Re: What is a ride that you wanted to ride but you could not Kiddie Coaster at Rye Playland, I probably wouldn't of have fit in those tiny ass trains anyways.

Re: How many defunct roller coasters has you ridden? I can name a few defunct manufacturers if that helps?

Knoebels: Even for being the ass backwards place that it is, there's no better of an investment for a day at any other park in the United States. Sure they don't have that many coasters and they're not an earmark destination park like Cedar Point or Walt Disney World, but they are the essence of...

Been looking at the live feed streams of this thing cycling. It is an utter speed monster, and keeps getting faster as it cycles.

Re: The Big Sheep | Unknown name | Zierer Tivoli Oh my god, now that's how you advertise a ride!

it's like an acid trip without the acid.

I am totally okay with this.

Wicked Cyclone and Impulse here. Maybe Tempasta and Laff Trakk, too.

Re: BGW | Tempesto? | Premier Rides Launch Coaster Hey so it's been a while since this thread was updated. Either way here's what you'll need to know. -Track is totally finished -Confirmed to be named Tempesto by SEAS in their Q4 earnings statement -No official announcement has been made yet...

That section essentially serves as the MCBR anyways, only under emergency circumstances will a train be stopped up there.

Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched So then kindly explain why there are no major issues with B&M Wing Coasters, first generation Stand-ups, Dive Coasters, Floorless Coasters. Hell Hulk, using a secondary company for their launch lift, doesn't have those kinds of issues even though...

Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched You missed the part where they're a total maintenance nightmare for parks as a whole. Kingda Ka has dropped 2 hydraulic motors, and had to have its entire launch stretch replaced. El Toro has had multiple sections of track completely ripped apart...

Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched Probably due to the fact that Intamin has been nothing but a **** in the United States over the last 18 years.

Re: Phantasialand to demolish the Western area for something Intamin and Zierer have pretty much the same track, how can you tell them apart?

Re: Six Flags Magic Mountain | Twisted Colossus | RMC Iron H Judging by the way the system is blocked it's likely that it was intended to make the trains pass through the hi-5 together, or as close as possible. Hopefully they employ a similar staging method like what Dueling Dragons used before...

Every B&M Hyper has at least one trim, be glad it doesn't have one on every hill like Intrimidator or Behemoth.
