I love to snowboard especially bombing down the hills and doing tricks. I also play rct2 and build Lego roller coasters. -

B&M vs Intamin
nicman replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Intamin is better for ride experience but B&M is more efficient. I prefer old B&M's over Intamin coasters. -

I think Thunderbird will probably be in my top 10 favorite coasters. I am more excited for Thunderbird than even Fury325 and Twisted Colossus. My favorite picture so far -

First of all, you just said you think they were NOT getting a wing coaster, now you say they are? I really wonder how your mind works. I changed my mind after I knew that Wing coasters have a great capacity. Anyway here is my updated top 5 roller coaster types that I would want for the new Canada's Wonderland coaster. 1.RMC Hybrid 2.Intamin launched coaster like Maverick 3.B&M invert 4.Wing coaster 5.Floorless coaster -

One of the important things for a new coaster at Canada's Wonderland is the capacity because they have such a high attendance. I think that Canada's Wonderland will probably get a Wing coaster but if I could choose the coaster I would choose a massive RMC Hybrid. -

The reason why Disney is boring for me is because I prefer thrills. Anyway If the new coaster were to be a Wing coaster I would prefer the layout to be similar to Gatekeepers layout but extended with a few changes to make it unique. What would you like the layout to be if it were a Wing coaster? Apparently GateKeeper isn't a favourite to enthusiasts. Neither am I fan of Wing's in general as loading times are longer (effecting capacity). Oh and you should take a trip to Magic Mountain then. It would give it some uniqueness to the park. If loading times are a problem then I do not think that Canada's Wonderland will get a Wing coaster without solving this problem because of their attendance. Which type of coaster would you like that goes with the theming of Ziz? -
What is your next park?
nicman replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

Have you ever been on a Vekoma SLC? I would not like a Vekoma coaster because not only are they rough and painful, Canada's Wonderland needs a superior smooth ride to make it a world class park(okay maybe if they removed Flight Deck and Time warp it would be a world class park). Canada's Wonderland already has enough rough rides so they do not need another rough and painful roller coaster. I think one of the reasons why Cedar Fair likes Canada's Wonderland so much is because it is the best amusement park in Canada. A lot of my class mates have been to Canada's Wonderland instead of La Ronde even though La Ronde is much closer were we live. I think the reason why Canada's Wonderland has a much higher attendance than La Ronde is because of there advertising, like I see commercials all the time for Canada's Wonderland and none for La Ronde. Anyway for a new coaster I would just like to see a new forceful B&M. Have you ridden a new vekoma? The new track design and trains make it a pretty smooth ride. No, I have never been on one or even seen one. I do not think I can trust Vekoma after going on a Vekoma SLC, anyway back to discussing CW. -

The only bad rides from B&M are the standup coasters which no one is buying, other than that B&M is a solid company with no flaws. I just wish their new coasters would be more forceful. I think Canada's Wonderland will get a new forceful roller coaster and maybe it will be one of the best roller coasters B&M will have ever made. With every post you make, it seems more and more likely that CW is the only park you've ever been to. Anyways, Standups were a fad. So the model isn't bad, the market just isn't there anymore. Oh, and Wonderland is already a destination park (not Disney standard but destination park, yes) I have been to La Ronde as well and a few other boring parks like Disney. -

It is the only SLC I have ridden, and having a Vekoma SLC at a park like Canada's Wonderland is horrible. -

I understand that CW is most likely getting a new coaster in 2015. They pull the most guest in a year every season. Its understandable. People saying that the park is neglected and NEEDS something is getting crazy. But I do agree there deserving giving the parks performance, and they really need a good looper I agree that a lot of parks are due for a new coaster. That is why I was disappointed when Carowinds got Fury325 instead of any other neglected Cedar Fair park. It seems that the only parks Cedar Fair cares about is Canada's Wonderland, Carowinds, Kings Dominion, Kings Islande and of course Cedar Point. I think the reason why Michigan's Adventure is so neglected is because Cedar Point is close to Michigan's Adventure and Cedar Fair wants more people to go to Cedar Point than Michigan's Adventure. I wish Cedar Fair would sell Michigan's Adventure to someone who is interested in making it better. It was only Paramount that was neglecting Canada's Wonderland, as soon as Cedar Fair bought it they completely turned this park around. I don't think MiA being close to CP is the reason why they are neglected because KI is actually slightly closer to CP than MiA, but Cedar Fair has made some significant investments in KI with Diamondback and Banshee. You are right, then why is Michigan's Adventure so neglected? -

I hope that now that Kinzel is not in charge anymore, all the neglected Cedar Fair parks will get a new decent roller coaster. -
