I think "Product Review" is an awesome name for a coaster. -
Game: When was the last time you...
ytterbiumanalyst replied to onewheeled999's topic in Random, Random, Random
Baked some chicken about an hour ago. When was the last time you dusted your house? -
Okay, I super love Apple Zapple. That is awesome. As for Racer 75....eh, not in love with it. I do heartily approve of the de-Confederatizing of everything, especially near the Confederate capital. Loving Dolly Parton's Stampede too. So the answer is 152 years to the question "How long will it take the South to realize they lost?"

1. What is the best park visit you had in 2017? Three days at Dollywood staying at DreamMore. 2. Have you ever traveled to a park with a specific ride in mind only for it to be closed all day? Yes, Demon Drop at Dorney and Lightning Rod at Dollywood 3. GCI or Gravity Group? Pick one. Gravity Group. I've generally ranked theirs higher. GCI are always good, never great. 4. How many different parks did you visit in 2017? 12 5. How many times did you visit your home park in 2017? At least 20 6. What was the first RMC you rode? Outlaw Run 7. Best view from the top of a lift? Wildfire (SDC) 8. What new-for-2018 roller coaster are you most anticipating? Pick one. SteVen 9. RMC or Intamin? You can only choose one. RMC, if only because they're down less often. 10. What was your favorite new-to-you ride of 2017? Skyrush 11. Money is no object. You can travel to any park in the world right now by snapping your fingers. Where are you going? TokyoDisneySea 12. Have you ever made out with someone in a queue line? No 13. What is the last coaster that changed your top 10? Phoenix 14. Disney or Universal? Disney 15. When is the last time you witnessed someone puke at a park? Last fall someone puked on Outlaw Run and they had to keep that row empty for a few cycles after cleaning it. 16. How many new credits did you pick up in 2017? If you don't count, take your best guess... 55, and I'm very proud to say only 2 of them were children's coasters (Kozmo's Curves and Whistle Punk Chaser) and one was a Wacky Worm (at Lake Winnie). Two of those three I rode with my kids, and the third is Kozmo's Curves. So that's 53 good coasters. This was a quality AND quantity year. 17. You're at Magic Mountain. You have a one hour ERT session on ONE coaster of your choice. You choose... Twisted Colossus 18. Name a coaster or ride that you passionately dislike. Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis 19. What is the most amount of money you've spent on a Fast Pass? $145 on a Platinum Flash Pass at Six Flags Great America 20. Skyscreamers or Windseekers? Skyscreamer 21. What is your most recent B&M credit? Talon 22. Best adult beverage at a theme park? (under 21: whats your favorite beverage you can only get at a park?) I stick to craft beers mostly, so whatever's local. Best beer selection is CP's Brews and BBQ. 23. Most irritating coaster nickname/abbreviation? Any of the ones the CP fanboys make up, like Millie and Maggie. 24. Butterbeer or Dole Whip? Butterbeer 25. Favorite steel coaster *under* 100 feet? Powder Keg (98 ft.) 26. What's the best bathroom at your home park? The new one near Crossroads Pizza. It's big and always clean, and the closest one to Outlaw Run. 27. Nighttime ERT on Lightning Rod or all-you-can-eat Cinnamon Bread? You can only choose one. Nighttime ERT on Lightning Rod. I have cinnamon bread at SDC. 28.

Your favorite coaster got equipped with on board audio x Spotify. What's your hype track? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9D71pQaTnc 31. Name the most disappointing ride you took in 2017. Joker at Six Flags Great Adventure 32. Airtime hill or Zero G Roll? Airtime hill. Especially if it's sideways. 33. What is your favorite coaster/ride built before 1970? Comet at Hersheypark 34. What's worse - splashed by malaria lake flume water or dripped on by chain lift grease? Chain lift grease, unless the lake has actual malaria. 35. Name an Intamin coaster on your bucketlist! Hmm, I got to most of my bucketlist Intamins this year at Hershey and SF Great Adventure. I think the one highest on my list now would be Cheetah Hunt. 36. You just won a 3 day trip with hotel and airfare included. The catch is you have to choose between Disneyworld or Cedar Point. Which do you choose and why? Disney World. Cedar Point is within driving distance and there are cheap hotels around. Disney World has some awesome on-site hotels, and I've never been there. 37. Floater or Ejector? Ejector 38. What was your worst park experience of 2017? Dorney. Demon Drop was closed, and I was at Knoebels just the day before. It was fine, I had fun, but it was not at all up to par with the other parks on the trip. 39. Name your favorite coaster under 41 feet tall. Really wanted to say Pony Express, but I looked it up, and it's 44 feet tall. So I'll go with Skull Mountain. 40. End your post with an aerial shot of one of your top 5 coasters.

Definitely! I'm looking forward to it as much as the roller coasters. More than some of them. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
ytterbiumanalyst replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
When I went, there was a very friendly storm that conveniently rained lightly in the morning and cleared up by the early evening, so I got to ride everything several times. If you don't have weather control powers like I do, and still want that sort of day, then get Fast Track! -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
ytterbiumanalyst replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Awesome! Considering how much of a destination Hersheypark is, unlimited Fast Track can really help those of us who are coming from super far away. Yep, Fahrenheit's restraints are like the ones on Maverick. It's a really great ride experience. -
^ I'm pretty much the same. I'll have to let you know once I ride it, but from what I've seen testing I think it's going to be okay. Then again, I chose an avatar of "It's going to be okay" about a month before the 2016 election, and look how that turned out. I'm not good at predicting things. Really, you just need to get down here for Outlaw Run. If this one coaster turns out not to be your thing, doesn't even matter. SDC doesn't need a new coaster in any way. It's already one of the best parks anywhere.

Yeah, there are always those who will never be satisfied with anything less than a giga that serves fried chicken and gravy on the MCBR, but Hangtime really looks good. I can tell you from having ridden Monster at Adventureland these Infinity coasters are really good. This is going to be a hit, and the fact that this is replacing a Boomerang is...well, it's that gravy the fanboys wanted.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
ytterbiumanalyst replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, I still need to get to BGW, or really any of the Sea World parks. I think Brews & BBQ will be around for a while. There's always a lot of people there, and at $20 per person in advance or $30 per person in-park price, they're making a profit. Think of it like one of those ride upcharges, but with a super wide appeal and high capacity. It's got to bring CP a haul.
