Alton Towers Discussion Thread
DATman replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What does X being closed have to do with Tatsu being more known world-wide than Air? -
I love this show. Although, I guess I'm a little biased, as I got the chance to go on that heroin guy's appartment set with part of my film class. That place blew me away!

The Looping-Slide strikes back!
DATman replied to DragonKhan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^If you look at their site, you'll see that they actually spent a lot of time developing a way to make the ridges invisible to the rider. Unlike other slides where they hurt like hell. -
The Six Flags: A Roller Coaster Superhero Comic
DATman replied to Roy56's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^^Well, she came up with the idea a year ago, so it seems like Flipdude just inspired her to actually bring her idea to fruition. -

^^^Still, it would've been changed if he thought it was okay. Bottom line, if the rules say don't stream, then don't stream. Why even think about the rule? If the rule's there, obey it, as these people are nice enough to offer us this site for free. -
^Wow. That wasn't stuck up in any way. He just want's to know if it's true or not. A book may or may not be a relieable source (I hope that is is, but you never know). There are other steel coasters before the matterhorn though. In the book, Roller Coasters, by Scott Rutherford, there is a photo of a steel coaster using tubular track. So that quashes all though of the matterhorn. But, it is still one of the earliest steel coasters that still exists today.

Claustrophobia Rides
DATman replied to Thrillrider15's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Roll-O-Planes suck a lot more. Especailly when you squeeze 3 people into them. My hip is still bruised (rode it on Sat.). The ride is fun, but the poor design of the door (big metal thing jamming into your side) really kills it if there are 3 people. -
JS Texas Ajua!
DATman replied to JuanSe_Colombia's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
That is the most pointless poll.... If you had asked whether people like the park or not, I think it'd have been better. -
The only sad thing is that he is being reused from Florida. But it makes perfect sense, so it should be good. I think next year's should be great. I bet they bring him back again, but will do something like Die-In, to really tie the event in its Horror roots. I would expect some mazes, even though technically the Bates Motel and WoW will be mazes, I think they will really try to do what Florida is doing. But it'd be great if it were all on the backlot, and the tram just drops you off and the event were there. Too bad that'd be a wee bit too much for all the companies there. I think it'd be great for them to put scareators on Jurassic Park, like someone who's had his arm ripped off by the T-Rex, or things like that. And have them coming to the car, making the waterfall effect even more abrupt, as the riders would be paying attention to the scareators. Little things like that would be what would make this event amazing.

^^You can pick the kind of track you want... The just aren't different coasters because a lot of Intamins use more than 1 kind of track. And I don't think that OTSRs would chande anything about the ride, so why want them?

Photo TR: Robb, Bethany, And Dallas do SFMM!
DATman replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Well, at least the park is running decently (at least, everything that is open and isn't Tatsu). But, I'm not going to complain about how much they suck at operating Tatsu, as that means no lines for anything else! -
Shapiro needs to focus on this park, the lazy ass. He's only "fixing" the parks that require little-to-no effort. If he focused on SFMM for a year, that park could be miles better, and draw in more money than he expects. Honestly, if they went and rehabbed Bugs Bunny Land, and replaced some of the carnival rides (like the merry-go-round, as it is pathetic to see a clone of it at my church fair) with actual rides for families, that would improve the family atmosphere. Add a few flats here and there and the park would be awesome (after being cleaned...). It's so sad, as only months ago we were seeing improvements at the park. Now it's going down the tube again. And that's annoying because it hasmuch better coasters than CP.

My church decided to remove all of the fun rides from their festival this year, and it sucks now...

^I should hope so, as they're really depending on him for this event. I think it should be interesting. The best bit will be the tram, as you will be dropped off at specific locations in the backlot (I'm pretty sure this info is accurate), where there are scareators everywhere, some dressed as guests. There should be some great entertainment, including Chucky's Insultorium. I think it will be a great event for the area, and it should go off quite well. I think that next year's will blow this one out of the water, though.

Lift Hill With A View
DATman replied to Coasterlicious's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I just love how on X's lift you see yourself going above Viper, which really freaks some people out. I love the view from Whirlwind at Seabreeze. You get a great view of the park, waterpark, and Lake Ontario. It's especially awesome at sunset! -
Except that emo people are fake. Seriously though, I have never been able to comprehend how anyone can kill, no matter the circumstances. I mean, would you kill your freinds? No. So why would you kill anyone else? It's not like they don't matter. I mean, they have a story behind themselves too, though you may not know it. They are connected to others in the same ways you are connected to your loved ones, so how can you destroy them? I feel the same way about war...

Never been on TV, making this post utterly meaningless... Heck, I barely sneak into my High Schools slideshows, and I was lucky I knew someone on the yearbook crew...

California Bans Holding Cell Phones When Driving
DATman replied to smells_like_team_disney's topic in Random, Random, Random
And how many teenage girls who just got turned 16 and got a car are going to pay attention to this? About 20. Besides, why wait until 2008??? Why not 07? It will not take about a two year campaign to get people to realize thisd ban is there. Half of us will forget about this by the time it comes into effect. It's just too little too late. Charge them 100, and they'll actually take it seriously. Charge them 20, and they just don't get to buy that burger and fries they wanted to eat while talking to their friends... -

I did fairly well for my audition (normal drama). I am so excited for this! We're doing On The Waterfront.
