Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
YoshiFan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's nice to see Dinosaurs Alive included with the Gold and Platinum passes. Hopefully other parks in the chain try it, especially at the parks where the attraction has been open for a few years. -
TPR's Monday Fun Emails
YoshiFan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I like them, just in case I missed something that I wanted to read when browsing the site/forums. -
Randomman's RCT2 Microcoasters
YoshiFan replied to Randomman295's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Those are some cool looking coasters with how little space they take up. I liked that Dive Machine the best. -
Photo TR: Kennywood's Holiday Lights 2013!
YoshiFan replied to GwaziBSRider1's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Great photos, it really looks like Kennywood did an awesome job of decorating the park with so many lights everywhere. Hershey also puts Santa and reindeer on the lift on Comet similar to Thunderbolt. -
What's your most hated coaster company?
YoshiFan replied to mrlego611's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Pinfari, the coasters I have ridden from them have been horrible. As some examples Rollie's Coaster has OTSR's with no inversions and Sea Serpent at Playland's Castaway Cove is the worst steel coaster I have ridden. The only tolerable part of the ride is the loop. -
PHOTO TR: Delgrosso's Amusement park
YoshiFan replied to thrillrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The park looks very nice. Now after seeing the pictures, I wish I would have time to stop there for a few hours when I was in Pittsburgh in July (the only park I had time for was Kennywood). -
What's the worst station you've been in
YoshiFan replied to tribar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah the stairs are especially bad for Batman at Great Adventure. Even when it's a walk on or station wait, just walking through the stairs is annoying. -
Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
YoshiFan replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm surprised they don't have Exterminator open since it would probably be a big draw in the region to have a coaster open. Maybe because it's somewhat away from the other rides that are open? -
Its strange to see an Arrow looping coaster with a single corkscrew since most of them had back to back corkscrews with a few exceptions. It would be good if they could get at least 1 coaster operational again or get a new coaster to replace one of the SBNO ones.

Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
YoshiFan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think they are just ok, I'm not really a fan of Chickie’s & Pete’s in general. I have never been to the one at Dorney but have been to 2 of their regular locations and didn't see why they are always so crowded. -
Lines At Parks Compared to Cedar Point
YoshiFan replied to etr102's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The lack of air gates probably helps too. I was surprised when I went to the park and didn't see them. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
YoshiFan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah it's great that there will be no maximum height limit, I'm surprised about it but it's good for everyone wanting the credit. -
New Home park coasters?
YoshiFan replied to Diamondbacker27's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I consider Dorney and Great Adventure my home parks so no new coasters for 2014. Hopefully for 2015 one of them will get a new coaster. -
Lines At Parks Compared to Cedar Point
YoshiFan replied to etr102's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Great Adventure wait times can vary a lot. If you go early in the season especially on a Sunday or a weekday before schools let out, it usually isn't crowded, same with Sundays in September (before Fright Fest starts) and Friday nights in September and October. Those Friday nights are one of my favorite times of the year to go to the park since crowds are already low and many of the people there are in line for the trails/mazes so the rides are usually 0 - 10 minute waits. -
If you could tear down one coaster
YoshiFan replied to coasterfreaksrttd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It would be great if they would really consider it (although I know that's very unlikely). I'd give up Stinger and Possessed to get Laser back. -
Whats The Weather Like Where You Live?
YoshiFan replied to RtherBOnACoaster's topic in Random, Random, Random
It's supposed to snow again tomorrow in Philadelphia. That will be the 4th snowfall in 10 days and it's not even winter yet. Thankfully it's supposed to "warm up" to the 40's and 50's later in the week. -

They could replace Stinger with this: http://www.guenter-engelhardt.de/entertainment/en/sale/second-hand-looping-coaster-schwarzkopf-germany.php -
Poll: Favorite Inversion?
YoshiFan replied to timetrial3141592's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Almost 9 years later after I posted in this thread and more coasters ridden since then, I still prefer vertical loops but the zero g roll is a close 2nd. -
Vekoma Roller Coasters
YoshiFan replied to kingdakacor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yep. Every time I go to KI Invertigo is usually shut down for about 30 minutes and tests maybe 6 times. Stinger at Dorney has also had some issues with riders getting stuck (the worst so far being 90 minutes). I don't really like the coaster that much anyway so I have only ridden it a few times over the past 2 seasons and will probably only ride it 2 - 3 times a season now. -
I'm glad that the store I work at still closes on Thanksgiving. A few years ago every other store in the shopping center was closed, now it seems like almost all are open and we were one of the few that closed (same thing with Easter too). I think it's only a matter of time before stores start opening on Christmas too.

Weird Roller Coaster Dreams
YoshiFan replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I had a dream a few weeks ago I was at SFGAM (a park I have never been to) but for some reason the park was really compact with all the rides built over each other and they had a boomerang in the center of the park. I have no idea why I had a dream about the park considering it was nothing what the real park looks like (based on the pictures I have seen of the park).
