Obviously there's tons of parks I want to go to, but looking at the ones I'm most interested in: Hershey Park (technically I've been before but I don't remember anything) Canobie Lake Park (just because it's close and I haven't been yet) King's Island Canada's Wonderland Silver Dollar City Six...

^I hadn't gotten around to reading that yet. Thanks :)

^I apologize if I missed it in your posts (or anyone else's), but how are the inversions on the ride? Are they particularly intense, or do they just flow nicely without a large amount of high-g? Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

Re: Top 10(ish): 2014 Edition I was at BGW this past week, which brought a couple new entries. They're in bold 1. Millennium Force 2. El Toro 3. Boulder Dash 4. Kumba 5. Apollo's Chariot 6. Intimidator 7. Batman: The Ride 8. Griffon 9. Hollywood: Rip Ride Rockit 10. Sheikra 11. Incredible...

Having wrapped up at BGW yesterday, I'm going to have to go against what seems to be general consensus here and say that I prefer Apollo. When I rode Nitro, I couldn't help feeling that it was lacking something. It had good airtime and a forceful helix, but the ride was just missing something...

I really enjoy both rides. Mummy had great theming, and the coaster section had a really fun layout with a surprising amount of airtime on some of the hills. Still, Hulk wins in my book. Overall, its a solid ride with good pacing and decent forces. But that launch straight into the zero-g roll...

There's a lot of rides I haven't ridden at Lake Compounce, but they're pretty much all kiddie rides and generic flats. The only major thing I haven't been on is the haunted house dark ride thing. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

I haven't looked into RCT4 at all, and I didn't even know it had been announced until I saw this topic. That said, I'm really not surprised at this "mobile first, PC second" release they seem to be doing for the game. I've always seen RCT as a casual game, and as of right now, mobile is the...

I don't think I've ridden any shooters besides Men in Black at USF. Generally I'd glance at the score at the end, make a quick boast to whichever family members I'd beaten, and forget about it right after.

I really don't think there was one specific coaster that made me an enthusiast. I've always loved coasters, from the first time I rode Mad Mouse at Quassy when I was 3 or 4. Scorpion at BGT was the first "big" coaster I rode, and the first with an inversion. I think that's when I really got...

^Yet Soarin' is your favorite "coaster" and DCA is your favorite park? Anyway, I guess I might as well post my thoughts on this, given that I was in WDW about a month ago. I'll start off by saying that I'm not really the kind of person that Disney caters to. I went to WDW when I was younger...

Re: Ferrari Land PortAventura Just about everyone here on CF says that Baco is rough as hell (although some people do like it). But do the GP at the park view it in the same way? I've never been to Port Aventura, so I have no idea what the general park guest there is like. Do the GP find it...

Coaster pictures are kind of a mixed bag for me...I can acknowledge that a picture looks good and that a ride is photogenic, but no picture has ever really properly captured a coaster for me. No matter how perfect the photo is, nothing compares to actually being there in person. Just hearing the...

Ok cool, I did that as well, hope it works. Thanks for the advice.

This may be a stupid question, but I think it's better safe than sorry. I just finished making my ballot using the drag-and-drop creator, and it says to email it. When I copy and paste the ballot into an email, the text loses all the perfect, chart-like spacing that is present on the ballot...

Definitely Batman. The pretzel loop is great on Superman, but everything after is just slow meandering. Batman keeps great intensity for the whole ride and has a solid layout. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

^Yeah, I acknowledge that "unconventional" is a very broad term...and in all honesty may not have been the best name for the title. The list of rides I named seem to go together, at least in my mind, but I didn't really know what else to call them. They all have unconventional layouts, but this...

I don't know much about it, and I could be completely wrong, but wasn't there some weird prototype coaster planned for Alton Towers until the idea was scrapped and Nemesis was built instead? I think I read/heard something like that somewhere...

^4Ds definitely are unconventional, but I left them out of this grouping. The fact that ZacSpins have no movement laterally made them more similar to things like S:UF, Impulses, and Squirrels, as well as Skyloops that have minimal lateral movement. These types all also have small footprints...

In terms of length, I think and hour and a half for Maverick is the longest I've waited. For other factors, the pre-ride video on Rip Ride Rockit got annoying after a while. In the queue for Batman at SFGAdv, as you get close to the station they play a dripping sound, to simulate water...
