A LAUNCHED coaster with a 300ft. top hat with those trains built by Intamin. That's what we need at Carowinds! I'm sure that's what they're getting, too.

I think that mega-lites would probably be the favorite hypercoaster style ride under 200 ft., so no reason to keep them out if you want accurate results.

^ Both Giant Dippers are not very rough at all, and definitely neither are one of the 10 coasters in the world.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough -- Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

Then they have to pay for shuttles running all day.

^ Yeah, when I was there, a gust of wind or a drop of rain shut TTD down for sometimes hours, but still got a few rides in, we were lucky because it was a few very windy days while we were there.

I agree 100%. Sitting on the outside is just too brutal now, no audio and no fire but a somewhat smooth and enjoyable ride would be way better.

Sympathy for the Devil -- The Stones

I hope you're right, I'm expecting it to open in late June and I'm expecting Kingda Ka to be closed for the first few months of the season while they work on it. Label me a pessimist if you want but when June rolls around we'll see if the ride is open yet. I would hope it could be open by opening day or close to it.

A mega-lite at SFDK would really round out their coaster selection. Other than them, Michigan's Adventure would also be another great park for a mega-lite, why not both?

Eye of the Tiger -- Survivor

And even more exaggerated example is Intimidator at Carowinds. It only has a single helix between the MBCR and the final brakes. Don't forget the dip right before the helix, but i completely agree, the ride just shouldn't have a MCBR, its pointless. It's all for efficiency, they can run more trains with a MCBR, but I agree, it really takes away from the ride.

So much for Joe Flacco's franchise tag, what a move that was...

I like getting kiddie credits, but if it's going to be a hassle I'd rather ride my favorite ride at the park again than get my kiddie credit. But if it's going to take 5 minutes or less I do it because it wouldn't really take any time away from enjoying the park.

I just saw the Toyota commercial at SFMM, and it was pretty cool actually, though I didn't really get what they were advertising, but you could tell Scream needed a new paint job from quite some distance.

I'm wondering how much brain damage he's suffered from that beast.

CGA, been there at least 50 times. Then SFMM and Knott's.

I watched Insidious last night with my friends, and I have to admit, it was much scarier than I thought it would be. A bit hard to follow, but it was actually a pretty good movie. I'd recommend it to someone looking for a good horror movie.

Wow that took too long to figure out.

Cedar Fair Platinum Six Flags Gold

I think the only time fire worked for me was opening year when I rode it.

1. Millennium Force 2. I305 3. Bizarro 4. El Toro 5. Diamondback 6. Nitro 7. Leviathan 8. Goliath (SFMM) 9. Top Thrill Dragster 10. Behemoth

I know there are a select few people who find the name offensive, but does changing their name from the Washington Redskins to the D.C. Redskins change the meaning of the team name? The logo is till the same, which is the picture of the Native American, so it doesn't really change anything. If you're going to change the name of your franchise, actually change it.

Fat Old Sun -- Pink Floyd

I am going to guess that if they are broken, SFMM probably won't waste the money in trying to repair them. I think the park said in their Q&A at WCB 2012 that they actually have someone on staff full-time who works on X2's speakers. It's just an always-losing battle, but at least there are stretches of time where the sound does work. It's better than nothing. I think it's pretty random when the sound works. I've gone for multiple days and one day the speakers work and the next they don't. It's mainly luck on whether you're going to get to ride with the audio.
