Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
Diamondbacker27 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I mean the area. What is the tallest structure you could build. Can't we wish? This would be an amazing coaster, if it ever actually happened. Which it won't. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
Diamondbacker27 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What is Holiday Worlds height restriction? Oh and a while back, someone posted on HW's page saying all they added was water rides and they need a good coaster like the beast. They replied and said he would be very happy with the dry ride side of the park within the next couple years. But at that time Girrafica was not going to be removed, we'll see what happens -

Wow. I never realized how many rides are in such a small, compact area. -
Do any of you watch any LGBT Youtubers? Some of my favorites are LushLaws, Davey Wavey, and Domo Wilson.

When your not thinking straight it has 7, I always think it does and then I have to count up to remember it only has 6. -

Is anyone doing the color run on the forum? -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Diamondbacker27 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't know, I guess it's possible. Slap down the restraints, help passengers buckle, push on restraint and check buckle, start chain speed, make sure all restraints are locked and dispatch. -
We were there and there was a DOWNPOUR. We were next to get on the Gatekeeper train and you couldn't even see the lift. But that continued for about 2 hours, so we went back to our hotel, and back to the park after lunch. But they closed every ride except wicked twister. When it was just even a couple drops of rain.

Yes, I think I only like this one because, IMO it's the best one out. -
Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread
Diamondbacker27 replied to the_rock401's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Agreed. I know that Valleyfair isn't the kind of park that will receive a Banshee or a Gatekeeper. I don't think you want a gatekeeper Unless you want a dull boring ride -

Agreed. I know that Valleyfair isn't the kind of park that will receive a Banshee or a Gatekeeper, but I don't think that they would stoop down to the level of a Vekoma SLC, like some people think. On the topic of an SLC, some people say that it would satisfy the GP because they like coasters with lots of "loop-de-loops", but I think they are sensitive to roughness too because, for example, if a park posts a picture of it's SLC on it's Facebook page, there are many comments along the lines of "This ride hurts your head" or "I hate this ride", so I don't think the GP would end up liking an SLC in the long run. I've never seen that. I have seen "Great ride" "Fun" "wanna ride" "Looks great" "Smooth, fun ride" Of course, there is always that one person who thinks even the smoothest rides are rough And the roughest rides are the smoothest. -

If VF, is getting a coaster, it will be a B&M. Based on Cedar Fair's latest additions. But it certainly won't be the latest and greatest. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Diamondbacker27 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think it will also attract more people to read it. Most people are just going to skip it if they see " ride the worlds longest inverted coaster" That's what I think anyways. -

Possibly or they just don't know. I saw several reverse POV's of news reporters. They kept saying things such as "we are climbing this 140 foot lift." "We are going through 8 inversions, or seven. I don't remember." I think they should study up on the ride a little more before they record. But most of them did a good job. I really enjoyed the video Susan Glaser did. http://videos.cleveland.com/plain-dealer/2014/04/susan_glaser_rides_the_banshee.html -
You need to learn the meaning of a "5 year plan"! I'm not trying to sound like a new coaster is in every 5 year plan. But most of the time, it is. I know what a 5 year plan is, it is the planning of the parks future in the next 5 years. What your going to do with it in the next 5 years. From my understanding.
