Decorate it with multi-colored walls to give the pepole on the ride a really "trippy" view while zooming past them. -
^No, because a train can't pass a block segment untill the one in front of it is clear. Like in Nolimits.

Maybe, but... He can be laughed at in every comic... Not necessarily lil robby rob. I already have a pop culture refference in the series in the form of Kim Possible. -

^It is indeed awesome. 1000 People from all over the city(and other cities as well) gather in town square with pillows and beat the heck out of each other. 3 hours later the entire place is a giant sea of feathers.

Probably 'cus it is Only park in the world to have a black dive machine. Especially if conveniently palced next to an old castle -
Tonight is an event I've ben waiting for all year - the annual city giant pillowfight! And my giant I mean 1000 people or so

^It was probably not open yet BECAUSE it was sitting there

It does happen from time to time, Freddie. I guess the brakes are there just to reduce the chances of it happening. But you do read about it in the papers every 2 years or so. ^I know for a fact that boomerang trains are stored in the station. Probably because that part of the track is covered, and has easy access from below.

Ah, okay, that makes sense Thanks for answering!

On the cobra roll. Yeah, they can Valley. The vertical loop is EXTREMELY unlikely

Well I was watching a couple of rollercoaster-related cartoons, and I remembered that in cartoons, whenever there's a power out the coaster train stops right where it is(Usually at the top of a loop). And I know that it doesn't really make sense since most coasters aren't electrictiy-powered, but then I realized that brakes ARE(or at least the sensors that trigger them). So if there's a power outage, which, from expereince I have seen to make Lift hills stop working, therefore eliminating my "Emergency generator" theory. What keeps the brakes running? On the Midwest trip they had to operate Avalanche's brakes manually since it got hit by lightning the night before, but what do you do if it happens mid-run? Is there actually a chance of something happening if the ride op doesn't notice in time?

Inverted Wooden Coaster
FLIPDUDE replied to Vffreak07's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not to mention wooden coasters are cheaper than steel ones. Which is part of what made SLCs so popular - They were cheaper than a non-model coaster. -

^^My favourite part abotu wooden coaster is the part where you fly through the supports of the part above you. In an inverted coaster it would all be like that. -

^^A wooden flyer would actually make more sense than a wooden inverted coaster. Both G-force wise and tunnel-testing wise, if going by nolimits terms. For example with an inverted wooden you probably wouldn't be able to build anything more extreme than a family coaster, but with a flying coaster you might be able to pull off something like Superman: Ultimate Flight. Especially considering flying coasters also ahve bits where riders are on their backs, which would be like regular wooden track. I can't see Intamin touching the idea with a 10 foot pole though. Lately intmain is more about perfecting existing ideas to their best as opposed to coming up with brand new coaster concepts. -
Mine EDIT - Ugh. Sorry. I tried resizing that first pic but it keeps giving me an error. I'll try agian later. Peekaboo See, I WAS going to look good in this Myspacey photo untill my friend Elad shoved his head in, and then asked me to photoshop the pic to make it brighter, which makes me look like a tomato with facial hair. I'm kind of weird in the sense that I'm probably the only eprson out there who looks BEST in photos taken on a rollercoaster or Passport photos.

Your longest hiatus from riding a coaster?
FLIPDUDE replied to JDo217's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me it's 5 years. My first coaster was when I was 3 years old. Since then I LOVED rollercoasters and wanted to ride the big ones at my home parks desperately. But they had an age limit of 8, and the one I rode when Iw as 3 got removed. Only after I grew up and was finally old enough to ride I found out that the signs says that kids below the age of eight can ride with an adult. D'oh! -
Inverted Wooden Coaster
FLIPDUDE replied to Vffreak07's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^There's alot of coasters in the world that thrive on being "Unique but not that thrilling". Only this one also has "Cheap" going for it since wooden coasters are cheaper. If they worked out the kinks I mentioned earlier, I can see this replacing "Rugrats runaway reptar" models. Or making for some Scooby doo Ghoster Coasters with an extra something. But again, thats a big "if".
