Angry_Gumball Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Besides hearing other stupid people at parks, what were some of your newbiest thoughts when you became interested in coasters? Mine would have to be back when MarineWorld first added it's coasters. I got a post card advert thingy in the mail shortly after a trip to so cal (KBF, DLR, USH) and rode my first Boomerang. On the post card, they had a picture of Boomerang. My first thoughts were "OMG...they're copying off of KBF!" but I didn't realize the idea of Vekoma clones. Even earlier, I was browsing the Six Flags website and saw Six Flags Great America. First thought: "Why is Six Flags copying off of our Great America...right down to the layout of the park?" It wasn't until later I realized PGA and SFGAm were "Sister parks" in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 When I started getting interested in rollercoasters, I thought MCBR's were 'fake stations' to make the passengers think that the ride was over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maliboomer Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I thought Disneyworld was in the middle of nowhere. And it was called Disneyworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasters 4 ever Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 That Hulk and Dueling Dragons were huge, and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster had a really fast launch.I also thought that you can feel the 'drop' at the end of a cobra roll or a big loop.

benzo41190 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I thought that if you put your hands up that you would hit your hands on the headchoppers. But this is kinda true on Colossus at SFMM because it says dont raise hands. I also thought that parks made the coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
