GAME: What's worse than...
BigBomer replied to MayTheGForceBeWithYou's topic in Random, Random, Random
A working Xbox one. What's worse than OTSR's on a Schwarzkopf? -
What's the worst station you've been in
BigBomer replied to tribar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Apocalypse at SFMM. It's really narrow and they cram it full of people, not to mention the station fly-by. In concept it's a really cool idea but I personally found it just annoying. The ride made up for it though! -

Photo TR: WFChris's Mexico Trips!
BigBomer replied to WFChris's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is the best TR I've read in a little while, Good Job! Mexico is very interesting, before I saw the updates on this trip I would've never even considered Mexico, now it's very high up on my list of places to go! -
Sad to see this today. Even sadder to see that more people cared about Paul Walker's death than Nelson Mandela's...

^I can easily say the old Rattler, another RCCA, was my roughest coaster.

The Official TPR Video Thread!
BigBomer replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Looks like a "one and done" kind of coaster. The bumps in the track look way worse than the other Knock-Offs, heck it even looks like they messed up the loop! -
^ On the contrary, Why does the weather have to be so horrible when I'm off?

How is that Premier's fault? The ride was designed without the need for seat belts. Six Flags decided to add them after the fact. A well designed ride would allow release of just a row of restraints, not the entire train's restraints. This adds to dispatch times because people don't listen to the announcement to not pull down the restraints. I'm not sure about the new Premier's but I know the old one's allow one car to release rather than the whole train.

I was sad to see Dario Franchitti retire today, especially because of the injury that he suffered in Houston and while I don't follow Indycar as closely as I do NASCAR, I appreciate all motorsports and he was one of my favourites in the sport, (perhaps because he was on the NASCAR circut at one point.)

Baseball and Roller Coaster Fans
BigBomer replied to yankeeman311's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I suggest 2 or 4. 4 seems to have the best park option and two pretty nice stadiums. 2 has two stadium that I highly recommend from personal experience in Progressive and Comerica, and I've heard good things about Great American Ballpark, not to mention that all three teams are pretty good. Plus 2014 is going to be a good year for Kings Island.
