coastercrazed49 Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 That Swing Ride looks insane, but awesome at the same time. Uuuummmm Expedition Geforce and all its amazing airtime.
Homer Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 GeForce and Starflyer look insane. Super Gerbil also look like a fine Vekoma masterpiece .
IwantRevenge Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks for having the DL Â Nice TR pretty funny with jeff.
BarryH Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Wow, two updates in one day? I am quite amazed! Â Great photos! KidTums looks so quiet and well-behaved.
PKI Jizzman Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Someday, I will go the Holiday Park and ride EGF alllllllllllll day
thefitness Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Awesome Pictures/Video. The amount of hair time was unreal! Â That Spinning Sky Tower of Death looks freakin' scary, but extremely fun at the same time.
RCFreak Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 DUDE, The scariest part of the Lighthouse/StarFlyer was when Robb sat down the whole thing tipped a bit!
Louise Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 ^ LOL, you beat me to it!! I was just about to say, regarding this caption: Â Lou and Hector may *look* calm, but they really are about to poo poo porcupines in rapid fire mode. Â We WERE both calm! Both of us were loving it up there, as we were waiting in the queue I kept waiting to get nervous and it freaked me out when I didn't, until Robb sat in the seat in front and I kid you not, the whole thing rattled! THEN we were worried! And hell, as much as I can make "Robb is fat" jokes all day, he really isn't *that* fat, certainly not big enough that he should make a Starflyer wobble. But anyway. My laughing face in that one pic says it all, EGF just made me giggle! Â Dave Lawrence described the first drop as a "religious experience", which I agree with, but those trims... Yeah, it's trimmed hard, and you REALLY feel it in the back. Still an incredible coaster though, I can imagine how amazing the whole ride would be if the trims were lighter.
RonFrost Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 ^Is that why Robb wasn't on any of your lists? Cause he's really a woman!!?? Â That very well could be... Â I was trying to think were he was on my list, then I realized there were no women on it. Now it all makes sense.
sfne2005 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 EG is real good.....but in NO WAY better than SUPERMAN RIDE OF STEEL @ SFNE!
ParkTrips Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 ^ But did it even have a chance to be? Â A bad day on GeForce was still pretty damn awesome, I'd love to get a good day!!
ginzo Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Has EGF been retrofitted with those terrible new restraints are being installed on the S:ROS coasters? I'm still trying to figure out what genius thinks it's a good idea to have bars pressing against the rider's shins. Â B&M may win by default if all the Intamin hypers get these absurdly bad new restraints.
ms13 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Gotta love those vekoma corkscrews! Anyway, E.G.F. looks crazy, but amazingly fun. Also, those "swings" look scary as heck. Thanks for the update!
robbalvey Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 THose new restraint things were a Six Flags thing, not an Intamin thing. Â And yeah, I was very bummed that GeForce was not running up to it's potiential that day. It EASILY can beat out SROS when it's running in top form. Â Oh well..... Â *sigh*
sfne2005 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 ^ But did it even have a chance to be? Â A bad day on GeForce was still pretty damn awesome, I'd love to get a good day!! Â Yes quaddie, it did. It had everything in its favor to be the #1.....the weather, the people, the ERT, the park reps, and the hype. As Robb mentioned, the trims killed it. If they were totally off, I dunno....we'd have to see. I prefer SROS layout better since it has less MF overbanks but love the setting over the trees and the creek (or was it the raft ride?). Â If we had just ridden Balder one time, it probably wouldn't be my favorite coaster of all time. But the whole experience made it #1. Oh that's right, you didn't ride Balder !
BrownStreak Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Oh man I didn't mean to start a translating war, but if you saw my right or left arm, or my back, or the left upper part of my chest you would know why I wanted to know the name of the "pig" coaster :@) Â By the way, where is Elissa's hand?

Â And yeah, I was very bummed that GeForce was not running up to it's potiential that day. It EASILY can beat out SROS when it's running in top form. Â Oh well..... Â *sigh* Â Can you bribe them to turn the trims off?

Â *sigh* Â Can you bribe them to turn the trims off? I'm sure if we told them that everyone on the trip would rank it #1 in the internet coaster poll they would turn off the trims! Â --Robb "Although with the trims off, it would be ranked accurately anyway!" Alvey
DrummingCannoli Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Man Robb, if I were you I would've been deaf from Hoffman girl screaming! Â I've always wanted to ride that thing. Great update! Â BTW, is the airtime comparable to El Toro's? Or is the ride experience similar to Superman at SFNE? Just trying to get a better idea of what the ride feels like.
odene497 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks for the awesome update! Ge Force looks incredible! One question, what are the conditions that you are allowed to walk up the lift? I would think more people would go up if they could, so is it just you who has special permission? Â -Nick "I'd love to go up there" Cramer
robbalvey Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 ^ I had special permission to do it. Â --Robb
