Diamondback_Is_King

Ah man you gotta get on Drop Tower! I used to be deathly afraid of Drop Towers. I would ride any coaster no question, but I would not want to do the Drop Towers. Well I went and rode Falcon's Flight at BGT and that scared the heck out of me so now I'm not afraid of them anymore lol. But seriously...you're missing out on Drop Tower. The first ride of the season on Drop Tower is always the best!!!

I'm assuming this was one in the Mystic Timbers station? I never really knew if this was on purpose or just a crazy coincidence. I know they both opened close to each other (2017-2018) so it would make sense. "Powerful enough to drill through steel...with VENGEANCE"

Mostly KI and CP. But lots of Universal too. My merch is mostly nanocoasters, wooden coaster cutouts, and lots of posters! I also collect maps from every park I visit (over 50+ maps but include some duplicate parks with special map, like WDW 50th). I have a grand opening passholder preview day button for Iron Gwazi on the first day it was available to ride, a UOAP mummy button, and some other random pieces that remind me of the parks. My family also collects Christmas ornaments at every park we visit and we have a whole "Theme Park Tree". I also have plenty of hats as well. I can never visit a theme park and not get any merch! 😁

Thank goodness! I rode Raven this past summer and it was ROUGH especially towards the end. It's great to see HW keeping up with their old coasters and making it them more enjoyable!

I don't know why, but when I saw this picture I thought of Kitty Claws at Holiday World 😂

Those little triangle-shaped shade thingy or whatever they are called that you find in Diamondback's or Banshee's queue do almost nothing for you. They don't even help with the rain. They're kinda useless to be honest. I wish we could have more structures like this in the park. Something like the Mystic Timbers covered areas that don't get used to often would be great. And while you're at it, add a little snake animatronic in a tool shed for Diamondback or a haunted shed with flickering lights in the Banshee line. It would give the guests something to "look forward to" while waiting in line and provide some more shade and theming.

So real. IMO it's just a giant waste of space. The building is pretty big too and I can only name a few people who actually like that ride. On my last visit this past summer, I chose to ride Mummy a 7th time in the single rider line over riding Supercharged just once. Thank goodness their getting rid of that awful ride. Kong is so much better. Anyway, hopefully they can use that gigantic building for something good. But I'm not gonna do what everyone else is doing right now and guessing what it's gonna be. Sometimes I get tired of watching the same "Ghostbusters and Back to the Future are coming!" videos. I get it. I like creating ride concepts, but some of those people act like they know what's gonna happen. I remember just a few months ago a guy on YouTube claimed that Ghostbusters was confirmed because of some green goo-themed scare zone nearby (IYKYK). I get so tired of him sometimes. Anyway, end of rant lol. Happy with the new addition overall. I was never the biggest fan of Rockit. Oh and I'm hearing people saying this thing is gonna have a 170ft tall spike??? That would be insane

I don't understand the "Hollywood Drift" name and I don't like that it's themed to Fast and Furious, but it's whatever. When I ride is good, you don't question the name or the theme. I don't care that it's the longest roller coaster name all-time because I like the ride. I don't care that it's called Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure because the ride is good. As long as the ride is good, people don't really care. And besides, Rockit was called "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit" so it fits in that way I guess. Not sure how it fits in with Orlando or New York, but as long as it's good people won't care. And from hearing about some of the possible stats, it sounds pretty cool! Let's not get too down on this coaster before we even see the layout. This ride will be a good replacement, I'm excited!

Universal announces Rockit's replacement tomorrow! Sorry for the small picture, there's a post on Facebook if you want to watch the video (which isn't really anything). Looks to me like Fast and Furious!

The first time I ever watched The Mummy was at Cabana Bay's pool! But Six Flags is not Universal or Disney. But all you really need is a projector and a projector screen, so it is a possibility. I've been to some small indoor water parks and even they have movies playing in the wave pool. Should KI do it? Yes. Could KI do it? Yes. Will they do it? Probably not. If they can't have all of the lights that are on the Christmas train at KI lit, how are they going to put a movie on in the wave pool? Cool idea though, I think this would be really cool!

Make the entire queue line indoors. I know it's not realistic, but who cares it's just a concept. Make the queue indoors, then make the show building a legit preshow. Let some people in, close the doors, then play the video. Although there isn't enough line after the pre-show for it to work, so I guess it wouldn't work, but still cool! After the preshow you head up the stairs (still indoors) and reach the station (also indoors). Then when the ride starts you are getting ready to launch to space (the lift hill). And instead of the blue LED lights on the lift hill, add occasional white streaks to act like comets or shooting stars. As for the ride layout, it's not great. But if the theming was increased, the ride would be better. Flight of Fear has more theming then Orion. I don't even know the storyline of that ride, but it's more memorable because of the creepy alien theme. Orion is memorable because of the crazy drop and the speed, but imagine how more memorable it would be if it had an indoor queue and some actually good theming with a working preshow. I know it would be way too expensive and never happen in real life, but that's why I play Planet Coaster!

100% agree on this. I would actually like a little different color scheme, similar to what they did when they repainted Diamondback last. The colors remained the same, but the shade was slightly different. I feel like Banshee's blue columns have gotten more purple over the years, and I would definitely like to see more of that dark blue. But to follow the topic, I think that whatever they do to FoF, they should make it less janky and shaky. I'm ok with a little shake, but not to the point where I'm getting hurt and not feeling good when I get off the ride. Not sure whether that means fixing the track or trains, but something should be done to this ride.

I absolutely love Taylor's reaction to this crazy ride...it really shows how insane and forceful this ride is. I also really like the people's reaction in the row behind them But I feel a lot of the other rides at this park don't get as much attention because of Falcon's Flight. Like the tilt coaster called Iron Rattler looks so fun and smooth! All the rides in this park look so fun, but I unfortunately don't see myself going here ever. Still cool to see nonetheless!

Yeah I don't know what is up with my browser. It's been doing this since the new refresh came out. It does look a lot nicer though when you can actually see the words! I'm on Chrombook right now

Ok this is getting annoying to have to squint to see the drop-down menu options. This isn't just something on my end right? It's like impossible to see the drop-down options because there is no background to it. And you can't even see the promotion at the bottom left either. Not really a fan of how the website looks thus far...
