cfc Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Is that Soupy's long lost brother, or just a odd picture of Soupy? I think it's Soupy auditioning for the role of Curly in the Three Stooges flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That was my first TPR Trip!! Those chicken hats and random dance parties!! Oh...good times...good times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Is that Soupy's long lost brother, or just a odd picture of Soupy? I was thinking the same thing! But then I remembered that trip was like 7 years ago and I probably wouldn't want people posting pix of me 7 years ago and questioning if it was my sister>?!?!

Hhappy Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Anaconda Kings Dominion Once a while you encounter a coaster in a setting that makes it look somewhat pretty/cool.. But after riding you need a massage to recover.. (or at least I think that was how it was.. it has been a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barge84 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I didn't like Anaconda during the 2012 New Hotness Trip. I REALLY started to hate it during Coasting for Kids last year. 6 or 7 rides in an hour is torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperShawn Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I REALLY started to hate it during Coasting for Kids last year. 6 or 7 rides in an hour is torture. Agreed. That was probably the most painful hour of that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes my eyes fool me. At first I thought you said masochist. Now that I read it a second time, I see you said Massage. Yes, you need a Massage afterwards, but yes, if you like riding it I think you are a masochist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Not the worst Arrow I've ridden, and at least it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza29 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I didn't think it was *that* bad, and the "underwater" section is a fun gimmick, not that you really notice it when you're on the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barge84 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 ^The first half of the ride is fine. The second half is about as bad as it gets, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteornotes Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 ^One of the greatest rides on the planet. And I still say one will never be built in the US, at least not with OTSRs and/or being braked to death. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Turbo Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I really want to ride a mega-lite. Maybe someday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hope to ride it in a TPR tour to Japan! Kawasemi looks better than those standard ones for it's setting. Great photos, as always!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Kawasemi, like all the other Mega Lites, was great--and very re-rideable. They really pack a lot of airtime into a small space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Makes for an amazing front entrance. Yes, more so than CP. Don't hear a lot about this Accelerator coaster. LOVE the Norwegian loop. How is it in comparison to say, Storm Runner and/or Kanonen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's the best accelerator I've ridden (except Stealth, but that's only for the insane launch it has), and one of my favorite rides overall. Kanonen is not even worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as it. It just has everything. Three awesome inversions, a kick-ass launch, ejector airtime, two really good twisted hills as well as the fast turnaround after the loop. Only sad thing about it is that they have let the Norwegian teens trash the trains really bad, so they are pretty ugly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a damn shame. Sad to hear. Thanks for the explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I much prefer rides like Speed Monster and Kanonen to rides like Stealth and Kingda Ka. They're much more interesting. Great photos, Hanno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
