Was nice looking back at Rocket Cycles. What a stupidly weird ride. But so much fun. I should've exited the shop before you took that photo in the IMG gift shop....

I was so disappointed with Motiongate. I want to like the park. And with everything being open, I think I could like the park. But at least till my next visit, every time I think of the park I'll first remember all the closed rides (and stupid secured glasses policies).

Kind of wild that my account still works after all those years. Nice summary of the trip so far! It was a good time! Missing some Flying Aces and immaculately clean restrooms.

@Canobie-- glasses thing should be fine now. I rode later in the day and was ok. For me, this one sits below Fury 325, Behemoth, and Leviathan, but above the rest of the North American ones.

Hi All, I'm glad my login still works! I got asked to post my Facebook review of Mako on here as other might be interested. I've clocked 80 rides so far as part of testing and it's a really enjoyable ride. Probably 2nd or 3rd favorite in Florida. Here is my review: Overall the coaster is...

Hey guys! It's been a little while. I've done a ton of park trips lately, but thought a few hours at Harry Potter might be worth a report. This was written a little more for non-coaster enthusiasts, but hopefully you'll enjoy that and some of the pictures! -------------------- Easily...

That 90 degree banked turn is just...odd looking... I hope it works well since the rest of the ride looks great. I would imagine some of the airtime is going to be incredible, especially on those last few hills. I just hope it rides decently well... I'm never really sure what to expect from...

This is just awful... Will was an awesome guy. That's going to be devastating for the park. He was the driving force between making the park as nice as it always was. I hope they're able to carry on with everything. Really terrible news...

^ *those cars. It's because this ride was already commissioned for the F1 park in Dubai with these trains. I expect it was a park specification or something to do with the layout. I don't expect it'll become a norm. Seems like a one time only deal.

RCDB put this up a bit ago-- a 5th Happy Valley park scheduled to open in fall 2011. If the others are any indication, quite a few more coasters well be on their way. However, right now they list a double wooden coaster from Gravity Group, featuring Timberliner trains. It's only 105ft, but...

...unfortunately, it will suck. http://rcdb.com/9205.htm According to rcdb, Kaeson Youth Park is getting a Zamperla Volare. Although I'm not sure it's a complete listing, according to rcdb, they haven't gotten a coaster since 1984. I guess any coaster would be good for them, but I...

Ooh, very cool. I had a feeling the layout would be pretty expansive. I do feel, though, that once we see the actual numbers, it won't be too over the top large since it's pretty much a straight shot out and back. And with what I can expect to be a layout right along the ground, I expect...

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but has anybody noticed that the train is already on the track for the ride? http://rcdb.com/4478.htm?p=26848 I guess that's a pretty good storage place, I just don't recall that happening on most coasters till the thing is ready.

^ That's my hope! I really want to get up there this year and try it out-- doing all I can to schedule things so I can have a trip. But yeah, it's the first coaster in a bit that I think might match a lot of the things I liked about Millennium.

New for 2010 ones in bold. Still evaluating where those are going to go. 1. Millennium Force 2. Voyage 3. Thunderhead 4. Top Thrill Dragster 5. Montu 6. Storm Runner 7. Manta 8. Griffon 9. Sheikra 10. Behemoth 11. MindBender 12. Maverick 13. Intimidator 14. Goliath (SFOG) 15...

^ Oh you're the first I've heard that from. I've only ever heard very negative things and looking at the shaping of some of those corners I always wondered how smooth they were. But that's good to hear it's not any worst than the regular ones.

They only one I don't have is Hollywood Rockit, but that will be rectified in a few months. On a good day, Montu is Florida's best coaster, despite the trims and things like that. It's a great layout and the trench effects always get me-- I really like all of that. But as of last summer, it...

Oh this is a different one-- I knew there were a few more of these inverts going up, but I hadn't heard about this one yet. I'd hazard a guess to say it'll have the same layout as the other ripoff SLCs like you find at Beijing Shijingshan.. either that or the ripoff of the Happy Valley / Kumali...

Thanks Roomie. Really interesting to see that. That's either one heck of a steep drop or climb right there. I'll be curious to see how both come out and how original the layouts are... plus if they even work...

Well, by Ed's post, I guess my area is unsafe seeing as a lady shot her husband to death outside my window a few weeks ago... That said, it's actually pretty nice so long as you go towards campus and not towards other parts of the city nearby.
