Best Wooden Coaster Collection
ShaneH replied to Password121's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
1. Holiday World (Voyage is amazing, Legend outstanding, and Raven is great) 2. Knoebels (Phoenix is fantastic and Twister is very good. Flying Turns is unique, but not very exciting) 3. Kennywood (Jack Rabbit and Thunderbolt are awesome and Racer is pretty fun) Honorable Mentions: Kings Island, Kings Dominion, and El Toro I can't wait to get to Dollywood and try out their woodies. -

Kentucky Kingdom (SFKK, KK) Discussion Thread
ShaneH replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm just happy they aren't marketing the super loop as a coaster I'm pleased with these additions. With 2017 being an off year they sure are doing a lot to improve the park. Small things like more ticket booths and extra shade can really make a day at the park more enjoyable. As for the super loop I am actually excited. I think the hang time at the top make these things awesome and the ride will improve their already solid collection of flats. -

Theme Park Bucket list
ShaneH replied to witting's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Since I probably won't leave the US for another ten years I'll just stick to my bucket list parks in the US. The top 5 SFMM- I really enjoyed Great Adventure and this park seems to be on the same level. Carowinds- I'll admit it...Fury is like 70% of the reason I want to go here. Dollywood-Looks like a fantastic park with a solid coaster lineup. LR looks really cool. I plan on going in 2017! Hersheypark- Some cool Intamins, a unique B&M invert, and a dueling GCI put this park on the list. Silver Dollar City- A unique lineup + a great atmosphere makes this a must visit. I plan on going in 2017! Others SFGAm Orlando Parks WoF Dorney Lagoon -
What rides have you ridden in their debut season?
ShaneH replied to Olsor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Almost every park gets a new ride each year so most parks I go to I ride a new ride. I'll just stick to the coasters. 2016- Joker (SFGAd) and Storm Chaser (KK) 2015- Thunderbird (HW) and I went to SFNE but Wicked Cyclone hadn't opened yet. I tend to be a little behind and I'm just trying to catch up. I still haven't gotten on Lightning Rod and Fury 325, but have plans to ride them in the future. I'll ride New Mean Streak in its debut year if it comes out in 2018 -

Their biggest problem though is that they have very minimal room to expand and height restrictions as compared to KI and HW who both have tons of room to expand. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

“I would tell you when we would be announcing what’s going on here, but then I wouldn’t be working at Cedar Point anymore and I’d probably be a reporter for Channel 3,” Clark says. “So I can’t tell you, but it will be worth the wait.” This leads me to believe it is a 2018 project -

Dollywood Discussion Thread
ShaneH replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've been on my fair share of RMCs and on all they tell everyone to put their arms up and then they check the restraints. I have a few questions, When do 2017 Season Passes go on sale? How much will a regular season pass cost once they go on sale? (Not including Splash Country) Will I be able to get into this years Smoky Mountain Christmas event with a 2017 pass? Is the Christmas event crowded, do all the coasters run in cold weather, and is it worth a 4 hour drive? -
