  1. Ah yes, the classic "Alvey Accelerometer", a very good way to judge a ride!
  2. ^That was an incredible video! I hope you make more like it in the future!
  3. It looks like a kiddie whip. Knoebel's Kiddie Whip, from TPR's Road To Cedar Point 2011 photo trip report.
  4. That looks incredible! Wish I didn't have to fly to the UK to see it in person, though.
  5. They are similar. Ninja Turtles is a Gerstalauer Sky Fly, and Skyhawk is a Gerstalauer Sky Roller. Sky Roller stays level: Sky Fly tilts:
  6. This appears to be their other announcement. "2016 Season Passes are on sale for only $67.99! But that isn't all... renewing passholders get a FREE Fast Lane PLUS!"
  7. Like the gentleman for Screamscape put, "What do they want them to do? Fill under the rides with pools of sharks and alligators to stop people"? Sad thing is, in our society, there will still be that ONE fool. If they did that, they would have to put up a few more signs: "Sharks and alligators are dangerous animals, entering their pool could result in injury or death" "Entering the pools could result in drowning" "Do not feed the sharks and alligators"
  8. If only an expert would come out and publically warn the nation of the danger of door-to-foot collisions.
  9. Looks great. I like Flying Scooters!
  10. I saw the concept art for delirium and I got really excited thinking that VF announced that. Then I read your post.
  11. I'd pick Boss. I'd love to see what RMC could do with the terrain and layout.
  12. Why don't they just give it normal Intamin hyper trains like the ones on Millennium Force, Expedition GeForce, Thunder Dolphin, etc.
  13. Also, Canada's Wonderland and Kings Dominion are making their announcements tomorrow. After tomorrow, we will only be waiting on Carowinds, Cedar Point, Michigan's Adventure, Valleyfair, and California's Great America for their announcements. EDIT: Oh, I forgot about Dorney. We're waiting on them too.
  14. The webcam isn't loading for me. I want to nerd out over an evac!
  15. I would be over-joyed to see RMC retrack this ride, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was GCI.
  16. Yea like why I gotta pay to get in the park and gotta pay for a ride never understood Well, let's see. Let's pretend it's free. They can get 2 people every 10 minutes onto the ride. That's 12 people an hour, or 144 people during a 12 hour day. Total. Coasters can get up to 1,500 people PER HOUR. So, 30 minutes after the park opens, they have to close the Sling Shot line because the people in the end of that line will be in that line for the entire 12 hours they are at the park. But hey, at least they got Sling Shot for free. Exactly. Upcharge attractions double as skip-the-line services for those attractions.
  17. Twice The last two pages have probably been my favorite on TPR. Thanks for the entertainment.
  18. Valleyfair already has a HUSS Top Spin (RipTide), another one isn't necessary. If anything, Thunderhawk's removal means that RipTide might be on its way out sooner or later. The one we have isn't necessary, in my opinion. I have never seen a line for it. I really wouldn't mind seeing Riptide bite the dust. Behemoth and Leviathan are not the exact same ride. Yes, they are both B&M hypers, but the layouts aren't the same, or even similar.
  19. Lesson of the day: Don't mix 9 different lotions together. The smell wil not be satisfactory.
  20. I really hope this happens, flyers are a ton of fun.
  21. Devin Olson's "From Dreams to Screams" documentary for Fury 325 will be released on September 1st!
  22. Europe. Cats or dogs?
  23. I still will never forget that on one of our tours we managed to rent out Olympia Looping for an hour before the Wurtzburg Fair opened. Over half of the people on our tour took one or two rides and then stopped riding because it was "too intense." I had never seen such a large group of roller coaster pussies in my life! So many people I know would kill to have an hour on that ride, and most of them just treated it as a "one and done credit." Such a waste. Next time we do ERT on Olympia Looping, I'll let you know and you can be my riding partner! This coaster looks incredible, I can't believe that people wouldn't take full advantage of a ton of ERT on it!
  24. I like log flumes because I have never been completely soaked on one, but rather an "acceptable amount of wetness" Log flumes are awesome, and if Carowinds adds one I would be overjoyed.
  25. http://mentalfloss.com/article/30195/11-ways-advertisers-make-food-look-delicious Do you prefer cake or pie?
