Alton Towers Discussion Thread
GrapesLie replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You know it's funny I thought the same thing when I watched the video! I was like hmmm two coasters disguised as one. either way I'm game to ride! So Rob what's the chance of a TPR trip stopping at Alton Towers next year? If so count me in! Also does this mean we can count The Smiler as two credits? lol! -

Unfortunately it looks like rain for Holiwood Nights. Hopefully it's not too bad. Does anyone know what their policies are with rain and ride operations at the park? -

What Ride Have You Ridden the Most?
GrapesLie replied to Randomman295's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
ThuNderaTion at Silver Dollar City well over a 1000 rides on it. It was my first coaster and I still love it today! -
So I started saving a few months ago for a TPR Japan trip got a little over a thousand saved thus far and I was wondering if you had a guess on the cost including flight just so I can ballpark my monthly saving. Also I know you're going this year but what's the likelihood of one in 2014? Although depending where you go in 2014 I may just do two tours Thanks

Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread
GrapesLie replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Actually it sort of fits what SDC has been doing lately. Their rides are getting more and more intense. People get this idea of SDC being a family park with low thrills but trust me recently their rides have been getting more intense. I wouldn't say Powder Keg is a family ride and Outlaw Run is anything but. SDC is starting to push the thrills in their park so their next coaster will most likely be bigger and more thrilling than the last! Although it's gonna be damned hard to beat Outlaw Run that ride is sick! -
Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread
GrapesLie replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Okay, so I have no way of knowing if this is true but a few whispers I keep hearing are that SDC is going back back to B&M to give us B&M's first fourth dimension coaster. Again I don't have any way of proving this it's just a couple whispers I've heard. We shall know soon enough I suppose. -

OMG! I finally got a chance to ride Outlaw Run today and yeah Rob was not lying that ride kiss all sorts off ass! Seriously go ride it! Also I was talking to a few higher ups ((cough)) Pete Herschend during the ACE event and was told to keep our eyes open for 2015 and that well be pretty happy! Although I don't know if I could be happier than I am with Outlaw Run! -
B&M vs Intamin
GrapesLie replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah I like both! I can't choose because both are great companies! I will say B&M is better for a park looking for a less intense family ride and Intamin is more all out thrills. It comes down to what the park wants/needs. It's about money ya know. -

Better Theming or More Track
GrapesLie replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think it heavily depends on the park. Lets look at my home park Silver Dollar City. They do a great job having a thrilling ride along with excellent themeing! However then we have a classic Americana Style Park like Lake Winnie. If they suddenly built a heavily themed ride it just wouldn't fit! However shame on Any park for building parking lot rides. Scream at SFMM im looking at you. Honestly at least pull up the lot and plant grass! However I guess we can't really complain because a roller coater is better than no roller coaster. Unless it's Son Of Beast. LoL -
So as Coaster Enthusiasts I would say a large portion of us keep track of New rides added to parks year to year. Occasionally however a major attraction at a park slips through the cracks for me. It's not that I didn't know they built it but that I simply forgot that they did. Most recently I had this happen with two parks I haven't been to in awhile. First was Diamondback at King's Island. First of all this is a HUGE attraction but somehow I completely forgot that ride was even in the park! It was a OMG did I seriously forget about this moment!? Second was Sky Rocket at Kennywood. I think this is mainly because I feel its SO over shadowed by other rides at the park that I just forget it's there Does this happen to anyone else or should I just get my head checked?
