Nrthwnd Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 ^^ And between mine, Chuck's, Megan's, David's, Hanno's and others' various takes (TRs) on the tour, you have a load of (sometimes) very unique pix and commentary of it all, coasters included.
ArizonaGuy Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Ok...that Wooden coaster looks so freakin fun!!! Great coaster footage!!
cfc Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 ^It made my top ten in this year's Hawker poll. I think it's the best thing GCI's ever done.
Moose Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 ^agreed. Great views, great fun in every seat, great use of terrain, and great airtime. The middle section of this ride with all the curved airtime hills. I just hope this park that had virtually no other rides open can maintain it.
cfc Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 I just hope this park that had virtually no other rides open can maintain it. That will be the true test.
LolaEliot Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 You guys have a really happy trip in China. I'm in China, but I've never been these places before. BREAKING NEWS!!! Chinese food tastes like pizza in China!!! lol.... What kind of food do you aet in China?
Nrthwnd Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 ^ We ate a number of times at Pizza Hut. And we did group meals at several places I can't even begin to remember. Eating various food, I can't remember either. The floating restaurant in Shanghai harbour, I remember. And a couple that were upstairs, and a couple of them... downstairs of couse!

Werner Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 HÉ! It's broke, what a Deja vú that is! Still some of my favorite rides any where, if they work
David H Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I've always liked the Deja Vu's -- when they're actually running and maintained and aren't rough as hell. But this one was definitely the best of them all, and I've now been on all 5, although they're building another one in Russia right now. I was in the back rows with Elissa on this ride. We both cracked up when we broke it!
kailisun98 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Hair Raiser is a great ride. I had heard bad things about before I rode but it really didn't disappoint. Yes, it had a very slight shake to it but overall I loved it and wouldn't go back to Hong Kong without making a trip to Ocean Park to reride it. Exactly. Some who had ridden before us claimed that Hair Raiser was rough and rattly and that we would all hate it. But it turned out to be the best new B&M ride of the last couple of years. I put these folks in the same category as those who claim Verbolten is "too rough." Yeah, well, I'm staying with my opinion. It's the worst (roughest) B&M ever! Maybe it's because there were only 2 people on both my rides that it rattled like all hell broke loose. You all rode it with full trains, so that might keep the train better on the track, I don't know. The only thing I do know is that I had a serious headache afterwards. And it didn't matter front or back. But it is strange hearing all this good things, since I rode it 1,5 weeks before you guys. well try vortex at california great america. OMFG it is rough.

Since zottewoef81 rode Chinese knock-off SLCs, I don't think he needs to ride Vortex to understand rough.
