JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
ERT on pretty much all the things I hoped, just waiting on my bosses slow ass to see exactly how much time I can get off. That will determine whether I do KBF or not -

Knoebels Discussion Thread

I wont get tooooo excited, it has tested before, right? Still good news, the one POV I recall looked pretty sweet actually, bet it'd be a fun ride. Worth the 7 year wait! -

TPR's Taiwan Trip - Mini Updates!
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mentioned this on the YT vid but seriously guys thanks for the Gravity Max video. For like 10 years only knew the few pics on rcdb, maybe there was a crappy video once but so glad TPR got a great quality one on the net. Thing looks sick to boot. We need one in the states! -
The Official WEST COAST BASH 2013 Thread!
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah I was surprised how cheap a round trip was on United, this is great! Booking this Friday The bigger pain may be the rental car (making a trip of it and shuttling between San Fran and LA) at least I'll be 25 by then, should knock a couple hundred bucks off...those things are expensive! -
Knoebels Discussion Thread
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was gunna say is there ANY even slight indication of a possible opening this year? Yeah why bother? Well I want to get to Knoebels this year, because it's been way too long since I've ridden Phoenix and Twister. Sometime this fall maybe, and I just wont hold any hope of FT being open I guess -
The Official WEST COAST BASH 2013 Thread!
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Indeed! Especially with plane tix and rental car being well within my budget, surprisingly cheap. I was 99% on this trip, waiting on Robb for prices but now that I see how cheap it is overall, Im a definite. I cant imagine the WCB being terribly expensive Stoked -
Yeah, cant say the POV is terribly impressive BUT we all should've learned our lesson after Skyrush (but nah guess we'll keep judging too harshly before hand ) I'm not expecting much, so I can't be let down now! But it could be much better than it seems or a let down. Its doesnt look real forceful, but thats tough to judge (again Skyrush) if this is forceful it may be pretty sweet! The brakes, who cares? Its after the crest of the hill so if there is AT you'll already have had it. And ya know, gotta slow the thing down : P

Hope it's affordable! Ah screw it, of course it will be, just have to live in poverty for a month or two, or three, after! -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Went to Hershey twice this season (in 5 days actually) and gotta say despite initial worries, Skyrush is fine. It seems they slowed it a tad over the crest but the AT was nuts as ever. : D -

Pics looked awesome but the POV is even better. What a sick lil ride! -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sooo now that the season is under way: Has there been any difference in Skyrush? Its not like El Toro that has that turn before the drop, part of Skyrush's thrill was that speed right into the drop. If they neutered this ride too... -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Gatekeeper looks pretty sweet. So peeved that I missed the opening weekend AND my friends balked at the August trip.. Any chance of getting a trip together to CP this summer!? -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow so went from 2 CP trips to 0...thanks to a broken wisdom tooth + getting an apt faster than expected, I am tapped out. I gotta try and get there this season, gatekeeper looks epic!! -

JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, all I've heard is how Knotts is far better (and really is this a shocker) just Im trying to balance being a coaster nut, with seeing other people and Cali itself, ya know? Only got so much time and $$! I made the painful choice of just SFMM for the sake of coasters but well see! Plenty of time still, kinda, maybe I'll run into a bucket of money and can do it all -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
JJLehto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Actually I used to like MS!!! It's too tame now. It was always kinda boring but at least it was exciting when it was rough. I don't want it torn down though. As I said: Nice! From now on there will be one new verb: to RMC! Thank you Yeah I can't wait for opening weekend. Gatekeeper looks legit good besides just being a wingrider. -

Yeah now that weather is getting nicer and I have CP and Hershey coming in the near future I am even more stoked! Can't wait to finally see California and SFMM (and maybe Knotts havn't decided yet) -

Just RMC that bastard. I think Iron Horse is only reserved for woodies that really really need it. And MS is one! -
