I'm looking at the potato salad and I don't see any mayonnaise, maybe that's what was missing J/K -

This is the best one yet! -
A 4D coaster makes more sense at Gradv from a marketing standpoint than anything else. It's like what do you add in a park that already has a stellar line-up? There's not much the GP who goes to Gradv hasnt already seen. They have one of the biggest, baddest launched coasters in the world. One of the biggest, baddest wooden coasters. An award winning hyper. Almost the entire catalogue of B&M looping coasters, multiple family coasters etc While yes, an RMC, Premier launcher, Wing Coaster, or Giga are what the enthusiasts want. A 4D will probably give SF more return on investment than the others. A 4D will attract attention, while simultaneously fitting into Six Flags' parsimonious portfolio

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

^I agree Skyrush and i305 are vastly different, I rode them a day apart. I305 is a lot more intense and focuses primarily on positive and lateral Gs. While Skyrush is a lot more airtime focused. The only similarity other than them both being Intamin, is the GPs reluctance to ride them. Though Skyrush seemed to be a little more popular at Hershey than I305 was at KD. -

SFMM has worked them frequently as well, Superman TE, Superman EFK, Lex Luthor, Freefall, Green Lantern, and Shockwave. Intamin was somehow involved in Revolution's construction as well I believed -

Roller Coaster Demolition Photos
Superbatboy replied to milst1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As bad as this ride was, this picture made me feel some kinda way. Spent my childhood riding it, so many childhood memories with friends getting off the ride and saying how horrible it was...then getting back in line. -

Weird Coaster Facts
Superbatboy replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mako will feature three trains of seven cars each when it opens. But yes, through 2015, that is correct. In 2011 (possibly 2012 as well), Green Lantern at Great Adventure ran three trains of seven cars each. The third train was shipped to Magic Mountain for use on Riddlers Revenge. I don't know how many trains it ran at Kentucky Kingdom. I believe it was the other way around, MM shipped off Riddler's 3rd to train to Gradv to use on GL...as Chang only had two 7 car trains. Gradv has since sent Riddler's train back to MM and it still has the Green Lantern paint job with the lime green stripe across the side.
