tykunkel1031 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just to add fuel to the fire, I like coaster studios. I don't get why some people are such pricks about his videos. No one snaps on half the people on this site (who are far worse) like they do on him. He's just making videos of his opinions. Jesus people, show a little kindness and respect. You know you wouldn't say most of this stuff to his face. I'm not trying to moderate or be in charge or whatever, but just think of what you would and wouldn't say to his face. Anyway, back to that 1847203 foot inverted aquatrax RMC B&M with a 13859 mph launch that will be coming next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â And regarding Coaster Studios I have no issue with him at all. I just don't consider him a useful source for information because obviously he's not exactly an insider. His videos aren't really my cup of tea but he seems like a cool kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tykunkel1031 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Ok fair. But you're allowed to because every time it makes my day I agree he isn't a consistently reliable source. Some things he says are true, some just flat out aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterguy21 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) For the most part, I didn't have a problem with Coaster Studios. He posted on the boards for awhile but has since disappeared. Â I think what really irked me was when he reported his so called "opinions" as facts for awhile. Like after the incident with Raptor at Cedar Point, he guaranteed that Valravn was going to be renamed and that he had several sources he'd consider reliable that told him. When people questioned him on it saying that no one else was reporting that the named would be changed, he just responded with "They don't have the sources I have". Folks like that just irk me sometimes. And that turned out to be 100% false (some reliable sources). A lot of folks (on TPR and not on TPR) would laugh when someone would cite his videos as official sources (not 100% his fault because there a lot of morons on the internet that will believe anything they see. But for awhile it seemed as if he was reporting things as fact) Â I will say, however, that I have watched some of his videos since and he does seem to have kind of stepped away from doing things like that. He states in his speculation videos that they are his opinions and just speculation (unless he has hard proof that everyone already knows at that point). So he has changed the way he operates. Most of his review videos now also come from parks he has actually visited and he will grade rides he has ridden. Overall, he has done a lot of maturing. Â Personally, I have nothing against him. He's a kid who is passionate about coasters and amusement parks. More power to him! I'll still watch his videos occasionally because he really has changed and matured a bit.

I don''t have anything against him, probably a really nice kid tbh. His videos just stink and they should be taken with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCF Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I think it would be a GCI re-track if anything. It proved successful at Kentucky Kingdom with Thunder Run, even if Kings Dominion "deserves" better than every park in Cedar Fair that's better than it.

The Geek Mojo Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just to get in on the discussion here...I have to say I like Coaster Studios. But saying that, I like everybody's coaster channels.

grsupercity Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I put coaster coaster studios on the same Level as the Darien Lake and KD threads. A bunch of nonsense speculation that never comes to fruition. I kid I kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have watched CS's videos from time to time, for kicks and giggles, and I think my kids have watched him some too. My biggest issue, honestly, is his voice, and delivery. It's just not very good for speaking or presentation, which is what he's doing amounts to. He's not a professional though, so it's not a big deal. I respect anybody, to a certain extent, who takes valuable time, and uses whatever skills they have to create something. Even if it's not excellent or professional. The act of creation is impressive in its own right. Many people with potentially greater skills sit around and judge and criticize others' work, all the while contributing nothing of value themselves. So at the very least, he gets props from me for putting himself out there, and taking the time and effort to do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 You don't really need a ton of advice for those parks. Lines shouldn't be a problem, ride Volcano first at KD. Eat a Bavarian pretzel at BGW (over by Verbolten) and ride Apollo's Chariot in the very back row. Don't miss Escape from Pompeii at BGW. You barely get wet and the theming is great. Â That's about the extent of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The advice I can give you is that try and go on Volcano first before anything. Lines for Volcano can potentially go out the queue while there is a walk-on for I305. Flight of Fear is pretty iffy, sometimes it's complete walk on and the ride ops will give you double-rides because of it, other times, it can get extremely long. Â Anaconda isn't as horrible as people say, but it is best to brace yourself during that weird helix... Â I personally found Grizzly to be better than Hurler, even though they're both pretty rough woodies. Â Backlot Stunt Coaster is actually a pretty solid ride if you want my opinion. It's perfect for families, but those helices in the beginning sometimes pack a good punch. Â Dominator is pretty solid too, although people do point out the B&M rattle at some points of the ride.
