The Real Reason Snoopy Left MoA
CHILLERLC1 replied to BrownStreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I read this in 2005 because of BRAC affecting my area of the country. -
There isn't a SF ride debuting in 2010 worth paying for an onride animation. That guy is good but there's nothing right now.

I think Coasterlover is really looking forward to a "new" SLC. I think given the state of the company, this past year overall, forget any real press coverage, all the additional work for marketing other than the minimal park map and commercials in 2010. A SLC in a park that already has an invert: not worth the whoop of the Bizarro treatment, any flashy releases/campaigns. The new SFMM family coaster and the SFGAM woodie probably only deserve cover art on the new maps and maybe a commercial mention. I don't have a problem with Six Flags' approach this offseason. There's bigger things like the reorganization to get through. Soon enough it will be March and we'll probably then hear about it. I think it's realistic that now at 5 years that some of the rides from the closed properties just start moving like the SFNO and SFAW ride, the SLC. It's more a redistribution than a ride rotation program.

Most Overrated coaster?

I think I was ubber disappointed in VIPER- SFGADV's debut. -
Legoland Florida Discussion Thread
CHILLERLC1 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Can Starliner return to the new Miracle Strip and Cypress Gardens become Legoland Florida? -
This just puts a real cap on the year. Perhaps I can say outside of Disney the industry has seen some really big knots at least in the last 6 months: Six Flags claims Chapter 11, Busch Entertainment sold as result of a Anheuser-InBev merger, and now this to cap it. I know the Busch scenario doesn't really tie in but the point is the changes that are occurring.

I wish I could go so I could see if there were any lingering zombies left. -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread

That first drop and turn remind me of Intimidator 305. -
Demon Drop pieces are sitting in Dorney Park's parking lot. The Cedar Point and the LA Times blog mentioned the ride is not going to Knott's Berry Farm but instead to Dorney Park. We have heard the ride would return with the same name but different colors. I bet a million dollars it's going to be red and yellow. We are still waiting for an official announcement from Dorney Park.

Only Disney does those custom changes to the Vekomas like get a second train so I doubt the SFMM coaster would have more than just one train. I had fun on a rollerskater at SFKK, Gadget's Go Coaster, Woodie Woodpecker, Barnstormer but by the time I rode the Anthill Express at Wild Adventures and Hang Ten I started to get bored with the ride.

Six Flags season pass deal
CHILLERLC1 replied to shepp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
$55 for SFNE is ridiculously good. On Columbus Day I went to SFNE with family I renewed up there because down in Jersey at my homepark SFGADV they were offering $69 Playpass for just the theme park $79 for the park and safari. I think this is as good as it gets with the season pass. Last year's deal was the first week of December. It's that time now. In year's past I've also bought the last day of the year as well. The price was the only promo then. -
Knoebels Discussion Thread
CHILLERLC1 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, at my church today I went to a funeral for a friend who's husband is named Dick. At the reception drinking a Yuengling, my table talked about the Yuengling brewery not too far from Knoebels and I talked to my father about returning to the park soon, going to Centralia, and going on that brewery tour while in that area. -
I think there is to be no crying at all about Knotts. Since what? late 2004 they got Silver Bullet, Sierra Sidewinder, and now Pony Express. I was at the park in I believe 2005. There is to be no crying, CF invested in the park, even rehabbed those western town buildings. Maybe I'd complain about Ghostrider. I have a reason to return to Knotts to get those two new coaster credits to myself. I just hope Dorney is just a storage yard, just like Tidal Wave sat at SFDK for a couple years. I'd pay upcharge to use an excavator with a grapple arm in Dorney's parking lot to rip that scrap up.

Virginia vs. New England
CHILLERLC1 replied to CreditCrazy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The no brainer is Virginia. I rode both Bizarros this year. I rode SFNE's Bizarro on Columbus Day. The effects are awesome, like going through the tunnels, the cutouts, the LEDs were super bright, as was the fire. I sadly have to report I felt some airtime muted by the new larger lapbars. It's not as wild as it used to be but I love S:ROS/Bizarro S:ROS SFNE was never overrated and that's me a huge NITRO fan saying that
