. Ran my 3 miles to clear my mind, it always turns me out Its my therapy when I'm losing it which is usually (Hook) I'm on a emotional rollercoaster Loving you ain't nothing healthy Loving you was never good to me But I can't get off (Verse 2) Yesterday I told myself, I was gonna be okay Gonna start a new day, be truely happy I was gonna take control of me But eventually reality hit me Mentally, physocally, and emotionally And I opened my eyes and realized That was still being taken for a constant ride (Hook) (Bridge) So tired of you making love to me, then disappearing so suddenly Up and Down it goes And I'm so tired of you pacifying me With promises you know that you'll never keep Round and Round it goes (Hook) Example: "I'm so tired of you pacifying me with promises you know that you'll never keep". Anyone remember the time when they put a sign out front saying everything was open, then, to the horror of Robb and everyone else, XLR8R and several other rides turned out to be closed? Does anybody else agree with me? Or am I out in space somewhere with these thoughts?

Wow, this is a lot of discussion on launches. For now, let's get back to the POV. That thing was good quality. It's cool how they got a POV of the world's fastest and tallest roller coaster. I don't know what I think of the 30 seconds or so of talking before the launch. It's kind of amusing, but it's also kind of annoying, as are the screams going down the spiral. The actual language doesn't bother me in the slightest, in fact I think it's cool that they said the f-word at the top of the world's tallest coaster, 456 feet above the ground!! Super "Can a camera get thrilled?" Dasher

I'd say I'm like Talon. Some people find me boring, other people think I'm funny, and so on. Super "I also didn't find Talon that boring when I rode it" Dasher

No. Have you met Robb and Elissa in person before?

I know you! If I say Robb, Elissa comes and flame-mails me. If I say Elissa, Robb comes and flame-mails me. I'm too smart for you, Pgathriller! They're both equally brave! WARHARHARHAR!

In a movie trailer, Jesus and a woman are in a car. Jesus is driving at like 80mph, and police cars are pulling up ahead. Woman (to Jesus): "By the son of God, you sure are a son of a-WOOOAAAH!"

Oh Yeah! Wasn't Brian trying to cheer Peter up, or something? I also liked when Peter sang Rock Lobster to Clevland to try to cheer him up.

A little bit of screaming in the background adds to the excitement, but if the person right next to me is screaming loud nonstop or something, it's pretty annoying.

I saw that trailer too the other day. The coaster part actually made me kind of nervous (being a regular rider of roller coasters and all). I wondered what coaster that was too. I recognized the Vekoma track, and thought it could be either Viper at SFMM or Ninja at SFOG. It looked to me in the trailer that the train crashed on a Vertical Loop. But from what I've seen above I guess it's the Corkscrew in the above pictures. Just your typical Vekoma Corkscrew that can be found almost anywhere but the US.

I don't exactly scream, but I go "WHOOOO!" and "YEAH!" a lot during a good ride.

Demon at PGA http://www.rollercoasterpro.com/onride_videos/demon/demon.wmv Python at BGT http://www.coasterjoe.com/pov/python.wmv The Python POV is not of the best quality but it's still pretty funny. "Aah! Four foot drop!" Also, when the guy in the Demon POV says, "I hate it when it does that", I think he's referring to the shaking the train does when it catches the lift hill.

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/banana.php Don't you think it would be funny if Robb were to do this dance at the end of one of his coaster videos? I think it would be!

Aww, they could've come up with a more creative name than this. How about "Bob: King of Speed" (Rita's husband)? Or "Bottom Thrill Dragster"? Hmph. Tell me, what does stealth have to do with racing anyway? Super "Anything other than a repeat of its development name!" Dasher

The first few drops on Nitro are pretty intense, and there's a lot of airtime ( ) but the G-forces, to me, felt pretty low, which is probably why it didn't get a higher rating.

One thing I really hate is when rave reviews of coasters considered to be "forceless" are posted. In particular, I'm thinking of Silver Bullet and Talon on the Theme Park Critic forum. I've heard about how Silver Bullet is maybe the best B&M ever, how it's perfect, and how it pulls extreme Gs throughout the whole ride. Brriiiing! Don't hit the snooze button, because this alarm clock is telling you that the forces on Silver Bullet don't compare to many other B&M Inverts out there. Put Top Gun at Paramount's Great America next to Silver Bullet and you'll think that Silver Bullet was intended for families. The final helix on Silver Bullet is the only "wow" part of the ride, and even that is nothing compared to Raptor's final helix. Silver Bullet is still a fun ride, however, and it's something I would ride at least once or twice every visit to Knott's (provided it's not "randomly closed"). However, from all the perfect scores I saw, I expected a lot more.

Hey Robb, I was wondering if TPR has any plans on visiting Dorney Park in 2006 to ride Hydra. If so, let me tell you something. I've actually ridden Hydra myself, and I regret to say it's a LOT like Silver Bullet! It's waaay overhyped and a lot of fun, but in terms of forces it loses pretty bad to Dominator, Kraken, and Medusa at SFGA. It's one of the slowest and shortest floorless coasters at 53mph and 95 feet, and it seems to be another "forceless" B&M. Hydra does, however, have a really "cool" element that no other floorless coaster has, and that is the "Jojo Roll" (a heartline with a cool name, basically) just outside the station, before the lift hill. This is a fun inversion because you go through it so slowly, it feels like you're gonna fall out. It seems as though this Jojo Roll is Hydra's answer to Silver Bullet's overbanked turn. I wonder why not more coasters have this sort of thing? Other than that Hydra is pretty much Silver Bullet on track. But then again, you guys didn't find Batman: The Dark Knight at SFNE that bad (I did), so maybe you'll like Hydra. The best part of Silver Bullet for me is the helix at the end, that's about the only time the ride actually feels like it is pulling any Gs. But still, I agree that the overbank is a "cool" element. It's almost like an inverted version of the non-inversion thingy on Goliath at Walibi World! Super "I've only ridden maybe 15 B&Ms in comparison, and I thought Silver Bullet and Hydra were all the hype for forceful B&Ms..." Dasher

OMGWTF ROFLMAO :shock:

Yes, in fact it's my favorite holiday. Have you ever wet your pants in public?

I just tried to think of a cool name on the spot when I was registering for the Forum... Superdasher was the first thing to come to mind for me.

This is, by far, the strangest dream I’ve ever had. You have to understand, the night before, all I had to eat was like, a can of Pringles and like 20 pieces of chocolate. Here goes: I had to use a taxi system to get to school, because the buses were down and my parents couldn’t drive. The taxi came at like 2:00 in the morning, after I had already missed Monday of school. I asked the driver if he was picking me up, and he said yeah. But I told him that school didn’t start until 8am the next day, and he decided to wait until then. It turned out that the taxi driver also ran some shops near to where I lived, and I checked them out. One of them was selling things like crystals and gemstones, another had candy. When it was finally time to go, we rode the taxi to school. I had the usual day at school, but stayed after to find the four keys hidden around the school. These keys would let us reach one of our teachers’ offices. The first two were easy but the third required an elevator, and we didn’t have the card for the elevator. When the button was pushed, the doors only opened for like 3 seconds or so (not long enough for us to get in). We had to instead say the numbers to get the doors to stay open. After a lot of guessing, we found that 55 was one of the numbers, and 53 was the other one. We got the key. The fourth key was in the locker room. The usual afterschool volleyball practice was going on, and I had to climb around the gym to get to the locker rooms. One of my colleagues points out that I could’ve walked there. D’oh! But I still got the fourth and last key. When we tried the keys on the office door, they didn’t work. So we gave up and decided to watch the sport practices (volleyball and basketball). At around 4pm, the practices ended, and (and here’s the weirdest part) a giant inflatable balcony of seats, similar to those at a movie theater, popped up, along with a giant movie screen, right there in the gym! It seemed as though the coaches were letting the teams see a movie as a reward for working hard, or something. Me and my friends snuck into the gym and got seats close to the front, and the movie started. It was a cartoon about a bear who mixes white, chocolate, and strawberry milk together, and after drinking it, gets warped to Los Angeles! WTF?!? Before we got to see that part, though, it was 4:15 and I needed to catch the taxi back home. And right after that, I woke up. As I’m typing this I cannot help but wonder to myself…Could the bear in the “cartoon” have ended up meeting Robb and Elissa? Or maybe seeing Tatsu construction and riding X and Goliath? Or perhaps spending a miserable life in So Cal getting beaten up by gangsters? Okay, maybe I shouldn’t have shared this with you guys... Super "Personally, I blame the junk food" Dasher
