^ Please do. Especially since we do not have any photos of this park for the Park Index yet. -
Retired Coasters
Erik Johnson replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Has anyone mentioned Python yet? I miss my first Arrow corkscrew. Hey, at least the thing took a great photo. -
What coasters do you want to ride?
Erik Johnson replied to CoasterCrazy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me: 1. Eagle's Fortress (The ultimate Arrow Suspended Coaster for someone who is a self-confessed Arrow Suspended Coaster Fanboy). 2. T-Express/Balder (As much as I like El Toro, I need to go ride these). 3. Expedition G-Force (As much as I like the Superman ones, I need to ride this as well). 4. Deja Vu at Six Flags Magic Mountain (This has been my most elusive credit so far. I had awesome luck riding the former ones that were at SFoG and SFGam. I have been to the Mountain three times now and still have yet to ride this one. While I will be at WCB this year, I know it will be closed yet again, heh. I still claim Deja Vu(s) to be the most frightening coasters I have ridden so far.) 5. Shockwave at SFoT (I will be finally getting to ride this one on the Texas trip. I am waiting to see if this one trumps Mindbender for me). Its been nearly 3 years since this was taken. I am still 2 for 4 on the worldwide Vekoma GIB credits. -
Its Coaster Dog!
Erik Johnson replied to BrownStreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I also vote for DogHawk, or maybe Flight Deck. Seriously, I kind of like Tatsu, Montu, or Kumba. -
I guess that it makes me old that I had that original 1989 buyers guide. It might still be around here somewhere.

Yo Gabba Gabba!

Dude, we had Electric Company. But even that was not as crazy as this. -
Have you seen Shark Attack: Shark in Venice yet?

I am glad the iconic Gatorhead/entrance has been rebuilt after the fire. -

Expedition Everest Yeti Dead?
Erik Johnson replied to the ghost's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think all the effects of Everest worked only during the first few weeks of operation. This includes the super rare mist tunnel effects that were removed due to moisture setting off the ride's safety sensors. I think the Bird on a Stick has stopped working for around a year and a half now. I too will be happy for its return. You can find a full onride video with all the effects working right here: [tprtv]http://themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=expeditioneverest_3 [/tprtv] -
Most memorable coaster moment of 2008?
Erik Johnson replied to TheHulk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It would have to be the Ravine Flyer 2 ERT session in some crazy weather during the TPR trip. -
Andy Shine's Quiz Time
Erik Johnson replied to Simon Baynham's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
12/20. I guess that is a pretty poor score. -
Parks Coasters and Rides in Movies and TV
Erik Johnson replied to spike's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They used Screaming Mummy from Pharoh's Lost Kingdom in that one. http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=142&linkid=1481 -
Photo TR: Roxanne's Summer Coaster Craze!!
Erik Johnson replied to U2Rox's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I had no idea that they have the Rocky statue near the museum. I have been to that museum countless times but never noticed the statue before. Can't wait to see more. -

TPR TV or CoasterTube
Erik Johnson replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I can understand why people would prefer CoasterTube, but I simply prefer TPR TV. -
Photo/Video TR: Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
Erik Johnson replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Heh heh heh, I have to admit that footage was shot during another visit, but it needed to be seen since it came out really well. Space Mountain was running fine and dandy the evening of the event. Both sides in 20 minutes, you can not beat that!
