Legend Rider

yeah, its called IJ:ST where have you been?

oh wow, if i ever had that much pain, i would cry, not from the pain, but from the anguish of no coasters...

two words... Fifth Drop... Can I get a Shout out for all the Raven 5th Drop Enthusiasts? UH? Snapper? Swinger6? Swinder6 knows what im talking about, riding in strange and unusual (but not wrong) ways and causing us to get so bruised it hurts so bad. but we rode like 32 times in a row, wow, and in the night too! wow! so really, raven doesnt suck, its an airtime machine! and it is proudly celebrating his 10th birthday, go down to holiday world and give the raven a spin... and gawk at the new train and new transfer area, it is supposed to be asl large as the statiopn, maybe as wide too, check out the webcam... Go Raven: Taking abck our spot, give it up Shivering Timbers, ACEers Beware, just due to the fact that there was no SRM, doesnt call grounds for dissing a ride, does an event actually change a ride? except for a grand openning type thing? i have also received word as many of you have, no SRM-2005, man! i hope and pray now for the kochs to come around and give us ACEers an event to remember, SRM-2006, and it oculd be called "it starts again" it was awful at 2004, friday was excellent, Halloween Night, all rides in Halloween were open, nothing more, free food at Kringles Kafe, but hey free food is good food, most people stayed near the legend, free drinks super close to a ride... hallowswings was dreamy, so many colorful lights, a friend of mine counted about 1500 lights, and the art work is awesome, not to mention the ropelight bats... SWEET! I arrived on night two, and was not greeted so well, i was instructed to head to the picnic grove and stay there, as i walked by, i noticed the rides were not open, pul revere's midnight ride was not even light up, which was going to be it, Liberty Launch, and Eagles Flight open while Raven and Legend too, it was "4th of July Night" and we just walked to the grove to get food, it was good, but after a while, no more food, im gonna pop! so we were contained like animals at this point, ride operators and management instructing us to stay in the grove. Mrs Koch got on the podium, and as many people were highlly anticipating a huge celebration, and the unveiling of a possible coaster... ...sadly it turned the other way, she had no choice but to end the night of SRM(S)-2004 early... it was tragic, but she really had no other choice. it was awful, and everybody's hearts sank... But regardless of any problems like that, it is still the greatest wooden coaster, or any roller coaster, i have come across by far. I know i have said things about SoB, but yeah it does hurt me, and the structure does look like but i am not going to be disrespectful to it because it is painful, i can respect something and not like it, like the dentist! SoB has hurt me in the past, but im not as mad as one of my friends who said he wouldnt get on it again, unless god himself showed up and proclaimed "it is now smooth" Ha! like that would happen, Klockster, even you must admit, it is rough... but the point im trying to make is that even though you might have gotten a "short" ride on raven, which is true, if it could only be longer, wow! but the raven IS short, that is its claim, as Snapper said, it never loses speed, in fact it gains speed toward the end, keeping you awake throughout the entire ride... roaring into the station isnt to bad either, and a small brake run is not a bad thing, sure if they are too small they can stop really fast... but look at it this way... who here has never said... "wow beast has a long brake shed" if you havent, what is wrong with you? Beast is a Great Ride, but still, its not my Number one, Raven has a spot in my heart for the #1 Spot, The Legend gets my Number Two, and the rest kinda changes at any whim... Thanks for Time

oh ha ha ha, what about riding the raven 27, kajillion times until we got bruises on the last day in october...

did you try the legend in 2K4? try it this year and raven, they are going to be a little different especially if you didnt ride in 2004!

how incredibly ridiculous

still though, the xtreme seat was awesome! i rode it as my only ride on it ever, my first last and only so far... need to ride it again... if it stays open for more than a few minutes... its more untable than charles manson

top 5? try top 3 at least! LOL but seriously get on both, and get on their website *cough* www.holidayworld.com and check it out, you can interperet the hours map... pick a pink or blue day... they typically are better, but if you dont mind an earlier close time (park ALWAYS opens at 10) come in may or october, NO LINES!

there are 3 holidays... Snapper UH... Christmas, 4th of July, and Halloween... Christmas is Shops and Food and Baby Rides, 4th is Family Rides and Kiddie Rides, Halloween is the Thrills and Family Rides, Halloween happens to be one of the Biggest Holidays for Holiday World, but sadly, no Halloween or Christmas activities Exist, [tear] there used to be, but i beleive the park lost money so it all ultimately flopped, they had sled races int the hill where raven's station is now, and ice skating and lots of activities, but no rides... except the train i think... but the train was the original ride... 1946 baby! 59 years of operation? Thanksgiving...Easter...Christmas...4th of July...those are holidays Halloween isnt a holiday its just for fun and AlienSeed I agree it is easy to frighten people with simple use of props. not even thanksgiving or easter... yet ;-) praying for a mega-expansion soon, need more rides... not just more of the #2 waterpark in world...

wow, you seem to be coming to grips... okay then, you need to email me... i need to tell you some stuff... that is forbidden for me to speakst of...

several beast ops agree, HWs Woodies are better... c'mon, Snapper, Beast may have more heritage, but Raven Air is Excellent, and Wow! the Legend!

Delirium is the Prototype, and props always got to the prototype, such as Taz.Typh. will never Top ZINGA... NEVER

typically you leave that box open until its time to start ride right? if so, no problem... but if everything is placed together, this would be bad if it were all closed in...

Legend is good, you must be a beast op am i right? Raven is still better... but yeah, if it helps, small swoop down/right, lift up, swooping crest about 110 degree then drop into the first drop, then as it swoops down to the ravine, the tunnel surrounds the track, the train then roars over watubee, then dips below ZOOMbabwe, and up and beyond ZINGA to begin the 77 ft Spiral Drop, of changing radii and incredible forces, to slam into the bunny hill! great airtime! it then goes to the next hill which feels like it barely makes it over, then into the underground (by 4 ft) tunnel, and turns shyly at the bottom of that, then swoops left and right to get you to the double helix, then a small hill to introduce you to the helices, after the first tunnel of the first helix, it makes you dive into the second and after THAT, you go around (with incredible G forces) and go up and down to head toward Frightful Falls Log Flume, then after turning sharp to the right, you dive under the flume, and up and over the station, to the left, down into the ravine, up and roar around the corner, and whooosh! the brakes... that better? lol eh ive only been to PKI twice too so i really feel ya

ha ha ha, thats awesome!

you should get to going at the legend... it would be cool... you could do a great job... Great Spiral Drop on it! and a Bunny Hill, i think that could be the "old church bridge" and the photo shoot could be the bright falsh! lol

he does that even if im nice! but hey any coaster that held together 1/2 bolts, 1/2 nails is going to be sh*tty structure. but hey...

FEET = SMELLY, A BOX WITHOUT AIR HOLES = POOR VENTILATION Delirium BOXES + SHOES = SMELLY BOX SMELLY BOX + TEDDY BEAR = SMELLY TEDDY SMELLY TEDDY + CARING MOM = TEDDY IN TRASH TEDDY IN TRASH = KID UPSET KID UPSET = NO FUN AT PARK NO FUN AT PARK from shoes at Delirium... well, that is exaggerated, but you see? thats kinda how it happens sometimes! yucky

thats odd, you study that too closely, it just sucks

thats so strange... oh well... i still prefer legend's theming... and TR:TR Snapper, I AGREE 100% HA HA HA HA HA

not even the first drop, it throws me around!

hmm, but a shelf wouldnt hurt... keep the shoes away from other nonsmelly items...

Ahem! Gravity Group!

maybe so, but not Vekoma, for the love... not VEKOMA! not a Hang-n-Bang!
