A.J. Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I don't understand people who go to theme parks and ride everything except for the star attraction. "Star attraction" is a relative term. My "star attraction" at Hersheypark is Lightning Racer Thunder side, but my teenage sister's "star attraction" at Hersheypark is the East Coast Waterworks.

australianalex Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100626162632AA2El8X WTF at the question and the "best answer". Question: How bad is the negative g-force at six flags? The WTF part of the Best Answer: Well, it says an example of negative G-Force is an inverted roller coaster. This means that the roller coaster track is overhead of the roller coaster train. A ride at a lot of Six Flags parks is Batman the Ride which is inverted. Other inverted rides at Six Flags parks are Mind Eraser at Six Flags America and Six Flags New England, Kong at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. *FACEPALM* Hey have you guys felt that airtime on Batman the Ride? Intense man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The49er Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 From "Hidden Disneyland and Beyond" by Lisa Oppenheimer about the Knott's Boomerang - Especially GP sayings are in bold. This is the ride you've heard about. As you wait in line, the freight train sound can start the adrenaline rushing. When you step into the four-person car and settle under the padded, horseshoe-shaped restraint, you know you're in for a ride to remember...With a lurch, the chain of cars begins to inch to the top of a tower that seems to go nowhere except into space. For a second the car pauses at the top, and then the shrieking begins. You're launched on a terrifying drop from an 11-story height through three loops that not only flip you upside-down but twist at the same time. The cars slow as momentum carries you up a second tower. Is the ride over? Not a chance. Boomerang does it to you again, somersaulting through the same three loops before jolting you to a halt. This UNUSUAL, European-designed roller coaster, which lasts only 33 seconds, gives terror a new twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) I don't understand people who go to theme parks and ride everything except for the star attraction. "Star attraction" is a relative term. My "star attraction" at Hersheypark is Lightning Racer Thunder side, but my teenage sister's "star attraction" at Hersheypark is the East Coast Waterworks. I more mean the star attraction not being what your favorite ride is, but what is the tallest, fastest, most popular ride in the park that the GP always run to first like: Storm Runner - Hersheypark (soon to be Skyrush) Top Thrill Dragster - Cedar Point X2 - SFMM Kingda Ka - SFGAdv Intimidator - Carowinds Medusa - SFDK Edited December 19, 2011 by XYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom_feeder_13 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 ^The only thing is that at SFMM even the GP immediately rush to X2, the line for S:EFK isn't that huge at first, it's sort of a second tier ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've heard a bunch of things from people, but I can only remember 3 right now. At Wild Waves, either last year or in 2009, I was waiting in line for the Ring of Fire with a kid who claimed that it had split in half. He said that the state had tried to shut down the park but that Wild Waves had fixed the ride and promised that it would not have any issues after that. Obviously, I've never heard of any accidents like that on RoFs and I think he was just trying to scare me into not riding or something. (Although I was reluctant to ride before that because I hate RoFs. ) In 2008, when I visited Silverwood for the first time, I was talking with a lady in line for Timber Terror about how I thought it could use a second train. She said something about how how it was impossible to do so because it'd be unsafe. I wonder if she's ever ridden California Screamin'. Finally (but I'm not completely sure if this counts as 'GP'), I was talking about Leviathan at Canada's Wonderland at school before my Italian class started, and a kid from Canada said that he had heard of it and it was supposedly based on a ride that was successful at many other theme parks in Canada. Obviously, he had no idea that it was the VERY FIRST B&M Giga-Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305KD Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 When I went to Great Adventure in June for my friend's birthday, we were on line for Kingda Ka, and some guy was watching the launch and said "Wow! 0 to 60!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 From Yahoo Answers: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080703183049AANuVTX I don't ride [coasters]. Look at the guy operating them - high school dropout who hasn't bathed in days or shaved in weeks, who gets drunk every night on Busch Lite. Look at the people who repair them - not much better. You risk your life on those things. People die every year on those things. Do you want your obit to say that you were thrown from a roller coaster? That whatever your purpose in life is, you threw it away for a three minute thrill ride? And who knows what kind of brain damage the shaking and speed can do - if you can't shake a baby, if a soccer ball off the head can cause a concussion, then don't you think that maybe, just maybe, the haunted elevator ride could possibly knock a few brain cells loose?
