I think that just watching the TPR video for Manhattan Express shows you that that ride sucks. I haven't been on it, and I don't plan to.

Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread
GCI Wooden replied to the_rock401's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If you decide to make a separate thread for the trip report, you would just make a new topic in the Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, and Donkeys forum, if you want to post it here, just post it like any other post. Looking forward to the photos! -
The Official TPR Video Thread!

The Desperado is great "why do they let humans on this thing?" Is it really that painful? -
Unanswered/Dumb Question-Dumb Answer game
GCI Wooden replied to Angry_Gumball's topic in Random, Random, Random
It's the only thing that many people know about the state of New York. What is the point of maximum height requirements on kiddie coasters? I fail to understand this. Someone answered the Darien Lake question a couple posts back, but I was wondering if there is a real reason. -
True. The person below owns 4 cats.

Yes, take pictures! If you decide to take pictures, could you get some of wild thing with fog? I haven't seen that and would love to. Are there any other rides that have fog at night? If so, take pictures! -
Weird Chinese Coasters
GCI Wooden replied to GigaG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
How about a Chinese knockoff chance toboggan. OW! http://rcdb.com/10942.htm# Also, I found this and this immelman look really painful. -
Game: Careful What You Wish For

Granted, Vekoma invented stand-ups and made a stand up boomerang, Six Flags purchased these stand up boomerangs and called it "Stand up Boomerang" I wish that Cedar Fair made another park in Minnesota. -
On the Chinese Knock Off Wild Mouse with Random Chickens, "See ya later pal! Hope to eat you tonight." On one of the many Chinese Knock Off SLCs, "Remember, keep your feet back, hands down, and hang on for dear life." "I like it how it's just slowly bringing us up to our death." "This ride separates the men from the dead guys. I think we're going to be dead guys." On a chinese knock off arrow loop screw, "I just want to note that there are seatbelts on this ride that are apparently optional." "Are there times like right now where you start to think to yourself, 'Maybe I need a new hobby.'?" "Why do we do this to our selfs?" "That was bizarre." On a different Knock off loop screw. "At least the restraints actually lock this time." "I'm just thinking about a few things in my life, you know, things I like the best, Lucky Charms" "My face hurts." Something about chinese knock off coasters makes Robb Hilarious.

Renegade at Valleyfair. I love that twisty drop! -
What was your first Intamin Coaster

Avatar Airbender at Nickelodeon Universe, I wish that there was more of these out there. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
GCI Wooden replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maybe I am just over-analyzing this, but Rougarou finishes the layout (drop to brake run) a few seconds faster than Mantis does now. Rougarou exits the corkscrew by the time Mantis makes it to the MCBR. Maybe this means that they aren't trimming it, or I am trusting the concept animation to much. What do you think? -

I personally hope that they don't touch Enterprise. That's a personal favorite of mine. I guess that Enterprise probably will get removed before RipTide, since it is one of the oldest rides in the park, but I don't see them removing it until it starts having bad reliability problems. I have to agree, Enterprise is one of my favorite rides in the park. I love the amount of freedom you have without any restraints and the forces are strong. It also is fairly reliable (at least I don't see it down much) so I don't see a reason for it to go, I would much rather see Riptide die before Enterprise. -
The Official TPR Video Thread!

The amount of detail Disney puts into theming never ceases to amaze me. Hopefully I can get to Disney world this winter and ride that version. -
I am a weather geek as well as a coaster geek. I like it when they go off when it's still sunny out (and not testing). It happens sometimes and I find it amusing when it does.

Granted, but 45 minutes in the screen freezes. ( this happened to me before, it really sucks) I wish that There were more amusement parks in Minnesota. -

That makes me wonder what they'll do with the train. Maybe Robb could get parts of it in a TPR Bag of Crap ! -
Parks that Don't Get Crowded

I've never had a problem with lines at Nickelodeon Universe ( Mall of America), but all the rides have TERRIBLE capacities. -

Never have seen Helmets on a coaster, but it might be a good idea for some coasters -

I have never seen Renegade's station that empty, normally it's hard to breathe because it's so packed. Also, I haven't had a problem with being stapled in on Excalibur, maybe I'm just lucky...
