^ And on top of that, if it does happen, that means no more need to go to Shanghai Disneyland!! -

Love that shot over the first drop to show how steep it really is! -
^ Explorers Lodge is so cool! Lots of excellent storytelling and not to mention two amazing restaurants. Dragon Wind is the kind of premium dining experience you would expect from a signature restaurant at WDW, quite possibly the best Chinese restaurant by Disney. World of Color is beautiful and has some of the best fusion/creative food items I've seen, such as a shrimp rice roll with lobster foam.

The ones I've stayed at: 1. Disney's Hollywood Hotel - HKDR (because I live for Art Deco) 2. Arts of Animation - WDW (because it’s not All Stars) 3. Toy Story Hotel - SHDR (Very nice, but somehow felt a bit off) 4. The All Star crap - WDW (because it’s All Star) Otherwise: 1. Hotel Miracosta (My ultimate goal is to stay there and not cry) 2. Animal Kingdom Lodge (because I can’t afford it) 3. Grand Californian (because I really can’t afford it) 4. Disney Explorers Lodge (because it’s kind of like Animal Kingdom Lodge)

SFNO/Jazzland Discussion Thread
gerstlaueringvar replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Honestly, what's the point?? With a layout like this: All I can see them doing is removing the lift hill, putting in a launch, and a "high-g" turnaround to head it back towards the loop. . . I can't imagine that the investment would even be worth it. Why not just scrap the ride and build something else?? Idk... maybe it's just me... But I don't see any of this ever actually happening. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I Have a reason to be excited for the new version of the Jester, that reason being that it's a Vekoma Hurricane. Vekoma's Hurricane Model only exists in 2 Rides and the Jester is currently one of them, it could be a great perk to be earned just you wait Yet the layout is most likely the reason why only two of these were sold. -
Another thing, go alone! I was at Shanghai Disneyland's grand opening. While I wasn't the first guest to queue outside of the gate, I was the 4th official guest to enter the park ever. I was nowhere near the front of the line when I was camping outside at 5 am as lots of Japanese guests have been camping out since 10pm the day before. But when they were entering the check point and getting their tickets processed, I was able to bypass all of them since it took me 10 seconds to get everything done. Might not work in every case but I tend to find that if you want maximum efficiency, going alone is always the best choice.

All the RMC’s made it except for Joker and Goliath. Wow. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

The center of gravity is slightly shifted towards the front of the train making it less likely to valley. The dummies at the front are already heavy enough to simulate the weight of a full train or enough to make sure the train maintains its speed better. -
Most of the time coasters don’t have to be cracking people’s top 10, nor they are trying to do so. While I’m one of the 3 people in the world that prefer Intamin ZacSpin over the S&S model, I do like how on the S&S you can adjust your own flip. When the GP figure that out, the ride would have a high re-ride value. I can see more GP re-riding an S&S Free Spin than say El Toro or Sky Rush. Plus these rides are super cheap and requires less maintenance.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some of the best sign designs I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing! -

Same velocity, the lighter train would have lower kinetic energy than the heavier train. Of course it would slow down faster. -

The color of the logo makes it look like a roller skater for some reason. -
