A.J. Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I've been waiting for this. 3 of my favorites? Let's go with some underrated ones, Lightning Racer, Mindbender, and Tennessee Tornado. Parks I visited in 2018? Seven. Favorite visit? My first visit to Busch Gardens Tampa back in November. Favorite addition? Slinky Dog Dash and Toy Story Land. Ride that exceeded expectations? Twisted Cyclone. Best meal? The Chicken Thai noodles at the Skipper Canteen. Favorite non-RMC / Larson new coaster? Slinky Dog Dash. Park to visit in 2019? Liseberg. Best ride themed to a bird? Phoenix, of course. Get on my level. Lamest coaster I rode in 2018? Sand Serpent. Bucket list coaster? Balder, forever and always. New-for-2019 coaster? Untamed. Middle-of-road park? Wild Adventures. Orlando ERT session? Mako. Funny story, I actually had an ERT session on Mako back in October. Holiday in the Park or Winterfest? Haven't been to either. Shed or fire? Wicker Man's fire, definitely. Most recent Six Flags visit? Six Flags Over Georgia. Intamin or Schwarzkopf? Intamin, unfortunately. Kings Island or Kings Dominion? Haven't been to either. Longest wait? About 1 hour and 40 minutes for my first ride on Avatar Flight of Passage. Worth it. Most-ridden coaster? Phoenix. Of course, of course, of course. Best small drop towers? Haha, as if you'd get me on a drop tower. Maverick or Millennium Force? I'd want to ride Maverick more. Log flumes or sky rides? Log flumes. Other enjoyable home park things? Seeing shows, eating good food, and just walking around for exercise. Second favorite Cedar Fair park? Well, I've only been to Dorney Park, so... Why visit my home park? Three kick-butt B&Ms and manatee viewing areas. Launch or lift? Lift. Did I buy any line skipping passes? Nope. Least favorite wooden coaster? Great American Scream Machine. Disney fans? Somewhere in the middle. Most are really great people but others are just nuts. I was not happy when the only T-shirt I wanted from Mickey's 90th event was sold out at 8 in the morning on a Thursday when the actual event wasn't until Saturday. Best Batman themed ride? The inverted coasters. Take-home from parks? Event-specific T-shirts or merch. Best wooden coaster over 110 feet tall? El Toro, that's an easy one. Ever hit with something? Nope! Are Skywarps credits? Not in our traditional sense, but I would consider them powered coasters. So closer to a "credit" than a Larson loop. Turkey legs? Nah. Most recent B&M? Kumba, last week. Corn dogs, churros or funnel cake? Churros. On-ride photo? I don't ever purchase on-ride photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm so glad that this is here. 1. Name 3 of your favorite roller coasters, but not your top 3. - Here I go with my contrarian bullsh*t... Steel Vengeance - Twister at Knoebels, only because this ride gets no love whatsoever - Get ready to belt it... get ready... get ready... it's the MIIIIIIIIIIISTY MYSTERY MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE 2. About how many different parks did you visit in 2018? You know that I'm too lazy to count this 3. Which 2018 park visit was your favorite? I have Knoe f*cking idea. 4. Your favorite 2018 park addition (ride, food, show, etc)? Those single rail coasters are god damn ridiculous. I also love that Holiday in the Park in f*cking Chicago is a thing but I didn't make it out for the event so I can't really pick it. 5. What ride exceeded your expectations the most in 2018? A few come to mind... - Navi River Journey... quit your f*cking bitching about this ride. I expected it to suck because of all the whining but it was fantastic. - Blue Hawk - Cannibal 6. Best meal/food at a park in 2018? Bro... 7. What was your favorite new coaster of 2018 NOT made by RMC or Larson? Thank god we rode Oscar's Wacky Taxi because I think the only other coaster that fits that description is Wild Whizzer at Morey's and that would be such a ridiculous answer 8. Name one park you will definitely visit in 2019. Cedar Point... when are we going? 9. Best ride themed to a bird? I warned you that you should specify that the bird CAN'T be on fire or everyone would have the same answer. Make that 2 votes for Phoenix. 10. Lamest ride/coaster you rode in 2018? Peter Pan's Flight. Antarctica is objectively worse for 99% of the ride but then there are penguins so all is forgiven. 11. What roller coaster currently sits at the top of your bucketlist? (degree of difficulty: NOT a new-for-2019 ride) Nemesis 12. What new-for-2019 ride or coaster are you most looking forward to? Just hook me up to a butterbeer IV please. 13. Name the first totally middle-of-the-road (not bad/not great) park that comes to mind. Behold... the new addition 14. You're in Orlando and magically have a 1-hour ERT session on 1 coaster of your choice at any park in the city. You choose... I should probably say Manta, Everest or Mummy but... Gringotts... the best ride in Orlando 15. Holiday In The Park vs. Winterfest. Who reigns supreme? Cheers to riding Nitro in a snowy, frozen, blustery hellscape. Winterfest sucks the big one. 16. Mystic Timbers mystery shed or Wicker Man fire infusion? TURN AROOOOOOUND BRIGHT EYES 17. Which Six Flags have you been to most recently? The one where every day is... ... a Great Adventure 18. Intamin or Schwarzkopf? You may only choose one. Intamin 19. Battle of Kings Coasters: Island or Dominion? Pick one. Is it night time? No? Then Kings Dominion. 20. What was the longest you waited for a ride/coaster in 2018? 2 hours for Valravn since it kept breaking 21. What roller coaster have you ridden more than any other? It's got to be Six Flags' Most Explosive Coaster 22. Best drop tower under 150 feet? Best drop tower period... Demon Drop. 23. Maverick or Millennium Force? (If you haven't been to CP, pick what you want to ride more) This is a tough call but I guess I'll have to go with the single greatest coaster to ever grace planet earth and say Millennium Force (of course of course). 24. Log flumes or sky rides? You can only choose one. I hate you 25. What are 3 things you enjoying doing at your home park other than riding rides? Drinking beer, drinking Shipwreck Cider, drinking those frozen things at the Sky Bar 26. What is your second favorite Cedar Fair park and why? Kings Dominion because it's pretty, the coaster lineup is fantastic and they have one of the best flumes in America. 27. What is your home park and give us two good reasons why we should pay it a visit. Technically? Rye Playland I guess but we never go there. Um... you can save money on drugs by using some of the complimentary needles in the parking lot and their Volare hasn't technically killed anyone yet 28. Launch or Lift? Lift 29. Did you buy fast pass at all in 2018? F*ck yeah we did 30. What is your least favorite wooden coaster? Mighty Canadian Minebuster would be dramatically better if it was on fire 31. Disney fanboys: cool or cult? I've been lucky enough that I haven't had to deal with it, so I'll say it's probably a mix. 32. Best Batman themed ride? Does Justice League count? 33. Name something that tend to take home from parks that you didn't bring with you. Ornaments 34. Best wooden coaster over 110 feet tall? (rcdb will help you) I don't need RCDB. 35. Have you ever been hit with something (loose change/a tree/vomit/etc) while riding something? I was hit with the crippling realization that I was at f*cking Sesame Place and that I needed to re-evaluate my life while we were riding Vapor Trail (but it was fun, lol). We were also hit with a sh*t ton of snow on Batman during Holiday in the Park. It was great. 36. Skywarps: credits or no? State your case. It's 2 credits because it's like 2 super loops. 37. Turkey legs: nah or yaaaaassssss? Nah 38. What is the most recent B&M that you rode? Nitro in January 39. You can eat nothing but corn dogs, churros or funnel cake for the next 48 hours, which do you choose? I choose to starve 40. Post a great on-ride shot of you from 2018. (DO IT!) Come on...

jlp94 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Here we go! Note that these answers are only based on what I've ridden. 1. Name 3 of your favorite roller coasters, but not your top 3. Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast (my #12 overall), Goliath at SFGAm (my #8 overall), and X2 (my #6 overall) 2. About how many different parks did you visit in 2018? I whored out Illinois to complete the state in terms of credits, so my grand number because of that is 18 parks even though I only got 37 new creds last year. 3. Which 2018 park visit was your favorite? Tough, it's between Cedar Point and Tripsdrill. Coastermania was such a fun event and I met sooo many great enthusiasts, but I think I gotta say Tripsdrill since I entered that park with absolutely no expectation at all, and was completely blown away by how flawless it is. 4. Your favorite 2018 park addition (ride, food, show, etc)? I don't want to be basic and say Steel Vengeance, but I don't really pay attention to which food and shows are new at each park. 5. What ride exceeded your expectations the most in 2018? Nemesis, Steel Vengeance and Expedition GeForce for sheer amazingness and living up to the hype, but Boss with new track was completely mental. That ride now has 10 moments of ejector airtime in the back car, and I don't recall it running smoother ever. 6. Best meal/food at a park in 2018? Woodcutters at Alton Towers had great food. Also getting to pay my final respects to the tacos at Indiana Beach was good too. 7. What was your favorite new coaster of 2018 NOT made by RMC or Larson? Expedition GeForce, and it's my #1 overall. If you're talking about new meaning opened in 2018, um... I didn't ride any others because Wicker Man was down all day for me. 8. Name one park you will definitely visit in 2019. SILVER DOLLAR CITY!! For the first time too! 9. Best ride themed to a bird? Raptor at Cedar Point 10. Lamest ride/coaster you rode in 2018? That one tiny Dragon Wagon in Bloomington, but in terms of disappointment, Oblivion at Alton Towers did absolutely nothing for me. 11. What roller coaster currently sits at the top of your bucketlist? (degree of difficulty: NOT a new-for-2019 ride) Easy! El Toro! (Eejanaika for steel) 12. What new-for-2019 ride or coaster are you most looking forward to? Maxx Force! I've been waiting for a full-circuit launch coaster at my home park for years, and the facts that it'll have a single rider line will increase the number of laps I take on it, and the acceleration will be bonkers. 13. Name the first totally middle-of-the-road (not bad/not great) park that comes to mind. Wild Waves up in Seattle 14. You're in Orlando and magically have a 1-hour ERT session on 1 coaster of your choice at any park in the city. You choose... Expedition Everest 15. Holiday In The Park vs. Winterfest. Who reigns supreme? Holiday In The Park for running more than 3-4 coasters at each park during the season. 16. Mystic Timbers mystery shed or Wicker Man fire infusion? Mystic Timbers, because it's actually open. 17. Which Six Flags have you been to most recently? Great America, my home park. 18. Intamin or Schwarzkopf? You may only choose one. Intamin, unless it's a ZacSpin and located in California or a kiddie coaster. 19. Battle of Kings Coasters: Island or Dominion? Pick one. Dominion I guess for the Intamin and RMC even though I've only been to Island. 20. What was the longest you waited for a ride/coaster in 2018? 1.5 hours for Steel Vengeance 21. What roller coaster have you ridden more than any other? American Eagle (it my first big coaster too!) 22. Best drop tower under 150 feet? The one at Santa's Village in Dundee. That drop surprises me every single time. 23. Maverick or Millennium Force? (If you haven't been to CP, pick what you want to ride more) Millennium Force, in terms of the ride itself and just sheer laugh-your-ass-off fun. 24. Log flumes or sky rides? You can only choose one. Sky rides. I love taking photos! 25. What are 3 things you enjoying doing at your home park other than riding rides? Photography/filming, eating at JB's Smokehouse, soaking riders on Buccaneer Battle and Roaring Rapids. 26. What is your second favorite Cedar Fair park and why? Kings Island but I've only been there and Cedar Point. 27. What is your home park and give us two good reasons why we should pay it a visit. Six Flags Great America - We have an RMC plus lots of other great coasters including a record-breaking launch coaster for 2019, and for TPR especially, the operations have gone uphill since 2014-2015. 28. Launch or Lift? Lift, just for the fun of drops. 29. Did you buy fast pass at all in 2018? At Alton Towers, and it was a lifesaver. 30. What is your least favorite wooden coaster? Georgia Cyclone overall, Hoosier Hurricane for currently operating. 31. Disney fanboys: cool or cult? Some are cool, some are cult I guess. 32. Best Batman themed ride? Are there any others besides the coasters at Six Flags parks? 33. Name something that tend to take home from parks that you didn't bring with you. New memories and opinions. 34. Best wooden coaster over 110 feet tall? (rcdb will help you) Lightning Rod 35. Have you ever been hit with something (loose change/a tree/vomit/etc) while riding something? I got a bunch of nettles on my leg on Galactica. Even the ride ops were confused why I came off with new red marks! 36. Skywarps: credits or no? State your case. I guess so but just because I'm a whore. 37. Turkey legs: nah or yaaaaassssss? yaaaaassssss 38. What is the most recent B&M that you rode? Superman - Ultimate Flight at HITP. 39. You can eat nothing but corn dogs, churros or funnel cake for the next 48 hours, which do you choose? Churros, easily! 40. Post a great on-ride shot of you from 2018. (DO IT!) The funniest ones...

thrillseeker4552 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 1. Name 3 of your favorite roller coasters, but not your top 3. GhostRider, Nitro, Millennium Force. 2. About how many different parks did you visit in 2018? I visited 8 different parks. 3. Which 2018 park visit was your favorite? I had an excellent first visit to CGA. Great weather, rode all the rides I wanted multiple times, short lines, good food, fun time with family. Couldn't have gone better really! 4. Your favorite 2018 park addition (ride, food, show, etc)? That I've experienced, Railblazer! Otherwise the answer would of course be Steel Vengeance. 5. What ride exceeded your expectations the most in 2018? Superman at SFDK. I prefer it to Full Throttle, and it's amazing how much better (and faster) the coaster is with two-car trains and no dumb comfort collars. Rode it more than any other coaster in the park. 6. Best meal/food at a park in 2018? California's Great America and Seaworld San Diego both have great food. I don't think I can pick out a certain meal. 7. What was your favorite new coaster of 2018 NOT made by RMC or Larson? HangTime! 8. Name one park you will definitely visit in 2019. Lagoon. 9. Best ride themed to a bird? Tatsu is themed to a bird, right? 10. Lamest ride/coaster you rode in 2018? Grizzly at CGA. It's really not too rough, just SO boring and with painfully slow operations. 11. What roller coaster currently sits at the top of your bucketlist? (degree of difficulty: NOT a new-for-2019 ride) I have many, but probably Eejanaika or Dinoconda since I LOVE X2 and apparently those are even better and more insane. 12. What new-for-2019 ride or coaster are you most looking forward to? Overall, Steel Curtain. But the only new-for-2019 coaster I am certain I'll be riding is West Coast Racers. 13. Name the first totally middle-of-the-road (not bad/not great) park that comes to mind. Definitely Dorney Park. 14. You're in Orlando and magically have a 1-hour ERT session on 1 coaster of your choice at any park in the city. You choose... Mako! 15. Holiday In The Park vs. Winterfest. Who reigns supreme? Holiday in the Park, for sure. 16. Mystic Timbers mystery shed or Wicker Man fire infusion? Wicker Man fire! 17. Which Six Flags have you been to most recently? Magic Mountain on December 26th. 18. Intamin or Schwarzkopf? You may only choose one. As much as I love Schwarzkopf, I have to say Intamin. 19. Battle of Kings Coasters: Island or Dominion? Pick one. Kings Dominion. I love both parks but KD has better coasters and more "atmosphere" IMO. 20. What was the longest you waited for a ride/coaster in 2018? My sister and I waited exactly 2 hours for HangTime during Knott's Scary Farm. 21. What roller coaster have you ridden more than any other? Either Montezooma's Revenge or Silver Bullet. Something at Knott's for sure. 22. Best drop tower under 150 feet? Any S&S Double Shot. 23. Maverick or Millennium Force? (If you haven't been to CP, pick what you want to ride more) Maverick, no question. 24. Log flumes or sky rides? You can only choose one. Log flumes. 25. What are 3 things you enjoying doing at your home park other than riding rides? Eating (of course), spending time with friends/family, people-watching. 26. What is your second favorite Cedar Fair park and why? Kings Dominion. Like I said earlier, a solid coaster lineup, very green (which is impressive to me as someone from the West Coast lol), good flat rides, nice atmosphere. I went in 2017 so I imagine it's even better now with TT. 27. What is your home park and give us two good reasons why we should pay it a visit. My "true" home park is Knott's. It has great charm (that has been restored immensely in the last 7 years under new CF management), a solid top 5 coaster line-up, not too big so it's easy to navigate and you don't get too tired, an excellent one-of-a-kind log flume and dark/train ride, and well-themed in some areas. It has a different feel than many other Cedar Fair parks due to its history. My "secondary" home park is Lagoon while I'm at college in Utah. It actually draws many similarities to Knott's: nice charm in areas, an "above average" coaster line-up (especially with our two wonderful Schwarzkopfs), of course Cannibal, good location and easy public transportation from SLC airport. Many museums and interesting pieces of history in Pioneer Village, two very old-school dark rides, many vintage flat rides, lots of shade and water attractions in the summertime. I would compare it to a slightly more modern version of Knoebels. 28. Launch or Lift? I love powerful launches, but my top 5 coasters all have lift hills, so I'm conflicted. 29. Did you buy fast pass at all in 2018? Nope. 30. What is your least favorite wooden coaster? Most boring: Grizzly at CGA. Roughest: probably Wildcat at Hersheypark. 31. Disney fanboys: cool or cult? I don't really have strong opinions about Disney in general, so no comment. 32. Best Batman themed ride? Well, the B&M Inverts, of course. 33. Name something that tend to take home from parks that you didn't bring with you. I really can't think of anything. I pretty much never buy merchandise, nor do I ever bring home a "sickness" or something like that. Hmmmm. 34. Best wooden coaster over 110 feet tall? (rcdb will help you) El Toro, duh. 35. Have you ever been hit with something (loose change/a tree/vomit/etc) while riding something? I caught my brother's hat (who sat a few seats in front of me) on Jaguar at Knott's. I also came VERY close to getting hit by a phone on El Toro back in 2016. And of course bugs on many coasters at Cedar Point. 36. Skywarps: credits or no? State your case.

robbalvey Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm going to do this off the top of my head without looking anything up or really putting any thought into it so I can't promise that any of these answers are going to be accurate... 1. Name 3 of your favorite roller coasters, but not your top 3. Space Mountain Big Thunder Mountain Montezooma's Revenge 2. About how many different parks did you visit in 2018? Oh, geeez, probably somewhere between 35 - 50. 3. Which 2018 park visit was your favorite? Tokyo DisneySEA 4. Your favorite 2018 park addition (ride, food, show, etc)? Kara Lindsey and Kevin Massey singing Broadway tunes at Epcot. 5. What ride exceeded your expectations the most in 2018? The Cyclone RMC at SFOG. (I honestly cannot remember if it was called Twisted Cyclone, Wicked Cyclone, or Cyclone Timbers at this point!) lol 6. Best meal/food at a park in 2018? Pretty much anything I ate at Epcot's Flower & Garden, Food & Wine, or Festival of the Holidays. Oh, and the Peanut Butter shake at Knoebels. 7. What was your favorite new coaster of 2018 NOT made by RMC or Larson? Time Traveler or Hangtime. 8. Name one park you will definitely visit in 2019. Tokyo Disneyland 9. Best ride themed to a bird? Eagle Fortress 10. Lamest ride/coaster you rode in 2018? Oh, geez, I have no idea... your mom? 11. What roller coaster currently sits at the top of your bucketlist? (degree of difficulty: NOT a new-for-2019 ride) I honestly cannot think of anything I want to ride that I have not ridden. 12. What new-for-2019 ride or coaster are you most looking forward to? Hong Kong Disneyland's new castle. (Does that count? Does it matter?) 13. Name the first totally middle-of-the-road (not bad/not great) park that comes to mind. Valleyfair. 14. You're in Orlando and magically have a 1-hour ERT session on 1 coaster of your choice at any park in the city. You choose... Space Mountain. Not only because I love it, but also if I have an hour of ERT that means an hour of making random silly onride photos! Example: 15. Holiday In The Park vs. Winterfest. Who reigns supreme? I've never been to either. 16. Mystic Timbers mystery shed or Wicker Man fire infusion? I will go with Mystic since I have yet to experience the Wicker. 17. Which Six Flags have you been to most recently? Oh, geez... That's a good question... I guess Magic Mountain? 18. Intamin or Schwarzkopf? You may only choose one. Intamin. Duh. Schwarzkopf is dead. 19. Battle of Kings Coasters: Island or Dominion? Pick one. Dominion. 20. What was the longest you waited for a ride/coaster in 2018? I don't wait in lines. So I guess maybe 10 minutes? Actually, that's not true. There were a couple of times I waited 25-40 minutes for Flight of Passage but even that was rare. 21. What roller coaster have you ridden more than any other? Space Mountain - Magic Kingdom 22. Best drop tower under 150 feet? I'm not nerdy enough to measure them. 23. Maverick or Millennium Force? (If you haven't been to CP, pick what you want to ride more) Maverick 24. Log flumes or sky rides? You can only choose one. Log Flumes if I can sing, Sky Rides if I can drop tomatoes on animals below me. (And yes, we have done both, and yes, both things were perfectly acceptable by the park!) 25. What are 3 things you enjoying doing at your home park other than riding rides? Sitting in the grass. Drinking coffee. Sitting in the other grass. 26. What is your second favorite Cedar Fair park and why? Cedar Point. Knott's will always be my favorite! 27. What is your home park and give us two good reasons why we should pay it a visit. Magic Kingdom. You shouldn't. I like to have the park all to myself, thank you very much! 28. Launch or Lift? I don't have a preference. 29. Did you buy fast pass at all in 2018? Yes, like at every single park that offered them! 30. What is your least favorite wooden coaster? Son of Beast. And I do not miss it. Anyone who says they do needs euthanizing. 31. Disney fanboys: cool or cult? Neither. Most of the die-hard ones are just annoying. But then again I feel the same way about roller coaster fanboys, too! 32. Best Batman themed ride? Batman. 33. Name something that tend to take home from parks that you didn't bring with you. A new dress for ShellieMay. 34. Best wooden coaster over 110 feet tall? (rcdb will help you) Coaster Express... JUST KIDDING! I'd have to give it to either El Toro, T Express, or Wildfire, but I honestly cannot choose. 35. Have you ever been hit with something (loose change/a tree/vomit/etc) while riding something? Only stupid comments usually spoken by someone around me. 36. Skywarps: credits or no? State your case. I don't even know what this is. 37. Turkey legs: nah or yaaaaassssss? Eh... No... I mean, I don't hate them, but I just don't eat them either. 38. What is the most recent B&M that you rode? It was probably Kumba, Montu, SheiKra, Hulk, Kraken, Mako, or Manta. But I have no idea which one it was! 39. You can eat nothing but corn dogs, churros or funnel cake for the next 48 hours, which do you choose? Churros from Tokyo DisneySEA please! 40. Post a great on-ride shot of you from 2018. (DO IT!) I'll just use this because I didn't have to do any work to find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
