Announcing "Skyline Attractions"
canadianparkfan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wonder if skywarp was their second choice. Looking at the logo posted, it seems like "infinity Coaster" would've made more sense. -
Announcing "Skyline Attractions"
canadianparkfan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Think the origional post said it rocks back and forth before completing the.circuit (like a super loop). Guessing that means it can go backwards in the same manner as a super loop as well. Seems like a really neat looking ride overall, a sort of cross between the larger premier shuttle-coasters and the smaller super loops. Hop -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
canadianparkfan replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That won't happen due to safety requirements if 2 trains collide. This is the same reason that Thorpe park removed the backwards rows on The Swarm. Were the backwards rows taken out as a result of the smiler accident? -

Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread

IMO, the shaping doesn't look oblique enough to me for a dive loop. And I find it very weird that the track is perfectly parallel on each side of the small radius turn. To me, it looks much more like a brake run/transfer track area (which doesn't make sense if it's at the bottom of the hill...). The whole layout also looks ridiculously short... I guess it's wait and see. Ultra-Twister 2.0? -

It's funny to me how you mentioned that a 14 year old with an iPhone would use windows movie maker. Most 14 year olds with iPhones would just use iMovie and wouldn't even bother to upload their videos to their computer. ...Seriously overestimating the abilities of 14 year olds -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
canadianparkfan replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not a GP thing, but I remember the Wikipedia page for Hangover/Invertigo mentioned the original layout was planned to have launches instead of lift hills. Can someone confirm if this is true/false? -

First time going to haunt later today. Where are the mazes in the park? Are they listed on the maps? -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
canadianparkfan replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
May be heading to the park on Oct 30. Will be there in the evening for haunt. Never done haunt before, and wanted to check out the haunted houses, however, this will also be my first visit to the park this year , so I'm wanting to get a decent amount of rides in too. Any suggestions on how I should go about doing things? -

I could live without both. Why would it be either of those years? Everyone knows it's going to be built in 2019. -

Dragon Mountain is worth stopping by for. I saw nothing of concern as far as animal treatment goes when I last visited in 2014. Mistreatment of animals shouldn't be a reason to avoid a decent ride/park... Just look at how most parks of a certain chain mistreat their HUMAN customers (**cough^* Sixflags **cough**) with with the abomination that is their 2017 addition lineup. In all seriousness, will be interesting to see if marineland is bought out by a bigger chain in the coming years/decades. To my knowledge, the owner is getting up there in age, and may decide to sell the park soon. As others have said, the park is quoted dated. Would be very interesting to see what a bigger chain could do for the park. -

Zippers?
canadianparkfan replied to leviathandude306's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm sure they already thought of this, but why use Horse-collar-style OTSRs? Seems like vest restraints would cut down on the weight of the pods. -

I mean, isn't this only the second installation of a Mondial Inferno at all? The only other example of this ride I've ever known of is the traveling Airwolf. I've heard it's one of the craziest flat rides ever designed. EDIT: On-ride video: Really? Crazier than shockwave? Seems like this one doesn't look as intense. -
Six Flags 2017 New Ride Predictions

When is the announcement date for 2017 rides? -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
canadianparkfan replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Before all the whining, moaning and bitching starts, I just want to say that personally, this is exactly what I expected for 2017, and more. The drop pod slides seem to be just what splashworks needed, and will definitely help them compete with other local water parks. The new flat ride also seems like a great addition. It's no coaster, but from what I've seen on YouTube, it should be a pretty thrilling ride. -

At least they didn't name it "Northhawk".
