Makes more sense to send scream to SFA. They won't. But it's make more sense. -

Interesting that they don't have giga listed. That's what I was gonna order...like 3 of them... -

Well we already knew that it would b a dive coaster, so at this point the only thing to speculate about is will it have 2 drops or 1? Probably 1 -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

Because they have all woodies, they need something that brings something that they don't have. A FAMILY COASTER WITH A VERTICAL LIFT, BEYONG VERTICAL DROP, 3 INVERSIONS, AND A LAUNCH Problem solved. -

Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread

I love Bizarro! Its such a great ride! But in a way, I'd like it to be at SFA. It'd add to the lineup, and it'd mean the ride would be closer to me! As a VA resident, this would mean I wouldn't have to travel as far to ride it. And I again don't see SFA adding a BRAND NEW coaster any time soon. Unlike most enthusiasts, I honestly don't care if its a relocation or not. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
CPSFMMCW replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think a waterworks expansion will be in 2 years. Heres my idea for the next 3 years. 2015- coaster. GCI or B&M. If GCI, then they'll prob remove a woodie. If B&M, then I'm hoping for a hyper or invert. Hyper would be nice since it would provide a big difference between i305 and a B&M hyper. 2016- Waterworks expansion possibly with a conversion into soak city 2017- wonder mountains guardian style dark ride. -

^ You have a point. When you remove a huge, highlight attraction, then you have to replace it with a big, highlight attraction. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
CPSFMMCW replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ Holy crap! That line is insane! Ok so the question I have is what was the criteria to attend media day here? Was it that you had to be a club TPR member? Or something else? If so, is that the normal criteria that you have to have to attend a media day? -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
CPSFMMCW replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm with you. NOT a fan of cobra rolls. They looks cool though! That batwing makes me happy. Its a cool maneuver. It doesn't thrust you into the inversion. It sails smoothly into it. -

Most B&M hypers are L shaped with the exception of a few(i.e.-diamondback and apollo's). I hope that this new giga has more ejector hills than floater. that way it will differentiate itself from intimidator. A tunnel would be nice too, to also make it different from intimidator. Whether its a leviathan clone or not, I just want it to be different enough from intimidator so that it isn't just a taller version of the same ride. -
Just thought this was interesting. You have the yellow lines to depict the height of the attraction. What if the reason they did the whole box formation was because that is also the width of the attraction? If it were a skyscreamer or something along that line, then why would they make that box shape? Couldn't they just draw a line? And it is higher at the top, which would makes sense if it were a superman clone. However I'm still kinda skeptical about them putting in a clone. Correct me if I'm wrong, but BGW has never put in an exact clone of a ride. Griffon had an extra inversion than sheikra, so its not a clone. But anyway, the other reason that makes me think that its different is a line in there that says something along the line of "if we chose to change parts of the design." If its a clone, would they change part of it? Is there a need to? If its not a clone, then it makes more sense. Thats also why I think it isn't a flat ride, since they talk about changing the design and stuff like that. I know its going out on a limb, but it makes sense if you think about it!

Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread
CPSFMMCW replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Any coaster is fine here. Yes, another B&M would be nice, (a good one) but here you have to understand that this park right now is arguably in the best shape its ever been. Its come so far, from a not so good place, and so everything that has been going on here is a huge improvement. Right now, with a new family coaster coming(I don't care that its used), the park is doing better to appeal to families AND thrill seekers. But a flat ride or two would be ideal for them i.e. skyscreamer and aqua twist -

^ I'm sure there will be something new about it. Who knows? Maybe a tunnel or something underground. But either way, this is gonna be fantastic. I live in VA, and so because Canada is so far away and this park is so much closer, I am extremely happy about this. -
Theme park mega holiday
CPSFMMCW replied to amarci87's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I personally think that what you have is great. 2 days at Disney is fine. U probably won't be able to do all four parks, but it's ok. As for Kings Island or Hershey, that's a tough one. I think KI makes sense to do, and is a legendary park. But that truly is a tough choice and either way your gonna be happy with your choice. They both are Great parks. -

A leviathan clone. Wow. Or near clone. That's awesome. I'm curious in seeing how much of an impact it really will have on the front entrance. -

^ I'm callin SkyScreamer for next year. But if its not that, then its probably a Tsunami Soaker attraction. -
Even if you think Dominator is rough (which it's not), is it really so rough that you're grouping it in with those other coasters? I have ridden Dominator more times than any other coaster. The last half gives you a headache. And I wasn't listing those rides in order of roughness, just in order of when I thought of them. I have been to KD so many times that at this point, Dominator isn't in the top 3, and is probably number 5 in the park. Dominator is one of the rougher B&M's. After the mid course break run, those interlocking corkscrews are rough. Trust me, I've probably ridden it more than you, so I know what I'm talkin about. But I was just listing some of the roughest I've been on, and it just so happens that the last half of the ride makes the list. I'm only counting the last half. The first part of the ride is fine.

It was in 2009 with Terminator (now Apocalypse) at SFMM. Also, wasn't El Toro down for a bit on opening weekend? They could have been called in to check it out. I remember last year when a similar thing happened at SfGam, although I think this turned out to be just some random guy who bought an RMC sweatshirt online. There was also an RMC truck that was on site. So it wasn't just a few guys wearing sweatshirts, but it could've been for el toro. The world may never know...
