  1. Coaster: 1. Outlaw Run SDC 2. Maverick CP 3. Viper SFGAm. Non coaster: 1. Superman SFOT 2. Drop Tower SFGAm 3. Giant Swing SDC
  2. This thread is the best place to look for jokes when going through a tough time. Thanks for making me happy
  3. Let's just hope it would be a temporary thing. Actually I think SFOT was way better than SFMM. About coaster/ride choice, I think SFOT also wins SFMM. Shockwave>Revolution Titan>Goliath for Helix-O-Death Judge Roy Scream>Colossus Mr. Freeze>S:EFK (it's hard to compare these two though) Batman=Batman NTaG>Possibly everything at SFMM But Lex Luthor beats Superman.
  4. Oh no! Porsche runs as rough as Vekoma? Everybody go get a Farrari!
  5. YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Vine are all good. But Tumblr and Vine have age restriction...
  6. Fireball as in Wooden Coaster Fireball? What the heck are you going on about? It was rated 11th best wooden coaster last year. Yes, Fireball was awful rough when I rode it. The angle of the drops can certainly be a lot more. HVSh put a lot of money on maintaining the ride and I've heard they are tired of the ride.
  7. Ocean Kingdom is in Southern China, air quality is not a problem there. The biggest thing about these Chinese parks is that labor and resources are cheap enough to make the giant buildings and thematic buildings, yet they are never designed well. Sure there is a mountain range, but there is no means to address sight lines or any attempts to really "transport" you to a different time and place. I do think thats a problem with all these "theme parks" across china is that they are trying to imitate a Disney Park rather than Disney who tries to imitate a real location, culture, etc. Totally agree! but hopefully Chimelong can be an exception since they haven't built a real theme park yet. Chimelong Paradise is more like Magic Springs while Ocean Kingdom is more like a Sea World park. Not to mention that Chimelong owns one of the best zoos in the world next to Chimelong Paradise and they put a lot of effort on animal protection just like Sea World. I think they can do well in this park and won't let it be like those crappy Happy Valley parks.
  8. We need a cinnamon bread disgussion thread! While searching for coasters, I just can't help staring at the picture and the video for a long time!
  9. California Screamin's trim before the bunny hops. Why did Disney go with Intamin if they did not want airtime?
  10. ^^ Didn't SFFT just got a new RMC? SFFT is not a major park but they owns a RMC! I think it would be ok for them not to build a major ride in a couple of years.
  11. That doesn't need a refurbishment or improvements. It overdue for a wrecking ball! Out of the woodie's i've been on it's: The Boss - Iron Horse Mean Streak - Iron Horse The Bandit - retrack, work in progress... Robin Hood - retrack, maybe Topper Track with the new Vekoma/RMC deal. Others are not to be saved, or are overdue for a wrecking ball. RCCA mostly! Wrecking ball... They deserve Miley!!! Judge Roy Scream: retrack Apocalypse The Ride: retrack Fireball: Iron Horse CP'S Blue Streak: retrack
  12. I can imagine the ultimate screaming by the kids and some teenagers when they see the Minion attraction. Minions are very cute, but are they really THAT cute?
  13. For some strange reason, I dreamed to go to Efteling so much since I watched Vliegende Hollander's video especially the construction one. Seems like the park likes to put huge amount of money into theming. Wow it looks fantastic in the snow!
  14. SFOT. Even though they are terrible in 2013, they still need a new major coaster. But NOT a B&M wing rider! Probably an Intamin Blitz would be perfect.
  15. Can't imagine how impressively huge it looks in person. Wow!
  16. Giovanola also has a lot to do with Intamin. So 232 is the tallest non-Intamin coaster. Then I suddenly remembered that B&M used to work at Giovanola...
  17. Wow B&M is competing with Gerstlauer on records!
  18. ^ Since Excel is widely used in the industry and I personally think it's not hard to operate it, does Vekoma use worse computers than Intamin? Glad to know it, now I think I have to google some useful functions to calculate the G force instead of testing my coasters on Nolimits.
  19. I was imagining after a couple of years, KI start to play One Direction's songs
  20. Hades360's cat walk on the new section scared me a lot, just felt too close to the train.
  21. Why do I think that BlueFire and Lightning Run's lead car look like Fujiyama's first car so much? Great pictures as always!
  22. Every woodie at the Dells! While the best solution for Hades is to tear it down. Also, Cyclops needs a 7-8 cars train lol
