The Official TPR Video Thread!
TroyWD98 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That looked absolutely dreadful! No wonder why it got demolished. I haven't been on Hades 360 but, out of coasters I've been on, it definitely looks worse than Ghostrider. -
Knoebels Discussion Thread

Just now noticed the coaster has an in-line twist, nice! Should be a great addition to the park, I really like how compact it is. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
TroyWD98 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Of course it doesn't.. I meant it goes faster than Rock 'n' Roller Coaster which is why I added that on top of that, there is a ride that goes faster than 90mph at the park being Superman EFK. -
Worst Coaster Layout
TroyWD98 replied to SingleRiderCam's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I definitely agree with this. The single airtime hill just gives a tiny bit of floater air at best and then once it it's the brakes, the rest of it is meh. I'd take an airtime filled hyper coaster from B&M or Intamin over it any day. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
TroyWD98 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
While in line for X2 last year, the lady next to me was telling her friends that she has been on the fastest roller coaster in the world, "Rock 'n' Roller Coaster" at Disney's Hollywood Studios. She said it went "90mph". Ironic that the ride we were in line for goes faster than that and on top of that, there's a ride at the same park we were at that goes over 90mph anyway (Superman EFK). -
Carowinds Discussion Thread

Apparently Eejanaika at Fuji-Q is 249ft tall according to rcdb and if that's true then the first raven turn inversion would have be over 200ft tall in comparison to the first drop (which would be a taller inversion that GateKeeper..?). I was always confused by this. It says X2 is 175ft tall with a 215ft drop so I'm not sure if you count that or not. But yeah nothing else over 200ft that I can think of... unless you wanna go wayyyy back when Son of Beast had the loop! -
B&M Wing Rider Coasters - Love or Hate?
TroyWD98 replied to jfruge's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm in the middle on them. After riding X-Flight, I knew what to expect for GateKeeper pretty much and neither one of them gave me a "must ride this again right this second" experience like Maverick did. They're good but nothing amazing. It's pretty much the same feeling I get with all the B&M coasters I've been on so far. -

The Official TPR Video Thread!
TroyWD98 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nice video. Does this coaster make it near the top of the list for most sketchy roller coaster experiences? -
The Official TPR Bag of Crap Thread!
TroyWD98 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is my first time ever looking at this thread and I'm amazed at the amount of things you give in each Bag of Crap! WOW! It's like the perfect gift for a theme park enthusiast since it comes with maps/souvenirs from parks all over the world. I think it's awesome how you guys do this, keep up to good work on putting smiles on peoples faces. -

The Official TPR 2014 Tours Thread!
TroyWD98 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Deposited! This is the perfect trip for me. It's in my price range and I haven't been to any of these parks plus it includes some coasters that are definitely high on my Bucket List! (El Toro, Phoenix, Skyrush for starters) -
What are some loud rides and coasters?
TroyWD98 replied to JFrombaugh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I always plug my ears when walking under Superman: EFK at SFMM; it's significantly louder than every other roller coaster I've been on. -
Where Are You Planning To Go In 2014?
TroyWD98 replied to azza29's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ones I've already been to: - Six Flags Great America (Goliath ) - Six Flags Magic Mountain - Knott's berry Farm and maybe Cedar Point again New ones: Six Flags New England Tivoli Gardens Liseberg I'm actually going to Scandinavia this summer (ironically like TPR) on a cruise but it isn't by any means a theme park trip. My parents just said that Tivoli Gardens and Liseberg are both convenient and we can spend a half day at each one. I wanted to go Djurs Sommerland but I don't think I'll get that chance unfortunately. -
