^ I see it now. You're right. They are further away from Legend than I thought. -

The "head things" makes me think of head choppers like a tunnel. Also why do I feel like that thing covered in a giant trash bag in the background a statue of the headless horseman? -
2/10 Taco salad?

Six Flags because I haven't been there. Would you rather eat a shoe or 1000 tacos in one year?

HW posted this photo on their Facebook page today which makes me think the end of Legend will be altered. -
Buy or Build your own theme park???
ShaneH replied to Jodon's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would go to Holiday World and offer them 600,000 million to help them out. I wouldn't try to buy the park but donate the money and ask to be on the "in" group. I would want to help pick out rides and attractions for them. I would use some money to buy a private jet and hire a pilot. I would spend 2 years going around the world to different parks. -

And they could add a tunnel to the first drop like a couple GCI's have. -

^^I think you've got it right. GCI is retracking Legend and it is possibly getting Millennium Flyer trains. -

I personally love the double helix and its my favorite part of the ride. It shouldn't be painful because you are already up against the side of the train. If you sit on the right side than it can be uncomfortable, but sitting on the left is just plain fun. -

I think they could move the legends drop further away because in that ten year design plan it looks like the red line is a train that goes from Halloween to thanksgiving and it goes between legend and frightful falls a and they are making room to fit it through there. -
Your Home Park Lines
ShaneH replied to Imagineer Josh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
These times are for June because 8 out of my 11 trips this year were in June when crowds are light. Voyage- 10, 5, 5. Not a bad wait. Thunderbird- 10, 10, 5. Not a bad line at all. Operators were fast in its opening year and could dispatch in 70 seconds. Raven- 20, 0, 5. This and Legend are only busy in the morning because they are near the entrance. Legend- 30, 10, 10. Only ran one train this year causing the longest lines of any coaster. Mammoth- 5, 90, 60. Get here as soon as the ropes for the water park drop to save a lot of time. Wildebeest- 5, 60, 40. Go here second after Mammoth as Mammoths line is 90 minutes long 10 minutes after the water park opens. This line gradually becomes long so the riding window is larger. The long lines at HW are always in the water park. In the dry park you shouldn't have a problem with lines if you visit before July or after August. -
If you owned your own theme park
ShaneH replied to martinb's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My park would be located in Iowa, Kansas, Arizona, or any other place without much competition. I would have the first ever coaster face off. I would choose 4 coaster manufacturers:Intamin, B&M, RMC, and either Premier, GCI, TGG, or Mack. Then I would give them each $25 million and a plot of land and tell them to make the best possible coaster with the money+ land. The first year there would be a massive enthusiasts event where people from all over would come, ride and rate the coasters to determine which manufacture is truly the best on an even playing field. I would also have a couple basic flat rides and kiddie rides. I would have a water park that is included with the price of admission. After 5 or so years I would add a family coaster and better flat rides. I would expand my water park and after 8-10 years I would get another coaster from the manufacturer that won. It would be bigger and more expensive than anything else in the park. -

Coasters at Night
ShaneH replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
TTD is awesome at night and extremely intense. All of Holiday World's coasters deliver great night rides. -
Best and Lamest Coaster "Ending"
ShaneH replied to Teddymonster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thunderbird uses a very effective barrel roll at the end and it is extra fun because of how slow you are going. -
What was your favorite new ride of 2015?
ShaneH replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thunderbird is excellent. Justice League ruined my trip to SFSL. I went to SFNE two weeks before WC opened so I wasn't able to ride it. -

ShaneH replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I wouldn't be surprised if HW gets one. They like to be the first to get/do something. This would be a good fit for the park and would draw people from all over. This would get them closer to their goal of becoming a destination. -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
