Shadowforce Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hey everybody! This thread is simple! Rather than having a million little threads about everything that goes on at Tripsdrill, this thread is designed to consolidate it all into one user-friendly thread. Feel free to use it to post updates, trip reports, questions, comments, and of course, general discussion. For pictures and videos of the park as well as past updates, see TPR's Park Index Page Official Park Website Below are some links to past updates from the park, you may be interested in.

Coasters 4 ever Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 That's a horrible name. It does look like a cool ride, though. It's just that name... Just so everyone knows, RCDB has the stats in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Awesome now with than and Phantasialand we have two more reasons to go back to Europe! Hopefully between now and 2007 or 2008 there will be even MORE good stuff announced! --Robb "Who is planning to be in Europe every couple of years."

SharkTums Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I only have two words: Zoom Zoom I wonder if they'll play it on the ride like the SLC at Movie Park Germany!

socalMAN123 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 That's the most retarted name ever. The ride looks like fun, but the name just sucks. No offense to the park or anything. ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I really hate the name, but the coaster looks fantastic. I really like the dive over the escalator, hopefully its as good as it looks. Cant wait to ride it next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycloneMan Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Looks good. I actually like the name. It's a bizzare name nontheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hey, it's not as bad as Thunder Dolphin. That first inversion looks pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Darn it, now it looks like I gotta try to get there next year too. Hopefully I can add it into the England trip, otherwise I'll be taking a weekend flight there The first inversion looks pretty cool, as does its location. The name may sound dumb, but no more so than Kingda Ka, X, Zonga, or Rita. And the list of new rides for next year continues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis-storm Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Like Derek, the name is better Alton Towers rubbish Intamin Launched coaster. "RITA - Queen of Speed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman89 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I got excited when I first looked at the picture, but then I realised it couldn't be a Pretzel Loop. Silly Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 RCDB is calling that inversion a Cobra Loop/Immelman (like the first inversion on Storm Runner) The artwork may be deceiving. (That's almost as bad as SFGADV's old park maps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbeal Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 This has to be the best layout for an accelerator yet. Inversions and airtime, what more can you ask for? Ohhh, and that first airtime hill-into sweeping drop-into Immelmann isn't a bad combination either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMM rocks my socks Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I think the ride really looks cool and I really want to ride it. The name has got to be the cheesest name on earth but what can you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Than what would be a better name? Top Thrill DRAGster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingdaKa Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I think the ride really looks cool and I really want to ride it. The name has got to be the cheesest name on earth but what can you do. man so what ?? I don't give a damn, it's just a name ? It's the ride that's important.

DATman Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Have we not noticed that all european rocket coasters have weird names. Rita Humdinger (most likely) Speed Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hmmm, I'm liken der Speed Monster name. It is better than the made up sounds like Kingda Ka and Shiekra, and it is less plain than X or Scream. It looks like it will be fun. We complain about names, ride them anyway, and we probably couldn't think of better ones, anyways... Chris B Humdinger? What's up wit dat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackskellington101 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Speed Monster? It sounds like a Sesame Street character gone horribly horribly wrong. The layout looks interesting, but it's hard to tell what's what. At first it looked like the double corkscrew was a bunch of zig-zags, which might still be fun.

chauncey Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 It is better than the made up sounds like Kingda Ka and Shiekra... Shiekra isn't made up. It's even on Wikipedia, with a picture (here)! Anyways. The layout picture is sort of wierd, and so I'm waiting for a clearer picture, or more construction, to make up my mind. Although, all of these rockets looks good (except the top-hat and bunny-hill only ones.) As for the name, well, most rollecoasters have awful names! Speed Monster just seems to be a false statement, considering that it's actually pretty average speed for a large steel coaster (100kmph, or about 62mph).
