SteelForceless Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 In regards to a Twitter post in the Cedar Point thread: Everyone commenting on that twitter post seems to be the kind of enthusiast that you can tell is an enthusiast and therefore the bad kind. In the five year plans thread: Lakemont Park:2017: They will open for the season 2018-21: See above In the Kings Dominion thread: ^^I bet you're getting laid now that everyone knows that you were the one to go against the grain and say it would happen. Here's your cookie, m8. You think predicting events at an amusement will get you laid? If this is true for you, hide the women you care about from TPR.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Speculating about names for the new coaster taking the place of Mean Streak: I'd prefer "Holy S**t, This Is So Much Better Than Mean Streak". Rolls right off the tongue.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 I never got the hate for TPR. I just found the group in question (which has 319 members) and while I'm not here to kiss a**, any website that can piss off 319 coaster enthusiasts just by existing is destined to be one of my favorite websites by default. All I know is that if even a quarter of those 319 people were here on TPR it would make our forum a much more obnoxious and horrible place to be... more than it already is! I'm actually quite happy when I get to deliver another member to their group! Just means a better place for the rest of us, and I'm happy to have found that person a new home. Look at it like a "relocation service" free of charge!
SteelForceless Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 ^Yes, Mount Olympus officially announced that they're getting a new ride called "The Wrecking Ball." It's gonna be exclusive to 2017, as you will be able to ride on a real full-sized wrecking ball (Miley style) as it rams you into its rides and coasters. Literally. The ride will relocate around the park weekly. Also, after this ride's operation, the park will close permanently.
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 November 1st and our first <> is out of room post! Yay! Don't you just love the off-season?
SteelForceless Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Someone mentioned going around thanksgiving on here and I just wanted to mention, the park may be extra crowded that day because they're having a Christmas if Many Colors Red Carpet premier, and my best guess is the cast is going to be there including Dolly. yea i saw on their website shed be there. no shed be at kings island This post is way funnier than it should be.
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Well, according to screamscape they've completed a small double-down type element and the initial lift track. Oh come on. . . You know how it works, pics or it didn't happen! I can screenshot the screamscape update. Does that count? Oh, offseason.
DoinItForTheFame Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 In regards to new Vekoma concepts. . . Vekoma is like the alcoholic who went through rehab and is much more enjoyable to be with now. . .
ytterbiumanalyst Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 Still don't understand the two tube track with no diagonal ties, what's the deal with that? I guess, using my engineering degree from Enthusiast University, that there's probably going to be basically no forces on that section of track so they've tried to save a little bit of steel and a bit of money? "engineering degree from Enthusiast University"
TheCoasterKid211 Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 Another gem from boldikus right here... it might not fit in this thread, but I think it's hilarious. The first ditch batched train on GASM at sfgav in '89 Most of the time I hate auto-correct, but not always.
DoinItForTheFame Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 From the Cedar Point thread. . . World's First Light Pole with Interlocking Step-Up Underflips! Don't forget the dueling non-inverting half loops. That would never work. The dueling aspect of the two elements will cause the light to rattle. I'm not an engineer but when i was in kindergarten i built a paper airplane and it flew like a meter so I'm qualified to talk about this subject. Omg. I'm dying.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 The huge growth of holiday events with parks in cold climates running coasters through January is seriously the best new trend in the theme park industry in decades.
I love pie Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 I'm still mad about that stupid boat joke. Me too. This boat joke is the coaster enthusiast of jokes. I didn't know jokes could have an odor.
SteelForceless Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Do the other Six Flags parks not have the Go Fresh Cafe's like we do? It's all like health conscious sh*t and plants to eat there right? I honestly don't know because #TeamMachoNacho. I'm pretty sure their salads are just weeds they pulled out of the rocks in the Nitro queue behind the building.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Your weight loss program allows fried chicken strips and fries but not alcohol? Lol you need a new weight loss program and new priorities.
SteelForceless Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I saw a video of La Ronde and thought it looked very good with all the water around. A park with water all around does not = a good park. Just look at SFNO. Also: how great it would've been if they managed to pull off a smooth version of M&D's Tornado? They were a long way away from pulling that off. Step one to desiging a smooth ride is to design a train that doesn't go rogue and fly kamakazi missions into nearby kiddy rides.
TheAmericanKnight Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I like the finest quality chicken butt.

DoinItForTheFame Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Hi! I like the finest quality chicken butt. wait what I think you guys got your threads confused. . . This is where you belong.
coasterbill Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I think you guys got your threads confused. . . This is where you belong.
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I have a possible name for RMC Mean Streak: Lightning Bolt. RMC has already had its fill of lightning named coasters... As far as the name goes, I tossed my quarter in the wishing well for something terrible. Like "Brown Coaster 1" or "The Pride of Sandusky." Basically anything that will cause a select portion of the coaster enthusiast community to lose their minds. Oh, and I hope it has the most basic two dimensional logo ever created, pulled straight from Microsoft Word, using black Times New Roman font, and a rainbow drawn in cheap crayon from Mrs. Smith's third grade class at Sandusky Elementary School, on a coffee stained piece of paper.
SteelForceless Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Apologizing for the couple spam posts between TheAmericanKnight and I. Anyway, here's a gem from the NASA Superbowl VR Drop Tower thread: Given the nature of the ride which consists of slow rise that goes on for a long period of time followed by an abrupt freefall back to earth I think they should stick with the NFL theme and the VR headsets should display highlights from Dallas Cowboys games from this past season in chronological order.
CaptainUnknown Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Compliments of the Cedar Point Forum. Every year CF puts a $20 in the jar for these parks. They'll get their coaster soon enough If my math is correct, Dorney should be.... Last new coaster- 2005, hydra. This year- 2017. 2017-2005= 12 years. So, at 20 dollars a year, there will be 240 dollars in Dorneys jar right now. Basing this off of a B&M coaster, going to say the cost of said coaster will be 30,000,000 USD. 30,000,000-240($ already saved)= 29,999,760 dollars to go. 29,999,760/20(money saved per year)=1,499,988. So Dorney will not see its next new coaster for another 1,499,988 years.
Philrad71 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Despite that this is only Monday, it's clear to see that we already have a winner for this week... Honestly, this is why Trump is our president because people are just this dumb now.
