Vffreak07 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'm a VF fanboy and when I show people pics of Wicked Twister and the other Intamin Impulses they're all "ZOMG IT'S STEEL VENOMMMM!" And I'm like "No. . . it's Wicked Twister" And they're like "No-See? It has the same twist!" And I'm like" " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pufferfish Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 A friend of mine said this while eating at Moe's one night: Â "Did you know, there's a coaster underneath the Hurler at Carowinds." Â Of course, my coaster geek side came out and I had to argue with him, I said "No there isn't. There's not enough space underneath it for one anyways." Â His response was, "It's a secret coaster that only cool people know about, it's underground." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I've had GP tell me (while queuing for Stealth at Thorpe) that it reaches 6 or 7 G's... Â *thinking* oh yeah? what about Kingda Ka and TTD? What do they pull? 15? Maybe 20 G's? Â 7 G's is enough to kill some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 ^No, it isn't. Fighter pilots can withstand over that amount without blacking out. Most normal people would black out, though, if a ride were held at a constant 7 g's for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also depends on the body of a person. I'm not quite sure what the physics behind it are, but you'll always find someone who'll black out at a higher force than someone else.

Manny In England Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Wikipeia says someone took 179G and survived, probably only for a split second. It's on the G-Force article if you want to check it. Â Anyway a member of the general public, a young girl about 11 or 12 years actually asked the question to her mother "Why is it called the Corkscrew?" Maybe if she bothered to look at the coaster that stood before her she'd find out however she obviously didn't possess that level of intelligence.

Hobbesx2 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 No, I meant the endless drop. I didn't know it had been mentioned here before. Â Norwegian loops are pretty cool, though. It looks like they took a pretzel loop and sit- downafied it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Heretic Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 A kid in line for Avalanche at Pleasure Beach Blackpool... Â "I thought the Irn bru was going to be long like the Pepsi Max when I first sat in it, but it turned out to be really short. good though." Â How could you not see how short it was? And this kid, was about 17 or 18. So no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Here's a few, heard yesterday at Great America... Â This one made my ride on Demon that much better: "Here we go through the loop-de-loops! Ahh! Here's the corkscrews! We're gonna dieee! Ahhh" (Little kids....gotta love 'em) Â Random GP also on Demon as the restraint was closed when she got there. "How do I get in this seat? (The restraint was down because no one rode prior to her ride) Â In line for Survivor, Random GP: "Does this go upside down?" Reply from another GP was "Well, you come very close to going upside down!" Â Lastly, some random GP Rapper people with fake golden grills were laughing at me on Invertigo because I was sitting calm throughout the ride. They asked me if I was going to ride again but I just left. (I almost thought I was going to have to accidentally drop my gum out on them during the ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Now I know the GP doesn't care about coasters, but come on: Â With V2 behind them, a teenage girl with her friend points at B:TR-"There's V2" Â Â The V2 sign(well the whole ride too) was right behind the too.

PURE Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 ^ do you happen to mean a norwegian loop? If i read what you explained correctly then it already exists. Â Woah this is like 2 weeks old but yes! That's exactly what I was talking about. You pictured it perfectly. However, I was mentioning how it'd be sweet if B&M did it with their invert. Â I had never seen that element before and was drawing it, and then I looked right now and the picture you left is exactly it. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGAFan4 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 ^You're all wrong, it's 128 mph. Â I remember a pretty good one in line for Rolling Thunder: Â Person 1: El Toro looks awesome. Person 2: Yeah, but it can't be better than that Coney Island Comet. Person 1: Yeah, the Comet was awesome yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primogen18 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 This one is fresh from my trip to SFNE (just got in today) Â (by a man while standing in line for Mind Eraser facing/watching the ride from the entrance to the station, turns around and spots Superman) "Wow!

JamesMC Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Heard this in line the other day at SFGAM in line for "Superman". "No, they take this ride down every winter so it doesn't get any snow on the tracks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Gumball Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 In line for Psycho Mouse on my final end of season visit at CGA, we're having our usual good times in the queue and I faintly overhear a GP say something involving loops...I'm guessing that maybe they were saying that Psycho Mouse has loops....seems like a typical GP thing to say.

mcjaco Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 While at FrightFest at SFGAm, the girl in front of me in the Eagle queue, announced, "when they tear this thing down, they'll put up something totally kick ass." Â Um, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
