Especially considering Driskill "Mountain" is one of the most underwhelming state highpoints of all time: Come on, Louisiana! What a joke of a high point! That's nowhere near as cool as New Jersey's state high point. I mean come on, such a small state and they have this awesome hill!? AND that monument? -

What is the best floorless?
AJK replied to ddaver177's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've ridden Superman: Krypton, Scream, and Rougarou. The way I see it, Krypton craps on both of them. It is exceptionally smooth and while I may have found Scream more forceful, it was pretty rattly. I found Rougarou even worse than Scream as the intensity is only there in the first vertical loop. -

Concrete & Coasters > Themed rides 6. Have you ever ridden a drop tower taller than 200 feet? I think so. Power Tower is like 250 right? 7. What is your favorite roller coaster? Maverick. 8. When you go to a park three things you must have with you are... Cargo Shorts, my phone, and an extra pair of cargo shorts for when you have the urge to splurge 9. How many times did you visit your home park last season? Once. I very recently became an enthusiast. But I also visited Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Magic Mountain, each once. So that isn't half bad. 10. The first Intamin coaster you rode is... Maverick. 11. Have you ever spent an entire day at a park alone? Not yet. 12. The independent park you go to the most is... I've never been to an independent park. 13. Does B&M or Intamin make better hyper coasters? I've ridden none of either. 14. If it was free, what upcharge ride what you jump on right now? I don't like flat rides. If there is an upcharge roller coaster, sign me up. 15. What is the best food at your home park? I don't eat food at parks. I starve myself until I leave. No seriously, on my visit to Magic Mountain I arrived at 11:00 AM and didn't eat anything until I left at 8:00. And it was a big mac. And it was really good. 16. The name of the worst GCI you've ridden is... Apocalypse. Also the worst coaster I've ridden. 17. When you're not riding something at your home park where are you? Home. 18. Favorite water ride in a dry park (flume, rapids, etc) Maverick is a water ride! 19. Do you get your photo taken with park mascots? No. 20. Name one personal item you've lost at a park. Never lost something. 21. Name of the worst B&M invert you're ridden is... Goliath at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

Maverick 23. Name your favorite coaster/ride manufacturer? Intamin 24. What waterpark have you visited most often?

The indoor coaster/dark ride you ride most often is... I've only ridden two indoor coasters - Space Mountain and Rock n' Roller Coaster. But I rode Space Mountain twice and RNRC once so I guess the answer to that is Space Mountain. 38. When you spend the day at the park what do you drink all day? Caffeinated beverages such as Coca-Cola. 39. The name of the best B&M you've ridden is? Tatsu. Yes I am a sad enthusiast but I'm brand new to all this (though I know about literally every major thrilling roller coaster on the planet). I'd say it's pretty cool that I've been to SFFT, SFMM, and CP all in one year. I'm only fifteen years of age as well. So come on, that's a bit of an accomplishment!

Michigan's Adventure (MiA) Discussion Thread
AJK replied to MagnumForce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
In all seriousness, Michigan's Adventure is due for their next coaster in 2018. Look at the years their three most thrilling coasters opened: Wolverine Wildcat: 1988 Shivering Timbers 1998 Thunderhawk 2008 So in 2018 I predict another relocation, though this time it will be an actually good coaster. Here are some rides for sale on Interlink: A Schwarzkopf Looping star model Kanonen from Liseberg (the smallest Intamin Accelerator with a top hat, a loop, snappy airtime hills, and a heartline roll) Venus GP from Space World (Maurer Söhne looper) Saturn from Space World (Stealth Clone, 200 ft Intamin accelerator) If it's not a relocation, here are some rides that would fit well with their current coaster lineup: Chance Hyper GTX Gerstlauer Eurofighter Hyper from anyone Any good launch coaster As for the location of this new coaster, I most want it to be along a new path connecting Wolverine Wildcat to the Thunderhawk area. That would be a perfect location for any coaster I just listed. This park has way too much space. If they really don't want to put it there, they could put it in Corkscrew's current location. Kanonen and Zaturn will fit. A very compact Hyper GTX and Eurofighter might as well. Edit: I received an update from Interlink's email saying that Zaturn goes for 2.37 million USD. That's pretty cheap -
California Great America (CGA) Discussion Thread
AJK replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It says "Twists on both ends" so it must be either Wicked Twister or a brand new Intamin Impulse. That's a weird route to take considering Intamins are so high maintenance and break down a lot. But it checks off the launch coaster spot, and that's what I think they care about. Also if it is Wicked Twister maybe Cedar Point will work on that long rumored boardwalk section -

Michigan's Adventure (MiA) Discussion Thread
AJK replied to MagnumForce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ That's a great idea! On top of that they should plop Zaturn, Venus GP (both from Space World), Kanonen (from Liseberg), or a Schwarzkopf looping star (all four are for sale on Interlink) in Corkscrew's spot (So they don't have two bloody arrow loopers and get a decent looping coaster)! Zaturn in Corkscrew's location. Not a long shot at all! It would replace the mini go-karts and stretch a bit into the lake but I still find it a plausible location for it. Kanonen will also fit (a lot more easily). -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
AJK replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What if Michigan's Adventure got one of those coasters for sale on interlink? I could see Kanonen, Zaturn, Venus (The Maurer Looper), or the Schwarzkopf looping star. It would replace Corkscrew and the mini go-karts (if they're still there). It would stretch a bit into the lake but that'd be cool so. Kanonen also fits in the spot quite nicely. -
Most Anticipated Coasters/Rides of 2017?
AJK replied to boldikus's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mystic Timbers by far. It looks like a top 3 American GCI. Really excited to ride my first good GCI! (Apocalypse @ SFMM was absolutely horrendous and the worst coaster I've ridden) -

I don't understand how people can be that critical of the helix! The laterals are awesome (all the laterals on Shivering Timbers are underrated) and wasn't it retracked rather recently? -
Michigan's Adventure (MiA) Discussion Thread
AJK replied to MagnumForce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We've already established that rides such as Thunder Dolphin or Freestyle or even that one scream powered roller coaster have a trick-track like element. Point is Mega Zeph has the last wooden trick track standing now that Shivering Timbers' has been replaced with that hill. -

Michigan's Adventure (MiA) Discussion Thread
AJK replied to MagnumForce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Stopped by the park today to get a good shot of this new hill on Shivering Timbers. Still a bit sad that my trick track is gone. Pretty sure this means that Mega Zeph is the only wooden coaster on the planet with a trick track still standing. There isn't a perfect pic of the entire hill due to the fact that I am fifteen and my impatient parents wanted to get the hell out of there. Cool to see the old wood clash with the new wood. Wonder how much airtime this little hill will generate? Also wonder which company added this hill. Probably M&V, but maybe it was GCI? -
