boweryboy Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Giant Dipper - Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (Backseat!) on Saturday. Also got my first and last ride on Hurricane. The Hurricane is an awful coaster. I remember how crestfallen I was when it replaced the Schwarzkopf Jet Star in the early '90s. Jet Star was one of the the first coasters I ever rode - along with Willard's Whizzer at Great America when it was Marriott's. That same Jet Star is now rusting in a defunct amusement park in Oregon. Makes me sad to think about it.
greg spalding Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 The Swarm at Thorpe Park on the first RCCGB trip of this year. Pretty good it is as well!
SharkTums Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 Typhoon at Marah Land in Oman. Poor KT was in tears after one op told her she could ride and then another said no. She refused to leave the platform! We've created a monster!
Rai Fox Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Boulder Dash at Lake Compouce, during their halloween event last year...and it'll be my first coaster of this year in a few weeks, too!
Midgetman82 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Best. Indoor. Coaster. Ever. (That I've ever been on.)
SuperShawn Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Green Lantern at SFMM, got 3 flips and had the best ride on it yet!
Bob! Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Yesterday, I rode Oziris (the Parc Astérix's new B&M Inverted). Well ... It was a very smooth ride, very very good theming all over the place. It has a nice zero-G-roll, but ... I thought it would be more intense. In fact, I think you can consider it as a kiddie inverted coaster B&M, and not really as a very intense and awesome one. I'm a bit disappointed by this ride, but eh, I prefer old-school B&M, and that's all. Edited April 24, 2012 by Bob!
noblewick Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Last coaster I rode was the Comet at Hershey park. It just wasn't the only last one of my trip there; the entire day I spent riding all 12 coasters(those of which were open that day and Skyrush still being worked on). I had Never been to the park before so my head was focused on getting the credits in and ride. BTW, Sky rush looks CRAZY so I really want to go back another time and get on that thing. On to my pictures: I'll just post the two best ones from the Kissing Tower which I rode. If you want, play "spot the coasters" every one of Hershey's coasters are in these two photos; Enjoy.
noblewick Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 It wasn't my last, but I think my favorite one of the day had to be Stormrunner. Beforehand I had never been on a launch coaster with the top hat element. I did get a chance to ride "Speed: the Ride" on the Strip in Vegas, which is also a launch coaster but not a full circuit one. But this one was far better and much more powerful. Here's the best shot that I could get of it. BTW, I think Hershey had to be one of the best parks that I have been to that had great interaction with its coasters and the general public that could watch from below or near by. Great Bear and the superdelooper were perfect examples of this; I'll throw in one of those shots as well here are the pics Almost missed it. if i was just a little quicker loved the layout of this coaster. I could stand by it all day...but that would be silly I WANT TO RIDE IT
Mr Stratosphere Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Silver Bullet at KBF, had a really great day at the park on Wednesday, everything was a walk on. And somehow stayed dry on Perilous Plunge! Everything was open except Windseeker and Rip Tide
eltoro96 Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 kingda ka<3...last ride of the night at great adventure opening day
Montu Maniac Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 OzIris @ Parc Asterix 2 days ago ....... WHAT A GREAT RIDE THIS IS !!!!!
Bob! Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 ^ Seriously, you find Oziris awesome? I had the strange impression that I was riding a kiddie B&M. Not forceful, no positive G forces, nothing but very small airtimes ... Other than that, it is very well themed.
GriffyTiffy Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Ninja at SFSTL last Saturday, last train of the day. I've always had a soft spot for that ride. Not bad at all. And the headchopper under the lift is delightful.
bottom_feeder_13 Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 A crappy little Fabbri spinner at the local carnival.
