CoasterGoddess

Thanks for the info guys!

Will the new Hulk coaster be identical in design, speed, and track length as the original coaster or will it be different? Will the queue line be different from the original's? Will the new Hulk be considered a new coaster credit from the original? Will they still have the mist effect? Any changes other than new trains and track?

I found this on kpho.com in the comments after their article about this. Emily Martin · Works at Mad Monster Radio After looking closely at the picture, I recognize this kid. I was at Castles N Coasters about 2 months ago with my niece. We were in line waiting for the log ride and THIS SAME KID was trying to sneak on the ride. The worker caught him and reminded him he had been banned from the ride for the rest of the day for his behavior. He had been caught cutting in line and was given a warning until the girl saw him switching seats with his friends while it was in motion. I remember this because he had been standing next to us and the employee asked if I knew him and if he was there with us and I had told her no. She then said she was going to have to speak with his parents and he took off. I am sorry this happened to him. I know from experience with my niece that if for any reason you need to get off the ride, tell them and they will stop it and let you get off. They have a set of stairs for people who need to leave the ride. My niece had to get off the ride last year because she got scared. When you first get on the ride, there is a recording that tells you to remain in the log and DO NOT LEAN FORWARD. I too have seen kids stand up right before the big drop to show off to their friends. I hope for the best and hope he recovers ok. Castles N Coasters should not be blamed. They outline the rules both on signs and when you first get on the ride. If someone got hurt because they refused to follow those rules, CNC should not be held responsible. They did their part, its up to the riders to make sure they follow the rules set by the park. Like · Reply · 9 · Nov 29, 2015 8:06am PS. Mr. Peabody is right, but I am always glad to hear anyone supporting common sense. The quote I altered is one of my personal favorite quotes ever and is so true, especially today with what we are facing. Not sure who, will need to research the exact quote, but someone said "America could only be destroyed from the inside" and our politicians on both sides are doing everything they can by allowing in so many dangerous people. Have a good day, have fun, and ride safely.

This seems odd to me. The Grandma who lives a mile from the park takes her grandchildren there every year. The boy is 12yo and I bet has road this flume ride many times. Why the sudden need to stand up and not follow safety rules? The family immediately act as if they deserve some financial reward for their grandson's lack of common sense and blatant disobedience. Sadly our country has turned into a bunch of greedy people looking to sue anyway they can and blame everyone except themselves for their own bad choices and actions. It's past time people start pulling up their big pants and start taking responsibility for themselves. If you make a stupid decision prepare for a bad consequence. "Common sense is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be demonstrated for, accomplished, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men and women had common sense." - Possibly spoken by a former President.

Probably Desperado at Buffalo Bills Hotel & Casino in Primm Valley, Nevada. This is one wild, fast, and intense ride! It's worth the trip out there when visiting Las Vegas! I'm not sure if it's underrated, but I rarely hear it mentioned so I consider that underrated. When I was there I got on every time without any wait and half the seats were empty.

I disagree. The activists are still not going to support SeaWorld as long as there are any ocean animals in tanks at the park. So all SeaWorld is doing is turning away some of their loyal pass members and visitors and the ones who do remain as pass members will undoubtedly visit fewer times than they usually would because this will not measure up to the entertainment they have grown to love. The fewer times their pass members and fans visit the park the less $$$$ they will make. SeaWorld is making huge mistakes all around. They need to start listening to their fans and pass members, HINT, HINT, as I already know some who have dropped over the park getting rid of the mimes. Now they are removing their signature Shamu show? Wow, that's even more stupid. I'm currently still a pass member, unlike some who I know that stopped renewing their passes, but if Seaworld Orlando stops their Shamu show I'm gone and so will be the rest of my family and many friends too. It's time SeaWorld cares about their fans and those who buy season passes rather than the activists who will never become pass members! *** I know this as I can tell you since SeaWorld Orlando got rid of the mimes my family, friends, and I visit far fewer times. I would honestly say we have gone less than half the number of days in the year the mimes have been gone than other years.

Mako at SeaWorld Orlando. Reason is I live in Florida so this ride I will be riding a lot and, this is HUGE!!!!, this will be the biggest coaster in Florida. Equal in height to Sheikra, but also Florida's longest coaster and first big out and back steel coaster that's not about many inversions. Us Floridians are very excited about the news of Mako! I bet all the Florida visitors are too!

Best: Space Mountain Disney World. It's totally dark and at the end you go through a tunnel of lights and then you exit to Space theming. It's been years since I rode it to remember all the fine details but Space Mountain came to mind as best ending of the about 250 coasters I've rode. Worse: I have to say Manta at SeaWorld Orlando. Don't get me wrong I love, love, love Manta, but lets face it, who likes hanging around so long in that position before they bring you in to get you off the coaster? They really need to work on getting people off that coaster quicker.

I've seen so many people near SeaWorld Texas crying and begging for a new coaster and saying how much room they have to put in a really big coaster, so SWT gets my vote to make their guests happy. I think they have 2 coasters and both are over 10 years old, maybe older like 20 years and more!

Probably was Son of Beast. I made sure I rode in the front half of the coaster where it wasn't as rough but it banged you up, but oh boy was that still my favorite wood coaster! I really wish they didn't tear it down and I wish people with bad backs didn't ride. If SOB lasted a few more it could had been made into a hybrid coaster. I'm still sad every time I think of what could had been with Son of Beast. I also ride The Beast in the front half too. That's very rough also.

I don't like the idea of Cobra's Curse at BGT. I like spinning coasters, but I feel that they needed something to take over Gwazi's space. Personally, I think Cobra's Curse might just raise the bar for spinning coasters. Much better than yet another generic spinner. As for "Gwazi's space," be patient. I agree, I think Cobra's Curse will be a nice addition to Busch Gardens Tampa. It's unique from any of their other coasters, it will be their first spinning coaster, and it will add another family coaster to their park. Also, the area where they are putting it fits their park perfectly as it's not too big to take too much space of their animal safari area. The Gwazi area is bigger so I'm looking forward to what they plan for that area next year! For me Cedar Points Valravn coaster is a little disappointing. I would had hoped that coaster would be taller than 223ft, just 23ft more than Sheikra, and the track course don't impress me much. I like the tracks of both Sheikra and Griffon better. It's not that I don't like Valravn, but had bigger hopes for a new dive coaster and it does not make me consider making a trip there to ride it as other new coasters interest me more.

Go to Florida and enjoy SeaWorld's Manta & Kraken coasters and Journey to Atlantis flume ride. Next day head to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure to ride The Mummy, Rip Ride Rockit, the 2 Dragons coasters, plus the Harry Potter rides and others. Next, head to Disney to ride Space Mountain, Thunder mountain railroad, Rock 'n Roll Aerosmith, Expedition Everest, Primeval Whirl, Seven Dwarfs coasters and others. Last, and we save the best for last, head to Busch Gardens Tampa for the best selection of roller coasters in Florida, plus ride Falcon's Fury 300ft drop ride and others. Don't forget to say hello to Busch Gardens' beautiful tigers while you are there, and ride the skyride and the train through the Serengeti plain. This is the best plan if you want to enjoy theme parks in the winter months, IMO. I will be visiting all of the parks mentioned except Disney World's parks. Why? Too expensive and most of their rides are not thrilling.

I agree! I want the Pollercoaster!

I watch mostly on a computer, sometimes on a mobile since my computer is being worked on. I usually search topics to watch on Youtube, plus watch videos my friends share online. I rarely comment, but sometimes I enjoy reading comments. I checked the 2 above that applied, but there was no option for people who find videos by searching subjects. I hope this helps.

I wasn't able to make the BB & BBQ this weekend, but will be there in the coming weeks and have recently seen the crowds in the past months! my family and I are lifetime Sea World and animal supporters. We know very well of the animal conservation of the Sea World parks and that Sea World and Busch Gardens are among the best American zoos for both sea life and land life animals. Both parks do so much to save animals. These so called animal activists do nothing for animals but complain about those who do. I'm glad to see many entertainers who don't have their heads up their butts and are playing this event at both parks! The bands who have canceled have been put on my do not support list and their music has been pitched from my home. Except the Beach Boys who currently has only Mike Love as their original member. Pathetic that Mike Love gets to call his band the Beach Boys and not Brian Wilson, who is more talented. Also, great to hear Sea World is buzzing with new coaster rumors! Awesome! Maybe the Polarcoaster/Polercoaster? "Polar" get it? A wing coaster sounds very cool also! Love this news about Sea World! Pat Benatar, you are trash woman! Same with Heart, who have no hearts! Bye, bye has been entertainers. Pat Benatar I have seen a few times dating back to the 80's and her concert was always lame, I just liked her music but no more. True fact: The last time Pat Benatar played Busch Gardens I was bored and left half way through her show. No loss with these now activist bands. I highly recommend seeing the bands play Busch Gardens Real Music Series concerts. Those bands really put on very entertaining shows! Paul Revere and the Raiders are among the best and will be playing soon. Go see them.

Just found this video talking about Falcon's Fury.

Well it's February now and we still only hear the crickets. Agree, someone should make some sort of statement to let us know what's going on. Tell us something! The saying, "No news is good news", doesn't work when we are talking roller coasters. I think we all are getting the feeling it's not good news.

Anyone know if they have changed the intended height of Falcon's Fury? The last couple times I heard comments from Busch Gardens they said "about 300ft" about Falcon's Fury, and not 335ft as they original promoted. With Kings Island Drop Tower at 315ft Falcon's Fury would not be the worlds tallest free standing drop ride if it's "about 300ft". Anyone know why Busch Gardens have been recently promoting Falcon's Fury as only "about 300ft"? Also, it's about time they tear down Gwazi before injuries happen and they get sued. Gwazi was never half as fun as I would had hoped. I'm no fan of the dueling coasters. I would rather a park make one good/great coaster then two mediocre coasters in the space they have to work with. I would put up with the roughness on a wood coaster like Son Of Beast because that was a great monster coaster, but there is nothing special about Gwazi. It's just a rough, mediocre coaster that's not worth the rough ride. A wood coaster modeled after Texas Giant or the Iron Rattler would be a great replacement.
