Pointless new attractions
CP_RULES replied to DBru's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Are you kidding me?! The park only had like 4 flat rides when it was added and it was easily the best until they added S:TOP in 2006! It was definitely a great addition, and it fits the theming of the area great! I agree with the Wicked Twister argument. The extra twist adds nothing, and the back seat (though widely hyped) wasn't any fun. I don't see the point of impulses at all. Also, Goliath at SFFT and THBS at SFOT seem like pretty pointless additions. -
BAD Hotels/Motels near parks
CP_RULES replied to piers's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Took the words right out of my mouth. Considering the quality of the non-CP motels and the fact that they don't get the perks is enough to make anyone want to pay the bit of extra money to stay at Breakers Express or one of the other CP hotels. -

There isn't a noise problem at WOF and Patriot got the silent treatment... -
Cool and Fresh - Yes this is a coaster!
CP_RULES replied to Axman's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I recall seeing cables used on Mean Streak, so it's not just the classics. -

Wow! I love how it completely dwarfs IJ, this ride is looking amazing already and the lift isn't even done! -
You stole mine, nothing beats that!

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes, because Screamscape is so reliable. Thank you Mr. Sarcastic, but how about you read the quote I was responding to before you post such ignorant bull crap. "And where did you get this information?" -

Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The Moon Cars have been removed and will most likely be relocated elsewhere in the park. -

CP_RULES replied to mateony's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those first two pictures of Medusa are AMAZING. Its pretty dang sweet how you got the train in focus but not the track. -

Wrong. It is simply SIMILAR to Thunderbird, NOT a clone. -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I know for a fact that they started Patriot with the station, and I believe they did with Tatsu as well. Maybe it's a B&M thing. -
Hyyyper is correct that they are used for workers to cross over from one side to the other when the banking changes. However, they also serve the purpose of a being a sort of net to catch anything that my fall (or drip). Notice how they appear when the track is crossing over something below?

Cedar Point Coaster Trimming
CP_RULES replied to CdnbMatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think I remember hearing that the trim on Mantis was to help with three train operation (which of course it no longer utilizes). I didn't really notice it when I was there in June, the ride was plenty forceful even with it. Timber Wolf at Worlds of Fun has two trims on its first drop. It's fairly normal to see them on wooden coasters, like others have said, it's to keep their upkeep costs down. -
The Texas Two Step
CP_RULES replied to coasterdave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It looks like Mr. Freeze track to me. In fact, it looks like the exact same piece that I noticed laying around at SFStL when I was there this summer. Cool pictures dude, BB looks great at night and I've always liked SFoT from the pictures Ive seen. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I beg to differ, this was the only letdown of the ride IMO. You fly out of the tunnel just to slam into brakes, its quite depressing. -
HALLOWEEN HAUNT at Worlds of Fun

^Oh haha, well I guess I should have uploaded my pic sooner then... -
HALLOWEEN HAUNT at Worlds of Fun
CP_RULES replied to Swoosh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That construction by Mamba is indeed for a new haunt and NOT a new ride. I was there on Sunday and snapped a picture of what looks to be a tent structure going up. It's not very big so I wonder if what's there is just part of it and there's more to come. -
