sspaz1000 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Great couple of updates I can't wait to start getting more parks and coasters, lol.
cfc Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I love this ride and don't understand why more weren't sold!?!? I can only imagine it must be some sort of maintenance nightmare or something. Very intrigued to ride some of the 'Version 2.0' ones in China! This puzzles me, too. I think this is the best coaster S&S has ever built, even if it is a "Frankenstein" job.
Meteornotes Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 ^I agree with both of you. I loved that ride, and would probably put it in my top ten steel. I'd love to see more of these built in the US. dt
chadster Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 What powers the launch of powder keg? Great photo by the way. I have it saved on my phone. Air launched catapult.
Godwyn Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Powder Keg was a surprise hit for us when we visited SDC last year. I was thinking Wildfire was going to be the best one there, then we rode this one. We kept running around and getting back on! Edit--Just realized this was my 666th post! Woo Hoo!

simon8899 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 At ringracer you see what nightmare air-compressed launch systems are, I'd also steer well clear of it as park-owner.
Hhappy Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 and i'm back Today i bring you 2 (more) picture from last years halloween "adventure" in Orlando. Hope you enjoy these images from Magic Kingdom First up: Sunset around Big Thunder Mountain Second bit: two images from the bride in the Haunted Mansion. Let me know which one you prefer or
spinning man Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 The second bride one for me. I remember the first time I rode the haunted mansion, the ride stopped for a few minutes and I was stuck beside the bride with my brother. Very fun.
Moose Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I know this isn't what you meant, but I prefer the one of Big Thunder.
BeemerBoy Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I'll vote for the second one. I'm pretty sure I told you the night you took that, but it's worth repeating....that's a frickin' great shot! I'll bet most people don't realize just how tough it is to nail the Disney dark ride shots properly without use of a flash...especially the Haunted Mansion ones. I'll offer up a new challenge for ya this year...the Caretaker and his dog (and not the one in the parade).
Hhappy Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 ^ somewhere in my mind i already had a picture of the caretaker and dog.. but i can't find it. Not sure if i'll have the chance to try again this year though..
Hhappy Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Update time. Today i have a picture from 2011 for you. It's Gwazi from Busch Gardens Tampa enjoy. Edited June 14, 2012 by Hhappy
sspaz1000 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Great picture of the sunset at Disney. ETA: gwazi looks pretty cool.
GrapesLie Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Wow Hanno! I LOVE this Thread! I haven't got to go on any TPR trip yet! My first will be next year! but this tread is getting me pumped up! I'm looking forward to actually meeting some of you TPR folks as well! Also thank you for pasting a photo of PowderKeg! Thats my home Park! LOVE IT! The OUTLAW 2013!
Meteornotes Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 The bride photos are really good. Like someone else said, taking decent photos inside one of these rides without using a flash is very difficult, so you've done an amazing job. dt
Hilltopper39 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 ^And taking photos inside the ride WITH flash is very annoying (to the other riders).
ernierocker Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Only one person in the Gwazi photo looked like they were in pain. Something must of been wrong.
gisco Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Only one person in the Gwazi photo looked like they were in pain. Something must of been wrong. But only two people on the whole train were holding there hands up!
SuperShawn Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 How on earth is the person in the back row smiling? That seat darn right killed me.
Hhappy Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 So which coaster/picture for today? How about multiple? Back in 2008 we had awesome weather while visiting Europa Park. Here are some picturess from Silverstar during that visit. enjoy. and as a bonus (since i will be in this area again pretty soon) If you see this.. you should be able to smell the Raclette stand
GrapesLie Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I have a couple of caption for picture one and two! Picture 1: HA! She has no idea I'm checking out her BOOBIES! Picture 2: Yes GLASSES! This completes my coaster geek sheek look! Picture 2 second option: Here let me put on my glasses! WAIT! This isn't Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster! Damn It! I dressed up like Fred for NOTHING!
simon8899 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Lol....never had problems with my glasses on a coaster...hate it when ride attendants make me taking mine off. At Liseberg they even let me wear them on Upsvinget! Way to go!
