MisterP Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 If I were a melodramatic drama queen, I would cry when.... ...I drive by the old Celebration City graveyard in Branson and look at the completely useless, once-great Ozark Wildcat. I almost well up with tears when I look at it. OK, you get the idea. Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I would cry every time I saw Thunder Road at Carowinds. I miss the 2008 coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Fox Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Rocky Point Park. That was my childhood, and why I love amusement parks so much today. Now it's just a broken asphalt lot, thanks to the scum that embezzled away all the park's money until it closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelTheFORCE Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 My eyes always well up a bit whenever I ride Iron Dragon. My grandma (who is no longer with us) and I used to ride that all the time when I was 10 or so...that was *our ride.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmeister Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The part in IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth where the music builds in a huge crescendo and all of the lights in World Showcase come on at once. This occurs maybe a minute before the beginning of We Go On. I used to work Illuminations and despite having seen it hundreds of times, it still gives me chills. This is why when I hear rumors of a new show to replace the current version of IllumiNations, I pray it's not true. On a side note the second time I ever saw the show, I was treated to the sight of two ducks flying over the inferno barge when it started going off. They were engulfed and all that was left of them was two flaming missile shaped objects that flew out of the other side of the fireball from where they flew in. They splashed down into the water where they continued to smolder for a few minutes before going under. Hopefully no kid thought that it was Donald.

Midgetman82 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Revisiting the former site of my first looping coaster, Viper, would probably jerk some tears, then I'd be bawling over the current state of the park it was in.

Nickstroberg Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Exactly, GL had my first wooden coaster, Big Dipper. First ever looper, Double Loop. and one of my favorite woodies, Raging Wolf Bobs. Loved all three of them, will miss all three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcoastermark Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Every time I pass by the Dania Beach Hurricane, just sitting there, SBNO, rotting away. It was such a fun coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGeorge Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Whenever I think of the potential CGA could have had while also keeping much more charm, it does make me a bit sad. What cruel God would tear out a shuttle loop?? But I understand they didn't want to compete with SFMW up north, so that's why they built the Arrow Mouse & the go karts.

milst1 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 On Space Mountain in Disneyland, when the introduction music reaches its crescendo and the horn fanfare leads into the main rhythmic rocked out theme, I cry happy tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 For myself, and it's a non-event I guess, is constantly seeing that un-used space in Adventureland at DLP, beside the Indy Jones coaster. It's space for an eventual purpose, but I feel like it's never going to be used, ever. And every time I take the train around the park, we pass by the area...and I sigh. That's the sad one. The overjoyed ones were the first times I visited DLP and Tokyo Disney Sea. Standing in front of the Disneyland Hotel in Paris (2002) just overwhelmed me, and I started tearing up. And when I first walked through that archway in TDS (2007) and saw The Volcano for the visit time... Just an overwhelming feeling, and I had to stop and take a moment. Those two were great tear jerkers for me. EDIT to add: Actually, that first trip to DLP had me actually flipping back and forth between joy and sadness tears in the following way... Tears of Joy on first standing in front of the DL Hotel. Then, Tears of Sadness on finding out our mailed-to-us three day passes did NOT work at the side entry gates, for such things! I was in shock. And it took them nearly one hour to verify the tix were indeed real. I even had the accompanying letter with me, from them! It was an awful hour. Then we were let in, with new updated passes, and I first saw the Disney Castle down the street....back to Tears of Joy, LOL! (In hindsight, we knew we could buy ticket passes again. But that meant getting into the already long lines at both the ticket booths and entry gates. And after this shock, it just went out of our heads.) So happy there.

DrachenfireOP Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 My old answer for many years was riding on the train at BGW past the old Drachen Fire site, especially for the four years it was SBNO. I finally got over that and they went and ripped out the Wolf, my first ever coaster and one I worked on! Verbolten is a great ride, but I would have rather seen them put it elsewhere and kept the wolf too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckInSD Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Passing by the first park with my first credit, Fraiser's Frontier, always gets me. Ever since the park got flooded, it's been abandoned and left to decay. Seeing all of the old rides just rotting away is really saddening. It was so lively and colorful long ago...
