Backward Topgun ?
Gordon Bombay replied to TOPGUN1993's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Yes the last 3 cars are backwards! Astroworld used to do this for their version of fearfest and eventually just did it year round. XLR-8 was the 2nd Arrow suspended coaster ever built (the first being The Bat at Kings Island). XLR-8 featured two lift hills and only went about 38 mph, my drive to work is probably more exciting than XLR-8. This could probably be done with Top Gun, that would be pretty cool if they did do that! Last I heard XLR-8 had been sold for about 7000 dollars, dont know how true that is but it was from a friend who went to the astroworld rides auction. My father is from Houston and used to work there as a kid, he said that park used to be so beautiful and nice. We went there last spring and Six Flags took horrible care of it, judging from the pictures Six Flags really let it go down hill. -
That pic has been on rcdb atleast since last year. Plus, if this was taken in 06 why are there leaves on the trees?

^Well said Coaster's RZ, HB was nothing special, most of the rides in it copuld be trailer mounted to. I really dont see how you people think NU Is going to suck with having very limited information and not seeing the finished product yet even if you are "insiders" *rolls eyes*. Yeah you, me, and everyone else on this site.

Final Destination 3
Gordon Bombay replied to DeliriumDreamer's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Its rumored on IMDB that a sequel is already being planned to follow up Indiana Jones and the Acers of the lost park called Indiana Jones and the holiday world of doom. -
If you guys thought like Ray Nagin, you could make a rollercoaster out of chocolate!

Final Destination 3

Go here and watch the clip at the bottom called "Rollercoaster: The Begining" do you see now people? This is why ride ops fight against the people who like to POV at paramount parks and holiday world? Someone should post that clip on an ACE message board. -
^Good point Coasters RZ, theyre closing because not enough people are going to come to make profit (much like on the day you and I were there and the park closed at 4) and I'm sure theyd do this regardless of whether they were selling it or not, but Im sure the interpreter knows for sure, I think his aunts works in entertainment and she got the memo too.

Yep, that Evel Kneievel video was featured on the History channel special "Absolute Evel: the story of Eve Knievel"
-
Well look whos back, Id watch what you say, this has gotten you banned many times. Sources please?
-
^Unless it was done on the black market.
-
when did i say anything about the tour or agreeing with the tour? I didnt go to that tour.
-
^Definently newer technology and more advanced system but, theyre probably extremely expensive, it would require all new programming systems to integrate the 4d effects, and those seats look like theyd take up much more room.
-
I never applied, PKI heard of my legendary exploits and contacted me.
-
I will be wearing a fedoara and bringing a bull whip, should any Acers comit false advertising and not let us join in their fun, then I'll have to give them a preveiw of the movie!
-
Yea I was at that tour also and was told there would be boardwalk and less concreate in the waterpark, and you won't be able to see from one end to the other, and 3 years later were still burning our feet on the concreate. I know i've been away from the web site for awhile but where did Siebert go to ? Well you have to think about this logically, concrete gets warm but doesnt burn your feet, would you rather have asphalt? And I bet theres not boardwalk because then youd have to much liability of splinters of wood coming off and possibly injuring people.

Yes, but Carowinds isn't located near what ya'll consider a major city. We had over 2 million, and we are increasing every year. You have about a million more than us and that number fell last year. You all have a nice park, but its nowhere near the size of Kings Island nor does it have the attendance Kings Island gets. Id like to see where you get your figures considering the parks dont even really release them. Carowinds is a kick @$$ park though, Id give anything to have Top Gun: The Jet Coaster! Ahh my favorite coaster!
-
^Yeah ours might have dropped but I believe we still had more people and made mroe money than you.
