  1. A picture I made for my youtube channel. It's got the words Ultradude306 in large red letters with an explosion in the background... Sorry, I can't upload it.
  2. No.. I don't like DP... 7 UP ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Do you think B&M should take another crack @ launched coasters?
  3. There is only one that is considered stationary and it is the one at Trimpers in Ocean City, MD. I love that it is so close to me and it it is definitely one of the best zippers I have ever rode. As for the door flying open.... I have had one open while I was riding. Luckily it was in lift mode and not in full operation. When the door opened, what did you do?... Did you fall out, or were you low enough to jump out yourself? Also with the quote above about a park model, I agree on that. It's surprising why chance hasn't made a modernized Version of the ride that could be good for parks as well as traveling midways, and bigger/better than the original, the only recent update I heard about for the zipper was about 10-13 years ago, when they made safer, longer lasting and slightly re designed cages. Considering how popular the ride is, I'm shocked they haven't decided to try a modern overhaul (not just new cages) like what they did with their transmit, turning it into the whip rout. Anyone else agree?
  4. These shows are not "made for enthusiasts", they are made more for your average park general public. The audience for a show like this, and even theme parks in general is NOT the person that scours the internet looking for nerdy details about theme parks and roller coasters. We make up a VERY VERY small percentage of people that go to the parks. So keep that in mind before you complain about the shows. I thought this was one of the better ones and DID touch upon things that some of the other shows don't mention. We should be happy that there are shows being made again on this subject matter. You do remember years going by with a void of any theme park or coaster shows, don't you? Ya... Guess you're right Also, I was talking about shows I'VE seen. I didn't mean to make it sound like I was generalizing so much. Sorry if anybody took my comment the wrong way
  5. ^I don't get it.. Is it supposed to be that I'll always be wishing for it, hoping the stratosphere coaster will still be built? Anyway... Granted, but the movie would be really bad, and she'd hate you afterward. I wish Verona didn't suck
  6. Never rode 1, but considering some of their steel coasters are said to be as rough as a badly maintained woodie if say NO. Do you think there's something messed up in all our heads to make us do obsessed with coasters? Lol
  7. You don't think I haven't tried that? Lol Idk... It's just not working
  8. Awesome slogan! Plus an even more awesome colour... Also happens to be the colour of one of my fav coasters, Leviathan... The *ONLY* B&M gigs in the world! 10/10 And yes, you should check it out. I've just uploaded some new vids, including some nice footage I shotvof a chance zipper with an awesome ride op running the HE double hockey sticks outa the thing.! I highly suggest Checking out my channel.
  9. Granted, but then you would get so famous with your memes and designs you made in photshop that you would have to go into hiding in order to avoid the poparatzi. I wish a coaster with a 1000' drop was built
  10. Then venoms would've built it later, & it would suck even more What if B&M sucked?
  11. Idk much about X2, as I don't live in that area, and haven't ridden it, but my best guess is that obesity rates are rising, causing the trains to be the same weight as the old ones, making the ride rough lol Seriously tho, all I know is that I hope it gets fixed, as I may be goin to California in the next few years, and want the best experience on all the rides at SFMM
  12. I've heard people talking about how the Travel channel had a coaster show where they talked about some record breaking waterslide in Kansas City. anyone have info on it?
  13. Well, just look at the message Alton posted. It says "Unforseen Testing Problems"... Of course that's gonna freak the GP out. It's probably a marketing thing by Alton to increase the suspense while they fix up a problem with the effects or something (guessing it's the effects, as during the onride POVs they weren't on).
  14. Agree with you totally on the Zipper. Pretty sure they're mainly a north American thing, however I've heard of some in Australia. As for the good ride op thing, I've noticed that the way they run zippers in Canada, pacifically in Ontario, that they'll run it in a very interesting manner. If there is only one or two people on the ride, the op will start and stop the cars, and keep the boom moving, in order to line up the one loaded car in order to get it to flip continuously. I've experienced this, and when done properly, you are not able to move from the G forces, either pinned to the seat, or shoved into the cage door (extremely scary, wondering if the door will fly open). Strangely, out of all the youtube videos out there of this ride I have only seen this in Canada, and only in person... idk, maybe because of the free health care up here, the ops run the hell outa the ride, knowing that people won't sue you over the health care being too expensive if the thing breaks lol.... too bad you guys south of the boarder don't get to experience it But ya... people who complain about the old rides sucking, and saying that only the new rides are intense are mistakin'... we've had amazing ride experiences since the Zipper's invention in 1968.
  15. What do people think of you being an enthusiast??? Personally, most people are ok with it, but some people hate me for it lol. Sorry if this was already posted.
  16. Just a random question... Anybody wonder if people on gaming sites might be laughing at some of our comments, and putting some of us stuff on their versions of the "GP Comments" page?
  17. http://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=ZtHAk4NmWmt-TM&tbnid=GnLES66PJOZVUM:&ved=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnlund.com%2Fpage.asp%3FID%3D1491&ei=hcucUay2FsS1qgHb9ICwDA&bvm=bv.46751780,d.aWc&psig=AFQjCNEAzEfKCQNJhhqzVqt9ZXD5UEo5qg&ust=1369316515009392 How do I embed?
  18. What are some of the craziest things you've done in order to ride a ride?
  19. Originally picked the name for youtube, but stuck with it for TPR. The ultradude part was from a random username generator online, as all the ones I wanted to use were taken, and the 306 part... it's a ride reference that nobody on TPR can figure out so far ... Maybe some of our CANADIAN users can help figure it out (hint hint)
  20. No... ORIGONAL FOR LIFE! Do you like GCI?
  21. There's already a CW thread... U'll probably have more luck asking there
  22. Oh, sorry. Dont know how to embed, so I thought I'd post the link... Guess I copied the wrong URL. Sorry
