  2. There really isn't anything quite like trimless Voyage. I swear the ride runs on magic. I can't explain it, but the 1st train on Saturday ert after the breakdown was possibly the best ride I ever had on it and that's after it being down for hours. Makes 0 sense. 100% agree we'll never see another ride like Voyage. The location, pacing, and bountiful airtime make for a ride like no other.

  9. After going to Universal yesterday I now have all 62 B&Ms in North America. No international ones for the time being though.
  10. My perfect coaster would be intamin's take on Voyage (El Toyage). A 6000+ foot long terrain version of El Toro with the best night rides and a more diverse layout would be perfect to me.
  11. X2 and the holy trinity of NA intamins (El Toro, Skyrush, and Maverick) these fours drops are just insane no matter how many times you do them they continue to be thrilling and put a smile of my face.
  12. Intamin by a mile. Intamin has built my #2, #3, and #6 overall plus they build water rides and drop towers. I will admit if B&M still built rides like Montu and Kumba it's be closer but not by much. The airtime and intensity you get on an intamin is so much better than that you get on your typical B&M.
  13. I've always been one who's all about finding the next best things and I want to experience as much as possible. Form the age of 6 to about 15 my family kept taking me to the same parks and I thought those parks were amazing especially SFMM which I though was the best park back then. Boy am i glad I started getting around to new places as its the only way to figure out what you truly like. The larger the sample size the better. I understand the logic of wanting to visit want you no is a for sure awesome park, but if I did that I'd never of made it to parks like Silverwood or Holiday World which for me are 2 of my 5 favorite parks I've been to.
  14. 66/100 top 4% It's surprising as i haven't even left North American yet, but it goes to how US bias the GTAs are.
  15. 69/126 (55%) hopefully that'll go up as I'm hitting most of the remaining Pennsylvania and New York parks this year
  16. 59/62 just missing the 3 Universal B&Ms which I should be getting this May/June. A lot of fun rides only a few amazing ones.
  17. 1. What is the farthest distance you've traveled to specifically visit a theme park? 24 hrs. by car to Cedar Point. Even though Orlando and Maine were further we stopped at other parks on the way. 2. Your favorite coaster in the state you live in? Wild Chipmunk my state sucks and I haven't ridden any of the alpine coasters yet 3. Would you rather wait in line for a boomerang (at any park) or a VR coaster @ a Six Flags? New credits first 4. Have u ever been the only person in a train during a coaster ride? Yes 5. What is your favorite thing to do at your home park that does not involve riding something? Don't go to my home park 6. Better time for ERT: Early morning or late night? Night by a mile 7. Name some theme park food that *sounds* gross, yet is oh-so-delicious? Pass 8. Name your top three "bucketlist" coasters you have yet to ride. T-Express, Expedition GeForce, and Medusa: SC 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? 90 min a few times 11. Worst flat ride ever. Name it. Tea Cups 12. Your favorite SWEET treat at a park that is NOT your home park. Don't have a favorite 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? Would never play plinko 14. If you could have a lifetime fast pass to ONE attraction what would it be? I wouldn't be able to get to a park that has a coaster I enjoy that much to get any good value out of that. I guess X2. 15. Have you ever been next to someone that puked on a coaster? Nope 16. Your home park is getting a new B&M and YOU get to pick what type. Do you want an invert/hyper/dive/floorless/flyer/wing/standup? All of the above is not an option. Old school Invert 17. Name your favorite Vekoma. Aftershock the one vekoma that's smoother than 95% of B&Ms 18. What water ride delivers the most unacceptable amount of wetness? I skip water rides 19. If you were able to help design a coaster would you want it to focus on airtime or inversions/positive G's? Good balance of the two 20. Most comfortable trains/seats for a coaster are... Mack OTSR floorless trains what's on blue Fire 21. Choose one: Unlimited front-of-the-line access to your favorite coaster at your home park for one season OR $1,000 cash? $10,00 I don't go to my home park 22. You just got drowned by a flume/rapids/chute-the-chutes. Do you pay the $$ for the dryer machine or do you continue on with your day trudging around like soggy dog? continue like a soggy dog 23. What is the worst food you've had at your home park? bad pizza or something basic like that 24. You're at Cedar Point. You have a one hour ERT session on ONE coaster of your choice. You choose... Maverick 25. Favorite (non-clone) dark ride? N/A 26. What was your favorite park you visited in 2016? Holiday Wolrd for Holiwood Nights if only accounting for non-event visits then Cedar Point 27. What's your current credit count? Don't be shy. 440 28. Winner winner chicken dinner! You just won a trip with hotel and airfare included. The catch is its only good for Six Flags America or Mt Olympus. Which do you choose? Mt. Olympus as I haven't been nad there's other credits right there 29. What is the best Intamin coaster you have ridden? El Toro 30. Your home park has to remove one coaster and one flat for an expansion. Which two rides would you be OK with losing? Tea cups and the SLC 31. Song/music you've heard playing at a park that absolutely has not business being played in a theme park? Too many 32. There's 5 minutes before the park closes. You choose to: Reride your favorite coaster in the park, OR get the new kiddie/junior coaster credit? New Credit unless my favorite ride there is a top 5-10 overall ride 33. Do you visit the waterpark if it's connected to the amusement park? I visit 1 maybe 2 waterparks a year so for the most part no 34. What 2017 addition are you most looking forward to? Wave Breaker @ SWSA unless Mine Blower is opened by the time I go to Orlando this year 35. What was the most disappointing addition to your home park in the past 10 years? nothing as there really hasn't been one 36. The most overrated coaster ever is... Beast this one isn't even close this ride is utter trash 37. What ride makes you wanna vomit? Spinning rides that just spin with no other redeeming qualities 38. What is the best consolation prize you've won at a games booth? Don't waste $ on games 39. And the worst? See above 40. End this questionnaire by posting a picture of your favorite light package (coaster/flat). Pass
  18. I think you caught the ride on a bad day. It was running as best as it has been since Bizarro and my rides were spread through spring, summer, and late October. Now the VR implementation was a disaster though. I really hope this is true. I loved the ride when I first rode it in 2014 as Bizarro it was top 5-10 ride for me back in the day. I know everyone has a right to their own opinion and there are good days and bad days for each coaster, etc etc... but can you try to explain your thoughts on this one? I've ridden both enough to have a solid opinion, and while I can understand the side to preferring Diamondback (though I disagree), I don't see how you can say Nitro isn't even comparable. Nitro first half honestly for me just sucks. The drop is meh the airtime hills pre break run are bad as I've yet to actually get airtime on any of them, the hammerhead is fun but so is the turnaround on every B&M hyper. The bunny hops post break run are good, but not enough to make up for overly lackluster 1st half of the ride. I've ridden Nitro in 2014, 2015, and 2016 all 3 I've come off of Nitro saying to myself why am I wasting any of my time or energy riding this. Diamondback on the other hand provides the most sustained moments of floater on any B&M I've ridden. The first few hills are magical and post break run they're still really good. If Nitro had a quality 1st half it'd be a far superior, but that beginning is just horrible. Is there a particular seat(s) that Nitro is good in? I've ridden both corners of row 9 and a few other rows, but not row 1 yet. I've found that every B&M hyper/giga in better in the back row besides Golaith (SFOG) and the gigas.
  19. Hyper Rankings: 1(1). Skyrush All gigas besides Leviathan fall in this area 2(15). Diamondback 3(16). Golaith (SFOG) 4(17). Superman ROS (SFA) 5(24). Phantom's Revenge 6(25). Magnum XL-200 7(30). Behemoth 8(31). Mako *Leviathan 9(36). Goliath (La Ronde) Huge Gap 10(79). Mamba 11(82). Steel Force 12(83). Steel Eel 13(84). Titan 14(85). Golaith (SFMM) 15(87). Intimidator The next few I don't know what people see in them 16(101). Nitro 17(102). Apollo's Chariot 18(103). Superman (SFNE) I used to love this ride, but this year is ran so horrible no airtime and the train was just vibrating non-stop you could hear in the queue line it was bad. 19 110+ Raging Bull
  20. I know I don't have much to say as I have only been on Joker. But give it another shot when possible after it's been running all day, I found that it got better as the day went on. Form what my friends told me Joker wasn't running poly urethane wheels when I went thus the ride was running sluggish and every ride I got on Joker i was stapled. I do hope Joker is running better then when I rode it. I did ride Joker at like 6 PM and it didn't feel that much better, but maybe i was just annoyed with a jerk employee who pushed my resistant down 3 separate times causing the airtime suck. Next time I'm at SFDK I'll give Joker another chance.
  21. Silverwood I came in having no clue what to expect. I only went as it was an excuse to visit new states, but the park blew me away. The park was nicely themed, really nice employees, and the coasters were really good. If only the park wasn't so far away from anything else.
  22. I've ridden all 9 US rmcs and they are all aweosme rides. Joker is the only one that seems to be lacking a little bit of umph. 1. Lightning Rod 2. Twisted Colossus 3. Iron Rattler 4. Wicked Cyclone 5. Storm Chaser 6. New Texas Giant 7. Outlaw Run 8. Goliath 9. Joker
  23. Of the ones I've been on: 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Iron Rattler 3. New Texas Giant 4. Outlaw Run Don't get the hype it felt sluggish and didn't provide the crazy airtime everyone loves so much. Great irde, but overrated in my eyes 5. Goliath For sure riding Wicked Cyclone and Lighting Rod next year and possibly Storm Chaser and Joker.
