sirspanky53 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Oh ok looks pretty fun. Definitely different that may work for the park as well. But a well done launch sounds pretty good if not a B&M wing rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 A launch would be cool as long as it's got more track than verbolten. That ride just doesn't seem worth the wait. To short Have you even ridden it? Anyways, seems like "Full Throttle" (if everything is true) is a test to see if launch coasters are well-received/are a good investment, and then they'll dish out more launchers to other parks. I remember reading that a SFGadv poll asked what they'd like to see in the park, and one of the options was a 70+ mph launch coaster, and SFNE also asked if guests would like to see a launcher too. (Though seeing as it's SFNE I couldn't see them getting anymore than a clone of S:UF ) From all that, I'd say a launcher is possible for 2014 and beyond.

Her0ofLime Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 ^ From all that, I'd say a launcher is possible for 2014 and beyond. I could definintly see that happining, as SFOG has yet to intrdroduce an original launch coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirspanky53 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Haven't ridden it but the videos of it make it look really short. I am not opposed to launcher in the least. I would just like something more like cheetah hunt, instead of verbolten I like that wide open speed. I love that figure 8 cheetah has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirspanky53 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I can see the park adding a flat for 2013 maybe another coaster by 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her0ofLime Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I can see the park adding a flat for 2013 maybe another coaster by 2015. I could also see a sky screamer, looking at how much open space the park has, we could do a Sky Screamer AND a launch coaster in the same year.

SharkTums Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Let's try to keep all of these random conversations about what you think the park should get to PM's or the rumor thread. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirspanky53 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 so does anyone know what kind of crowd is expected Sunday? For the Mars fun day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscJSU Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Anyone know if you can use multiple of the "bring a friend for 9.99" coupons that season pass holders get when they purchase their pass. I want to bring a few friends to the park, but they don't have a season pass and will only be coming once this year so it doesn't make sense for them to spend the money on one.

You can use one BAF for $9.99 per Season Pass. If they are only visiting once, I recommend purchasing the additional tickets online 3-days in advance to save $20.

Midgetman82 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If I didn't have band camp the day after, I SO would have attended Deep South Bash. Oh well. I'm going to try for East Coast Bash at KD... Cross my fingers my dad doesn't plan anything before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgam#1 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I think I might be coming to is SFOG soon!! But I wanted to know how is Goliath running. Back in 2010 it was really rough and rattly in the back and I thought I caught the ride on a bad day. So how is it this year is it better ..or worse??

funkeymon Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Basically every hill before the trims has a bad rattle. It's the worst B&M in the park on that level. Honestly, it's still good enough to re-ride, but the rattle is getting a little out of control... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgam#1 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 ^Noooo Because I rode it 4 times back in 2010. The first time and second time was okay. Then the 3rd and 4th time it was really bad!!! It gave me a headache!!! But also how is Ninja?? Back in 2007 it tried to kill me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know a coaster sucks when the ride is rough before the lift hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonetheonlyJT Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 That's bad to hear Goliath is so rough and that Ninja is same old Ninja when it has some potential for it is a great looking coaster. How is GASM, last time I was on it was after rain and it was very smooth and had good airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I was talking about Ninja. Goliath seems smooth to me. I prefer Cannonball to GASM but that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonetheonlyJT Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 ^ Sorry for the wording I knew what you were talking about. but I've read on this thread that Goliath has a bad B&M rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirspanky53 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It's bad when GASM gave a smoother ride ride yesterday than Goliath. Don't get me wrong I freaking love Goliath. But that's what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hmmm - I rode Goliath multiple times in April and didn't find it rough at all! There was some rattling going on, but it was sound more than actual feeling. GASM was running wonderfully this spring and the old GASM train from NJ on Ninja actually made quite a difference to me. I pretty much enjoyed the ride! Finally - I absolutely LOVED Daredevil Dive. By far my favorite Eurofighter to date. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirspanky53 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The middle cars of train 2 have a wicked rattle developing. Between this year and last I have noticed a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 My rides on Goliath last year could be best described as this: The first ride, during the day, myself & two others were subjected to a nasty vibration/rattle that was painful- even to me. As in: teeth were rattling. However, at night it was a different story all around: In the front, the ride was amazingly smooth and provided a decent ride all around. The rear was good (Not -quite- as good as the front, but that's my preferences) and equally as smooth. I never noticed any rattles or such. I'll be there in less than two weeks, so hopefully I'll be able to see if there's a difference year over year; hopefully it will provide as good a journey now as then. (That is if I get away from Mindbender...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirspanky53 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 your absolutely right. The Goliath night rides are unmatched in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 your absolutely right. The Goliath night rides are unmatched in my opinion. Not quite what I said- Mindbender still schools Goliath from Atlanta to LA & back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
