Vekoma, Arrow, or SLC? (Your opinion)
benzo41190 replied to RctInfinity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would have to say Vekoma. Arrows restraints are to small and they hurt when Vekomas are a little bit more padded. I am still waiting for a portable Flying Coaster....maybe in 2007 -
I did Wizard Quest and i didnt know it would take so long. I am up to 79 on Hades and 101 on Avalanche (I love living sooooooo close). The one part about Hades I dont like is the fact that the turn is in the dark so you dont notice the 90 degree banking. Also it is very short but in a good way. Hope you go back some time

one time at the Wisconsin State Fair, i was on the Gravatron when two walls were coming apart. You could see a crack of sunlight in between the two walls. When we got off it was closed and they were pounding the walls together. Later that night it was open again :shock: i didnt go on it.

Roller Coaster of the 'Future'
benzo41190 replied to Sharkyjon's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
i know the stand up concept has failed but, I want to see a stand-up with a cobra roll. I really like stand up coasters even though i ride them like a floorless. -
What are your TOP TEN COASTERS
benzo41190 replied to ddaver177's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
1. Avalanche (wisconsin dells) 2. Hades (Mt. Olympus) 3. Viper (SFGAm) 4. Flash Back (SFMM) 5. De Ja Vu's 6. Viper (SFGAm) 7. Cyclops (wisconsin dells) 8. Blue Streak (cedar point) 9. American Eagle (SFGAm) 10. Big Dipper (Black Pool) Im sure there would be more from other places besides SFGAm and wisconsin dells but, I havent been to Cal. for 3 years and I went to Europe 4 years ago. Otherwise I main travel to parks within a 2-3 day drive. I went to Canada when i was 10 but only rode one coaster...cant wait to go there in July. -
Every year starting from the second Monday of August the the Follawing Friday I do this... -Monday,SFGAm. -Tuesday, Holiday World and Indiana Beach -Wednesday, Cedar Point -Thursday, Cedar Point and Geauga Lake -Friday, Michigans Adventure -Saturday, home in Millwaukee I do this trip everyyear and I am sure I can be done in less time but I like to take time out at each park. Im sorry if this doesnt help but if you only have five days you should be able to hit all of these parks. Also I sleep in my car and I have a friend in Indiana and a relative in Sandusky so I stay there some nights.

basicly they had a site with over a million page views and has been up for ten years. So the park knows that many people will be looking at the video. Otherwise they feel that there is no point of giving a random person permission. Also they contact the park ahead of time.

benzo41190 replied to mikejenkins1's topic in Ask Alvey
are you still going to the Wisconsin State fair? There are three credits! A dragon, a go-gator, and a pinfari similar to the "Wild Cat" at CP. -
Hey anyone here watch Jackass The Movie? Since it is made by Paramount imagine if they made a Jackass themed ride! It would start off by sitting in a shopping cart and going down a big hill. Then the lap bars open and you get sent flying into a tank of Whale Sharks (see the movie and you will know what I'm talking about). Also during the ride, you are in a truck that drives all around a parking lot and get flow around. Hey anyone else have any ideas if they were to make this ride.

I got mine My parents were confused about why I would what one. I got mad at them and I shipped the money order without them knowing. Once they find out why my gas money is gone, they will be pissed. Who cares.

benzo41190 replied to mikejenkins1's topic in Ask Alvey
what about Avalanche at Wis Dells? Although it isnt really a new 2005 ride. -
if it is in a bag, wont the humidity ruin the camera when its in the bag. Also is that good for the lense.

Blue Streak at CP. This ride has no line (garenteed rerides) and has awsome lap bars that dont close all of the way. This ride also delives TONS of airtime in the rain. The best seat is 1:3. There old buzz bars were awsome!

my sister and parents thinks you guys are weirdo's and try to make money buy selling DVD's. They were like, "30 DOLLARS FOR A DVD!" . They told me that I cant go to any parks when you guys are becasue they think that you will kidnap me. They also think that I am haiving cyber sex with you guys on this site. I was like "WTF, dah there not like that at all, there are like so many people on this site and there has been no bad things that have happened. You guys just dont get it at all." I showed them the DVD's and they changed there mind about all of you. I love this site

any Six Flags Great America tips?
benzo41190 replied to Dr Freeze's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
when I go on a Sunday, I usually RUN to Viper first. This was I can get like 2-5 or even 10 re-rides on Viper without leaving the sation. When I go during the week I run the Ragin Cajun first. I NEVER ride S: UF until 9:59 PM so I get the last ride of the night. BTW, That ride is only fun at night. I quit my SFGAm job so I havent been there for a couple of weeks, I really havent had the courage to walk back in that park -

Anuall Newburg fair
benzo41190 replied to benzo41190's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well today only one more thing came, the little dragon coaster! It still counts as a credit! There were some rides built up and some kids swimming in a poluted river. Also the people setting up the dragon didnt know were to put the piece of support. I actuall dared to go IN the park and i actually talked to some of the carnies. confused carnies this ride is only supposed to go half of what it does. When you ride it you feel like you are on the Goliath helix for 2 mins. the re-painted tilt a whirl ticket booth collapsed slide some carnie kids fishing. look at the crooked sign. The supports that hold up the sign are supposed to be a perfect line but they are crooked. -
They are everwhere "bathrooms". What bathrooms where you favorite, it can be at a park a store a resturant, anywhere! Mine was the bathroom at a McDonalds, the walls were black and had glitter on them. The sinks were silver circles and were automatic. The best thing was that there was a tampon dispencer and a condom dispencer in the Mens Room!
-
same thing happened to me today,(BTW Robb I got the DVD's). I opened it anyway and they got mad at me so I payed for it myself, then they cooled down a bit. They said that If I want to buy more that I have to give them to money first then I can order it. I told them about the JapanoMania DVD I just ordered with the T-Shirt and they made me pay TODAY! now I have no money for the fair, should have waited till after the fair to tell them Its my 100th post

Well today the yearly Newburg Fair was beign set up again. I got back from our trip early and we saw the Mr. Edds fair company trucks pull in the park and I knew this fair was going to suck. All of the rides were repainted but still are crap and they had the "Hi Roller" again for the past 5 years. Here are some photos of the setup today. I even watched them set up the "Hi Roller" and I even got footage of it! I dont have a good computer so there is no way for me to share it. I did get a picture of it before and after.

Coaster N00b
benzo41190 replied to Angry_Gumball's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I thought that if you put your hands up that you would hit your hands on the headchoppers. But this is kinda true on Colossus at SFMM because it says dont raise hands. I also thought that parks made the coasters.
