Zombie Ride at Bosque Magico
CoasterDirected replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Only two trains? -
Rode Diamondback 4 times today, once in the pouring rain. Banshee 5, rode Drop Tower my first time, and them 2 more times. Had a great time!

Shockwave closing at KD
CoasterDirected replied to Aaron88stang's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Last stand eh..... Reminds me of something last year. (Floor-less trains confirmed) EDIT: Just making it clear, this is a joke. -
Definitely Beast and Banshee for me. Diamondback is okay.

I honestly hear a lot of GP, being my friends, people I talk to in line, as well as the always correct YouTube commenters, that they feel much "safer" with OTSRs. I showed my friend a video of me on Dragster (my dad recorded it from the stands) and said that it should of "literally killed me" because all I had was a T-bar and a seatbelt.

I'm definitely doing Coasting for Kids next year with my dad. Although which park I'm doing it at is still to be decided. I only learned around 2-3 years ago that I was probably going to get skin cancer some point in my life. A few weeks later, I got a cancerous mole removed, and another a few weeks later. Got a scan, and had a, albeit small, tumor. Anyways, got a surgery less than a week later. I am VERY glad that I was able to have it detected and disposed quickly. I was in middle school then and I was freaking out. I can imagine what these kids are going through, and how horrible it is. How close I was to being one...

Speaking of rain, does anyone know if FoF runs in the rain? I know its indoors but Disaster Transport was indoors but it closed due to leaks in the building.

Only time when I use my phone is for A: Checking wait times B: Checking my texts and emails in line. I hate how easily "my" generations gets sidetracked. We constantly need entertainment, and you'd think a theme park would do that!
-
That's honestly amazing! As long as they have fun while keeping to the agenda and safety protocols, I'm all for it. I honestly love FoF's Ride Ops. I love how they scare new riders with the whole empty train thing. My last 2 times for FoF, the ride host? would ask if we wanted a countdown. Course most would say yes, and so the first time she said "OK, in" *launch* The next time she counted down from 10, got to zero. "Aw crap, I think it broke" Three seconds later *launch* Some of the most enthusiastic ride ops come from ones where they have control over the launch (FoF, Wicked Twister)

Isn't Frisbee the one now at SF: Great America?
-
I still ride at least 1 of them every time I come to the park and love them. I just meant that the flats cater to that kind of audience as well
-
I love the Coney Mall flats. Back when I was younger and would only ride Adventure Express, and the formerly Nick themed coasters, I would spend so much time just riding Scrambler and Zephyr. So yes I would love to have some new flats, because I know they are great for kids and adults alike who are not ready to challenge Diamondback or Beast

Isn't T3 the shortest SLC model? -
Would you think the KI Giga could use SoB's station?

Disney may be expensive as heck, but they sure make memories that last a lifetime. My first time going after my parents got divorced when I was young, I went on Haunted Mansion just with my dad. I remember being so scared I cried, and I did until I got I got into the loading area. We still have the picture on the fireplace of me just outside the mansion beaming but with tear stains. God, I miss that place so much. Have only been to Universal due our condo/timeshares have much better deals with Universal.

Souvenir cup and Platinum Pass question
CoasterDirected replied to faeriewench's topic in Kings Island
I got my souvenir bottle for the lowest price with my pass, but that was in May. -
After some AMAZING dark rides in Orlando last year, it really made me think how bad of a state Boo Blasters is in. Yes it's a seasonal park, but if Disney has proven anything, it's that dark rides are just as important as thrills.

Kentucky Kingdom
CoasterDirected replied to sccard01's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I really do hope the best for KK. Not only because I can have a new park to go to but competition breeds successful business strategies. Look at what what happened at E3 with Xbox and Sony in 2013. -
Disney World updates
CoasterDirected replied to Gabe's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
As long as they don't get rid of the Lego store and Dinosaur Cafe, thats fine by me. -
I'm really fine next year with getting the park better looking. I want them to do something along the line of what Kings Dominion is doing this year and last year.
