  4. My prediction is Larson Flyers. I am not going to expect anything more to avoid disappointment. I will say that just Larson Flyers would be the best addition to this park since Renegade, in my opinion. Flyers are tons of fun.
  5. I normally agree with you but I have to step in here... Millennium Force is a highly themed journey back in time to an island filled with dinosaurs. The name makes perfect sense too as they never specified which Millennium they were referring to. Everyone misses the theme because they incorrectly assume they were talking about this Millennium. I'm late, but this is the best post on TPR and it needs to be posted again. As for Valravn, I think it looks great! The logo looks really impressive and the holding brake at 223 feet in the air is going to be awesome. I'm a really big fan of the vest restraints. I'm curious to see how they work out with a dive coaster.
  6. Why of course! The person below me likes spaghetti.
  7. Granted, there is no programs. I wish that there was more good mountain dulcimer music.
  8. It's really not (although I'm talking about IBox). I've had conversations in quiet voices on RMC lift hills. At SFOT, I could hear Titan's lift hill from NTaG's lift hill. B&M, Arrow, and Vekoma are all much louder (although Vekoma isn't really from the lift hills). I don't remember Goliath at SFGAm being loud either, but that could just be because I was so excited and full of anticipation as I was on it that I wouldn't notice that type of thing. If Busch can have an Arrow, then an RMC lift hill wouldn't be a problem.
  9. Fogarty's Cove by , and with singing it. I like both versions.
  10. I'm excited to see where these are put next. They look like fantastic rides. Also,
  11. I prefer silver, but both of these cars are fantastic. I love it!.
  12. RMC always gets a 10/10! Celtic music
  13. It also has a 42" height requirement and is more often than not a kids first looping roller coaster. I believe that helps lead to the lines and merchandise. I doubt SFMM will reduce the 48" height requirement on Revolution. Still think this is a great fix up though, can't believe they're really doing it! You're right, New Revolution will have a minimum height requirement of 48", same as it with the OTSR. I do think that this is the second best announcement of today (With Joker being the best).
  14. You didn't, you typed the word "Type" in all capital letters, not bold letters Who was the first person to gather and drink milk, and what was he/she thinking?
  15. I think "Six Flags Roller Coasters" describes SFGAdv pretty well!
  16. I will also add that in the front car there is a surprisingly strong bit of airtime on the third hill on Wild Thing. I don't understand how one could get no airtime on Wild Thing.
  17. Found this in the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Thread: You should probably try READING the forum before you post: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1626731#p1626731 One week ban for not bothering to pay attention. May I have a one week ban too, please? This has been a very stressful week for me, so this might calm me down a bit. I really love TPR, but I don't feel like I'm completely experiencing this website, so I just want to try it out a little bit, see how I like it. I don't want a full experience of a permanent ban, though, I would not like that. I would really appreciate if you fulfilled my request. I may join Club TPR afterwards. I don't think I've ever seen someone request a ban on the forum before?
  18. The problem is the ride is under 100 feet tall. Unless they added a solid chunk onto the lift, that hill would need to be much, much shorter than that because there is already a raised curve before the airtime hill. The best it could be with that in mind is a bunny hop (in terms of size) for ejector, but there are already multiple opportunities for bunny hills later in the course. I'm with you on wanting airtime (which I'm sure will be delivered regardless), but I think its almost too obvious that this might be the centerpiece inversion for the ride. There's nothing wrong with a long zero-G stall. I really enjoyed Twisted Colossus' stall, it was one of the best parts of the ride. I thoroughly enjoyed the stall on Goliath. I'd love to see more.
  19. Love the infinity trains! I made a small Euro-fighter with them and it was fun to make! I'll probably post a photo tomorrow. Also, I ran the Kings Land park (The one included on the game with Intimidator 305 and Anaconda) and I was getting over 60 FPS (Which is about typical for my computer). I'm very impressed with this update. EDIT: Took some screenshots.
  20. I feel bad for giving that a view. The good thing is, it seems that all the comments are telling him that these are safe, and that he doesn't know what the word "Dangerous" means.
  21. I believe it was High Roller at Valleyfair last Friday.
  22. I was at the commercial shoot to! what where you wearing? Bright red shirt and jeans. I was mostly riding with a guy with a neon orange shirt on Saturday. I'm starting to think that Excalibur must have a generational appeal. While I have no love for it, my mother of all people finds it great! Weird. I like Excalibur, it has one very strong moment of air that makes the whole ride worthwhile. About the generational thing, I enjoy it, and I'm a younger member. My dad would rather have it be a parking lot than Excalibur, and when I was there with a bunch of friends on Friday, let's just say that no one wanted a re-ride...
  23. I think that they have only built one at Happy Valley Shanghai.
  24. Because TPR and Youtube are a lot more entertaining than work. Why do mosquitos exist?
