What is the weirdest breakdown you have been on, seen, or heard of before. Mine was when a round up ride stop spinning while it tilted. I think this will be a interesting topic.

Does Dollywood still have the big bear character? Last summer it grabbed my mom and gave her a huge noogie! It was hilarious! She said it smelled. Is the Thunderhead riding rough yet? That's what I heard from some people. What rides did they remove from Dollywood in the off season? Does Dollywood have 1 or 2 trains? Is Tennessee Tornadoe still riding 2 trains? Just a couple of questions I had.

I barely found out about it on Sunday and I thought it was the first Zonkey born. I didn't know they are being bred everywhere. I hate when people breed different animals like a Lion and a Tiger to make a Liger, now it's a Zonkey. Theme Parks, Roller Coasters & Zonkeys sounds cool!

This forum is for roller coasters, theme parks and donkeys. Now I am going to post about a donkey. I volunteer at the El Paso Zoo on the weekends and I had found out that there is a animal that is a cross breed between a zebra and a donkey. They call it a Zonkey. The animal looks so cool! Sorry I don't have a picture of a Zonkey but if anybody can please post it. I found pictures of it on Google Images.

Disney makes so much money every year and I don't think it would kill them to add a space for old rides. That might even bring them some more guests to the park every year because people would want to see the old rides that they used to ride.

That is a very cool que! Way better than the other one. I like all the blue lights it has.

Looks like a decent ride but nothing special. I also agree that it looks more promising than slammer.

Nice trip report with photos! Sounds like you had a good time with your family. A little break from the thrills and have some family time.

Hades looks impressive! :shock: Looks like an overall good coaster. Do other wooden coasters do the 90 degree turn?

I heard that PGA got rid of Triple. That was one of my favorite rides there and I am sad that I can't ride it there anymore. Does anybody know why they removed it? Or does anybody know what they put in it's place? In it in storage or are they going to scrap it. I hope they move it to another park. When I rode it last summer, it looked like new!

Come up with some awesome names and designs for roller coasters. Maybe a company will take your unpattened idea and make millions from it! My idea would be a flying coaster like the Borg and call it F-14 Fighter. Theme it with F-14 Fighters and instead of a chain lift have a launch just like when a Jet takes off! 0-120 in 4 seconds and it would be the first launched flying coaster! Have 20 inversions like when the jets do spins and flips and whatever else they do! Vekoma can do the design and Intamin for the launch! Vekoma can finally become popular with this ride!

Deja Vu was open on opening day! :shock: :shock: :shock: I ner thought I would live to see the day of it!

I am going to Western Playland. Mothers get in free and there will be things to do there. I will probaly leave my mom with my sisters and I wander off riding the rides.

I don't think thay will ever get rid of Steel Dragon 2000 even if it was for a new hi tech coaster. They will probaly keep it so people from there could worship the year of the dragon!

I can't believe it! :shock: This happened two years ago and there barely sueing!? It wasn't Holiday Worlds fault. The stupid lady unfastened her seatbelt and stood up and now two years later there sueing the park. I hate people like this! So many people sue now a days that it's to the point now thet we need to hand out permission slips before every ride that says the park or company will not be held responsible for what ever happens to you on the ride. Holiday World is going to fight this and the family is not going to get a penny out of the park!

^ I agree! Why doesn't everybody post there favorite Intamin and B&M with pictures. My favorite Intamin is the Top Thrill Dragster of course. If you want a picture look at my avatar.

That coaster looks cool! I also think it will be one of the best woodies out there!

^ They said they would be determined to prevent a recurence but how can they if they didn't open the damn ride again? Do you think if PGA tore down the Grizzly and some of the surrounding area they would have room for SD2000? Just a thought. Morgan did it on purpose! Just Kidding!

All I have heard is something about a boom and something about hitting a head. What the hell are you guys talking about? Why is Steel Dragon closed? We can sell all the Boomerangs in the world and put the Steel Dragon

This is the only good Vekoma I have ever enjoyed! My favorite roller coaster at PGA! The best Vekoma ever made!

I was looking through www.rcdb.com and I came across Steel Dragon 2000. This thing is really huge! It is 8133 feet long which makes it the longest coaster in the world. It was made by Morgan and it is a steel sit down coaster. It goes 95mph! It is located at Nagashima Spa Land. It is currently standind bot not operating. Does anybody know why? This thing is huge!

^ I agree that the Italian Job is a stupid name. Who names these rides?

Tumbleweed is one of the worst coaster names I have ever heard of! Who ever came up with the name is stupid. It would be weird if somebody asked you what your favorite coaster is and you say "Tumbleweed".

So they do use cables! I would be freaked out if I saw smoke coming out of a ride! :shock:

^ Because there stupid! They pay a couple of million dollars for a coaster that has more down time than up time. I say quality over quanity. Vekoma
