Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
mightypotato replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I seriously cannot wait until May to ride this thing. Its going to be so good. -
The last show I saw was back on September 21st. Queensryche, Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath (with Dio). That show freakin' rocked so hard, I thought my spleen was going to rupture.

Favorite Arrow Coaster
mightypotato replied to CdnbMatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hands down, its Vortex at PCW. Short, sweet and intense. I freakin' love that ride. -
Got two pairs of jeans yesterday for about $85 or so. I also bought a new pair of ski boots for $150. Lousy money.

RCT2: TPR Theme Park

Oh man, I laughed HARD at "Jeff Johnson's Land of Credits". -
Photo TR: Nrthwnd's "104+ Shots" TPR Japan'07 Tour

I believe that "thing" in the background is netting for a driving range. There used to one like that in downtown Toronto. -

Former Paramount Park patrons...
mightypotato replied to bgwfreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah. I pretty much agree with that. There haven't been any noticeable changes in the park since CF took over. Wild(e) Beast still sucks, Vortex is still awesome and the Minebuster still makes me sad. Although, Dragon Fire has been running smoother for some reason now. No headbanging anymore. I don't know if CF can take credit for that or not, though. But yeah, woo Behemoth. -
Floorless Coasters: Just a gimmick?
mightypotato replied to RIP Psyclone's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The only floorless coaster I've ever been on is Griffon. And I really didn't notice the lack of floor, even when sitting in the front or on an outside seat. Well, except for the holding brake...that was cool. -
Poll: Favorite Style of B+M Drop
mightypotato replied to timetrial3141592's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Vertical drop, ftw. I am a fan of twisted drops like Alpengeist's though. -

Which political party do you belong to?
mightypotato replied to ScOtT k's topic in Random, Random, Random
I'm a member of Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP), which is our left-wing entity. Or at least they claim to be. Most of Canadian politics hovers around the centre, occasionally shifting left or right depending on which party is in power. Normally, I'll vote NDP, but I have been known to vote for the Green Party every now and then. -

Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
mightypotato replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I give the name a big "lol". It seems like its a direct slap in the face to La Ronde's Goliath. Like many of you, I'm not sold on the trains either. But, the true test of it will be actually riding it in May. I'm just satisfied that its a (seemingly) good coaster coming to Wonderland. Its about time. -
The Loop Virgin
mightypotato replied to magicjack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My first loop was on Alpengeist at BGE. I got the full run of inversions on that ride...immelman, vert. loop, cobra roll, zero-G roll and wingover. I figure you might as well dive into the deep end right away. -
That Batman is the stand-up that used to be at Six Flags Astroworld. Darien Lake is just keeping it in storage. I doubt itll ever be installed there...or anywhere else for that matter.

What is your next park?
mightypotato replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm probably going to hit up Canada's Wonderland sometime in the not too distant future. Maybe in 2 weeks or so...when I get a day off. -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
mightypotato replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
In terms of Canada's Wonderland, yes a new coaster is coming to the park for 2008. I've heard rumours that its going to be a B&M hyper (see page 4 of this thread, lol). But apparently, Morgan was asked to submit a bid for the project as well. Personally, I'd rather see a B&M hyper than a Morgan hyper at the park. Just my thoughts though. Oh yeah...and construction has kind of started. There's been a bunch of digging and whatnot.
