TR: Chimelong Ocean Kingdom With FOTR POV!
gerstlaueringvar replied to gerstlaueringvar's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Actually the parking space ran out at around 11:00 a.m. so you can't even enter the parking lot after that. But to tell the truth, even though the crowd looks terrible, wait time is really not bad thanks to Chimelong's efficiency and management. If this park is run by OCT, I'm sure FOTR would run one train and the wait time would be around four hours instead of 40mins. -

Best Compact Coasters
gerstlaueringvar replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mega-Lite: I guess no explanation is needed Poltergeist: intense and out of control. Batman clones: forceful all the way to the end. X-Flight: While I'm not a wing rider fan, this one is a nice compact coaster. Whizzer: Uncle Anton goodness! -

Is that the reason why the entrance was on fire? -

Great TR! Ocean Park is a beautiful park. Two new credits had opened since my last visit, can't believe I haven't make it back even though it's only a two hours drive, maximum. -

I've never heard anyone complain about headbanging on any B&M invert at any park, anywhere ever. SFGAm Batman, SFFT Goliath, Raptor CP during Cobra Roll. -
I mean Arrow's roughness plays a big role on the history of roller coasters. Making them glass smooth is disrespectful to the history although most Schwarzkopf coasters are as smooth as new coasters. Roughness makes Arrow coasters what they are. People hate rough coasters, I hate rough coasters as well that someone already said I magnified how bad Hades360 is. But when all rough coasters with old technologies are gone, we will miss them. It would be terrible if the sound of Arrow anti-rollback dog, the feeling of the train banging between the tracks, the coat hangers, the triangle airtime hills, the unheartlined transitions, the loud brakes, etc are gone forever and all coasters are using silent chain lift, LSM, magnetic brakes, hydraulic restraints, sand filled track, glass smooth transitions with perfect heartlined track, little to no lateral G's. The world needs the remaing Arrow coasters! Intense or not, they represent a big step in the roller coaster history and they need to be remembered.

^ I go to HongKong frequently, shouldn't be a hard thing to get the Visa. Let the Lunar New Year tourism tidal wave pass and you can enjoy a not-that-packed park. Plus, Walrus Splash and Polar Explorer will open on March 1st. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

It's 2014, not 1992. I think 2014 means more comfortable, not more pain. Wing riders are truly painful for me when the vest harness keep tightening. Their 1992 style restraints, while is a bit old, worked well on a lot of their rides after 1992. But since Banshee's harness were confirmed not locking and had already been said 1,000 times in this thread, I think this would be an improvement.
