    Why Do You Go to Amusement Parks?

    It's the coasters definitely. Having friends there makes it a much better day than going with one friend or on your own, but if I just wanted to hang out with friends I'd go do something a little cheaper. Yes, I'd be more excited if I was going with a bunch of friends, and I love watching my...

    Wooden Dream, NoLimits Competition

    Hi after all those questions, I will not be in the tournament anymore because I don't have the laptop I had my file saved onto anymore, and I can't work on no limits without the laptop. Sorry about that. Good luck to all you others who entered.

    Meh, I'm in the 'It's Okay' camp. It looks smooth, had a nice little S-hill, and if themed well looks like it could be okay... If there's more than 2 hour queues for the ride on saturday though, I'll probably just whore oblivion instead.

    ^^ What, 2 powerful pistons holding up the track isn't strong enough for you? Seems ok to me... So does this racing day and football day mean busier transport but less busy park?

    Coaster manufacturers

    ...You know Arrow no longer exists as an individual company right? I get the point about Arrow being better, and if B+M's get more forceless then I may change my mind, but B+M is just like a posh leather sofa compared to a rickety stool most of the time. I think I'm rambling.

    Maybe they've fooled everybody and the plans show the coaster going into the building, but the actual proper plans that haven't been released include a massive underground section through vast caverns, with more airtime hills than there are chavs at Thorpe park! EDIT: Oh, and after reading...

    ^ Yeah, but what about parks where the main attraction is cheaper than the other attractions? For example, the impression I get from Cedar Point is that their staple 'trademark' ride is TTD. Now, millennium force isn't the best example of a good airtime machine out there, but it must have...

    Yeah I guess. I hope the coaster is as good as it was in my dream! It sort of swooped above the crowd like some phantom ghost- the train glowed slightly, and it was sort of like a 4D coaster, but more 'alive'! And it went through scary well themed tunnels. Oh man. That was an awesome good dream.

    Wooden Dream, NoLimits Competition

    Sorry :P Yeah, it was a joke. My trackwork is really bad, but not quite that bad. I'm slightly offended that you thought it was serious!

    What I don't get, now that I've finally got it into my head that parks do not have to build the biggest coasters for GP, why they even bother at all? I mean, of course there'll be competition for advertising the most superlative ride, and thrill seekers won't be satisfied if they visit a...

    First-time inebriation.

    Oh it was just because I'd done something for the first time and I thought I'd share it. No real achievement or anything, but Furie posted a trip to the woods a little while ago, so I guess this part of the forum is just for literally anything you do that isn't covered in the rest of the forum...

    Most underrated

    From the point of view of how many GP's have heard of them, my favourite 2 coasters EGF The ultimate. From a point of view of enthusiasts not rating it highly, that's just a matter of opinion, and since most rides in the world get pretty good coverage by so many enthusiasts, I don't...

    First-time inebriation.

    Well yeah, I went to my friend's house and brought a 70cl bottle of vodka which we mixed with coca cola. I must have drank probably 100ml? Anyway, it sounds lame, but this was probably the most drunk I've been in my life. I've never reached the stage where I do actually stagger (even very...

    Alton Towers - what would you do next?

    Yeah sorry I knew what a jackhammer was, just didn't know what 'jackhammered' would mean. I thought the indiana jones ride looked a lot like the tomb blaster ride at chessignton, and then I got mixed up between tomb blaster and duel! So, basically, my mind just went screwy :P And NI, if...

    Alton Towers - what would you do next?

    ^OOOH yeah! I remember that! I thought like an overhead path... I guess it's sort of its own area. Alton has the best area distinction of any park in the country... apart from possibly legoland or chessington. That multi motion dark ride definitely looks cool, but it reminds me a lot of duel...

    Alton Towers - what would you do next?

    Dang it, you just nicked the idea I had for a my new NL (non comp) woodie! :P Have a lift and then boost it to about 30mph at the top of the lift... What do you mean by a multi motion dark ride? Like that jusrassic park themed tidal wave kind of thing? Can't remember the name of it. I like...
