s2pids2 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 when riding DD, make sure you have your walking shoes on because it really is like a good 5 minute walk to the actual loading zone of the ride. Amazing themeing, the best I have seen in any park or attraction, but I could not imagine having to wait throughg the entire queue! Also, it's obviously way more fun when both sides are running simultaneously...so it's worth a bit of a wait if one side is down. (always the fire side!) Try and do it in the morning, as everyone usually runs to the hulk first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imhotep Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I dream of riding X, thats probably my number 1. Plus Ive never been to Cali, so that would give me an excuse to go . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I really want to ride Atlantis Adventure at Lotte World, but I don't see that happenning any time soon. I read the storyline a while back and the ride seemed amazing. In the more realistic future I really want to ride Both of the new Goliaths, although I doubt LaRonde will happen this year.

waterviper Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I wasn't really impressed with the Beast. It felt to me like each part was stretched out just to make the ride longer. The ride did not have much airtime. Because it wasn't designed for airtime!! It is mostly a terrain coaster designed for that lost in the woods feeling, especially at night! I would pretty much say any coaster that I haven't ridden yet!! I am eager to ride anything and everything that is new to me coaster wise!!

Xtreeme79 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yeah I must say...when I was in about 3rd or 4th grade I was reading the Guiness Book of World Records and I saw Beast and I thought that was the coolest thing ever! Then when I was on my way to college in Ohio I begged my parents to stop at PKI and finally got to ride it. Yeah I guess its overrated but when you have waited as long as I did to finally get to ride it... I thought it was awesome and well worth the begging. You won't be disappointed. It was a lot of fun. The double helix at the end kicked BUTT! As of now I would really like to ride Sheikra and all the Florida ones. I just need to get my butt down there... good luck! --Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimace Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 i've always wanted to ride Lochness, Beast and Son of Beast. I haven't ridden either Beast, but Lochness Monster was a true hidden gem. I was expecting it to be fun, but nowhere near as fun as it turned out to be. Unfortunatly, the surprise that Lochness gave me was balanced out by the dissapointment of Alpengeist.

martinb Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I do think that there is a hidden treasure in England that not many of you Americans may know about! Well i would call it a Wodden coaster, but as it just rests on the track and doesnt have anything holding it on the track you lost seem to call the Side Friction coasters, which baffles me!! Any way its located at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, and unfortunetly the nearest major theme park is Thorpe park/Chessington which are about 130 miles away! The reason i thinks its a hidden treasure is because of its speed (bearing in mind you just rest on the track), its main feature is the 2nd drop which is aprox 70ft & the fastest it goes is 45mph!and the 3rd & 4th drops are made in airtime heaven(even the train gets air time!) If you sit at the front you will feel the train lift off the track completely as you go over the bunny hops and slams back down on the track with a great big thud!! Also features a major head chopper on the 2nd drop (you can see the bits of wood to the right of the picture)I love extreme rollercoasters but this one scares me everytime! If you've never been on it, i think when you next visit england you should go out of your way to go on it, it ill be worth it!! Back seat has EXTREME airtime on every hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
