Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

My friend told me that when he visited Carowinds, his friend tried to jump in the tunnel of the bat-wing of Afterburn. -

^Granted, but they're Taco Bell Waffle Tacos. I wish that enthusiasts would give Carowinds a better rating than it already gets. -

^Eating Taco Bell Breakfast. What's worse then your family choosing to ride a Vekoma over a Schwarzkopf? -

^Cedar Fair shoots one commercial and airs it for the whole chain. The only difference between each of them are the names of the parks. None of Carowinds' coasters are in it -
The "Pleasant/Unpleasant Surprise" Thread
tarheel1231 replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Pleasant: Mindbender at SFOG: I didn't really read about this before my visit, so this was fun for me. Verbolten at BGW: I loved this ride! This was my first launch coaster, and I loved the drop track! Griffon at BGW: The first drop gave me a feeling of weightlessness! The drop felt much longer than it actually was Alpengeist at BGW: I'd been reading about how 'unforceful' Alpengeist was, and how it wasn't intense. And I'm going to say this: It was both forceful and intense (and this is coming from someone who's home park houses Afterburn). -
Could RMC rehab with topper track?

What does the 'o' in 'OP' mean? -
I'm sorry for pestering and nagging earlier for a custom title (i pestered so much, I ended up with 'I go to furry parties, I'm probably a brony too'. Instead, could I have the title 'Giggity'? I understand if you don't want to, just asking......

^A Vekoma that has only tight twist and corkscrews at 300 feet high and the OSTR's cause severe headbanging. What's worse than Taco Bell's breakfast? (The cheese doesn't melt, even if you microwave it, this is a fact) -

Granted, but you couldn't run it because you haz no experience. I wish I could see Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend. -
Could RMC rehab with topper track?

NTAG, IRAT, and MSC use I-Box tack, and metal ties. -
I know how RMC takes old wooden coasters that are past their primes and turns them into amazing hybrid coasters, but do you think they would rehab a wooden coaster and keep it a wooden coaster by using topper track? Here's an unlikely scenario: Cedar Point wants to rehab Mean Streak, but they only have 2 wooden coasters and would like to keep them both. Do you think RMC could rehab Mean Streak using topper track so that it's technically still a wooden coaster? Just something that popped into my head.

I enjoyed your report! -
You don't need to break records to have a popular ride. If you can make people aware that you are building a new coaster, you are already marketing pretty well. When Cedar Point built Maverick, they didn't really break any records (that I know of), but lots of people will stand 2 hours in line to ride a new coaster. Busch Gardens is a pretty popular park, and more people will visit to ride this new attraction. So basically, you don't need records to market, you just need a new coaster.
