BeastForever Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 That would be awful if we got Nighthawk for Firehawk. Quote
SonofBaconator Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 If it isn't down a lot, the future Falcon's Fury from BGA. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 If it isn't down a lot, the future Falcon's Fury from BGA. It will be down most of the time. Very little of the time is a drop ride rising or at the top. 10 Quote
Aero Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Maverick from Cedar Point, or something similar. Amazing ride. 3 Quote
YoungStud Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Why would falcons fury have downtime? Drop zone is not like that. People think their cool cause they get on a company's bashing bandwagon. Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Actually, people are using past precedent as a semi-accurate indicator of the future. Drop Zone/Tower doesn't do that much mechanically, by comparison. The gondola rises, the seats spin, and the gondola is released and stopped. Falcon's Fury will rise, then rotate the seats forward, then release. It's only one more action, but it's an action Intamin's never done before. Actually, no one's done it before. So I don't think it's too unreasonable to expect that it's not going to work perfectly all the time. Heaven knows I love El Toro and Storm Runner, but negative stereotypes against Intamin have been known to be right before. And if you want to get all huffy about a "bashing bandwagon," let's have a talk about your B&M-related posts. 2 Quote
MDMC01 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I'd move Viper from Six Flags Great America here and put it on the land behind the Crypt's old building (basically sandwiched between The Beast and Diamondback). 1 Quote
JTW Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 The message was that it will literally spend most of its time in the down position while loading and unloading. It had nothing to do with mechanical integrity or lack there of. 1 Quote
D-Back Fan Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I would love to see an Aquatrax coaster...hadn't thought about it in a while until Maverick was mentioned, then I remembered the rumors that Maverick was going to be one. El Toro would be awesome too! Quote
sheikra_rocks Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 First of all, I would take Millenium Forceless and Raptor and dump them in the middle of the Atlantic. Then I would move Leviathan to KI! Quote
upstop Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Why would falcons fury have downtime? Drop zone is not like that. People think their cool cause they get on a company's bashing bandwagon. He was referring to the fact that Facons Fury will not be at the top of the tower for long and usually in the down position.... Quote
jjenkins Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing Alpengiest from Busch Gardens. We don't have a full circuit inverted, besides fly ace, yet... Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I would take Kings Dominion's WindSeeker, put it next to ours, and have them Race. 3 Quote
rcwizard13 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I would take Maverick and put it in the woods surrounded by trees. 3 Quote

He is saying the majority of the time on even operational drop rides is spent on the loading and unloading process. Then consider how they are generally "down" as in at the bottom of the pole, whenever the park is closed. Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I would love to see the defunct Big Dipper moved down to Kings Island. All it needs is fixed up a lot and then it's ready to go. 1 Quote
D-Back Fan Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I would love to see the defunct Big Dipper moved down to Kings Island. All it needs is fixed up a lot and then it's ready to go. Big Dipper from Geauga Lake? I loved that coaster, but I think we'd have a better chance at getting a new coaster eveyy year for the next 5 years first. But great ride nonetheless. 1 Quote
zombieninja Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Vortex by Technical Park Just rode this today 3 times at the Ohio State Fair. It's the ride that finally dethroned Tomb Raider as my all time favorite flat ride. I took a video, too. It feels very solid and the forces going upside down aren't as bad as you would think. The seats are surprisingly comfortable. It has a nice second restraint system for safety. It takes a minute for the ride to really get started! I should have a complete trip report sometime this week for the Ohio State Fair. 2 Quote
D-Back Fan Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 That looks like a ride for Canada's Wonderland...they love those totally insane flats! Totally forgot about the OSF this year, any other noteable rides? Quote
zombieninja Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 That looks like a ride for Canada's Wonderland...they love those totally insane flats! Totally forgot about the OSF this year, any other noteable rides? It seemed that Moonraker, Space Roller, Power Surge, and a pendulum ride I forgot the name to were the other standouts at the fair. Unfortunately, I didn't ride Moonraker because only a few seats were functional, so the queue didn't really move at all when we came back to it. I will have to say Space Roller is the most ridiculously intense flat ride I've ever ridden. Quote

BB1 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Verbolten for BLSC, River Rush for Tidal Wave Bay, need I say more? Quote
SonofBaconator Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Pretty Please Sweet mother of mayhem, please tell me you aren't serious. I am very serious Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I'd rather have a working furious Zipper. 1 Quote
