  1. I think we have the same philosophy on coasters. Titan is one of my favorite, yet very few enthusiasts speak of it and Drachen Fire will always hold a place in my slightly bruised heart. Also I find Raven still to be the best coaster at Holiday World and I find Grizzly at KD one of the most underated woodies around. I also think too many people overlook Blue streak at CP and they don't know what they are missing, same goes for Scorpion at BGT. Finaly I must asky why were more coasters like Mr. Freeze and Tennesse Tornado not built?
  2. I agree with you there and a great Elivs impersonator is a gentleman by the name of Mike Albert. If you ever have the chance to see him do it and you wont be sorry. First class show all the way.
  3. I would imagine silver, because they make the same style metal roofing in various colors. So why not instal a red metal roof in the first place if you are going to paint it red in the end. I would say it will stay silver.
  4. Ryan said that Nick will not fade out, it will be up and gone. Although he also said that "There may or may not be a day that Nick is gone", so if that effects your judgement in any way...... And I would say changing the name from Nickelodeon Theater to Putz HQ is fadding out. Some more FYI on Marty Putz he use to perform during KBF Halloween Haunt...
  5. After seeing the numerous splashdown images of Diamondback it reminds me of a fighter plane breaking the sound barrier. This Reminds me of this And this video is just awesome.
  6. Since the other topic is missing now, I will mention like previously stated that what use to be Nickelodeon Theater is now Putz HQ home to Marty's Party. A sign of things to come?
  7. Royal Caribbean and Universal team up to offer Land and Cruise Vacations. A great idea and the cruises that are being offered are amazing.PRNews Web
  8. Heres the link to Clawshun industries and the ride takeover. Clawshun Also here is Jimmy's website Truth2Power
  9. Lex Luthor and Lex Corp have taken over the ride and everyone knows Lex's favorite color is purple. I like how the speakers were incorporated in to the head rests. Very nice.
  10. Wow doesn't that look like something that will never get off the ground. Great renderings, very detailed, Im ready to invest. Does the "This is Diamonda" remind anyone else of "This is Cyberdyne?"
  11. Yes Mean Streaks design was based off of Texas Giant, but it is nowhere near as rough as the Giant. Giant just beats the living tar out of you from start to finish. The end is the worst part, some folks Ive heard refer to it as the magic carpet section, but it litterally just snaps your head side to side and throws a few pops of airtime in while your in pain. Not fun. Here is a front car pov, starting at the 1:09 mark you can watch the brutal magic carpet section. Mean Streak has nothing on Giant.
  12. Yes either put in the back row of a car or you can fold it up.
  13. Man the crash on KICentral must have effected goofywdw youtube account also because his video of Diamondback testing with real live dummies has disappeared as well. I feel like I lost an entire day of my life, maybe non of this ever happend and Im just dreaming it all.
  14. That is a costly facelift for Texas Giant. Has only gotten more and more rough as I have road it. Makes, Son of Beast and Mean Streak feel very smooth. Definately in need of some tlc. Seems like this could be a growing trend for Six Flags parks, SFKK has shut down the twins for the seasson and now Giant. Hope they aren't blowing smoke and really do start the repairs, then again who knows who will be running the show next year. Post Number 3000
  15. Well since the posts from yesterday are missing. Like I said then I wish they would put a German style polka band with dancers in the Festhaus. They could easily do something like Busch Gardesn in Williamsburg does. The dancers really interact with the auidence, pulling the crowd in to the show and the band is top notch, plus you cant argue with a stage on an elevator for the band to ride. The video below is long but it shows what the show at BGW has and would really help bring the authenticity back to the Oktoberfest section of the park.
  16. Absolutely amazing! I have never seen that before and would love to have a copy of it.
  17. Oh geesh let the conspriacy theories begin. Now where did I put my Men in Black Neuralyzer?
  18. You are in for a treat and especially to experience B&M for the first time it will more thank likely be unlike anything you have ever been on before.
  19. I agree, 30 seconds is insane. Also if you take the ride being 3 minutes long and take out roughly 30 seconds for the lift hill and brake run times, you will be out of your seat for 20% of the ride with airtime. That is massive airtime!
  20. New Blog Update Heres the big takeaway, more than 30 seconds of airtime! Voyage is 24.2 seconds of airtime so Diamondback is 6 more seconds of airtime, that is insane.
