Worlds of Fun (WOF) Discussion Thread
hyyyper replied to OzCatter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Damn, nice job on this one already guys. Hope you get to build another one in Holland soon! -
On a dutch forum, we were discussing our country's collection of rollercoasters. And while everybody had different opinions, every poiint of view was within the country's borders. So we came to the question what people from other country think about the coasters in Holland and it's themeparks. Are Goliath and Troy the only good things the Netherlands offer, or is there more. Or do you think Goliath and Troy are overrated. Please let us know. thank you, Bas

Quassy Amusement Park Discussion Thread
hyyyper replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Way to go Quassy. Looking at the park I never thought they would get the money for a coaster like this. But knowing TGG, I'm sure they'll get airtime on that thing even if it's only 35 feet. -

^I'm not sure entirely, but I believe it was a women getting stapled at S:ROS by a black female operator. You should ask Kerry or David, I'm sure they know. -

Expedition Everest Yeti Dead?
hyyyper replied to the ghost's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I didn't say take the yeti out of the story, that would be dumb. I'm just say that the aminatronic in paticular didn't add much. -
Expedition Everest Yeti Dead?
hyyyper replied to the ghost's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
an animatronic doesn't cost several millions. I must say, in my opinion, the yeti animatronic didn't add much to the ride. A loud scream and perhaps some red eyes in the darkness would get the same reaction from me. -

Great report Sam, At first I didn't feel Knoebels that much, but oh boy did Phoenix melt me! Now if only Boulder Dash would have buzzbars, that would be heaven. -

hyyyper goes to the USA East Coast Day 11 - August 16 Knoebles While the trip seemed to last forever, with it's late nights, early mornings, tons of ERT and even more cool coasters, the final day had silently arrived. But enough with the poetics, on to Knoebels. The looks like it just took a random forest and put some attractions and coasters into it. And it makes the park feel very cosy, yet a bit ghetto. The heat that day was quite warm and the forest gave us some nice pieces of shade. We started the day with ERT of Twister, a coaster that featured two lift hills placed under each other. The ride was great, yet the ride didn't pull of that much to impress me. When the ERT was finished, we got a lot of tickets to use of the rides. We did some rides, which included the best 'ghetto-darkride' ever, a derelict steel kiddie and a random bunch of spinning/puke rides. Now, as we all expected a year ago, that the flying turns bobsled would open, Knoebels did something very cool to ease the pain. We got to trackwalk flying turns! As it slowly became afternoon, we had the opportunity to pay the factory of Great Coasters International a visit. Sadly, we were told that 'whatever happens inside the factory, stays in the factory'. Not anything dirty happened, but it's just standard company secrecy. So the only pictures proving we were there, was at the sign . After the cool tour of the GCI factory, we headed back to Knoebels to do some more rides, this time we hit things like 'the blair witch railroad', an indoor MusikExpress and a suspended Frisbee. And as the temperature got to a more livable level when the sun went down, the park cleared and we prepped ourselfs for ERT on Phoenix. Now there are two thing you need to know about Phoenix: 1. Phoenix has airtime. This means that the curvature of the hills and the speed of the trains, forces your body out of the train 2. Phoenix has buzzbars. This means that there is almost a feet between your lap and the bars. Combining these two is of the best combinations in coaster history. On every hill my knees smalled into the bar, one time I smacked my stomach into the bar and once I landed on the seat divider. And for an hour (or more, I can't remember) almost non-stop. There are few ways to end a trip with such a bang, and most of those ways were either covered already on the trip, or were in the Egypt section of a themepark in Tampa. As we got back on the bus, Joe and Chris from GCI come to say of farewell and we promptly ordered by Robb to bring us water bottle, in exchange for our unused tickets. When we departed where was lot of sadness on the faces of everyone, and I was on the Party Bus! As this is the last part of the Trip Report, I want to thank everyone involved to making this trip the coolest thing ever. Now I can start counting down for the West Coast Trip of 2009 Home...first order of business, start the countdown for West Coast 2009 Back on the plane, heading back home Pleasant, yet weird suprise: coastersdesigners handing out water bottles. A model was also on display And the other train Phoenix train shot Celebrity shot Phoenix at night. As you can see, the benches were very spacious. no caption necessary Later that day, Flying Turns was testing. The one and only GCI-sign Point of no return, but than backwards Look how exiceted everybody is! A view into the structure Skidmarks POV shot. We were told why the coaster hadn't opened yet. Onto Flying Turns The famous lunch sign. Best ghetto darkride, the haunted house. Flyby Pretty high, that's for sure First coaster of the day: Twister -
