Rollercoaster doubts
michaellynn4 replied to Henry M's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is having a detailed knowledge of what constitutes a "hyper" coaster really going to help me get laid tonight? -
The issue simply boils down to how something gets stated in a discussion. Like everything, it all comes down to communication and the specific words that are chosen. "Blackbeard will be rethemed to Harley Quinn." <-- This implies fact. This implies this statement has factual evidence that can be readily supplied to support it. It could be a press release from the park, a leaked photo or rendering, permits listing the future name, etc. When something is worded as fact, then there should be facts that support it. If not: "I heard that Blackbeard will be rethemed to Harley Quinn." It's not this scenario that people are voicing dissent against - I agree arguing over a retheming on a family coaster is pretty stupid. The issue is larger than that and affects any topic, any discussion involving speculation. When something is worded as a fact, it should actually be fact. Wording rumor or opinion as fact is how bad rumors and misinformation gets spread. Excuse me, are you new to the Internet? MOST people won't know what he meant. MOST people are moronic mouth-breathers who'll repost and restate anything they see on the Internet regardless if it's true or not. Look at political discussions led by memes full of completely incorrect facts. The distinction is ABSOLUTELY necessary.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

I know this was intended as a joke, but Dorney Park already has a log flume far superior to STR. -
I don't really care too much about the headrests / not-replaced seats, but the restraints are disappointing. For clarification, my two favorite coasters are Skyrush and El Toro. I think that shows how much more tolerant I am of restraints that many others will decry as "painful". However, I just can't stand the current restraints on Bizarro / Superman. They get jammed so tightly into the middle of my thighs that I'm yelling out in pain at any moment of airtime.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Maverick is my second favorite coaster at Cedar Point. The nice mixture of positive G's, and negative G's is amazing. The second launch is fast, and forceful, and the fast transitions are amazing! I can't wait for 20+ new rides on it this coming visit! Read my edited post, bro... I don't speak this language. The original post is one of my favorite posts ever on this site haha.
