Photo TR: Kings Island on a Sunday
tarheel1231 replied to Midgetman82's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Great report! I really wish I could get back up to Ohio. Banshee seems like a mix of the two inverts I've ridden: Afterburn for forces & intensity and Alpengeist for speed. Both are in my top ten. -
Favorite Inversion
tarheel1231 replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
-Afterburn's Batwing: This element makes the coaster feel like it's going to fast, like you're going to be thrown out of your seat. -Mindbender's loops: It's a Schwarzkopf. Nuff said. -

Don't know if I'm using this right, but You can almost guarantee that Canada's Wonderland will be teasing "Ziz" for their 2016 attraction. My money's on a B&M launched of some sort. Wing seems like the most obvious one. -

No only is the setting great, but the park it's in will make it even better. Haven't been yet, but I've heard nothing but good reviews. -
What are your TOP TEN COASTERS
tarheel1231 replied to ddaver177's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've only been on 6 woodies, so: 1. Predator @ Darien Lake (Don't give me that look, I went back in '09) 2. GASM @ SFOG 3. Thunder Road @ Carowinds 4. Blue Streak @ Cedar Point 5. Hurler @ Carowinds 6. Woodstock Express @ Carowinds Now if only I could get to Dollywood. I think Thunderhead would take my #1 spot. I probably won't get to SFOG to ride Cyclone until it's too late and it gets RMC'ed. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

I wouldn't expect one until 2016/2017. I think Knotts is in line next for a Triotech Dark Ride. -

The height requirement was supposed to be 48". This is the reason I missed this credit in '08. -

I think it's a possibility. It would be marketable too as the first looping wooden coaster in Canada. -

I'd love to see a dark ride that is a collaboration of Triotech and Garner-Holt Productions. Remember, Canada's Wonderland is a test park, we'll see improvement over time. -

Maybe the park will ad a record-breaking GCI woodie. Do you guys think it's too close to Minebuster to put in? -

I overreacted about that too. I have my 2015 season pass! -

I'm beyond excited for Fury 325, and I think this will kick Millennium Force out of my #1 spot. It's just reading through a few negative comments that ruins the excitement for me. I didn't want to sound b!tchy, I just wish enthusiasts had the same level of excitement as I have for this coaster (which is pretty biased since this is my home park and enthusiasts these days don't particularly care from B&M). I will be there to ride this on opening day even if it's pouring or freezing cold. Bring on the Fury! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I wonder what's wrong with the webcam. I really wanted to see if any more track was put in place. -

Skyrider is going to Darien Lake! A new coaster at Darien Lake. Sure.... In other news, there's a cure for Ebola. -
Carowinds Discussion Thread

I know I shouldn't (or have the right to) complain, but this is how I feel about comments on TPR about Carowinds: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/making_things -
Game: Careful What You Wish For

^Granted, but you stop aging because you die. I wish people would stop giving Carowinds crap about Fury 325. -
Carowinds Discussion Thread
tarheel1231 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wrong thread, you must be talking about I-305 as most of the comments about the hyper on this website are negative. I'm assuming you meant to post it on this thread: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54210 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I hope Carowinds speeds up construction on F-325 as I'd like to ride this monster on opening day. I don't think we'll see a lift-hill topping by the end of the season, but I'm guessing mid-November.
