Well I was at Movieworld's White Christmas last night and while in line for Green Lantern a girl in line just ahead stated that this ride doesn't go upside down just a train as z train tipped over to upside down. She kept insisting all while watching the trains turn over.

Some GP doesn't seem to connect the sight of a train going upside down to the actual idea of upside down. I have had the experience of showing POVs to people where you could clearly see there were plenty of inversions (and I'm not talking about fast corkscrews like on B&M inverts, I mean massive loops where you go inverted for quite a while) and only after a serious amount of time would they ask: does this coaster go upside down?

Oh, by the way, yesterday my mom showed my a picture someone had posted on facebook which said: accident on a roller coaster in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is the picture:

Seriously?

I had no idea that Alpengeist had been relocated to Brazil.

Really? How did you miss such relocation taking place near your home?

 

I remembered this a few hours ago. During Christmas Eve dinner a distant relative of mine (who had an idea that I had recently travelled to the us to ride coasters) said this: "You know, the other day I watched a TV programme about roller coasters and they showed some in the US so they must have been the ones you went to. STOP! First error! I didn't say anything because I didn't want to be rude but I was thinking: Well, given that I've been to 4 different parks in the us, if they show a coaster from America on TV, there is no doubt that I have ridden it! He then carried on talking until his wife said: "Oh, you're making a mess, those weren't roller coasters: it was a water park" and he replied: "Oh, yeah, right..." No comments. I just learned to be immune to the GP. (in this case I think it's even beyond what we know as GP)

I heard some idiot say that Carowinds should have gotten I-305 but got I-232 because it was too close to the airport. If that is the case, why is the park building a new giga for 2015? Some people.....

They were obviously thinking of the new theme park being built on the border of Georgia and South Carolina, Six Flags Over Carowinds.

Apparently it did have 9 cars..,

There's the answer to the so much debated question!

Now, seriously, I don't know what happened but I just keep seeing this posted over and over gain by several people I know. I remember seeing that picture a while ago so why did someone remember this now? As if such an accident wouldn't be all over the news, given that even when Rip ride Rockit got stuck I heard about it in the portuguese news. So an accident probably involving 4 deaths wouldn't be reported at all, right... But maybe this logic would be too tricky to follow.

On the TPR Intimidator 305 video (first comment I saw), it's not the GP, but I laughed when I read it. "As a real coaster enthusiast, I am saying that this ride is a terrible and lesser coaster. And as I'm still a real coaster enthusiast, if anybody is planning to ride this mess, ride Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain instead because it's not a lesser coaster and it is in a park that is not dirty."

That guy is a rather prominent SFMM fanboy troll. I doubt he's really like that.

I certainly hope so, that makes much more sense.

You mean IntelligentSFMMFanboy? He is only on YouTube to attract attention. I suggest no one to feed him or his other account tfrozes77 (I have seen many TPR members feed both of his accounts).

My orchestra teacher was discussing our WOF trip and she said that the new ride is Verruckt. Then she went to the website to show us and realized the "new" ride was really SteelHawk.

A comment on a sooperdooper looper video: "Oh my god. That ride Is dangerous. On the loop, the magnet messes with your head and pulls it into the seat", seriously, what does that even mean!?

And these people who just moved into my neighborhood came from florida, so they've been to all the floradian parks. i'm friends with one of their kids and he always has something gp to say, first he thought rip ride rockit was called "the hollywood rocket", then he was saying how he almost fell out and whenever i tried to tell him that it was a different type of restraint that made it feel like that he was like "omg no adfsgwjdk i almost fell out", and his little sister said "we're going to six flags this summer, they have a roller coaster where it jumps off the track!" . . . no words

^^So do mine. It's funny how, in the middle of that mess of comments, you spot someone making fun of them and quite a few of those are posters here. Still, it's no use trying to raise the level of youtube comments.

^What???

I also remember seeing this on goliath's animated POV by TRP:

Pros - looks absolutely awesome.

Cons - yet another bloody coaster called Goliath...

Answer:

and its wood, bumpy v.v

Of course it will be...

lmao just today at school alot of kids were talking about kennywood (because we're having a field trip there in may), i'll show you some of the gems i heard:

 

kid 1: (most likely talking about phantom or sky rocket) "it has a loop *does looping finger gesture while saying loop* in it

kid 2: no it doesn't

kid 1: well that's stupid

kid 2: but it goes straight up

 

at first i had a little hope for kid 2, but that was completely obliterated when he said "but it goes straight up"

 

i heard the phantom is haunted by an actual phantom!

 

because that's actually possible

 

and also once i was talking to my uncle about rides and i said idlewild needed a pirate ship ride, then he said "wait really? i figured it would have one since it's a water park!"

there's at least 2 things wrong with that statement:

1. idlewild isn't a waterpark!

2. why would a water park have a pirate ship ride or let alone any non-water ride at all?
