TR: Chimelong Ocean Kingdom With FOTR POV!
gerstlaueringvar replied to gerstlaueringvar's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Don't have another thread to post these photos so... Polar Explorer just added fog machine. Looks amazing! They run 10 cars on this without stacking which is REALLY rare for a Chinese park. FOTR runs two trains without stacking, Walrus Splash runs six trains without stacking. And I heard from the park that the water on EVERY water related rides are changed continuously. Chimelong bought the world's best water purification equipment from (I think) White Water. Chimelong didn't disappoint on this park. Last Saturday the attendance was around 56,000 and the income that day was around $13 million. Wonder if Kings Island had more attendance and income that day. I assume Ocean Kingdom could break the record of Magic Kingdom on annual visitor attendance? We'll see. -
Anything from Justin Bieber, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke or any famous song like Gangnum Style after released for two months. Once I heard they played Harlem Shake three times in a row at Chimelong Paradise after the first video released for 6 months. I didn't even feel like riding any coaster that day.

^ Or both. Vertical chain lift launch. I think coasters with inversion already means not very family friendly. GP would never know that GateKeeper is as thrilling as Woodstock Express before they ride it. So I think a Mega-Lite type ride would be great. Knott's needs a steel coaster that provides a lot of airtime, thrilling enough while doesn't look that thrilling for family. I can imagine the look on face of the kids getting off an Intamin Mega-Lite

You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....

1. Whenever you see certain numbers like 305, 456, 153, 81, 121, 149, 4265, 14, 4003, 169, 6.5 etc, you can relate them to certain coasters. 2. If you are matching them with certain coasters. 3. If you know 305-i305, 456-Kingda Ka, 153-Outlaw Run or NTaG, 81-Outlaw Run or iRat, 121-Takabisha, 149-Formula Rossa, 4265-Wildfire, 14-NTaG or Smiler, 4003-Expedition GeForce, 169-Expedition GeForce, 6.5-Thriller. 4. If you got the majority of them right. 5. If you did some research on RCDB and found Expedition GeForce is 173.9ft tall or you already know it. -

^ Well in America, you guys get i305, MF, TTD, El Toro, Texas Giant, Iron Rattler, Montu, Alpengeist etc etc. Parks focus on different things I think. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

^ Forgot to say, I was talking about a Maurer SkyLoop when I said this idea. The transfer track would locate at the spot with the highest G force. Your idea is very great, but still could be very easy to get rough IMO. I'm thinking about putting the transfer track at the vertical section, which means three tracks parallel to each other. -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
gerstlaueringvar replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
i used to have that idea and thought it was fantastic. When I said that idea at Magic Springs during last summer's TPR tour, a few members pointed out that the connecting part would get bumpy after years. Maybe something like this could help? Not sure how it would work under the pressure of 6.5G's and 130mph though. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

Someone visited on Saturday said the fasted Banshee dispatched he saw was 38 seconds. Is that even possible? Even Bluefire and most German carnival coasters take more than that. -
^ Agree 100%!

^ That must be terrifying for the ride ops. Good thing for the riders though. -

Besides the Darien Lake thread, I've heard multiple people said Boomerang needs to run two trains. -
Things like NTaG accident, Shockwave issue and STR accident happen right before a huge coaster tour and the park chain shut down a similar ride just to show they care about riders' safety. I also think that Six Flags immediately shut down all their rides related to Gerstlauer somehow gave Gerstlauer a bad reputation.

^ Could be a huge Top Hat with 4 seconds of ejector air.
