The "Pleasant/Unpleasant Surprise" Thread
willthegolfer replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I'll second Viper at SfGam, I was not ready for some ejector air in the back seat. Worst: Ghostrider, going in to the ride, I actually thought it was going to be good based on a review from 2002. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

That guy is a rather prominent SFMM fanboy troll. I doubt he's really like that. I certainly hope so, that makes much more sense. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

On the TPR Intimidator 305 video (first comment I saw), it's not the GP, but I laughed when I read it. "As a real coaster enthusiast, I am saying that this ride is a terrible and lesser coaster. And as I'm still a real coaster enthusiast, if anybody is planning to ride this mess, ride Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain instead because it's not a lesser coaster and it is in a park that is not dirty." -

The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
willthegolfer replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That seems like a pretty good idea. I think the only problem would be that the signature DC themed ride, B:TR, would not be in that section. What about transforming Yankee Harbor into Gotham City (rename V2 Mr. Freeze or something like that), and transforming Orleans place into Metropolis, or something Superman Related? -

Technically the height limit is 125 ft, but the park can request to exceed that. The absolute height limit is 330ft due to the park's proximity to Waukegan airport. I think the reason they didn't go for tallest overall is size. To break the record, it would have to be around 200 ft, which would be extremely difficult to fit in that space.

The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
willthegolfer replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Why would they turn Green Lantern into a floorless when they have Bizzarro? I was thinking of that layout, but it wouldn't have to be at SfGadv, it could be anywhere, like SfGam (hopefully). -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread

Here's my current theory, take Green Lantern at SfGadv, take out the standup trains, add floorless trains, and replace the inclined loop and hop twisty thing right after it with a Zero G Roll. I think the floorless trains could handle that layout. -

Granted, you design all the creations for the Recreational Music Center in San Diego. I wish SfGam had El Toro -

^It's obviously because the airport is being used as part of the park expansion. -

I was just watching some old X-Flight media day coverage, and one reporter said that X-Flight looks very similar to Raging Bull, as well as a news anchor who said X-Flight features a 12 foot drop. -
The official NFL Discussion Thread

Good game between Pack and 9ers, Packers haven't been able to contain the edge all year, so I'm not surprised Kaepernick ran so well. -
Tayto Park Discussion Thread
willthegolfer replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^It could be that "largest" means taking up the most land. -
I honestly don't care if it's one or two sides. I think that visually, doing both would be a much better idea, because then you don't have a 50 degree drop on one side and an 80 degree drop on the other. I think the reason most people want one side is so they still have American eagle, but also iron eagle, so you'd have 2 different rides.
