  1. Some feel the park has enough Coasters as it is and should start focusing on other ideas, Dark Rides in particular,

    That's because they do, IMO of course :P

    The queue concept art reminded me of Jaguars in some ways. I probably won't ride this because of what it does...I won't even ride Sierra Sidewinder at Knotts. I have pretty much made up my mind to return to Florida in September (when it's not as humid) of next year. 2 or 3 days at SeaWorld and 1 at Busch Gardens is what I am going to shoot for.

  2. At SeaWorld I heard guests refer to the pilot whales as "black belugas"

     

    I can't even..... ._.

     

    /facepalm

     

    And then the Commerson's dolphins at Aquatica (Orlando) I heard guests refer to them as "baby shamus" (this was also really bad at SeaWorld Ohio as they had nearly the whole population of Commerson's there during the 90s)

  3. I don't really like riding roller coasters at all (hence why I am ok with all those listed coasters staying in the graves) and miss the shade.

    Give me a good, tame flat and I am ok (as in no swinging or spinning)

    Edit: looking at the list again...Zodiac. I think I probably would have liked that one. I got a Zodiac question...isn't the years on the poll wrong? Cause I am pretty sure you can clearly see Zodiac in The Bat pov that is/was on Youtube and The Bat was the early 80s. I don't remember when Zodiac was transferred to Australia though.

  4. I woke up today had to have a 2nd cup of morning joe and could not believe the prospects of a Meijer. Love the whole philosophy of Meijer family owned n ran Sam Walton could not even by them.

    Really this us bad for the site.

    Maybe Paramount would build Erie Wood a east coast Hollywood studio and fun area.

    I'd rather nature just take the land back.

    Eh, guess Meijer is ok. Haven't set foot in one in about 5 years though.

  5. When I say snoozer I mean it being a B&M in general. I'm tired of them getting put in everywhere. I want to see parks expanding into different types of coasters. They make good stuff but variety is the spice of life.

    I like the colors and the name though.

    With what's been going on with SeaWorld I'd rather they built something that''s proven reliable and won't put them back in the news yet again for "knowingly putting peoples lives at risk" when the ride breaks down or has a serious mishap (thinking of Xcelerator at the moment). Honestly I can't even remember the last time I have seen Diamondback down for any other reason besides weather.

  6. Every time I visited SeaWorld Orlando I felt like the internationals outnumbered us, lol. ^

    I think it'll do well in Orlando. My friend who does work at the park is pretty excited for it cause now she doesn't have to worry about finding the time for Carowinds, lol. And she is the kind of person who is leery with all coasters cause she thinks they'll treat her the same way Gwazi did.

  7. Guess I'll make SeaWorld and Busch Gardens my targets next year. Dunno if I will actually ride it more than once, but seeing it gives me another excuse to go and to also more importantly see the animals of course :) Recent pics of Nalani...gosh she's growing up, haha.

     

    faeriewench...whom just realized she has yet to ride any coaster or thrill ride of any kind this year so far.

  8. I've only been to Kennywood twice, but on those two visits I never felt unsafe.  Stopping for gas at the gas station down the street on the other hand... I didn't even bother filling up all the way and got back in the car quickly!

     

    I love Kennywood.  It's a classic park with big time thrill rides thrown in.  Sad to see something like this happened and I hope for the best for them in the future!

    You're making me think of just about any trip to the Cincinnati Zoo. Love the zoo, hate the neighborhood.

  9. It would be a great name for a Dive Coaster.............in an appropriately themed park.

     

    Gemini

    Mean Streak

    Magnum XL-200

    Millennium Force

    Maverick

     

    Rougarou?

    Valravn?

     

    I haven't bothered to research but is Mr. Ouimet of European descent?

    Or they could just call it the Nose Bleed.

    Yes, I am watching Rockos Modern Life.
