Photo TR: Japan and southern China

Great photos! I really need to get back to Canton Tower Do you know who the manufacture of that bobble tram is? I'm thinking about Chance because of the track style but couldn't find anything online. -
Embarrassed of parks...

Are you sure they're not just making fun of you? People here don't get why there are a lot to learn about this industry because they think it's simple and I'm wasting my time, by telling them something like that, they will get it. I haven't seen anyone making fun of me intentionally, that's probably an advantage of living in a country where amusement industry isn't as developed. -

My friends and family know how much I love roller coasters and we talk about coasters within a reasonable amount. What really annoys me is that some people, mostly those who mean nothing to me, think I'm only wasting money and time on meaningless things without actually search for what's important. To those people, I just throw a huge amount of technical terms to shut them up. I managed to impress a lot of GP in this way. -
I think Adam and Bethany would be the winners, just hunch. The new episode is really intense especially towards the end. Wrestlers are strong but not strong enough, especially with that speed bump ahead. I think dentists and surfers will be in the top 3, wrestlers and scientists will be competing for another spot.

I think Mega-Lite is pushing my limit, those twists are a bit too fast and the seats aren't as closed as those of Maverick. I twisted my waist during my first ride. But I still came back for 8 more rides because it's awesome. Maverick isn't pushing my limit, actually I was expecting more intensity from it.

Great photos, I guess the element following the first drop would be an Immelmann+wave turn combined element. -

Not at all, this is what makes us special. I'm so glad that I'm not into video games, cars etc that are "normal" hobbies, here being a roller coaster enthusiast is a really rare thing and people actually put me into the "cool kid" group. So I'm very proud to say I'm an enthusiast, but not in a "screaming at everyone's face" way. -

Watched Mockingjay Part 1 just now, I think it's good enough to justify the book. Can't wait to watch Part 2 next year!

I think Speed Monster getting ditsy under the walkway proved that this isn't gonna work. Why can't we have something good? -

Whether it will be better than Millennium Force or not, the layout already looks more promising than Trimviathan. It will be a fun ride for sure, just don't set the expectation too high. B&M still proved they can go forceful on Banshee and Parrot Coaster. Or Millennium Force just isn't that good to begin with... -
You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....

Coming in 2016, worlds first RMC steel coaster. That long straight drop will be replaced by a double downwards barrel roll or four insane drops... Just get the new trains, it's not like only Gerstlauer makes custom trains, if Six Flags aren't comfortable with hiring Gerstlauer again, buy trains from Intamin. Intamin is the train's original manufacturer anyway and those new multi-looper trains can work on Revolution with slight modification.
