    Knott's Berry Farm - Something actually cool?

    There have been some Screamscape/Westcoaster updates recently showing survey markers everywhere around the park... 7/29 update: http://www.westcoaster.net/updates.php? ... 810&page=3 The Sky Cabin has also been closed all summer. Could it be to keep some kind of a project backstage a...

    East Coast PTR, 6/19 - 6/29

    My lovely TR from Virginia to Massachusetts and every amusement park worth going to in between! Also includes some Philadelphia and Baltimore sky. Yeah, I'm well rounded. Day 1 was uneventful as we (my dad and I) just flew from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, then drove down to Maryland where...

    May Adventures PTR

    A TR of where I went during the month of May. On 5/2, I went to KBF to renew my pass and for a ride on Xcelerator (which had just recently opened). On 5/15 and 5/16, my friend was in need of some credits so we hit up Castle Park, Scandia, Adventure City, and Knott's again. (BTW, the...

    Does a Half-Ride Count?

    You're on a coaster. You make it up the lift and around the first half of the ride. As you're on the MCBR, the train stops and you are evacuated. The ride is closed the rest of the day. Do you count it as a credit? What if you get stuck on the lift hill, or the brakes? Where do you...

    SFMM PTR 4/11/10

    Sunday was the last day of Spring Break for most schools, so my friend and I decided not too many people would be loserish enough to go to SFMM on your last day off (except us of course) and took a visit (I needed to get my pass anyway). It was also cold and rainy, which is like the end of the...

    KBF PTR 3/21/10

    Last weekend was West Coast Bash, a TPR event held at SFMM and for the first time this year also KBF. I could only attend one day, so I decided to check out KBF since I went to SFMM last year for WCB. We got an hour of morning ERT on Montezooma's Revenge, Jaguar and Timberline Twister...

    Castles n' Coasters PTR 3/13/10

    On Saturday, I took a day trip to Phoenix to see a spring training baseball game and go to Castles n' Coasters. It was a long day (5 hour drive each way) but I'm glad I can finally cross those credits off my list. Castles n' Coasters wasn't the best park, but of course, I wasn't expecting...

    Coaster Count

    Do you bother keeping track of how many coasters you've ridden? Some people don't care; it's just a waste of time and adds more nerdyness to an already nerdy subject. You like to ride coasters and maybe discuss them on forums...keeping track of how many you've ridden and going to small parks...

    Rainbow Magicland looks Magical

    Rainbow MagicLand While on rcdb today I noticed the 'New For 2011' section was already up. I clicked on it and found four new coasters going to Rainbow MagicLand, which apparantly is a new park opening in 2011. I'm assuming this is very recent news as I haven't heard, read or found anything on...

    SFDK PTR 12/27/09

    I went to Holiday In The Park at SFDK on Sunday and had good time. The weather was pretty cold but I think that scared people away as it was pretty much empty! I rode Medusa seven times, Roar five times, Roadrunner once, the Sled Hill twice (closest to sledding I've ever gotten), and the...

    Steel Eel - Hyper coaster or not?

    Would you call Steel Eel, the Morgan coaster at Sea World San Antonio, a hyper coaster? It is 150 ft. tall with a 150 ft. drop. Some would say no, because it isn't 200 ft. tall and it doesnt have a 200 ft. drop. I don't really agree with the 200 ft. rule, because while it is how the term...

    New England vs. Virginia

    I'm currently planning an East Coast Trip for Late June next year, including SFGAdv, Dorney, Hershey, Knoebels, and SFNE/Lake Compounce or KD/BGW. Can only do one due to time and money, and I'm wondering which you guys think is better. I'm most likely going with SFNE/Lake Compounce, just...

    SFMM PTR 11/1/09

    Went to Magic Mountain yesterday, expected it to be completely empty, and it was. Creepy empty. I didn't really have any lines to deal with, and the park was even open until 10, so I got there at opening, stayed till closing, and got...26 rides. Could have gotten more, A LOT more, but...

    Northern California 2009

    I went up to Northern California from 7/29/09 - 8/1/09 for quick visits to Gilroy Gardens, CGA, and SFDK. I've been to each of the parks before and had all my credits at each of the parks, except for Tony Hawk's Big Spin which I decided to ride even though I have motion sickness. I know...

    SFMM PTR 9/27/09

    Went to Magic Mountain on Sunday and the park wasn't very busy at all. Was a very hot but fun day, I got 22 rides in 9.5 hours. Pictures: Ran to X2 at opening, got front row in about 10 minutes, then went to Tatsu and got this amazing picture of its pre-lift! What a fun position to...
