  11. Yay for 2014 season! So yeah Todd Gurley looks phenomenal. I expect to do amazing things for the Dawgs this year.
  12. Too bad it hasn't been destroyed by an airstrike yet... I kid, I kid...
  13. You should ride coasters for the enjoyment of riding, not for the coaster count Noted
  14. Fun fact: There is no confirmation that the coaster is being removed from Cedar Point, it could very well be that floorless conversion that many are discussing about. And, if that does happen, it will still be the first B&M that cannot ever be ridden again. Think about it: B&M built a particular standup roller coaster at Cedar Point. Will you ever be able to ride that ride again? It's sort of a special situation that us coaster nerds should recognise. I mean, they've built over 96 roller coasters since 1991 and this is the first that something is actually happening to? Wikipedia doesn't even have a 'Closed' tab next to the 'Opened Year' tab because it doesn't need it. That's an amazing record of installations! Does Iron Wolf aka Apocalypse at SFA formerly from SFGrAm ring any bells?? Can you still ride the B&M standup formerly named Iron Wolf? Yeah, but if Mantis gets moved to Dorney and renamed Insect-a-hawk, it's the same situation?! B-T-Dubs.... What year did Mantis open? What page is this? You're welcome. Stay tuned for a similar situation in two pages featuring our friend, Power Tower! Than 2 pages after that! Well, you know I don't like the idea of the floorless conversion, but if that's the case, I might go out to ride it. However, I wouldn't count it as a new credit though.
  15. Sure, it might be Mantis, but I doubt it. Even if they do remove flit from CP, why waste such a big coaster? I think it might be sent to another Cedar Fair park, even though I would love to see it scrapped. Unless it is the floorless conversion, and if that's the case, then you can ignore everything you just read.
  16. I thought Cheetah Hunt was a lame name, but to each his own.....
  17. I would revive the Arrow suspended coasters I would not revive TOGO I would kill off everything in Mt. Olympus. And Gwazi
  18. Agreed, that zero g roll was insane! I don't get why some enthusiasts say It's overrated, having ridden it myself, by everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
  19. Scott Grooves - Mothership Reconnection (Daft Punk Remix)
  20. I'm pretty sure no one is. But unfortunately some people think they know what's going on when they really dont. Whatever happens, whether it be to make room for a new coaster, to make room for a new themed area, or a floorless conversion, I'm sure Cedar Point will do a good job.
  21. Sadly I can't see people in 20 years saying how insane Gatekeeper is If B&M start working with Stengel firm again, wld it change the situation? Is there a particular train on Kumba that is rougher than the others? My friend rode it and she didn't like it at all. She said the twists are unnaturally shaped and the train bumps around way too much I sat in the far back and the only parts I thought were rough were the cobra roll and the corkscrews. However the cobra roll wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe your friend didn't like the intensity?
  22. None of them are wearing swimming suits either... Yes Well, the ones in the pool are, but why go to a water park in normal clothes? Not trying to be racist, but maybe they're expecting a lot of those Hispanics who wear full clothes to water parks.
  23. Longtime, now I have more faith for the Ravens this year. 26-6 win over Pittsburgh, I'm liking this team. Go Ravens.
  24. Sorry for the double post, but today I had the pleasure to visit Busch Gardens Tampa, and I had a pretty good time. So here's a little TR: I'm gonna start with some coaster reviews Cheetah Hunt: 4/5 First we rode the Cheetah Hunt. And man, this is a great coaster. It was pretty forceful, and you get some floater air. You also gotta love the fact that it's basically twisting through a zoo. Great coaster, I give it 4 stars out of 5. Montu: 4.3/5 Next we rode Montu. Man, what a fantastic coaster. We decided to ride in the back and HOLY SH*T. What an intense awesome ride. Montu proves that they definitely don't make em like they used to. Of the 3 B&M Inverts I've ridden, this was by far the best. I give it a 4.3/5 Scorpion: 3.5/5 Next we rode Scorpion. This was my first Schwarzkopf looper. It was pretty fun, but my sister didn't like it. The loop was intense, but the rest of the ride fails to deliver. Still fun though. I give it a 3.5/5 Sand Serpent: 2.5/5 We rode Sand Serpent next. Just a MACK Wild mouse. Nothing to write home about. I give it a 2.5/5 Kumba: 4.7/5 We rode Kumba next and HOOOLLLYYY CRAP. I took coasterbill's advice of sitting in the back role seat 4, and let me say thank you coasterbill. What a fantastic experience. So intense, so fun, so impressive, so awesome. I came in with low expectations for this ride, and man did it blow me away. The only reason it's not a 5/5 is because of the few rough spots but I can forgive that. I give it a 4.7/5 Sheikra: 3.75/5 Next we rode Sheikra. It was fun and all, and there was some forces felt, but I found it a bit gimmicky. However I loved the first drop. I give it a 3.75/5 Gwazi: 1.5/5 Up until now, I was having a pretty good day. Fun coasters and amazing animal exhibits, and than I rode Gwazi. Why did I ride this again? It was so awful and horrible, I wondered why they haven't tore it down yet. The only thing keeping me from giving just a 1 is that the operations were pretty efficient, but that's the only good thing I have to say. I give it a 1.5/5 Non coaster rides: Falcon's Fury: 3.25/5 Now, we discuss the new hotness, Falcons Fury. It was fun and scary, but it was a bit too gimmicky for my tastes. I give it a 3.25/5 Stanley Falls Flume: 2.5/5 Fun and all, but prepared to get soaked. This ride was the reason I wasn't able to use my phone for 10 minutes. I give it a 2.5/5 Whatever the hell you call the bumper cars: 2.5/5: Just your average bumper cars, nothing to see here. 2.5/5 Skyride: 3.25/5 It was a nice little chairlift, and it gives you good views of the animal habitats. The only thing that irked me was the name. It was like they didn't even try with the name. 3.25/5 Pantopia Theater: Motor City Grooves: 3.5/5 We decided to go see Motor City Grooves to cool off in the air conditioning of Pantopia Theater. It was actually a fun little show and they played some good tunes. I give it 3.5/5 I suggest everyone should check out the Alligator exhibit and the Curiosity Caverns. Pretty nifty exhibits. Overall I give Busch Gardens Tampa a 4.25/5 The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 was that the park was a pain to circumnavigate and some coasters were only doing 1 train operations despite the long lines. Overall, this is a must visit park for any coaster enthusiast and pretty much a must visit for anybody. Overall, Busch Gardens Tampa: 4.25/5. A gold rated park
  25. Kumba is my new #1 coaster Just putting this out there
