^ Not to scare you, but I found getting my wisdom teeth out was a lot more difficult than a root canal. I should say that I did have complications with my procedure which was a little bit out of the norm. I really did look like Brando from the Godfather for a few days. Be super careful to try not to get dry sockets. The cleaning of those really hurt. Though I am not sure how you prevent getting dry sockets.

Yay! Its a new Soren Trip Report. Please keep up with your updates, I am enjoying this.

For something that is not related to the Giga Coaster discussion, I went through some of my older video footage and put together a ten minute video with footage from 2006. Lots and lots of Hypersonic footage is included as well as everyone's favorite former park "ranger".

I drive by Silver Springs several times a week, but I have not set foot in the park in over 20 years. Maybe I should go visit and do an update at some point.

Hey there TPR! I wanted to start up a new thread to share with you guys a new series of videos I specifically created for TPR/Coastertube for your viewing pleasure. Over these past few years I have shot hours upon hours of video while visiting parks across the US. You may have seen some of my footage in a much shortened format such as a music video. Well, I wanted to make things much simpler, plus I have a ton of unseen footage, and present a new series of videos that showcase these parks in a much more leisurely pace. The first video I present in this series was shot in 2006 at Paramount's Kings Dominion. As many of you know, 2006 was the finally year that Kings Dominion operated under the Paramount banner. In this ten minute video you will find a TON of Hypersonic XLC footage, as well as Italian Job, Volcano, and quite a few other attractions found in the park. After you watch it, please leave me feedback. I now present to you: Paramount's Kings Dominion 2006 [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=KDominionTPR2006outtakes_fx95[/coastertube]

That Whip was seriously super insane. Same with the Derby Racer.

I always found that Chucky works better as Comedy/Horror. That last couple ones that were made certainly were better than Part 2 or 3 due to the humor. EDIT: I knew that there would be a Wolfman one this year due to the new movie coming out this Christmas.

Only one more month to go. Nice trip report as always.

Oh wow, this came out of left field. Yes, I am very excited about this!

Yes, it can be shared, since nobody's name is actually on it. Its not against park rules at all.

Intamin Giga, as in something like MF? Or is it something else?

I believe that SFoG has more rides on its Qbot system than any other Six Flags park. They do include every single coaster as well as many of the more popular flat/water rides. Since it is in the middle of summer you may decide that you want to get one, especially if you are going over the weekend. The Gold Qbot is quite expensive, but worth it if you are really into riding things more than once. Though you can earn all the credits and most of the regular rides with the regular Qbot, even on a busy day (I would do Superman and Monster Mansion ASAP) but you will probably not get many re-rides. http://www.sixflags.com/overGeorgia/tickets/flashpass.aspx EDIT: I forgot you mentioned that you will probably just be riding the big coasters in groups of one at a time , so the Gold Qbot will be the best bet. Especially since you will be going at "Little Kid" speed.

^ My rides last month on Cyclone were among the best I ever have had on it. At least it was while in my favorite row on the coaster. It might be that its a bit tempermental.

So far no new parks for me this year, but I have visited this year: Disney's Magic Kingdom Epcot Disney Hollywood Studios Universal Orlando Islands of Adventure Sea World Orlando Busch Gardens Africa Wild Adventures Six Flags Over Georgia Kings Island Holiday World Disneyland Disney's California Adventure Six Flags Magic Mountain I am going on the TPR Texas trip and plan to his a few extra parks in July.

Great Photo:TR, and congrats on your 400th credit. For Cyclone, I have always found if you sit in the very back car in the front bench you can get some truly amazing rides. Anywhere else usually equals death. The same goes for Ninja. While it is still not a great ride, you just do not get banged up quite as much in that seat. Great Scream Machine I usually have somewhat descent rides sitting in the middle of the train in a middle row of a car (non-wheel seat). It still isn't really anything too special though. Dahlonega is named after a small gold mining village in north Georiga.

The Zombieland movie trailer came out today in which Wild Adventure stands in for the amusement park. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExoIyEl5Vj8

Have you ridden Son of Beast lately? I rode it last month, it was as bad as always. Seriously, that thing can really hurt people. I consider it to be the worst coaster I have ever ridden. Erik "Never going to ride SOB again" Johnson.

I always thought that hill after the tunnel was a bit too tall. I wonder if that has happened before. Nice find!

It has been a while since I have posted in here. I might as well. Holiday World last month.

Probably the original Space Mountain at The Magic Kingdom.

How are the other PARC parks? Are they just as ignored? We did have a good day at Darien Lake last year. Everything was running and the park was clean.

At least whenever B&M does build a new coaster in Florida they still seem to make sure that they are quite forceful. I agree as well, I am happy that Universal decided to go with someone else this time.

Check it now. Any other questions concerning this, just send me a PM.

We got tired of people complaining about the rekcol (Spell it backwards) policy at Six Flags, so whenever anyone types the word rekcol it comes up as that. I am going to go ahead and lock this thread since the question has been answered.

The park actually looks pretty nice. At least it is clean.
