Taylor's Coaster (and Food) Adventures
JG-77 replied to Taylor Finn's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm proud to say this is standard in Chicago and there are actually signs to promote the practice. This is also normal on the DC metro. Apparently people get pissed if you stand on the wrong side, but I haven't experienced that myself since I don't live close enough to the DC subway system. -
The Official TPR Video Thread!
JG-77 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Another very nice video, and I'm loving that thumbnail! -
^Oh lol, I was literally just about the repost those questions here Thanks for the answers. Do you think for the future there could be a way to see how many riders each coaster had? Particularly those with the *? Also to repost a bug first brought up by Garet: Several pages on the 2017 combined and steel lists return error 500 messages. Is this a known error?

Personally, I honestly don't care where it is as long as it's in the park. -
TPR 2017 Coaster Poll Results!
JG-77 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Quick question: Is there a way to search a coaster's position in the final results from last year? For example, if I wanted to find Joker's Jinx's position (random example, I don't actually care about JJ's position) on the list, how would I do that without having to manually go through each page and seeing if its name is there? Also unrelated: How many riders were needed for a coaster to be given an unofficial predicted ranking? -

Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
JG-77 replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not sure about permanent parks, but I know there's at least one (and probably more) traveling. I rode on at the MD state fair just this past summer. -
Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread
JG-77 replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I think he means in addition to the already quality collection of woodies you guys have. I agree that none of your woodies need RMC. -

This park has a pretty nice collection of woodies, how about we talk about that? -
I don't think anyone does, don't worry

Nagashima Spa Land Discussion Thread
JG-77 replied to gerstlaueringvar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think it's mostly people b*tching that it doesn't look as good as SV, or that its layout isn't good as their predictions were, but that rings true for pretty much any new coaster. -

Yay! Downdraft isn't dead -
Quick question - if we mark down that we have ridden certain coasters, but we don't rank them, is that any different than not marking them down at all? Edit: Also, is there a way to completely clear last year's rankings? I want to redo pretty much my whole list Edit2: If we're counting Runaway Mountain at SFOT and Cliffhanger at Glenwood caverns, we should count Wild West Express at Adventure Park USA, since its a clone of the other two. Side note: anyone else find it wierd that Premier, S&MC, and Zamperla have all built clones of the exact same coaster?

I think Williams Grove's Cyclone might fit the bill, if you can figure out how to recreate it. It's a small, thrilling but family friendly classic PTC woodie with a short train that looks like it would have provided a fun ride had it been maintained well. Not sure what sort of space you have or how expensive this would be to make, but this seems to be somewhat along the lines of what you're looking for. EDIT: Apparently as a cost saving trick, most of the return leg was built directly underneath the outward leg, which eliminated the need to build a whole new section of support, keeping the building price low. Quite interesting, and also another point toward this coming to Little Amerricka

Theme parks and coasters in the snow
JG-77 replied to thrillrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ And they said it couldn't be done... That's awesome, I'd love to ride a coaster actually covered in snow.
