So my brother and I are going to Busch Gardens on Saturday July 8th. We can get into the park for free because of the complimentary admission deal for military members. Assuming it'll be pretty crowded (correct me if I'm wrong), we're planning on getting the Quick Queue Unlimited pass. We haven't been to the park since Tempesto was being built, and I saw they're not included in the pass. I was just wondering, do Tempesto and InvadR have single rider lines? Thanks. EDIT: I saw the weather as of now looks like AM Thunderstorms (although that could change). Is it possible to buy the passes inside the park after I see if it's crowded or not?

Mantis because I'm absolutely terrified of Praying Mantises. No joke. If I had to pick another, I'd say Zombie Ride at that Mexican park whose name I'm too lazy to look up. I'm actually not even sure that ever opened. Nonetheless, zombies are a stupid idea for a roller coaster. It seems like a permanent Halloween overlay for a Six Flags Coaster.

Just found out today my family is planning a 3 day Cruise to the Bahamas on the Disney Dream then 2 days at WDW in October for my mom's 50th birthday. I'm 16 and my brother's 19 but you're never too old for Disney Really excited, but can anyone let me know the best things to do on the Dream? Like I've been researching but I want to know the best places to eat and all that.

I loved when he called I305 "The coaster that eats up Millennium Force and craps it all over Cedar Point."

I'm gonna limit it to coasters I've been on. Fury 325 Apollo's Chariot OR Nitro I'd choose Wicked Cyclone but Gemini is the only hybrid I've been on Alpengeist El Toro Lightning Racer Maverick Griffon Skyrush Mystery Mine OR I305 if I'm allowed 2 gigas Just to add to the fun... Dark Ride- Haunted Mansion WDW Drop Tower- Drop Zone at KD Indoor Coaster- Rock N' Roller Coaster Family Coaster- Verbolten

Alpengeist is the father of all inverts. It may not be the best, but no other invert is as imposing and grand. Closest you get is Banshee but even then it's not the same. It's just something about how Alpengeist rises above the trees and everything around it that makes me love it.

^ if they fixed the MCBR I'll be so happy

Am I missing something? I thought there were only 3

I'm curious as to what the green structure is. Hoping it's a new claw that I can comfortably ride at 6"7'

I'm not sure why I found this post sort of funny, but yes, it is very very common to plant fully grown trees as part of landscaping. Yeah I don't know too much about landscaping and the ins and outs of the theme park business. I just really love roller coasters

The more recent POV's of InvadR seem to have some trees that weren't there in the beginning. I don't know if I just wasn't watching closely at first, but it looks like in the TPR and Coasterforce POV's the first turn after the drop and the turnaround have trees that weren't there in the official POV. Does anybody know if they're planting trees around the ride? Is it even possible to plant fully grown trees? It seems like there should be some more landscaping and I trust BGW to do it right.

No I really don't care that much. I just feel bad that he can't enjoy the best invert

Sorry I keep double posting

I like most of what the Coaster Studios guy has to say, especially as his content improves, but I hate that he doesn't like Alpengeist that much

It almost seems like BGW is using the "you can't come" technique from South Park

^I like the idea of making it 42" with an adult and 48" alone, but it's just one of those things you have to deal with I guess. I'm 6"7' and could ride most rides at a young age (hence my love for them), but I still know it sucks to see those awesome coasters and not be able to ride them. Is this a problem at BGT too? I used to live in Tampa when I was five and could ride Scorpion ( Scorpion) but nothing else, and I was pretty tall. I know really tall five year olds still can't ride like Kumba or Montu but I'm just curious.

^hm, that's weird. I haven't seen much talk about Stormrunner on here. Personally one of my favorite Intamin coasters

Just copying and pasting from the new topic I tried to start I'd personally give my votes to Griffon, Stormrunner, and Bizarro (SFGAdv). Griffon gives a better feeling of flight than any wing coaster I've been on (except MAYBE Gatekeeper), and is my favorite coaster hands down. I recognize it's not fundamentally the best out there, but I personally love everything about it. Stormrunner has a pretty forceful launch and some crazy elements. The flying snake dive alone makes it worth more praise than it gets. Lastly, Bizarro, at least when I rode it, exceeded my expectations. It was really forceful. Maybe I was just excited to ride it after putting Medusa in all my parks in RCT2.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's an UNDERRATED coaster forum. If there is, sorry I'd personally give my votes to Griffon, Stormrunner, and Bizarro (SFGAdv). Griffon gives a better feeling of flight than any wing coaster I've been on (except MAYBE Gatekeeper), and is my favorite coaster hands down.

The flying snake dive alone makes it worth more praise than it gets. Lastly, Bizarro, at least when I rode it, exceeded my expectations. It was really forceful. Maybe I was just excited to ride it after putting Medusa in all my parks in RCT2. What are some of your favorite underrated coasters?

I was just looking back at the posts from when Europe in the Air was announced. Little did they know... oh boy

You are so right! I partially agree- their new stuff is absolute trash, but Infinity on High is one of the best albums I've ever listened to. I enjoy their newer stuff, but no doubt it used to be better. They can't one up themselves after Folie a Deux

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsyltucky Wait. What? That's a real thing!? Yep. I'm from Carlisle, where you can routinely see trucks flying a confederate flag or toilets on people's lawns with flowers in them.

I've always considered Virginia number 5 in coaster states behind Ohio, Pennsylvania (represent), Florida, and California. I can't really think of what you would put above Virginia, since the quality of most coasters is so high. Quality over quantity.

While I would have loved InvadR to be enveloped in trees or had a trapper's village during the ride, I have 110% faith in BGW to make this ride a beauty. I remember seeing Verbolten and thinking how empty the beginning looks, now it looks like it belongs there. If the bare land concerns anyone (which I doubt it does), don't let it. I'm so excited to see how BGW works the landscaping on their latest masterpiece

BGW and Hershey Park. Imagine having Storm Runner in a setting as amazing as BGW
