Best Roller Coaster you rode THIS MONTH!
Genx24 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Because my answer will almost always be El Toro, I'm gonna throw a curveball and say Joker at GAdv. Hell of a lot of fun. -
No no no... OVER 2 1/2 hours. It just doesn't go any higher. See the little plus sign? Lol Christ, I missed that. I just don't know what to say lol. How is 2.5+ hours worth strapping a phone to your face to see a cheesy movie? Especially on a ride that is so great it doesn't need extra bells and whistles.

How Often Do You Go To Your Local Park?
Genx24 replied to sfmmrules!'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I try to get to Great Adventure at least once a month, to varying success. I go to Dorney once a year, visit Coney Island once or twice, and if I'm really lucky, squeeze in a trip to Hershey. -
Steel Force stinks. There's really nothing else to say about it. People flock to it because it is the tallest ride in the park and think the ride will be good because of that. The park could use something new and actually thrilling to make people realize the error of their ways. Hopefully they clear out the silly dinosaur exhibit, and put that land to better use in the near future.

Visited with JCoaster last night and just wanted to share a few thoughts on Joker. This ride is bat-s#!t insane, totally worthy of its namesake. The ride must have some Joker venom in it, because when I got off I was howling and cackling like a loon. Rode both sides once, one time facing out and once facing in and got two totally different experiences. I think it's a much better ride than Green Lantern at Magic Mountain, which is the only similar ride I had in my credits to compare Joker too. Great addition. Like JCoaster said in his post, it was a great night at the park. Walk-on's and station waits galore. Finally got on Ka for the first time and it will probably be my last time in quite a while. Sat in row 3 and my head was getting jackhammered on the launch. New trains, please? Not gonna hold my breath. Also got to meet El Toro Ryan. Really nice guy and he and his crew were cranking trains out of the station. As most know, El Toro can be very hit or miss in the ops department, so it was great to see one of our own on the ball, hustling with dispatches. "My back."

Talon is probably my 2nd favourite invert, after the Batman clones. Hydra is at the bottom of my floorless list, albeit I've only ridden five rides of the type. I actually like Hydra, a lot more than most, it seems. Steel Force, on the other hand is one of my least favourite coasters ever. Just a glorified mine train that has nothing of note besides a decent helix and some mild air on the return hills.
