Your first Arrow Dynamics coaster
vette2006c5r replied to stashua123's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It took me a while to get my first Arrow credit. It was Gemini at Cedar Point, I remember it being a little boring. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Sounds like a lot of people don't want a B&M dive. I know a lot of cedar fair parks that would take it off your hands. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
vette2006c5r replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Once my fiancee and I board a train, I usually tell her things like this coaster has an 800 foot drop underground, or this wooden roller coaster has 10 corkscrews. Sometimes she believes me. I hope I didn't make this list. -
Total Coaster Noob, need advice
vette2006c5r replied to Coasternoob's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
When you refer to your stomach, is it your nerves, or because you get nauseous due to motion sickness? If it is your nerves; you will become more comfortable the more you ride, and if you ride different types. Eventually you will loose almost all your fears. -
Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread

I was at VF on Sunday. I actually missed riding Renegade because it kept closing and opening and closing again. An employee said there was something wrong with a train. I think they were trying to run 2 trains but were unable to. -
Oldest Coaster You've Ridden

Thunderhawk @ Dorney. I believe it was built in 1924, but has had a major remodel. I always enjoyed this one. -
What is your next park?
vette2006c5r replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
ValleyFair will be next one. Going home, back out to the east coast this summer too, so I may hit up some old favorites like Knobles, Hershey and SFGA. -
Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread

No, you probably won't need a Fast Lane pass. There may be a few crowds on Sunday, but you will probably be able to ride all of the coasters once in about three hours or so (probably less if you arrive earlier in the day). Have fun! Thanks for the info. Looks like this will be my first and last time riding Excalibur, I will have to provide a full review, I know everyone can't wait. I think a compact and forcefull B&M Inverted would be perfect for this park. Something like Batman or Talon would be my hope. -

Heading up to VF for the first time on Sunday. Any need for a fast pass? I am expecting crowds like at DP. -
HI there, Recently moved to MN, so Valleyfair is my new home park. Have yet to make the visit. The Wisconsin Dells is close too. Came from the east coast, so many of my coaster rides have come from there. I've always enjoyed roller coasters, and looking forward to being part of this community. Outside of this hobby I enjoy cars and beers.

Does anyone know why it has many mechanical problems? I don't remember hearing this many stories when it was in California. I can only speculate, but I wonder if the move did a number, plus being in PA, Stinger is exposed to cold snowy winters, rain, and some large temperature fluctuations. That has to do a number on roller coasters.

Best Family Coaster

Pepsi Orange Streak at MOA surprised me. Lots of close encounters with other rides as well as walls.
