Goudrix. Log Flume, or Rapids Ride?

There were actually 4 capitals. What is the height of the drop on Titan at Six Flags Over Texas?

After reading the last 5 pages of the SFMM thread, apparently Viper is a coaster that could really use a refurbishment.

They are stapled in place. If you look closely at the photo of the kettle chips sign you can see the little silver staples holding them in place!! Pictures of my lights?! . . . Maybe I'll start a thread in the random random random category for my light show!

A bit late, I know but... Fourth Visit Of The Season! (Okay, more like 11th visit of the season. But I haven't felt like doing a TR in a while, soooo yeah.) We hit up the park on labor day weekend. We weren't to worried about the possibility of the park being packed, we knew we would get to ride what we wanted, and then head out. . . Well that was almost the case. We got to the park, and we started with our normal rounds. Back row of Wildfire, then over to Powder Puff, the Giant Barn Swing, and over to Outlaw Run. We go to Outlaw Run, and we were headed down the Trailblazer line as a train full of happy riders came flying into the brake run!! As we approached the gate we noticed them unlocking the restraints, and making everyone on the train get back in line. They sent out the empty train to get everyone on the brake run off the ride. They then dispatched the train from the station, and left it sitting at the top of the lift hill, and left the other train sitting on the brake run. Not sure what was going on, but we left, and figured we do everything else, and then come back to Outlaw Run later in the day. We went over and did Lost River, Firefall, American Plunge, ate some food, rode Thunderation, and Fire-In-The-Hole, headed back over to Poweder Puff, which was now down. . . So we swung by Giant Barn Swing, and headed over to Outlaw Run. Well, it was still down and we overheard the ride operator telling guest at the entrance of the ride that it most likely wouldn't be open again today, but might open the next day. Not sure what was wrong with it, but when we were on the park train we noticed all of the maintenance men sitting around the second set of drive tires in the station. Anyway, so we headed over to the train, took a ride around the park, went back to Wildfire, got in another back row ride, and then headed out!! All in all, a pretty good visit, with the exception of missing out on Outlaw Run!! Oh well, there is always this coming weekend!! We also noticed that the park started decorating for Christmas!! (Thankfully it makes me not feel so bad about having to start putting lights up on our house this weekend in order to get them all done in time.) So I also took some photos of the the amount of detail they put into their Christmas light display!! Anywho, Enjoy the photos! We have arrived!! They will seriously put lights on anything. This will still remain one of the best settings for a roller coaster... EVER. There is so much theming everywhere at the park. Off to the baby making tunnel. The skillet food never gets old!! Oh dear god. What a line. Thank goodness for trailblazer passes!! I love that even Fire In The Hole's pet Dalmation gets its own name plate!! Off to ride Outlaw Run!! Little did I know this would be the last riders of the day. There she sat, all broken hearted. Oh wait, no that was me because I couldn't ride Outlaw Run!! I think that date is like important or something... The lines were crazy!! Again, thank goodness for trailblazer! I see you over there. Someone is about to get very moist. The lights are so perfectly aligned. I wonder if this is real... For those of you who were wondering... There's something important about this cave. Leather?! Lights... EVERY WHERE!!! I love the way they went to all the work to make sure the lights followed the waves of the flag. I wonder how many fuses they blow. . . Lights... Lights... LIGHTS!! It's a Double Shot! And a forceful one at that. A look at the construction markers. "E Coaster." That tall one in the back is new. These might be important to the people building the new coaster. The all new "Construction Sight Tours!" There is a new fence!! More people off to view the construction! Thunderation sure does have a lot of theming!! And the station is REALLY tall!! The least expensive "Build A Bear" in the world! The park train!! Lets take a look... Interesting. . . OMG. These are just as good (if not better) than the skillet food! Such a relaxing park. Even Wildfires sign has lights on it! Lights around the food signs! (Seriously everything has lights on it!) They are getting pretty high up there. I see more lights!! Pretty sure half the park missed Outlaw Run today!! (Because, you know... it was closed and all.) More lights. The lights never end... "We will be the last to let you down." The back side of some of the Christmas lights. A broken upskirt shot. They are in for a blast! Away they go! Going down!! Through the trees. (That takes talent) This is what happens when the entire family ends up on one side of the boat. Hard to see, but that entire thing is covered in lights. So much attention to detail when hanging the lights. I see some lights on!! Such a fun ride!! Any guesses as to what's next?? You guessed it!! The train! The park wasn't overly crowded. I see more lights!! Poweder Puff! Yes, that's an inversion. Ha! Poor Ma. More Powder Puff! Where Outlaw Run sat for the majority of the day. Going down!! That's a lot of moistness. Keeping the old around for theming. Wildfire doing it's thing. A "NEVER BEFORE SEEN SHOT" of Wildfire's loop!! <3 Damn sun. And I thought I was bad with how many Christmas lights I put up!! Interesting to know. This is where it all started.

^ & ^^ These are both exactly how I feel. I use to be one of those who were all like "OMG! Must go to x park to get x credit. . ." and such, but I realized that by doing so I was taking the fun out of the hobby. I wasn't enjoying myself nearly as much when all I was doing was trying to count credits. Now I go to the parks to enjoy the parks, and enjoy the coasters. Yes I still "count my credits" but it's only to keep a running total. I'm no longer planning trips just to get new credits, nor will I be riding unnecessary coasters (ie: Kiddie coasters) at a park because "OMG! I need the credit." With all that being said, I did go back through my entire coaster count to be able to answer the OP's question. And in response to the "true coaster credits" by taking out all of the clones I have ridden my coaster count dropped 23 coasters. Granted, I thought it'd be more. But eh. It is what it is. Now the real question is: Are we counting each side of a racing/dueling coaster as separate credits??

Interesting. . . I never knew i305 was a hyper coaster.

Such an interesting concept. I'm interested to see how this could be used on a full scale coaster.

How Silver Dollar City didn't make this list, I'll never know.

Because S&S does not stand for Suspended Stuff. Why hasn't Cedar Point already RMCed Mean Streak?

No. Do you like Christmas time at theme parks?

Complaints.

I've been on all of the: B&M Dive Machines in the US! Intamin Giga Coasters in the US! (And as of next month I will have been on all of the Giga coasters in the US!) Only Maurer Skyloop in the US! Yeah, that's about it.

Lion head. Skydiving or base jumping?

What?! Millennium Force isn't number 1?! Interesting. Makes me more excited for my trip to Carowinds next month. Can't wait to ride Fury.

Seats.

Thursday . When was the last time you rode an inverted coaster.

Which then caused all of mankind to...

Outlaw Run at SDC!!!

Then people couldn't complain when they install 15 of the same rides at different parks. What if breakfast wasn't a thing??

Granted. But it's the only coaster that ever gets built. Ever again. At any park. I wish I could go to SFMM.

8/10. Skyjump Las Vegas.

Karacho. Millennium Force or i305?
