GigaG Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 My aunt once said that Disney World should get a ride like Top Thrill Dragster but theme it like the scene in "Up" where the house flies off the ground and goes over the city. I also heard someone at Cedar Point say that their next roller coaster is going to go underwater in Lake Erie for "over 5 minutes!" That first idea would be good for a Disney thrill ride. Only maybe downsized to 100-200 feet with an extended layout like Xcelerator, or even more small like Kanonen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Saw this on one of Robb's knockoff SLC POVs: Maybe you guys should stop riding all of these Chinese Knock Offs and go to America for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleRiderCam Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H83vVHpyR-w I know it's the person's opinion, but check this comment out by the creator of the video: It needs loops!!!! I am guessing that his home park is Magic Mountain. Plus, he also made this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiOBWch9hZs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willthegolfer Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 On a TPR photo of the new Goliath art, "This used to be called the Grizzly its a good thing they're changing it." Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Remember read about Cedar Point at a local newspaper. They said GateKeeper is the world's longest coaster with a 170ft drop and 7 inversions. I'm sorry, I would ignore it if it's something said by a GP but as public media, at least they should make things accurate! I don't consider a helix as an inversion.

Pyrozooka0 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 While we where on our way to Universal the other day, I was telling my mom about how HRRR got stuck recently, and that I was going to ride it anyway. Her response: "Well, when you are dangling upside down for an hour, it's your fault." I told her that HRRR doesn't even go upside down, and added that I was pretty sure it was stuck either on the lift or one of the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercoaster5 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 About to get in line for Goliath at SFMM and a woman says: "Oohh this one is just like Jurasic Park at Universal." She must be in for a wild unexpected ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsThisTheRealLife Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 On a video for Full Throttle: wow a looping coaster without shoulder harnesses thats kinda scary wonder how long before someone falls? Why do you think they would make it w/o OTSR's if someone might fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booink Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Screen Shot from a post on Buzz Feed about things 'Adrenaline Junkies Must do Before you Die' Hey, the two Green Lantern Photos are from my Flickr account ! Also, here's one very good GP guy who has no idea what he's talking about. It's about the Anaconda at the Granby Zoo, there was a problem and the chain stopped and the guy tough he would die I guess. Here's the translated video description : While the train was on the lift, the chain does an infernal sound, the sound is awful on my camera due to how loud it is. Between the video 1 and 2 (the video cuts at one place), the supervisor tells the ride op : "Start the ride again", but with the guests on it, putting them in extreme danger ! This was a dangerous test with humans on it ! The ride brakes and then thay have to stop the ride and evacuate the guests.(this is where it gets hilarious) The Canada criminal code says : 219. (1)is guilty of neglect whoever : (a)by doing something (b)by omitting of accomplishing something that's in his job to do, by beeing insouciant of the security of others or putting others in danger. In other words, this guy was almost ready to sue the zoo for unexistant neglect and putting peoples in danger for a chain lift that stopped. I also want to tell the chain is loud because that's how it's built. It's normal that it behaved like that. Once again, this guy has no idea what he's talking about !

gerstlaueringvar Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I just heard some "expert" said that roller coaster wheels are too small to handle the speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 "Cedar point has got some coasters that go 60...70... and sometimes 80 miles per hour." Little did he know, they have Top Thrill Dragster which goes 120 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projektion Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 ^ Hell, even MF goes faster than 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 ^^I like how the "sometimes" gives the idea that a coaster normally runs below 80 but, occasionally, decides to do 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
