Yup. Just confirming what I said in the Six Flags Development thread about how Six Flags has spoiled the concept of amusement parks in the public's mind and how new developers have to fight against it. It's all about providing an all-around wholesome and worthwhile experience, not sucker punching guests with hidden costs and making no effort to actually help people have fun. I'm so glad they're modeling themselves after HFEC properties instead of going for the low-hanging fruit. If parks are all like SDC, actually I would miss something like SF parks. Herschend parks and SF parks are both needed for the market. Sure SDC has Outlaw Run that the majority of Six Flags rides cannot compete with, but Six Flags can put huge new coasters year after year because they can put nearly all the money into buying new rides. With the amount of theming on Outlaw Run, I think SDC can buy two naked RMC coasters in three years. Texas currently has two SF parks but no SDC level park so that's what the state needs. Now what the world doesn't need is Happy Valley park.

Hotgo Park in Fushun China
gerstlaueringvar replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm actually excited about this What's happening to me? FuShun is way too far from where I live, in fact, I do t think I would have any excuse to go over there in recent years. Hopefully some coaster communities will have someone to do a coverage of this ride soon. -
How do you watch YouTube?
gerstlaueringvar replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I watch 99.9% of YouTube videos on my mobile device, I do nearly everything on my iPhone and iPad. TV is not a necessary thing in my life and I only use computer when doing tests and using Nolimits. Plus only my phone and my iPad have VPN to escape the Great Fire Wall of China. YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr etc cannot be opened on computers, even TPR cannot be accessed for a few hours every day. I watch playlists if the videos are interesting. As of now I only watched a few playlist about roller coasters&flat rides history and some background music. I watch most of my videos from my subscribed list, but I check popular page and social media shares as well. That is how I started browsing BuzzFeed. I share YouTube videos on my social media roughly once every two days. Comment is not really my thing for YouTube, I think I only commented three times in the past years. -

Both have B&M Dive Machine Europa Park and Cedar Point -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
gerstlaueringvar replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Please explain to me how this is a new credit. If this is a new credit then Batman backwards is a new credit and rides like the Giant Dipper in California have been like 4 different credits throughout their history. Also how many people have both Sheikra credits from before and after it's floorless conversion? For my own definition, it is. I would count namtaB as another credit if I have a chance to ride it. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
gerstlaueringvar replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Rougarou's logo reminds me of this Not a fan of the new color but at least CP is doing something everyone saw at the beginning of the teasing to save this horrible ride. New credit for sure! -
What song are you listening to?
gerstlaueringvar replied to Mr.Six's topic in Random, Random, Random
Anaconda. I think KD Anaconda is better than this song. -
Rough? Are we going on the same ride? I've never been on it when it wasn't typical B&M smooth as glass. I haven't ridden in the back in quite a few years, so that might be a little different. Also... it's funny that people are saying it's rough, considering it shares a park with VIPER and X and (formerly) PSYCLONE, which are some of the jerkiest rides I've ever been on. I haven't been to the park but I suppose people don't compare a B&M to a rough arrow as they were never expected to be in the same league of smoothness, right? A bit off topic, but I did compared Hair Raiser and Dragon. Dragon is much smoother. Also, CP Corkscrew is smoother than Mantis. I can brace the most massive lateral bouncing but vertical shaking is absolutely horrible. Scream is pretty nice when I visited SFMM, it was my first forceful B&M. It wasn't as smooth as Batman or even Riddler but definitely was better than some newer B&M's. Scream in a parking lot, are they trying to remind us of the parking lot shooting?

Current B&M cannot bring the 1990s B&M feeling back on Drachen Fire IMO because Werner Stengel isn't working with them anymore. Some Gerstlauer coasters give the snappy transitions like the old B&M's so I think Intamin or Gerstlauer can do much better than B&M if they are bringing Drachen Fire back.

The Official TPR Video Thread!
gerstlaueringvar replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Intamin Blitz coasters are too fast for riders to appreciate the detailed themeing. What's the difference between the old one and the new one except for more themeing? I didn't follow this project. -

Which RMC is your favorite? Poll

Outlaw Run even though I thought the positive G can be much higher than 3.8G's. -

Parks that Don't Get Crowded

Hong Kong Disneyland. Compared to its mother in California, Hong Kong Disneyland is more of a place to relax.
