Of the inverts i have been on I have enjoyed Banshee the most. Afterburn and Montu close behind. -

I remember learning about dragster before any work had started. It was my first visit to the park my best friend and i were waiting for a slide in the water park geeking out about MF and how tall it was. The lady in front of us over heard us day dreaming and freaking out about this place. She said imagine a Coaster 100 feet taller than MF right in the center of the park. We geeked out some more and she told us it would be over 400 foot and over 100 mph. We couldn't believe it and didn't until the announcement happened. She had said she was married to one of the maintenance guys are they were gearing up for the build. This was early June of 2002. I had just turned 15. -

I feel like if those are things you find to be rude you may live a sheltered life. Those all sound pretty standard. -

I have always liked MF and never thought of it as forceful ride, However last wear we went and i was just getting over a pulled muscle in my back. we rode everything multiple times. MF was the only one that had me in pain from the forces on it. Odd right? i now laugh a little bit whenever anyone calls it Millennium Forceless. (just a side note i have to throw in we have a daughter due in November her name is Millie and yes for the reason people here should think.) I loved the report. If it is well written it doesn't need pictures. Question about the VIP, did your host hold the loose articles for you or did you still have to get a locker?

And to think a simple break has caused a season long debate. I thought we only got this stir crazy during winter. oo well. I look forward to my next Voyage ride. With or without it being trimmed. -

To be clear for anyone who may think i dislike Raptor because of the jolt at the end that is not the case that last bit just frustrates me on the many re rides i do on it each day i am there. I just cannot seem to place myself correctly to not bang my head for that last bit. Also i don't complain about B&M being force less. -

I never said anything about a dark ride. Anyway that Raptor jolt makes me want to punch a baby. -

GK leaked at least a week early... I remember looking at the CAD drawings that were leaked at least a few days prior to announcement. It was not the night before. Same thing with Banshee. . I was referring to the pictures of layout and website. That happened the night before. -

It's really not that difficult. Kings Island did it with Banshee though to a lesser extent. -

I've never had a problem with the vest and find them more comfortable. headbanging can F off though. especially that final jolt on raptor. I have read through a good majority of the discussion since the leak and i almost feel as if this is too easy. Gatekeeper didn't slip until the night before. This a full week early plus the thing in the Sandusky Register over the winter. It almost feels too obvious. I'm fine with it being a dive machine and i would be happy to ride it but i just feel like this is all some kind of deception. If it's not so be it that would make me wrong and they need to hire someone capable of keeping their plans under wraps. -

It seems he has blinders on and his park can do no wrong. Any who, how is the ankle doing? -

Avalanche's LOOPING Vertical Drop Water Slide!
Ape replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah that's not a tornado. I'd ride this. If i was a park owner i wouldn't want to buy one because capacity would be horrendous. This slide does look fun though. -

You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....

It's not a roller coaster and i swear my 2 year old son is on there with me. My family finds this picture hilarious so i made it my FB picture. -

I'll wait patiently for the announcement. I however am having trouble being patient waiting on the merchandising person to call me back about the coaster dynamix Millie. It's been 5 hours. and today is a slow work today for me so i am bored. edit: Nevermind they called back. -

Or you could see it the way I see it and think out of the box a little. Use these as a short transportation slide to other areas so people don't have to walk on concrete as much
