Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

It just goes to show you that Robb isnt kidding when he says that people need to be aware of how and what they post on here as industry people are paying attention to what we write. -
Coolest Ride Vehicles
rider-x replied to Cerberus's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I like swartzkopfs. http://www.rcdb.com/37.htm?p=15387 -
I remember when Millennium Force was being built, the almost cartoonish drawing that went with it. I loved it and couldn't wait to see it. I would rather not know what the ride experience was like before its built. Maybe some teasers to tempt me. But on the other hand the way that new coaster construction coverage by all the fansites is now, you basically know what the experience is like even without the video.

the parody site is great but the truck with the first drop in it is the funniest thing ive seen EVAR on the site. -
i like the drop in the que line of Disney Tower of terror. About 20 feet off of the rail but the bottom of the drop hurts a bit.

i agree with elissa. the wind seeker looks like an aviator. -
I think they should of gotten rid of mindbender. its old and green....nah im kidding. Love me some bender, but the park saying that dare devil is the first beyond vertical drop isn't a suprise, i mean according to them Mindbender has 3 vertical loops I wonder how long it was before they got inundated with calls saying there were other beyond vertical drops. Kudos to them for editing their release

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
rider-x replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ive been reading on a lot of sites how disappointed people are in Ocean Motion going away. I hardly ever see ANYONE riding it when im there. Maybe its the location but I dont understand the disappointment. I mean if it was a tilt a whirl they were removing, then someone at CP should be run out of town -
New 2011: Rainbow Magicland Themepark (near Rome - Italy)
rider-x replied to Ledgy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
It looks like its a little angled like a Riddlers or mantis type of thing. Could be the angle of the shot. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

I think these rides are going to be a big hit for all of the parks. Man I would really like to hang out for a while on top of the tower where the hand rail is -

at what point did we become disappointed by anything with the words "300 Feet". How many other park chains get 4 300 ft. rides in 1 year. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
rider-x replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was at the park one time with my girlfriend and some guys were smoking near us and saw a CP cop coming so they threw the Joint down near us. We didnt really notice that until after the fact when the guard started accusing us of being the ones with the spliff. I sorta freaked out on the guy (probably more than I should of). At that point the guys who originally were smoking come running around the corner( we were by paddlewheel) chased by 3 or 4 cops. The guard that was questioning us took off after them. We were saved. (so i picked up what was left of the joint and finished it....not really) Thats why every one knows JUST BRING BROWNIES lol -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
rider-x replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
truly horrible. Will Koch is holiday world. I can only imagine what kind of mourning and grief the family and park is going through. My mother has diabetes and I couldn't bear the thought of her passing in that way. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved. I will be sending his charity some money as we all should. -
