Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
PCW FREAK replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, Holiday world has been KILLING it in the last few years. This thing looks completely insane though, it reminds me of something I'd see in a very unrealistic game of RCT2, therefore it scores points with me. Good job Intamin! I'm really interested to see how this turns out. -
Unfortunately, I've been too busy with other crap to go to concerts lately ):but my last was a year ago. Marilyn Manson in Montreal. Coming from Ottawa, polittically correct, and really flippin clean. Montreal really knows how to party.

Most Overrated coaster?
PCW FREAK replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
No doubt Goliath at SFLR. Well, It was hyped up here in Canada anyway. For last year it was the tallest and fastest in Canada I think (correct me if I'm wrong). But anyway, It was my first B&M and, I have to say, It left a flat out awful first impression. It did have some nice light floater airtime on the first drop, and being so close to the water was a cool feeling, but over all It was a pretty tame ride for all the hype. It was dare I say "boring" even. Mind you directly after that I did ride one of B&M's triumphs; The batman Clone, Canadian style. That restored my hope in B&M. But i do see that a definite trend in B&M hypers is that they're all too..... whats the word; graceful. Provided some are great; like Apollo's Chariot. But anyway, Goliath gets my choice for the most over rated. It'll be interesting to see how Behemoth stacks up with those new trains. -
Most Influential Coaster Designers
PCW FREAK replied to TheCoasterCritic's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
1.Anton Schwarzkopf 2.John Wardley 3.Werner Stengel 4.William Cobb 5.Claude Bolliger & Walter Mabbilard Schwarzkopf because he really combined the old ruthless intensity of coasters and combined them with the newer coasters. Wardley because he really emphasizes of fear. He really seems to have his rides rely on emotions. Case and point, Oblivion. If that ride were bare, with no scenery and no effects, it wouldn't really be an intense ride at all. But the way he pushes every button that makes us tick is incredibly effective. Stengel because he simply pushed the envelope of coaster design. Cobb because he (IMO) went back to the roots of coasters. And came up with woodies that embrace the old side of coasters. And B&M because they pioneered revolutionary coasters, that embrace new amazing ideas, but also did them incredibly smoothly. -

PCW FREAK replied to nick mac's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
hey, welcome to the site. I like the paths and the water, but the building in my opinion is a bit blocky. I'd reccomend putting roof pieces that go together without those gaps. And a couple windows would look good too. But thats just my opinion. Other than that, I really like the enterance plaza. Keep it up! --Mike -
The Official "TPR Japan Trip 2007" Thread
PCW FREAK replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, that place is SERIOUSLY messed up. I love the monster burger. I have to go there some time. But I thought "Speed Boarder" as it used to be called already spun. On the older Japan DVD, I think it spins. Maybe I'm wrong though. But I hate the cars on it now, the older ones were kinda cool. Cool park though. And as usual, nice report. -
NL: Heartbreaker
PCW FREAK replied to durkadurka's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
^ I didnt think it was THAT bad. I really, really like the layout, I just wish it were longer, it looks pretty smooth. Im assuming you're using Articulated GCI trains, but if not which ones are you using? -

Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
PCW FREAK replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^I agree. I really like the name, its very original and has meaning. The other names are very straight foreward. "The bat, Wild Beast, Vortex, Thunder Run." And the trains look pretty cool. I love the first drop. I have to give props to Cedar Fair for giving this ride to a park that (IMO) prior to this year, sucked. I love the placement. The last part over the water looks nioce. But those trims, ugghh. -
