There will always be that one person who thinks that all rides are unsafe, even if the manufactures and coaster types are drastically different. -

Better Theming or More Track
PalmTree55 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me, a coaster like USO's Revenge of the Mummy blows something like a B&M hyper put of the water. I prefer a mix of both, as I don't want a boring ride with fantastic theming. I love a fantastic ride, but if you combine the two, you might get something like Deep Space which looks awesome! -

I LOVE the idea for the Texas trip. It has soo many of the parks and coasters I wanted to ride. Two RMC Hybrids, Superman, Iron Shark, Boardwalk Bullet, etc... This trip looks like a fantastic value, and would love for it to happen. -
Longest - 3 hours for Intimidator 305 (Worth EVERY second ) Slowest - Nighthawk at Carowinds. One train running on Opening Day! Worst - Verbolten's Soft opening. Even though I was on the first train at the soft opening, I waited 2 hours in line not knowing if I would get on while fighting off line jumpers and people who though they had the right to step in-front because "they have been following construction closely".

First Defunct B&M?
PalmTree55 replied to 11slataus's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Vortex at CGA or at Carowinds. Stand-us are the WORST B&M coaster type that B&M manufactured and is operating. -

This. It would be awesome. I'm yet to ride Expedition GeForce, but Bizarro is amazing, and it would a great ride if manufactured by Intamin, but it would be pretty similar to Intimidator I would think. This is why we need this: And NOT this: I totally agree with you, but what about an Expedition GeForce type ride with inversions on a larger scale? Why not, I'm game for any intense Intamin, but I prefer a launcher since thats what we don't have. -

The rides aren't the same they used to be. Shame, cause Intimidator used to be an awesome ride! -

I think the new paint will look good, but it will confuse the heck out of the GP. I can see it now...... -
I love that they're building another Oasis Class ship, they're just awesome! I'll be on this in either 2016 or early 2017 for sure! Curious to see if we can see the difference 2000 tons makes or if it's just a tiny drop in the bucket. This is fantastic! Definitely going to try an be on the Inaugural sailing when it becomes available in the next few years!
