The roughest coaster I have been on recently was Thunderhawk at Dorneypark and it's to me, one of the worst coasters I've ever ridden out of 99 coasters. I remember riding it as a kid and it not being that bad, which would have been around the late 80's/early 90's when Journey to the Center of the earth was there and you went into a tunnel before the lift hill. The whole ride after the first drop, I seriously would have jumped off the coaster if I could have...lol....

TPR's EPIC Oktoberfest Trip Report!
deguy123 replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Wow those rides look insane.....hoping to make it one of those overseas in the future sometime! -
GADV will be added to a good coaster collection with adding a standup now. I have only been on Shockwave and Mantis to compare standups, but I wasnt that impressed with them. Hopefully Green Lantern will change my mind. Shockwave was fun because Me, my boyfriend and friend were laughing the whole time.

Wow, this park looks amazing. I never really paid much attention to waterparks until recently after going to Dollywood Splash Country. I'm sorry I didnt go here when I was at Disney in 2008! -
The Golden Ticket Awards
deguy123 replied to FeelTheFORCE's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Everyone is going to have different opinions on what should be #1 on these lists. I mean IMO I agree with the top steel because I have been on it before but don't have a high coaster count (only 99). I agree with the food prices at Knoebles but that park is cheap all around, I mean games are still only $1! -
Great pictures!!! I'm hoping to get there again in the next few years sometime. My boyfriend is dying to finally get there, so Im sure a trip is going to be planned soon! I'm just excited about getting on MF again being that I was slightly disappointed by 305i on Kings Diminion.

We actually last minute remembered to run there and get on.....by the time we got on all the outside ones were taken and we didn't wait in line again. Next time I guess Yeah I'd say 15 minutes was the normal....although we might have waited a bit longer for the Bumper Cars but they are worth it. Some HUGE guy hit me and my car went on one side HAHA.

We left Delaware around 8:30ish and arrived almost exactly at 11 to purchase the wristbands. We both have been to the park before, I went maybe in 2005ish when Whirlwind was still there so it had been a while. We were both excited to be heading back and my daughter sort of remembers going also. She might have been only 4 at the time. The park as usually was fun and we all had a great time. It was more busy then normal days I'm sure but we expected that since it was Labor Day weekend. It was also fairly cold out so we didn't ride Swoosh....Here are some random notes -The Phoenix is just as insane as I rememeber it! LOVED IT. Although me not think about it, my daughters glasses flew off on the last hills(she needed new ones anyway). Next time Ill know better. They had one train on at first which made the line fairly long but once inside waiting for the next train, they added another one. We rode it both front and back! -The Bumper cars are amazing....thats all I have to say! -The Satellite was fun but my leg was digging into this bolt, maybe next time i'll ride alone as my daughter was slamming into me. -Cosmotron was fun, I missed it last time but the song Welcome to the Jungle was on so it was pretty fun. Slow cycle though -The Twister was more fun at nigth for some reason....we rode it both front and back! -The food was sooooo good and priced very well -No line cutting at all -Most rides were a 10-15 minute wait which isn't that bad. Devin excited about heading there but not the drive! Bobby, try to act more exicted We are CLOSE! First ride of the day, really fun ride and its actually better to load like this IMO BUSY! I'll skip it! This is where we were standing waiting while it had one train going. GLASSES ON...not so much afterwards! I actually got on this(I really like the claw) but I had nothing to focus on infront of me UGH Skipping this too after riding Fandango I was the only one that got soaked See no glasses Devin pointing at me! Crazy ride but had fun....actually glad I got on! The Swings don't actually go that high up....maybe too close to Satellite? The Whipper....love that name Acting crazy as usual These boats were having all kinds of problems....we skipped them cause the line was long Waiting for Kosmos Curves.....new credit for us!!! Number 99 for me! I wonder what 100 will be??? LOVE THESE! Last picture! He is packing

Photo TR (small) - Kings Diminion and Maryland State Fair
deguy123 replied to deguy123's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Maryland State Fair....There was a coaster credit there which was way in the back. Luckily we saw the sign for it and headed back there. It was a fun little coaster for being at a fair. We ended up getting there just on time for the 15.00 wristband because the tickets were 20 for 20 tickets. There were a good selection of rides but Bobby had mentioned every year they get less rides. CREDIT! The "Extreme" - I am able to ride this as long as Im staring at the people infront of me and I'M ALL GOOD "-) HighRoller - I'll pass but I got some random person to ride with Bobby cause it was no single riders Buff!!! lol The Fair at night! -
I headed with Bobby and my friend Stacey to KD for the day on Thursday 8/26 to ride 305. Once the park opened we headed to the main attraction for this year. We only had to wait 5 minutes for the back seat and we were going up that amazing lift. After the ride was all over, we were extremely disappointed. Not sure why but we just both didn't really "enjoy" it but that's just our opinion. The park itself was great, we enjoyed most of the day and even hit up the waterpark. I don't write long trip reports just list a bunch of thoughts. I was at the park 5/6 years ago I think so there were a few changes - Dominator is the best coaster at the park IMO (10 minute wait for front and back) - Drop Tower -WOW- I got on that thing being soooooo scared but ended up loving it....(5ish minute wait) - Rebel Yell was fun but then again I love older wooden coaster (5 minute wait) - Shockwave was rough but "ok" (No wait, I didn't ride it on my last visit) - The rest of the coaster are good but nothing to rave about IMO - The park entrance is BEAUTIFUL and the rest of the park was very clean - The waterpark had some good slides but we just rode each one once and then headed pack into the park. Pipeline Peak was really good....and FAST! - Most rides didn't open until 12ish (guessing staff issues) Here are some random pictures Heading into the park! The Crypt.....Not for me...lmao Stacey and Bobby on the ride! Fun little coaster! Dominator! Love this coaster plus it was a new credit! We went into this cave....Bobby wanted to relive his childhood This was an "ok" coaster but new credit for me! Ill end with his......since they are so big on here

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
deguy123 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I completely agree and you know that...We both looked at each other and were like "WTF?" To me the ride was a let down. I can see where people might love it though. I mean and yes I have only been on 100 coasters almost (2 away from 100!) but I definately wouldnt rate it high on my list for some reason. We were going to try the front since we had ridden in the back but it closed down later at night. The park though was very nice and clean, Dominator was great since I havent been there in about 5 years. -

Yeah KD just got a huge coaster plus a rethemed kids area in the same year. People who expected something huge every year just don't think logically I think. I'm so excited about going tomorrow and riding this beast of a coaster! -
New 2011: Rainbow Magicland Themepark (near Rome - Italy)

This looks great! I wish the US would get more themed parks like this. I'm hoping in the future to make it overseas and Italy has always been on the top of my list. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
deguy123 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well said! It looks like a great addition to the park! -
We headed to the beach for the day in Rehoboth Delaware and headed over to Funland for some rides. The place can get very packed but for 20 dollar you get 90 tickers which is a deal. The lines aren't too long and move pretty fast. The Haunted Mansion is always great at night! Also don't go to GROTTO'S head over to Nicolas Pizza, it's way better! Rehoboth Beach Devin and Bobby on the FreeFall Ride! The Gravitron is very well kept like all of their rides...I actually got on. Its one of the few spinning rides I love! The rides are really packed in this place! Sea Dragon is the most insane one Ive ever been on! Haunted Mansion! Devin and Bobby! The dont spin anymore! Not sure when they stopped that but a few years ago they were!
