https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/04/science/roller-coaster-kidney-stones.html Random question: has anyone here ridden roller coasters to get kidney stones to pass? I just found out I had one, which luckily might have been made smaller by the left back wing seat on skyrush and trimless voyage...

Just got voyage as 200. Considered myself lucky.

Just did a mini marathon of Phoenix during the day but didn’t get to do it at night. i can see this being not enhanced as much at night as some other rides since dark night rides enhance the crazy sensations of turns/laterals, making me feel like I’m being tossed into the abyss. Phoenix only has...

Thanks all for the great recommendations! Had a blast... After 3 rides on Candymonium and 2 on Skyrush, I was ready to declare the former surprisingly more intense. Then I sat in the back row left wing seat on Skyrush. I don't think I ever have been tossed in the opposite direction of the way a...

I gotta think it has to do with the debt Sea World owes and somehow opening this attraction would get them into worse legal/financial trouble. I doubt it has much to do with trying to attract a large crowd post-pandemic, etc.

fun...

thanks for this. does pushing the bar toward the hip increase the likelihood of stapling?

helpful! thank you.

Hi all. Taking my first trip to Hershey in 23 years in a couple weeks and am hoping to hit up everything new as well as knoebels for the first time ever. Heard Skyrush is great but the restraints can be painful. Any tips for how to ride it and where the best seat(s) are? Also will be traveling...

Sorry if this thread already exists but thought I'd pass along this announcement: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/03/universal-set-to-resume-construction-of-epic-universe-park-in-florida.html This seems like huge news not just in that the park looks awesome, but that it will spur on competition...

fun thread... closest park to me is Universal Hollywood but they're landlocked. That said, how cool would it be to open an RMC raptor indoors themed to Jurassic Park (can't fit velocicoaster there) or one of the Universal monster franchises other than the Mummy? Don't see it happening though...

It really depends on your definition of "simple." Technology-wise, Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland and Haunted Mansion at WDW (their counterparts are close but not quite as good) are more advanced than most parks but still dated. At the same time, they're both 2 of my top 10 dark rides...

Space Mountain at WDW. Probably got me into coasters when I was 10 so it has real nostalgic value but I still enjoy it so much that it hovers around the middle of my top 10. Love the one at Disneyland too. Come to think of it, most of my favorite coasters are general public favorites and not as...

I'm biased as I worked on the Uni lot in LA for 2 years and met my wife there but if you're looking for rides and just rides, Orlando is a bit better. If you're more than just a casual movie fan, the tram tour in LA is unlike anything else that exists at a theme park -- at least that I know of...

Based on what came out today, there's a good chance we don't see the major parks open until late 2021/early 2022 unfortunately: https://deadline.com/2020/10/disneyland-fires-back-states-theme-park-reopening-guidelines-1234600730/

It was a show as opposed to a ride. I think I was 10 when it opened and did it... it was hyped as the scariest thing ever at Disney world and I recall it not being as scary as I thought it would be

I’d say that more of my top 20 have a great layout regardless of theming or atmosphere but there are a few that wouldn’t be there without the theming (space mountain — more of a nostalgic pick that got me into coasters when I was 10 -- and verbolten for example).

Been a while since I’ve read a lot of them but as far as I can remember: 1. Alpengeist It’s a huge ride that makes good use of terrain and theming. I like that a lot of the layout is hidden from us as the riders until right before an element, so it feels less predictable if that makes sense. I...

2006 to 2010

love Basketball. I play — albeit poorly as a 5’7” relatively unathletic dude — and am a long-suffering Knicks fan-turned clippers fans as a socal resident. also love movies and tv as I work in that industry too.
