When brakes bite hard

Mindbender and GASM at SFOG used to brake really hard, but now it's definintly bearable. -

Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
Her0ofLime replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Today I broke into Paula's car and uncovered that the new ride will be a next gen, first of it's kind, advanced.... 1,000 Ft. Intamin Airtime Machine Wacky Worm/Aquatrax Coaster This is an amazing development, and will shock the world. Like literally, the entire world will shake once it is complete. -
^ I think the new addition is pretty much just a wild card, there have been no clues as to what is happening, Ninja most likely isn't getting blown up, as it probably would have been announced earlier this summer along with Cyclone at SFNE and Collosus at SFMM. I don't really see a new coaster, as there isn't much room for one as of now. I kind of expect it to be like 2012 where they only added new shows. They could even stick with Holiday In The Park being the new thing.

What area really needs a theme park?

The entire state of Oregon doesn't have one decent theme park. -

Game: Careful What You Wish For
Her0ofLime replied to MayTheGForceBeWithYou's topic in Random, Random, Random
Granted, but just as the coaster announcements start you are shot back in time to now. I wish DarienLaker didn't tyranically take over the Destroy The Picture thread and the Word Correlation Game with constant mentions of Tony Hawk's Big Spin and other such stupid things. -
As I said earlier, while it is a Multi-Million dollar theme park, Busch Gardens has a budget. While great for us coaster enthusiasts, an Intamin Mega-Lite won't really impress the GP, but a dueling RMC wooden coaster with a one train upside down/one train right side up high five element will. The GP to coaster enthusiast ratio is about 99% to 1%, so I think a Mega Lite would be pretty much out of the question, unless Busch Gardens really wants to lose money. Plus, a dueling RMC would be amazing. (plus a high five element like that would be amazing) (please consider this idea RMC)

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

The Incredible Hulk - IOA - July 8th -
Okay, so, I can't find the time to email the pictures from my crappy phone camera to my computer, so I might as well just put some more info down. I went to the park July 3rd for the first time, and overal, the park was amazing. I would pay the full any day admission fee just to walk around this park. The feeling you get being there is amazing. I couldn't have cared less that Falcon's Fury wasn't open, because the park had so much other awesome stuff to do. I also thank the member of this site, netdvn, and Elissa, for reccomending me to use Quick Queue (I got the unlimited version), as the lines for most rides were stretching to an hour or more, and it helped a ton. REVIEWS Cheetah Hunt: First ride of the day. I hadn't experienced a launch coaster for over a year now, and this ride really reminded me how fun they were. Lots of good airtime, sometimes where you least expect it. Rode it 2x during the day. I give it an 8.5, as the ride is still quite tame. Montu: AMAZING! Super forceful, and it ran through those elements super quick. Batwing was awesome, zero-g roll was awesome, second loop was awesome, to quote the Lego Movie, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! Rode it 2x, and I give it a 9.0. Sand Serpent: This was the second Wild Mouse i've ever ridden, so the review might be a bit mangled considering i'm new to the whole lateral thing. Having rode the way tamer Technic Coaster or Project X or whatever you call it a few days earlier, Sand Serpent freaked me out, i'm not sure if all Wild Mouse coasters are like this, but this one slammed super fast into those curves, and the whole train seemed to tilt whenever we went through one. It's probably the difference between the big park model, and the small park model. Rode it 1x, I give it a 7.5 Kumba: This ride is the one i've heard being hyped up by so many coaster enthusiasts from this site and others, and after my first ride on it, I considered it overrated, but then the rest of my group was on Congo River Rapids, and I decided I would ride it again so I had something to do until they got off. I decided to go for the back seat, as that's the seat that is also hyped up, and WOW!! The ride is a whole different beast there. Super-forceful, super-fun, but sadly also pretty rough, especially through the zero-g roll and the corkscrews, i'm sure it was super amazing back when it opened, but now, it's in need of some TLC, and not the Honey Boo-Boo kind. I rode it (obviously) 2x during the day, and I give it a 8.7, as the ride, while still amazing, is pretty rough. Sheikra: This ride was the one that was also over-hyped, but this time by the GP. I was really freaked out by the premise of a dive machine, and the lift hill was torture for my nerves. But as soon as the ride was going down the drop, it was pretty boring. The dive loop had some okay hangtime, and the second drop was pretty cool, but it didn't really do much for me. I rode it 2x, and I give it a 7. Gwazi: Now this one was a PLEASENT suprise! Well, sort-of. The ride is super rough, horribly rough, even, but it doesn't hurt, and that's what made it a pleasent suprise, if it still had the PTC trains, it would've sucked horribly, it would have been extremely painful. But the Millenium Flyers have couch seats, so when it bumps, it's more like a bounce than anything, and my back isn't crashing against hard plastic seats, only comfortable cushions. The bug problem with this one is that it suffers from Mean Streak syndrome, and it is incredibly boring. A few pops of airtime here and there, but they are few and far inbetween. Therefore I give it a 6, and I rode it only once, I'll be happy if this gets removed. Air Grover: From the cramped seats to the boring ground helixes, this one sucked. I guess it's a kiddie coaster and I didn't expect much, but at least rides like Canyon Blaster at SFOG and the Arrow Mine Trains are fun. I give it a 4.0 and I rode it only once. Scorpion: A combination of it not being on Quick Queue, having a hour long wait, and having it be down nearly all day, stopped me from riding this one. Maybe next time. Now for a Screamscape worthy rumor, every time I asked an employee about the Falcon's Fury opening, I would always get the same answer, the missing part is estimated to arrive late July and the ride is to open early August. From every employee in the park I got that answer. It would have probably been unreliable if I got mixed answers. But it didn't seem like these employees were guessing. I didn't get an "I think" or a "uuuhhhhhh" I got a straight answer, so we have hope for an early August opening, I guess.

I was at IOA July 8th, and it was probably the best day of the entire month to go. Longest line of the day was Forbidden Journey at 45 minutes, which, considering the stories i've heard of two hour lines, was an AMAZING discovery once I found it out. I had only been to this park once before, and that was a long time ago, way before I started riding coasters. So I got a few really fun new credits and an entire memory of this great park, not one in bits and pieces. Favorite ride of the day was a tie between the Blue side of Dragon Challenge and Hulk, with Forbidden Journey at a close second. (being a newfound Harry Potter fan) I hope to go to the other park and see Diagon Alley in a few years when I get to go back. Was the best park of my Florida trip, with Busch Gardens in second and Legoland in 3rd.

One time in my life, I want to encounter pix of a pee family truckster, just so I can know what it is.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
Her0ofLime replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
wow. Thanks for calling my video pointless. If you don't like my stuff, then why do you watch my vids? You don't have to be mean and call something pointless. If you have a problem with it, then just don't watch it! Have you ever heard of a thing called learning from criticism? If he thinks that some of your videos are pointless, or have been done before, then try domething different! Plus, this post is completely de-railing the topic, i'm pretty sure you two could've settled this in a PM or something else. -
Just accept your fate, man. Everything will be full. Everything. Invest in a VIP tour. Yeah, I probably should have seen that coming many, many, miles away, like from Japan to California the long way around. What I will be doing is geting there opening time early, book it to Hogsmeade, do everything there that doesn't have a single rider line, then ABUSE the single rider lines. Like, abuse the single rider lines to the point where they're near dead.

The date we're going has now shifted to July 8th, and we are only going to IOA, hoping that most of the crowd will be in USO trying to experience the new thing, with some Hogwarts express passengers in Hogsmeade, leaving the rest of the park nearly dead. Now, granted, it is a day in a major theme park in July, WITH the opening of an entirely new thing. So now I am asking a new question. What were the crowds in USO around the time of the opening of Hogsmeade? I think both of the openings have about the same audiences (obviously), so I'm wondering if anyone bothered to go to USO in the previous Harry potter opening, and if it'll work almost vice versa. (Yes, I am taking into account there is a link between the two parks now)
