coasterboi Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 X-Scream And Inssanity Look like the most awsome flat rides ever and i am well into insane flat rides as anyone going to thorpe park on the england trip next year will find out very quickly
GAcoaster Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 What's up with the angry red nostril!?! :shock: The wings go in your mouth, not up your nose!
CoasterCrazy88 Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Great pics guys! I'm really glad you are all having such a good time! X-Scream looks okay, but Insanity, OMG that thing looks crazy! :shock: I would love to ride it. Antonio"Looking forward to the next update"G. P.S. Happy Thanksgiving!
pianojohn Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Have a great time! And I am with Elissa....NO money in the world could get me to ride those two new rides. I did do the coaster and Space Shot a few years back at night. The view is amazing, but it is also FREAKY being so high off the ground. Good luck with Manhattan Express. I would not ride that thing ever again for 1000 credits! It sucks sucks sucks! But I know you know that!!
Kroger8 Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 What's up with the angry red nostril!?! :shock: The wings go in your mouth, not up your nose! OMG that scared me too!!!!! Awesome Stratosphere rides are something I would like to do!!!
Chris Benvenuto Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Well, When I went to Vegas in September, Manhatten Express, really wasn't all that bad, I had a smooth ride in the middle of the train. and Canyon Blaster has a great moment of airtime after the Corkscrews.
TwistedTrack Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 "You like that side boob, how bout this side boob, uh huh, how bout this one, you shouldnt like this side boob... because its my side boob!" -Peter Griffin ^^^ one of the funniest!!! Vegas was where I rode my first real coaster that wasnt a Dragon Wagon type thing. If you find the Thunder Bolt ride it! It was my first coaster, i believe it is at some hotel, you can see it from the road. cant wait for more. you gotta ride the Thunder Bolt!!!!!!!!!! It would make my day! LOL
haiderodes Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 i didn't know the gang was coming to vegas! hope you have fun while you are here! looks like you already have
robbalvey Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 Well, When I went to Vegas in September, Manhatten Express, really wasn't all that bad, I had a smooth ride in the middle of the train. See, I keep hearing about these "smooth rides" people keep getting on Manhattan Express. I'm just not buying it! In fact, if some one could show some proof of these smooth rides, I'd LOVE to see it! But what I CAN show you is proof of how rough the ride is. Here is a small clip from the video we took just a couple hours ago. I apologize for the crappy quality, I didn't have my firewire cable with me, so I had to grab the footage via USB, which sucks. But anyway, enjoy this short Manhattan Express clip..... manhattan.wmv Manhattan Express - Smooth? NO!!!!
Chrissie Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 :shock: Yeah... That was real smooth.... :?
coaster_type_of_person Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 OMG! When i rode it i was in the back of the train and i swear the only rough part was after the first drop :shock:
Erik Johnson Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 You paid how much to ride that piece of crap?
robbalvey Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 Almost done with more Vegas Photos....
robbalvey Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 Ok, so here are our photos from today (so far!) For $7.50 you can get a "Taster" of a bunch of different Coke products from around the world. Gone are the "cokes of the world" tasting stations, but there is a counter where you can buy coke products. We went to go check out the old "World of Coke" to see what is left. Here is the entrance to the old museum....blocked by a GIANT coke bottle! "Hey, baby, how much?" "I can decide which Las Vegas trashy chick I want...the blonde or the brunette?" Damn, too bad the woodie isn't open today. Ahhh...isn't it purdy? It's just like we're back in Europe! "Hey, baby....wanna try out my correct weight?" *wink* *wink* "And the correct weight for Robb would be....." It's like Willy Wonka came to life and exploded in Vegas! Derek SUCKS DOWN that banana with some ice cream topping! Yum! UGGGHHHH!!!! Eggs are NOT "Elissa Friendly Food!" "Let's give this scrambled chicken sex a try!" "Hmm....they kind of smell like liquid chicken." At the breakfast buffet, Elissa decided to "try a new food" and this time around it's scrambled eggs. Let's see how she does.... For the ACEr in all of us, the day started out at.....THE BUFFET!!!! OPEN THE FLOOD GATES!!! And YES!!! Berverly IS included! So technically, you CAN still get Beverly in Vegas, but you now have to pay $7.50 for it!
robbalvey Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 And a few more photos. We're heading out for our nice Thanksgiving dinner at Lupo's in Madalay Bay in a little while, so we'll have another update later tonight! But this is what your typical rider looks like after it's all done! It just looks so pretty, so innocent.... I don't care what anyone else says, this REALLY IS one of the roughest coasters in the world! Ahh, the time has come for THE credit of the trip! Manhattan Express! And this is why Robb likes staying at Monte Carlo!! Reason #2 why Elissa likes staying at Monte Carlo. Reason #1 why Elissa likes staying at Monte Carlo. manhattan.wmv And just in case you missed it in the other thread. Here is the video of how *cough* smooth *cough* the ride is!
Stitch Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Let's give this scrambled chicken sex a try! That is one of the strangest quotes I think I have ever seen here
jackskellington101 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Derek: "Yay, vertical loop...oh God!" Whole train: "Weeee...AOWW!" NOTHING is better than that. Submit that to the Oscars now.
coaster_type_of_person Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 That was funny how the whole trains said "wheeeeee...owwwww" lmao
CaseyFish Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Hey Robb, Congrats on the $514......that is awesome....I live in reno, and I work for IGT....we make slot machines...actually every casino you go to the floor is 80% of our machines....you want some tips...you let me know....lol
Nrthwnd Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 So, um - where's the chocolate fountain pic??? (Licks lipsss) (j/k)
mboy81 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 I LOVE Las Vegas. Thanks for the awesome pictures! I can't wait to go back again hopefully soon!
Noobitizer Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Wow, I actually just got back from Vegas, I was there with family from Sunday to Wednesday. I got to ride the Manhattan Express, hella rough and the mid course slowed us almost to a stop. On Monday I got to hit the Stratosphere, I took the Deuce (the bus system) from our hotel the Aladdin. And Tuesday I spent the day at the adventure dome with my cousins. Not bad, we used coupons that got us unlimited rides for 18 dollars. Slingshot was not to bad, my first chance slingshot. It was just a short program, up then down. Canyon Blaster seemed a lot more intense and was smother in the very back then in the front. Hope you guys are having a good time out there, I know I did. -Charles ADMIT EDIT: Fixed spelling and grammar mistakes. You can get a FREE spell checker with the Google Toolbar
