Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
Angle O. Descent replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The lack of knowledge by the GP doesn't entertain me so much as the language they use to identify the rides. They'll rant & rave about "The Millenium Force" or "The Tatsu" ... it just sounds weird hearing it -

Relocated Older Roller Coasters
Angle O. Descent replied to Jackdude101's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'd say Phoenix is one of the few that has, if anything, gained historical significance after being relocated to Knoebels -
What is the best floorless?
Angle O. Descent replied to ddaver177's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've only been on five, all decent: 1. Griffon (if you count it) 2. Dominator 3. Hydra 4. Scream/Bizarro -
Roughest coaster
Angle O. Descent replied to jbuck's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Thunderbolt and Jackrabbit are amazing rides! Especially considering how old they are. How exactly did this "roughness" poll come about? It looks more like a list of oldest operating coasters if anything. -
I don't believe in riding kiddie coasters unless you have kids with you. I've been denied riding Jr. Gemini and Taxi Jam as a solo adult, and Kosmo's Kurves actually warns guests not to have two adults sitting together. If it's being discouraged, then I won't ride. Guess I'd better get on having children

What are your TOP TEN COASTERS
Angle O. Descent replied to ddaver177's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
1. El Toro 2. I305 3. X2 4. Maverick 5. Phantom's Revenge 6. Storm Runner 7. Xcelerator 8. Top Thrill Dragster 9. Millenium Force 10. Ride of Steel -
Mega-lites seem to be the enigma of the roller coaster world. If they ever come to North America, I simply don't see them coming to any corporate big-boy park like Cedar Fair or Six Flags. I imagine it would be a smaller pound-for-pound park with unique, quality rides. Some possibilities: - Dollywood - BG Tampa - Any Sea World - Knoebels - Holiday World - Silver Dollar City

What area really needs a theme park?
Angle O. Descent replied to let1gre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Biased Canadian here, but I'd like to see Vancouver get a theme park. Toronto has CW (Cedar Fair), Montreal has La Ronde (Six Flags)... SeaWorld British Columbia has a nice ring to it -
This year was everything I expected and more! 70 new coasters Here are some highlights of my new coaster experiences: - SFMM (Feb): had some amazing coasters, but Apocalypse really took me by surprise - Knotts (Feb): it was chilly and raining, so the park was dead, and we got on Xcelerator five times in a row and could not get sick of it - Hershey (Mar): only went on six coasters, but that was all we needed to go on... Storm Runner was awesome, SkyRush was not advertised to be running but it was! - Martin's (Jun): random day trip, didn't expect much, but Silver Comet was an awesome woodie! Really picks up the pace at the end. - Dorney (Jul): got to the park mid day, went to dinner, came back and it started P*SSING down rain and everyone left, but we didn't care so we changed into our swimsuits and went back into the park. 20 minutes later the rain stopped, and we had the park almost to ourselves for the entire evening - Knoebels (Jul): how cool is a park inside a small village??? Twister was good, Phoenix was great, even took the time to go on the carousel.. missed out on the ring toss though - Waldameer (Aug): I've been to Cedar Point nine times coming from Toronto, yet this was my first drop-in along the way. Ravine Flyer II was great, but Steel Dragon was surprisingly fun... every wild mouse-ish ride should be like that one! Only thing left for this year is Kennywood Fright Nights, looking forward to Racer for the first time

^ I agree with this one And I just wiki'd Goliath - correct, no B&M association at all, my mistake -

Goliath at SFMM made me grey out when I went on it, same with any large stand-up on the vertical loop -

100 Best Roller Coasters
Angle O. Descent replied to gisco's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
38 if you count Ride of Steel (DL) instead of Superman (SFA), Xcelerator instead of Stealth, and Bizarro (SFNJ) instead of Medusa. It'll be 43 after my Florida Trip in February.
