  1. When I was in Ocean City, Maryland, we diverted our path to a park that had a Wildcat that happened to previously be at Cedar Point. Although we intended on doing one ride and continuing with our day, we bought a few more tickets than necessary
  2. There is no decent reason to ride Anaconda. Heresy! There's at least 2 reasons to ride, and they're both corkscrews! There's a good reason to skydive without a parachute. The adrenaline rush is amazing.
  3. There is no decent reason to ride Anaconda. How many enthusiasts will be forever scarred because they missed a credit if they miss Anaconda? More than three and that's far too many
  4. My turn I guess. It all began as far back as I remember. Back in '10, I visited Cedar Point for the very first time. After watching tens of videos online, my desire for Cedar Point was quite high. It just so happened that my mom knew another mom who lived near Pittsburgh. So we make it to Cedar Point and I get my 48" body on whatever I could. After riding Gemini for the first time, which was my highest roller coaster at that moment, it became a favorite. I loved it so much that it became the only thing we rode more than once that day-twice in fact. So night came. We rode Space Spiral and had time for one more ride. This is where Gemini #2 came in. We chose the red train instead of the blue train but still lost again. The line went quicker than we expected, so we exited the ride with about 10 minutes left in park operation. As we were walking through the Gemini midway, we noticed Magnum XL-200. "So that's where that ride is!" I thought. The layout of the park was still coming together. After riding a 125 foot roller coaster twice, I thought nothing could go unconquered. And so we get in line. The line took a while. And then we get in the station. A little backstory. Even further back in '06, I rode Phoenix at Knoebels. Airtime wasn't my favorite thing back then, especially when I was small enough to fly all over the place. I wanted to sit in the front. However comma, with such a large jump in height, my mom suggested a few seats back, noting that the front may be scarier. So we go back. Two rows back. The line was short, so we quickly got on the ride in the third row of the first car. The ride begins and we enter the lift. Close to a minute later, we were nearing the top. To get a sense of height, I looked towards Gemini. To my surprise, Gemini was far below us. I then took a double take and began thinking of every bad word I knew. It went something like this: "Oh heck" The drop begun. I was ready to get off and the drop wasn't even over yet. We reached the first hill following the drop. The airtime on that hill was about enough for me. Oh boy. We fall into the first tunnel. The second hill was even worse. I was too busy comprehending what just happened to relax in the turnaround. Then the 'fun' begins. Hill after hill, my stomach kept taking the place of a Saturn V. The final tunnel was even worse. I couldn't see when we were about to hit a peak. Luckily, the brake run followed. The riders in front of me asked if I was ok. If I wasn't traumatized I would have said no. Many years pass I finally make it back to Cedar Point and ride Magnum XL-200 again. The line was shortest in the back, so we went there. I took note of the relative lack of airtime. Then I find this website some time after and notice my fatal mistake a few years prior.
  5. Instead of buttons, why not place a small screen on each worker's shirt that displays a live webcam focused on Sky Ride 24/7?
  6. So will RMC Streak open when Kings Dominion gets that launched flying coaster screamscape talked about? personal attacks aren't how you handle opposing views
  7. Is anyone else curious as to what TOGO or Dinn could have created if they were given the job?
  8. Why talk about records when we can talk about an element with a name indistinguishable from a five paragraph informational essay on the history of man?
  9. Millennium Flyer restraints, or at least the ones on Wildcat, are perfectly designed so I can staple myself in the station and still go down another notch during the ride.
  10. I have a high degree of certainty that people are going just to get pictures of RMC Streak to gain credit in the enthusiast community. (Credit usually means nothing, but keep in mind what type of enthusiast we're dealing with) They see this:
  11. 1. 1. What is the farthest distance you've traveled to specifically visit a theme park? Disney World 2. Your favorite coaster in the state you live in? I was going to say something like Skyrush but I then remembered about this little town known as Elysburg. 3. Would you rather wait in line for a boomerang (at any park) or a VR coaster @ a Six Flags? I rather enjoy boomerangs 4. Have u ever been the only person in a train during a coaster ride? I've been one of three but never alone 5. What is your favorite thing to do at your home park that does not involve riding something? Leaving (#GuessThePark) 6. Better time for ERT: Early morning or late night? Nighttime has much more enthusiasm 7. Name some theme park food that *sounds* gross, yet is oh-so-delicious? If I routinely ate food at parks I would have an answer 8. Name your top three "bucketlist" coasters you have yet to ride. Stealth, Steel Dragon 2000, Silver Star 9. Have you ever been E-Vac'd? Did you receive anything if you did? No 10. What is the longest length of time you've waited for a coaster? Probably 2 hours for a broken Top Thrill Dragster 11. Worst flat ride ever. Name it. Those balloon rides that you think will spin but don't 12. Your favorite SWEET treat at a park that is NOT your home park. Have you ever heard of Dollywood 13. Congratulations! After aggressively gambling on the Plinko game you finally won a front of the line pass. Which ride do you use it on? Maverick 14. If you could have a lifetime fast pass to ONE attraction what would it be? See above 15. Have you ever been next to someone that puked on a coaster? I've been next in line when someone puked if that counts I then realized I'm not halfway done copying the questions so mind some paraphrasing 16. B&M to my home park? Ok... Hyper 17. Favorite Vekoma Stinger 18. What water ride makes you unsatisfactorily moist? That one rapids ride at Lake Compounce. I wasn't even moist 19. Airtime or inversions 20. Most comfortable cars or trains Am I supposed to focus on comfort 21. 1000 USD or front of the line access to one ride for a season Ill take the dollars to get tickets for multiple days 22. Would you pay for a dryer or deal with the moistness? Air drying is good for the environment 23. Worst food at your home park? A very dry french fry 24. One hour ERT on one coaster at Cedar Point Millennium Force 25. Favorite non-clone dark ride? Does the turkey game at Holiday World count 26. Favorite park in 2016? New park or a park? Lake Compounce and Cedar Point respectively 27. Credit count? 155 28. SFA or Mount Olympus? Mt. Olympus 29. Best Intamin? Maverick 30. Your home park has to remove a coaster and a flat ride for an expansion. Which two will go the way of my romantic life? Well my home park is Dorney so this is easy. Stinger can go and Revolution won't be missed 31. A song that you heard in an amusement park that you wouldn't usually hear in an amusement park Thank You For Loving Me by Bon Jovi at DelGrosso's. Why that type of song... 32. With 5 minutes left, would you rather ride your favorite coaster at the park or a new kiddie credit? If it's above 10 feet I'd get the credit 33. Do you visit waterparks if they're connected to the amusement park? If the amusement park is Holiday World 34. Most anticipated addition for 2017? That one dive coaster at Liseberg 35. Most disappointing addition to your home park in the last 10 years? My home park is still Dorney 36. Most overrated coaster? I'm thinking Millennium Force but I enjoy that one quite a bit. Wicked Cyclone didn't cure my cancer 37. What ride makes you want to vomit? I have a gastrointestinal tract made of steel. Carnival teacup rides 38. Best prize you've won at a game booth? A pillow 39. Worst? A fish that may have been dead 40. Favorite lighting package? Does this count Edited to put the questions in.
  12. Did no one catch the Turkish prison? Maybe there's going to be a Halloween attraction in RMC Streak's structure themed to a Turkish prison. Or perhaps... #ThatsInTheShed
  13. I can think of a ton of instances where an amusement park ride has resulted in the death of a visitor. And I'm not including the numerous times where I've been injured to some degree on a ride. I've even heard cases of asthma attacks and people throwing up at rides because someone had a traumatizing experience. Let's not pretend like amusement park rides have nothing but positive effects on theme parks.
  14. If that quote included every issue amusement parks don't care about coasterbill would still be typing.
  15. It's only dead in those who don't believe would you rather talk about racism
  16. Edited because this one sounded better (he's just new to the game) however you look at it
  17. There is that word again. Nothing was 'confirmed' in that video. Will it open in 2017? We don't know. Will it open in 2018? We don't know. When will it open? we don't know You wanna know who know? Not us. But guess who knows. youre right. not us. Can we please go back to talking about skyrides and boats please. Speaking of subject changes, I heard that distraction over there is really topic changing.
  18. That's a new one. Well, here's another (likely) new one for you... I personally like Wicked Twister more than Magnum! Now there's a point where you have to draw the line,
  19. Hey now you know the rules here. No source = Nothing ever happened
