Arrows, Arrows, Arrows.....
DoinItForTheFame replied to tarheel1231's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My top arrow has got to be Magnum. Yes, it can be rough, but given the right seat, and NOT having your back up against the seat makes a world of difference. Magnum CAN be a great ride. It is by far my favorite Arrow coaster. -
I'm going to go with: Intamin for steel. Everything they have ever built seems to be, or have been for its time, ground breaking and amazing. They pushed the envelope in places others would not even think about going. RMC for wood. For the same reasons as Intamin. RMC has gone where no one has gone before. They have built some of the most amazing, breathtaking coasters I have EVER been on, and I can NOT wait to see what they are going to do in the future.

Hotgo Park in Fushun China
DoinItForTheFame replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well after watching the "POVs" of the new wooden coaster, I must say I have no idea what is actually going on with that coaster. I spent 98% of the coaster looking at the d@mn catwalks. I can not wait for Robb to get out there and make us a REAL POV!!! -
Best Drops....
DoinItForTheFame replied to BiCoastal Kid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I retract my previous votes. Currently my best drops go to: Wood: Outlaw Run. That first drop is simply breath taking. Steel: Top Thrill Dragster. The height, the speed, the twist, the lapbars... Simply an amazing experience. -

Looking back through POV's of Mantis the third trim was still on in March 2007 but gone in August 2007. So there is a time frame for you. -

One of our more recent trips to SDC was a very rainy day. Crowds were light and coaster were open, closed, open, closed, open, closed the entire day. We managed to ride Outlaw Run, Powder Keg, Wildfire, and Giant Barn Swing that day. Without fail it started raining each time we were on a ride. I think Outlaw Run was the best! There were so many points in the ride when it looked like the rain was falling up. In past years I've also been on Sheikra in the Rain, and MF. Not a fan of either of those in the rain. Wicked Twister however is a LOT of fun in the rain! Again, it looks like the rain is falling up!

Ride 'O the Past

I really miss the S&S "Sky Sling" rides. They were always such great fun. Especially when you got to pick the intensity of your ride. -

Parks that Don't Get Crowded
DoinItForTheFame replied to coasternate's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't know if this has changed over the years, but many years ago when I would frequent Kennywood it was never busy. But that may have changed in time. -

DoinItForTheFame replied to SFSTLMO's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Having only been on Outlaw Run, NTG, and IR. My vote goes to Outlaw Run! By far the best of the 3. -

Maybe Mantits will get the floorless conversion, painted new colors, AND relocated. That way whatever park it goes to will have an "All New Coaster" Probably not, but just saying... -
