^ yes it should, I'm hoping that will give some sensation of speed, as the simulated pov seemed to drag ass through that helix. -

I'm pretty sure I already see a trim on it -
Ferrari World Discussion Thread
Nickstroberg replied to Captain Jack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have high hopes for this coaster, but that track is ugly as sin. -
I'm gonna have to say Millennium Force, I've gone to CP many times every year since I was a wee child. And since thats just an all-around fun coaster, we usually ride it numerous times every visit. I would approximate in the 100's, but I've never been a counter. Second and third , sadly, go to Big Dipper and Double Loop at the once great Geauga Lake(once great as in pre Six Flags era/eventual closure). Those were my very first "big coasters", and me mum and I used to ride them over and over again overtime we went. Since we live 30-40 minutes away, this was quite often

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Nickstroberg replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^GOOD! I hate that ugly-ass red and orange combo. It looked SO much nicer when its supports were silver (Magnum color scheme). I sincerely hope they paint it. -
^ Yeah, a lot of the ride crews at Cedar Point are really impressive. Especially when they're running all the trains for a coaster, and there isn't a single instance of stacking. After growing up going there and seeing their operations, I find myself getting really pissed off at ride crews at other parks my GF and I attend. Six Flags doesn't really seem to train their crews too well, or maybe they just let anyone do it, as opposed to picking out crews based on efficiency.

Gardaland Discussion Thread
Nickstroberg replied to Rockman89's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was also wondering this! I'm guessing that they will Not that I'll make it out to ride this, I'm kinda hoping for the old restraints. I find them to be so much more comfortable. -
Lagoon Discussion Thread

As much as I'd like it to be a frefall element in the tower, I just don't see it happening. Fingers crossed though! -
I think it will be fantastic. As long as those "small" drops pack a punch, which I'm sure they will, I doubt we'll hear any more bitching after this puppy opens. And as for the Scream repainting debate, I honestly kind of hope it stays the same colors, for some reason I've always liked the color scheme (with fresh paint of course).

Which rides have given you greyouts?
Nickstroberg replied to rcjp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My first ever grey out, and only for many years, was on Laser at Dorney. I believe I was 13 at the time...? Only ride that ever gave me that experience at that age, or only time I was aware of it happening. Miss that ride so much However, now in my twenties, I find myself going grey on the bottom of the first drop/overbank on MilF almost every time I ride it. Also I305's first turn, I lose my vision entirely, until Im coming down the first camelback. And last but not least, I get tunnel vision on the first big turn (after the first camelback) on Skyrush. My girlfriend and I both personally love the sensation. -
Romon World to open in China
Nickstroberg replied to _koppen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This park is now officially on my wishlist of trips I'm hoping for a pop of that xtrain soon, some of those turns look extremely tight and forceful, may end up being the star of the park! -

Carowinds Discussion Thread

^If its different, I honestly see it being because the park, or CF KNOWS the dumbass general public will throw shit at riders when entering the tunnel. Similar to the death of the DUELING Dragons. People are stupid and have ruined/will ruin anything. -
Carowinds Discussion Thread
Nickstroberg replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
About the temporary support: I305 also had one, albeit in a different position, but had one for the lift during its construction. It was removed when the piece similar to the keystone was added(the apex piece, think vaults and archways). Picture here!rcdb.com/4520.htm#p=24461 That one in the bottom left! Even though its different location, and company, I think this shows that its just a required step when building these newer style lifts with far fewer supports than yesteryear. -
Best B&M and Best Intamin
Nickstroberg replied to grsupercity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well.... being an Intamin fanboy, and having an Intamin fangirl girlfriend, we've gone on a lot of trips to ride a lot of the big/good Intamins. We haven't done trips based around B&M's yet so I have a more limited selection for those (although 2015 we're doing a big B&M summer). SO, after stating that I would say: -Favorite Intamin is a tie between Skyrush, and El Toro. Both perfect in their own way. -Favorite B&M is either Afterburn, Great Bear, or Leviathan. Probably Leviathan though, as I feel its a B&M Millennium Force, meaning its just fast, pure fun, without being too crazy. Just a all-around pleasant experience -
