    PortAventura opens its 2012 season

    Could be worse, it could be advertising Stride gum or that Got to be Glued stuff that they put on Viper and El Toro.

    Ocean Kingdom | Flying Over The Rainforest | B&M WingCoaster

    Re: 2013 B&M Wingrider? My personal theory is that it's for Everland's new coaster, which may well be opening late this year as opposed to next year since it seems Asian parks are less predictable with their opening dates for new attractions.

    Canada's Wonderland |"Leviathan"| B&M HyperGiga

    I haven't ridden Behemoth yet, but I will be this summer, but I personally found Intimidator to give an incredibly varied ride as dependent on the weather. Cold seems to cause the trims to slip and give and amazing ride while hot just makes the ride boring and forceless.

    Most important coaster attribute

    On a steel coaster, smoothness is key, on a woodie it's all about the airtime and lats.

    Your shower temperature

    Ice cold if it's in the morning, really just refreshing and wakes you up fast, or if it's hot out or I just finished exercising and medium warm if it's in the evening or I have to go somewhere and wear something relatively nice.

    Take the personality test!

    Not a half bad test, got my personality just about right. Competent You strive to master everything you undertake. You tend to learn quickly and do not shy away from challenges. You are not a "que sera sera" type of person, nor do you go easy on yourself when attempting to master a new skill...

    Sea World San Diego |"Manta"| Mack Launched

    This transition is just pure sexyness and should provide some of the only airtime ever to grace California.

    Europa Park |"Wodan"| GCI Wood

    Yeah, I'd imagine that that tunnel is so that riders don't get pelted with water dripping of Atlantica.

    Hersheypark |"Skyrush"| Intamin Mega

    Nice looking trains but those lap bars could be really uncomfortable if there's strong airtime unless the padding for them arrived separate.

    Coasters that need a re-paint

    Xcelerator doesn't need new paint, it looks fine with the fresh supports and pink track, Scream on the other hand was a dire paint scheme to begin with but now every support is about 15 different colors.

    Dragon Khan VS Kraken

    The most likely cause of the huge difference between Khan's height and its drop is the the height might be the total height difference between the station and the top of the lift while the drop is the actual drop length measurement.

    Six Flags New England |"Goliath"| Vekoma Giant Inverted Boom

    Re: Six Flags New England |"Goliath"| Vekoma Giant Inverted All there is to say is that it looks like a boomerang conga line.

    Canada's Wonderland |"Leviathan"| B&M HyperGiga

    I really don't see what people have against B & M hypers, I may not be in a good position to argue for it as I've only ridden one, Intimidator. Yes some of the rides on it are just boring due to the excessive trimming but I've ridden it somewhere over 150 times and about 40 of those were simply...

    What sort of settlement do you live in?

    I live in an urban area with a population of somewhere around 175,000 so it's somewhere between a town and a city. For those wondering it's Santa Barbara, California.

    What should be my 100th roller coaster?

    ^ I could really imagine them doing this in the next couple of years if Hershey's new Gerst trains and renovation for Superduperlooper are successful.

    SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Tower

    Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe ^ There isn't any question about S:EFK being closed during consntruction, it actually closed on the just over a week ago so that they could start construction.

    What should be my 100th roller coaster?

    My opinion would be either Green Lantern, if you can get a group of three together, or X2 just for the insane experience they provide, although I love Goliath which seems never to get any love around here or anywhere else, the airtime hill is just blissful and the helix incredible, especially in...
