Track Spottings!
Brassinthegrass replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If you need Adventureland I'm not sure if that's correct, all of their promotional videos and pictures are of a green track with yellow supports. -

I like the roll... It looks like one side will be more inline and the other will be more zero g... Either way, VERY SEXY! -

Windseeker would like a word with you. I wonder if this announcement is because of a deal struck at IAAPA. Perhaps something was on the table for a while and the park signed the dotted line in Orlando. I disagree, although that has AMAZING views (I rode the one in CW and can only imagine it at CP). A standard "mom with the little kids) wouldn't/couldn't go on Windseeker! This would be the same argument for Power Tower... -

Although removing the car ride is a possibility....mould we also see the first 600ft coaster being here as a polar coaster? We lost the space spiral for gatekeeper and only have the Ferris wheel right now.... Could be cool! -

That airtime hill looks like it's going to be intense... At least for a B&M... -
I'm not sure SFMM needs a giga... It seems kind of redundant to have a Giga and Goliath... I know the CW and Carowinds argument with both having a hyper and giga... But the reality is that they both have an airtime filled hyper and a speed filled Giga... Goliath is king of a mix of both; and at 255 ft, kind of sits in the middle.. I could see them building the first 400ft traditional, possibly on the south side of the property? How far out does the park own? SFMM is definitely a park I've been thinking about with their future, they have amost every style of coaster... It's hard to see what direction there going to go in...

I'm not more excited, but I am intrigued, there is a LOT of work going on with this new entrance! -
I have two When I was in high school friend of mine and I went to Six Flags great adventure and experience a park wide power outage during a torrential thunderstorm in which we were stuck on Superman: Ultimate Flight's lift hill for about ten minutes while they figured out if the had to turn on the generator to get us off the lift hill. I have to say, hearing everyone freaking out around us was kind of odd.. I knew we were safe since the ride operator was talking with us the entire time through the speakers on the lift... Then second was my own stupidity... Here is what happened at Quassy Park this past July:

I'm so excited I can say I have ridden both B&M Giga Coasters in their first seasons!! This thing is looking great, and with such a tall ride, the bottom lime green is really going to stick out all over the park... I can not wait to see this thing pierce the skyline!! -
Announcing "Skyline Attractions"
Brassinthegrass replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Since its a game, I'm sure it will be on the more expensive side, but it does look like a lot of fun... Just wish it was more of a free fall or something, rather than an elevator lifting chair... -
My father had the opportunity to take a helicopter ride around NYC taking off from Floyd Bennett Field, on their return trip they passed by Coney Island he grabbed these picture from about 800-1000 feet up! Hope you enjoy!! P.S. Don't make the vertical photo comments, he's not very tech savvy, so the fact that he got them is a moment in its self!

I have yet to ride any other Giga other than Leviathan, but I can say that it was a FUN ride... not extremely forceful, but definitly a fun, re-ridable ride. Im sure Fury 325 will be the same -
Adventureland Long Island!
Brassinthegrass replied to milst1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As promised, construction has started and so have the pictures on my drive home from work! Already within one week of work almost all of the track is gone and I'm sure that we will see the rest of the structure completely were both in the next two weeks, they seem to be working very fast! -

I wonder for going to see you complete re-design of the station since they have to take the roof off to put the new track in anyway... -
Me and my friends are nuts: Six Flags New England in Early June for our new toy. July Trip: Six Flags America, Kings Dominion, Carowinds, Dollywood, Kentucky Kingdom, Holiday World, Kings Island, Cedar Point, Kennywood. Im sure we will end up at Coney Island, Adventureland (Long Island) and Dorney Park a few times as well.

I don't know how I feel about this, I feel like a steam punk design should have a roller coaster that looks the same. The bright vibrant colors that they're using on twisted Colossus don't really sit well in the Victorian era steam punk idea... Maybe I was expecting something a little bit more "new age"
