Best and worst themed B&M
CP_RULES replied to gax's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Best: -Black Mamba -Sheikra -Nemesis -Batman La Fuga -Katun -Hulk -Dueling Dragons -Kraken Worst: -Scream! -Insane Speed -
I think we're talking things a bit more realistic than that. The only trains that would possibly be able to switch with inverts would be flyers, but then you have the problem of high Gs pushing you into the restraints. Putting floorless trains on a stand-up would probably be most realistic. The Gs would be fine as the heartline would be above you, simply making the transitions more "swayful" (for lack of a better word). I have always wondered if it would be possible to do it, it would definitely make Mantis better.

Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Quotes from worldsoffun.com. I guess I was talking more about WOF and OOF, so is there any news for the water park? -
S&S or Intamin
CP_RULES replied to coastercrazy216's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I chose Intamin mainly because of that AWESOME feeling you get on the drop. They are much more intimidating and much more thrilling. However, WOF's S&S space shot (Dominator) in particular is extremely fun. I didnt notice it on CP's, but WOF's space shot’s emergency cable ends before the top of the tower. This means that instead of the extremely light floater air that you get on normal space shots, you get some extremely quick ejector air. While this is fun, it will never beat an Intamin drop. -
Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread

Could this be the first year in the history of WOF that they dont get anything new? I was really hoping for that giant frisbee.... Where did you get your information? -
Walibi Belgium Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to Dark Vampire's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If a park without theming theming isn't right for the coaster, than how would that thing fit into the most themed park ever? How about theming those ugly @$$ triangle supports so that they looks like mountains? And maybe have the ride glide through some tranches and canyons? This thing could go a long way with some theming, but even then, the concept of the ride itself still isnt great. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wouldnt it be stupid to pull through an entire train when you could just pull through one car? You would think they wanted the lightest load possible. -
Best Looking Park From A Distance
CP_RULES replied to RollerC's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I was hoping you would show a shot of WOF from the highway and the side road, that's where the real view is! -

I cant believe I forgot about La Ronde! With the addition of Goliath, it looks pretty cool from far away: http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/9890/140933626e158c28e27o8oz.jpg -
I would just like to take a second to applaud Robb for trying to keep this site as proper as possible. I can’t even imagine how hard it is to manage a site this large and you (and the other administrators/moderators) do a great job of keeping things in line. I try to keep my posts as clean as possible, and it sometimes amazes me that people can be so oblivious to spelling and grammar. C'mon guys, this is a great site, let's keep it that way!

Best Looking Park From A Distance
CP_RULES replied to RollerC's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Cedar Point is quite intimidating because you can see it from so far away and there is so much to see. However, Id have to say WOF is also pretty intimidating. You round a big corner on the highway and you see Mamba towering over everyting. You never really realise how big some of the rides are until you drive past WOF on the highway. -

PTR: Tatsu 12/31/06
CP_RULES replied to speedracer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Honestly, I like all three of those shots better without the manipulation. Either way though, all of your pics are great. -

Definitely some beautiful photos in there, I love all of the angles and the colors. The sun seemed to really be a help. Great PTR! -
The Discovery Channel -- Building Tatsu
CP_RULES replied to kraxleRIDAH's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I watched this show yesterday and I think it was fairly interesting. However, I hated how everything had to be a huge drama. Also, why is there a trim at the bottom of the pretzel loop already? I have never seen a trim put on a ride before it's even built.
