Another credit question
pgathriller replied to Jim's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I wouldn't count it as a new credit. And also, didn't they repaint the Greezed Lightnin" from PGA. Is it the same color as the one at Kentucky Kingdom? If not and they replace the loop they will either have to repaint the loop to go with the coaster or repaint the coaster to match the loop. It would be odd the have a part of a coaster not mix with the rest of it. -
I think that was an awesome design. I wish I could do stuff like that.

Photo TR: Funfair in da 'hood!!!
pgathriller replied to Shockwave's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Nice trip report. I remember one time this ghetto parking lot carnival type thingy came. It had an old beat up Wisdom Avalanch ride as it's only thrill ride. I rode as many times as I wanted free because I told them about usedrides.com and brought them some things off there site. Anyway, they had that game where you have to pop a balloon with the darts and they talked my mom into playing. After every round she wanted to quit and the carnie kept talking her into playing again and she did. $55 later she quit and won a minature colored mushroom. While all this was happening I was laughing my ass off and after my mom got all pissed at me not getting her out of the game. It was so funny!!! -
All About Powered Coasters

I have never really cared for powered coasters. Probaly because I haven't been on any good ones. * I always imagined what a powered hyper coaster might be like!!! -

If Theme Park Review made a theme park what would be in it. Use your imagination on this one. Can't wait to see what crazy ideas you come up with.

I saw one of these at a carnival and I saw iton Sellner's website. I love Tilt-A-Whirls and I was wondering if it rides the same way as the regular Tilt-A-Whirl. It looks pretty cool. The only difference I saw is the new car design. http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/tiltawhirlg5.html http://www.whirlin.com/g5-1.jpg *350th post!!! Damn, it took me this long to get 350???

Do you like the simple rectangle layout of bumper car buildings or do you like the track version of bumper car buildings. I like the rectangle more because you can actually bump people. On the track versions you go one way and it really isn't all that fun. Tell us what you like and the best bumper cars you have ever been on.

Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops
pgathriller replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I am also sad that Greazed Lightnin' is in pieces at SFMW. That was my first coaster I ever went on with a loop. I don't know how coaster buisness works to well but couldn't a coaster company like B&M or Intamin make duplicates of Schwartzkopfs shuttle loops? The only reason the Schwartzkopfs shuttle loops are disapearing is because it is so hard to find parts for them now so if B&M or Intamin made some shuttle loops there would be parts for them. It could be the new generation of Shuttle Loops. Also, I know Arrow made some shuttle loops but I don't like them as mush as Schwartzkopfs but how many Arrows are left? * Lets keep our fingers crossed that the shuttle loop from Astroworld finds a new home! -
How many operating Schwarzkopf shuttle loop coasters our left in the U.S? I know they are getting hard to find so I want to know how many are left. When the last Schwarzkopf shuttle loop coaster goes down it will be a sad day in coaster history.

Six Flags New Orleans 2006 !
pgathriller replied to calcajun's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If not to many people live in New Orleans can't Six Flags down size the theme park for now? They can move a couple of their coasters and rides to other Six Flags parks so Six Flags New Orleans can lower their prices. Once people start moving back they can start adding new rides little by little until there back where they once were. I don't think many people can pay $50 to go to Six Flags when there is a lot more important things they need to buy. I know it will take a long time to get New Orleans back to where it was with population but this was just my idea. -
^ Did you see or hear it happen? Was everyone freakin out because there world record coaster is broken?
-
^ Thanks. I finaly get an answer!
-
^ The stuff posted would say a version of what happened and then someone would shoot it down and put in their version. Does anyone here know what really happened. *Robb- if you are reading this maybe you can answer my question because you know everything!!!
-
^ I know it was fake. I posted it because I thought it was funny. It shows how stories can be twisted around and then every body gets a different story than the real one. I just want to know what happened to Kingda Ka.
-
I know this is really old but what really happened to Kingda Ka? Why did it close for so long? I have been looking around and on Ultimate Roller Coaster I found this- I would like to inform everyone of the truth behind kingda ka's closure earlier this season- which almost resulted in making the list for NJ's biggest busts of 2005 in NJ Magazine. A tester who visited the park weekly to test the coaster sent the ride up with 20 dummies which then fell out one by one and reached as far as the Viper construction area. (VCA) Before re-opening the coaster- extensive tests were done with dummies and no dummies fell out. However, there have been several protests outside of Great Adventure with regard to closing this coaster due to rumors of it not being safe. A staff member of six flags remarked, "Kingda Ka may be closed by the end of the season. And if it is closed again, it will be for good." What a 25 million dollar waste that would be. Here's the link- http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/forums/cgi/forum1.cgi?read=162509 Can anyone tell me what really happened. I know know what it says really isn't true but I thouht it was funny so I posted it here. I don't think they would close down a 25million dollar ride for good when it was barely open for half a season. I just want to get my facts straight. Please help!
