Going to parks alone?
gerstlaueringvar replied to alilstronger's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I prefer going to parks alone when I'm not with enthusiasts unless I'm on family vacation. When I'm alone at a park, I go insanely fast for the whole day without stopping. When I'm thirsty, I chew ice cubes. In this way, I hardly spend any money which is exactly opposite of what I did at Silver Dollar City. Some of my friends and my cousins can deal with my park routine so we sometimes go to parks together. They say they have much more fun with me than with their family. But after a day like that, getting completely exhausted is nothing strange. -
Crazy Russian Coaster?!?
gerstlaueringvar replied to canadianparkfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Are you sure that is Intamin? I already heard that a bunch of time, but I found no official statement. Plus, Intamin doesn't fabricate their tracks, it's Stakotra. I think the later did the job on its own, and Intamin was not involved. But I could be wrong. I heard it from an ECC member, he was 100% sure about this. But finding some official statement about it would be really helpful. -

There's another one in Switzerland, but Intamin made so many modifications that the ride can be called an Intamin coaster now. -
The Official TPR Video Thread!

That final hit seems pretty serious Yes she's annoying but she would probably get neck injury. #neverinamerica -
Stand-Up coasters= A failed concept?
gerstlaueringvar replied to fraroc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Depends on which company made them. For Intamin, B&M and TOGO, stand up coasters are successful because they sold a lot of them and some of them are good. But for Arrow... -
Tower of Terror - How does it work?
gerstlaueringvar replied to Leekak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've only been on the CA one, it feels more like when S&S tower launches the car downwards. Slight ejector airtime that is not as intense as S&S towers but very fun. Is Intamin involved in this project? I saw a picture of a cancelled ToT plan that is even more complicated than the Orlando one, does it work similar to the Orlando one? Are Tokyo and Paris' ToT like the CA one or Orlando one? -

B&M vs Intamin
gerstlaueringvar replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
*cough* Standups *cough* Try 10 Inversion Coaster, you'll love Mantis afterwards. -
^^The train takes forever to go to the top and to stop. But given that FujiQ bought Dodompa and Eejanaika, they might not concern about capacity as much. I don't know how that tiny station can hold the 10 hours line. The ride pulls 6.2 G's and it exceeded Japan's safety regulation's limit which I think is 4.8 so that might be what caused the removal. Meisho coasters are generally not as rough as TOGO coasters from what I know.

Today's Burning Question!
gerstlaueringvar replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's all about personal preference, Disney's theming just doesn't impress me as much as what Maverick does. Maybe Tokyo Disney Sea can change that if I get the chance to visit. -
B&M vs Intamin
gerstlaueringvar replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think a lot of people put Intamin on their #1 spot but choose B&M coasters as their overall preference. Intamin made the best and the worst coasters yet the worst B&M is still not murder machine. -

gerstlaueringvar replied to etr102's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
But when a train stalls at the top, the park would need to make sure if there is anything on the track that's stopping the train or the train stopped because of the lack of speed. They can't simply put a friction wheel at the top of the top hat and push the train when it stopped. -
The Best Terrain Coaster

Outlaw Run! Terrain made the ride so much better. -
B&M vs Intamin
gerstlaueringvar replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Has anyone's attitude towards B&M changed a bit since Banshee opened? A lot of people seem to love Banshee and rank it very high up on their lists. -

I'm more into Cedar Point. I choose a better ride to good theme.
