GP looking at the first drop on Steel Vengeance, "That drop is 90 degrees. Straight down. No way is that safe. I'm not riding a ride that drops straight down like that. Nope!"
(said while in line for Maverick)
Okay, this is actually pretty funny.

Well, this blows. It makes sense, and the writing's been on the wall for some time now, but it blows. This was a huge bucket list ride for me. It was closed when I visited the park in July (shameless plug), and while I was dissapointed, I knew how much of a maintenance nightmare it was and I was pretty confident when I returned to the park it'd be open. Guess not. I'm optimistic for what the future holds, but this is a huge kick to the face for the entire coaster community. Rest in peace, Volcano. We never really formally met, but you meant so much to so many, and for good reason. Godspeed.

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD.
Okay, with that out of the way, I may actually be making the trip out to Japan next year, which means Tokyo Disney Resort may be happening in 2020. TDS has been at the top of my bucket list since I was like nine years old. I'm so excited.

Submitted! No problems, glitches, or roadbumps on my end of the line. Great site, thanks to AJ, Robb and Chase for putting the system together for us nerds!

Visiting SeaWorld Orlando for the first time on Sunday! Hoping everybody will be watching that big Sports Ball game so crowds will be especially light.
Hey, I might be going tomorrow too! TPR Mako takeover?

4/10. I enjoy their first album quite a bit, but their new stuff is literally unlistenable.
Animal Collective?

Great report so far! Glad you had fun at my home park, can't wait to hear about your second day there. Be the Thunder!
Then we hit what is IMO the star attraction of BGT, and that's MOTHER F------ KUMBA!!!!! Holy f------- sh----!!! This thing is so intense it was like it was designed specifically for my tastes in coasters. For as old as it is I was very surprised that it was as smooth as something that is brand spanking new! Every element was flawless and this is easily a top 10 coaster for me.Now that's what I like to hear. Welcome to the cult.
-
Leave it to DisneySea to one-up every other version of an attraction. This looks absolutely fantastic.
-
I'm currently walking around Epcot bumping the Energy Adventure soundtrack. Because I can.
-
The world's tallest hybrid coming with a beyond-vertical drop sounds like a dream come true, but I doubt the park is gonna make a coaster taller than SheiKra anytime soon. If I eat my words at some point, so be it, but that's just my two cents.
EDIT: ...huh.
-
I can get behind this. I don't think the movie is the best thing ever, but I can definitely see the appeal. This is gonna draw crowds like it's nothing.

From what I've heard, no one has a good time at SFA.
Must be true, I wonder how they have remained open since 1982?
Seriously though....Is it the greatest park out there? No. But to say that nobody has fun there is just a stupid comment. You would seriously have to go into the park with a negative attitude to not have some fun.
-
I thought this was funny.
-
I think this was more likely a title grab for Tigris than something related to the Gwazi project.
Yes, and if I'm not mistaken, the trademark was for "Twisted Tiger" which implied one coaster and not two.
Call me out if I'm wrong, but wasn't there another name on the trademark... Uproar, wasn't it? It's not exactly tiger-related, so that could be a working name for the coaster(s?). Ya never know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey guys! I made my feature film debut today in Adam McKay’s Vice! I play the character Doug. Look for me about an hour in and let me know what you think of the movie!
That's huge, congratulations! It must feel pretty insane to be a part of a movie that won a freaking Golden Globe. How lucky are you??
