Force 310 Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Wild Train looks awesome as always. It's a shame that more crazy, obscure European coaster manufacturers aren't more like PAX and less like, I dunno, Soquet. (I'd link to Soquet's hilariously amateurish website here, but since the last time I checked, they've updated it to look like it wasn't designed in 1996 by a committee of second-graders.) (It still looks pretty bad, but not this bad.) Anyway. Nice trip report as usual, and one that I'll be looking forward to reading the rest of in the next few hours. I have plenty of catching up to do -- in fact, I just rediscovered this website a couple days ago, as I live near Cleveland and, uh, certain events were transpiring. Good times.
let1gre Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Does Shane remind anyone else of a smooth Joe Biden?
piers Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Does Shane remind anyone else of a smooth Joe Biden? He reminds me of Jenifer Lopez!
sspaz1000 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Great update I got a bit behind, so I had a few pages to read. That slide of death looked awesome. I love the fact that KT loved it. I think when i was her age, I would have been a bit scared of the slide. Nicole
montezooma Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Does Shane remind anyone else of a smooth Joe Biden? He reminds me of Jenifer Lopez! Joe Biden???? Jenifer Lopez????? I guess it's back to my "doctor" ...hope I don't end up looking like Joan Rivers, or worse...Big Mike
EGF-Freak Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I wish fairs were like that here. We only have stupid county fairs with ghetto rides... Alpina Bahn looks a little rough judging from your video, whereas Olympia Looping looks pretty smooth. How are they holding up in their old age? In Germany are the better fairs and in the USA the rollercoasters are better!!! Alpinabahn / Olympialooping: Both roller coasters are in excellent condition. The Alpina Bahn got a new (bigger) entrance last year. I think the theming of the Alpina Bahn is much better (more attrative).
Montuman99 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Robb I have a question, why isn't there a Wild Train in America?
mightbeawannabe Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 ^The same reason why American lawyers aren't affected by recessions.
ParkTrips Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 ^ why? Its not like it leaves the realm of a normal coaster in terms of safety (actual or implied). The so-called "never in America" attractions are just those in which stupidity could create liabilities - ie, self-operated rides, the "triangles of death" climbing things, weird jungle gyms, etc Its just a coaster. (a very good one no less, but still a very standard coaster that could easily operate in America)
mightbeawannabe Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 ^Yes, while it is a safe coaster, someone claims they 'nearly died,' it's a lawsuit. I'm not saying it will happen, but it could. Anyway, are there any more updates in store for us?
robbalvey Posted November 12, 2010 Author Posted November 12, 2010 are there any more updates in store for us? No, sorry. We did post something like 500 photos, about 15 videos and a FREE DVD for Club TPR members, though... --Robb
robbalvey Posted November 18, 2010 Author Posted November 18, 2010 As epic as this trip was, it's time to un-stick this. Hope you all enjoyed this update! --Robb
