  1. You could easily do it on the long straight sections.
  2. A new B&M prototype to Gardaland. You can see construction photos here.... http://www.gardaland...?id_gallery=314 Have fun translating
  3. Hope you had as much fun as I did. I hope you rode the Voyage more then I did lol Six times. I got on one time. Did you go to it when it opened?

  5. Weird... I just got back from my first Holiday World trip lol
  6. Flight deck is the best ride at Kings Island besides Diamondback. It's not lame.
  7. Six Flags Magic Mountain
  8. The ride ops at the state fair were actually very rude. When I got off the zipper there was another couple on the ride freaking out and screaming once they stopped they were like GET US OFF! But what did the ride op do? Sent them on another ride cycle. The ride closed down after that. The ride ops also smoked while they were operating the rides. They would walk by check your seat and blow a puff of smoke in your face.
  9. I'm not so sure of it's hourly capacity though. Seems to be low. I wish they would replaced it with the Ferris wheel
  10. I would assume something like this: http://www.sears.com...ku=03415367000P Lights like this are VERY bright, and easy to handle. I remember watching a Discovery or Travel Channel episode years ago on what a miantenance crew goes through to inspect a wooden coaster. They would use a hammer to hit the track and listen for certain sounds (i.e. deep sound=solid, short sound=loose). They also knew what problem areas had loose nuts and areas that need to be inspected closer than others. It was a very intresting show. Sorry I couldn't give you more info. Here's a video on how they inspect a ride...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_oaGXcdWgs
  11. It definitely didn't open everyday at ten either.
  12. I agree with that. Your still getting the same amount of maintenace with a wooden structure in my opinion. The structure won't give as much but the trains will and it will tear up the track like most PTC's do. It's mostly up to the park and what The Gravity Group recommends. Which you probably knew lol
  13. Steel structures are more of a maintenance thing. It's up to what the park chooses if they want a steel structure or a wooden one. It also depends on how the ride interacts with the enviroment.
  14. I'm jealous of the huge trimmed drop. Looks intense
  15. Probably not since it's a new ride and a new crew but I could see them doing it next year.
  16. Power hours are insane if you ask me. The ride ops tell you to hurry hurry and they take your things for you instead of you doing it which sometimes they do anyways. They really do push you in and out of the station. I almost got 15 rides during a power once. That's when they broke the record Soon as that trains passes the MCBR your leaving the station. Wow I don't know if it would be very enjoyable just to get pushed in and out, but you would get a lot of rides in. I think they got 1599 riders during that hour if I remember correctly.

  18. I disagree with your first statement but agree with your last
  19. I saw a camera laying on Diamondback's spine.
  20. As of right now it's almost 19 dollars. I kinda wanna buy it.
  21. was it orange? Don't remember but it did have like a plastic/foam wrap around it.
