Can we ask some question to water slide companies as well? If so: Proslides: You have changed the rules for water slides with your uphill launches on water rides. Do you plan on adding any more rides with these features in the upcoming years, and are you planning any other changes to the general style of water slides? It says "Ask Ride Companies A Question" so I guess that includes companies that don't necessarily make coasters.

MR: Can you tell us about the new additions to Europa Park over the next few years?

Those banks up ontop of the cliff look amazing. Sucks that with the Iron Rattler you won't get that authentic death defying sway of the original

GG: In several of your concept videos and pictures it is clear that you use NoLimits roller coaster simulator. What are the uses of software like this in the industry and how does it benefit you? Do you actually use this software used to get a basic idea for a coaster before it is actually developed or just to create promotional material for the ride?

I'm pretty sure that is Westin's La Cantera Resort. You are correct. We stay there or at another hotel intown every year during our annual SFFT trip to San Antonio. I rode the Rattler the week before it closed and I hope to go again next year and ride the Iron Ratter. Two years ago I got a room facing directly out towards the park. I might reserve the same room again for 2013.

The S&S launched coasters have some of my favorite looking trains of any rides. Extreme Rusher is quite a unique ride and it is sad that it wasn't operating. Even though this one was closed, you guys still got to ride the Bullet later in the trip.

Although we have a Blue-Ray player we still use it mostly for DVD's. Blue-Rays offer a much better quality over DVD's but seem to more expensive. Downloading is probably my personal favorite way to go. I connect my PC to the living room TV with wireless HDMI so I can play a large amount of videos that way. Downloading is also more favorable because of the ability to transfer it over to mobile platforms. I would personally go for Blue-Rays for their quality and downloading for convenience.

Wow, not even one page in and someone is already complaining! --Robb "Can we maybe have a ride announcement where people don't make stupid, embarrassing comments? Oh, wait... no." Alvey I wasn't trying to sound like I was complaining. I've just heard from some friends who live in germany that gripping the handles infront of the seat on Blue Fire could be somehwhat discomfortable. I've never personally been on Blue Fire myself so I can't say that for certain. I would love to ride this coaster and it seems like a great new addition to the park in 2014.

I'm not really a fan of the new restraints. It may be more comfortable for some passengers but I prefer smaller restraints.

Awesome! I may be able to make the Over Texas occasion. I'll have to see how my schedule will work out but I hope I can head down there for my birthday.

Can't wait to see more. I'm amazed no one died on this trip considering the terrible drivers and the rusty as hell coasters. Still seemed like it was a great time though. Hope you had fun!

Are we going to have one tonight? Last weeks was really fun. Also ^ if you didn't get my message I said I'd email you in a few hours cause I'm in class right now.

I must say the view from what was the Tital Wave at California's Great America is one of the best views of the ocean from any ride.

Considering coasters I've actually been on, the view from the Boardwalk Bullet at Kemah gives a really nice view of the Gulf. Although it isn't the prettiest view, I really enjoy how close the ride comes to the the ocean. Still one of my favorite woodies just because of its compactness. The Iron Shark just a short while away has a great view as well. Probably two of the best views of the Gulf of Mexico from a coaster.

For those who were asking about the Aviator incident I recorded this off of the evening news: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RKeILC9N7o

I remember a few weeks back when the Aviator at Kemah Boardwalk failed during operation. Literally started to tear itself apart while riders were still on it. I'm just glad no one was hurt.

Man that's crazy. I was just on one a few weeks ago. It seemed safe, but I'm glad they are taking the necessary safety precautions to keep this from happening again.

I would love another one next friday! I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's game. Can't wait to play again. Also any clue as to what prizes might lay in store for us next week? P.S. This is my random post! So hope I win!

If only we had a special round four :/ Good Job!

Was it a large park or a smaller one?

Crap a second too late! >

Alpine Bobsled at Great Escape? -Used to be in a Six Flags park -Before 2000 -Family Ride -New York

Does it have multiple lift hills/circuits?

Are there a large number of rides in the park it is located at?

Does it have a long or short ride time?
