^Where did you see/heard this ? -
Worst Lift Hill View
booink replied to Coaster Curt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I know that thing dates from one year ago but that picture just made my day ! As for me I'd say Goliath @ La Ronde where you have an absolutely beautiful view on your left of a huge salt dumpster which they put on our roads during winter. -
Nightmare at Crackaxle Canyon @ The Great Escape, I've never been on it and I know it was just a simple Jet Star in a dark building, but I really wish I could have been on it.

Your kinda coaster
booink replied to Diamondbacker27's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My favorite would go to Hyper coasters, but usually I will "like" any coaster that is fun to ride and doesn't beat you to death. I like Flying, inverted, bobsled, Wingrider, suspended, etc etc. However I do NOT like stand-up coasters, but I think that's pretty much the only one I really don't hate. I don't think there's a magic recipe to make a great coaster, I mean there are some fairly small coasters that are sometimes better than gigantic rides. For example I'd take a ride on Maverick @ Cedar Point anytime before taking one on Millenium Force, even tough it's a third as tall and way slower (but it does look a LOT faster than MF when you're on it !!!!!!) -
What Brand/Property Needs A Ride?

I'm sure someone with enough creativity could turn Storage Wars into an arcade for theme parks -
What's your favorite Theme Park Souvenir?
booink replied to bert425's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My Cedar Point Fast Lane Wristband is probably one of my best souvenirs because a) I had been dreaming of going to CP for so long that my Fast-Lane counts as a souvenir and b) I never buy souvenirs at Theme Parks, so yeah a paper wristband that allowed me to skip the lines, (and it even had the MAVERICK LOGO on it !!!) is a great souvenir for me ! I also have a little personnal collection of TP crap like park maps and stuff like this, I'd say half from parks I've visited and half from TPR's bags-o-crap, and I really like to dig trough all these park maps, open up one and look at it and remember all the great memories. -

Guess this Coaster! (By the Layout)

I don't think I'll say what first came to my mind when I saw this -
Worst Coaster Layout
booink replied to SingleRiderCam's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ok maybe not the whole layout is crappy, but that inversion looks so odd ! -
Coolest station you've seen
booink replied to Eric_Smith's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maverick @ Cedar Point has a pretty cool western station, and there's also Expedition Everest @ Disney, but most rides at Disney are difficult to beat when it comes to theming and apparence. -
The first would be Aqualoops at Waterparks. Very scary. Number 2 is that thing : it' at Morey's Piers. From the outside it may look like your usual claw ride, but when you're on it, you discover the restraint is a simple lap bar and it goes, well, pretty high. I rode Maxair at Cedar Point this summer, and even tough it was pretty scary, it was no where close to the terror I felt on It'. There it is. Terrifying, right ? I saw a T-shirt in a souvenir shop that said "Try it', Ride it', Vom-it'" In my case it was pretty close to reality, thanks god I didn't really puked.

Most heavily themed theme park
booink replied to thrillrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Disney of course, but I have to say that I liked Cedar Point's Western section (with Maverick) pretty much ! -
You know you're a Six Flags park if...
booink replied to coasterdude5's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You know you're a Six Flags park if during very crowded days all trains but one are on storage tracks. (BTW : it may not be the case for every 6F, but my home park is La Ronde, and I heard SFMM does a lot of this too) -
^8/10, Simple but nice, and the Big Mike banner is pretty cool !
-
It's a photo I like that I took of The Great Escape's Canyon Blaster. It's also a coaster I like quite a bit; not a top 10 but it's fun .
