[Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread]

The original was pretty corny, but i think it had a more involved feeling to it.

 

The video makes it seem like there's a lot of driving around and getting PA announcements about the tests that are being done on your car (especially in the first half of the ride), so I share that concern. Using the old hot/cold rooms as an example -- yes, dated as they were (especially in design), that was something you could feel. I'm sure there's probably more interaction than what was just evident in the video, though. I want to feel like I'm in a car being tested, not just be told about it by a pleasant, detached announcer.

 

The visuals are outstanding. The tunnel effect at the launch and the lightning bolt stood out.

[Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread]

The view from I-71 is sure different now!

 

I only made it to Son of Beast after the removal of the loop. Over the course of two visits, I rode it 3 or 4 times, and the spine-jackhammering just about did me in. I guess I'm happy I at least got that experience, though. That way, when people at work asked me "they're taking it down? was it really that bad?" ... I know how to answer.

 

Will be anxiously awaiting its replacement. KI could use something intense.

... followed by Python, Kumba, and Montu, all in the same day. That might have been the day I realized I loved roller coasters.
