Browntggrr Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Just first year blues for a new coaster. Not a big shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewwill Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Fixed code for you. It's a new ride, it will have a few bugs, it's all good. Can't wait to take it for a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It's a new ride, new trains... it will have some bugs. My personal opinion on Behemoth... great addition to Canada's wonderland, not a very original layout. Two or three airtime hills are fine but when it becomes more than half the ride of just camel back hills, that is just repetitive and unoriginal. That is my I love Intamin hypers, very twisted designs that do more than just hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I have not been on it yet, that is my opinion as of now not having ridden the ride. I once heard from a friend of mine, "You been on one B&M hyper, you've been on them all" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Heh, no! The only B&M he has ever been on is Batman: The Ride and Nitro at SFGAd. Don't get me wrong I love B&M hypers, I just wish they were more than just bunny hop hills and overbanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I love B&M hypers, I just wish they were more than just bunny hop hills and overbanks. Those bunny hop hills and overbanks are simply amazing. Being in the open cars just adds to the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I don't see anyone complaining about the bunny hills and over banks on Goliath. I for one am not a big fan of Millenium Force, I think it is by far the most over rated and over hyped coaster I have ever ridden, I would much rather have Goliath at SFOG than MF at Cedar Point.

The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 And there is a tremendous difference between, say, even Nitro and Goliath, much less Apollo's Chariot or Raging Bull and either of the first two... How can anyone know what riding all B and M hypers is like when they have only ridden one???? My head hurts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Since when is a lift stop news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Has been for a number of years now. Back in its early years, Son of Beast stopped on the lift once and made local tv news. And heaven forbid that a Great Adventure coaster get stuck on a lift...more times than not it is on the NYC news as a 'ride malfunction.'

Cody Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Nothing big, im pretty sure Drop Zone got stuck at the top on its opening day or media day. I forget whitch one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yes, Drop Zone got stuck at the top on media day. The stranded riders were up there just short of half an hour. No one seemed to mind much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Going back to the B&M vs Intamin debate... It's all a matter of opinion, of course, but I have been fortunate enough to ride several B&M hypers, Arrow Hypers and Intamin Hypers/Gigas/etc. My favorite coaster, of all time, is hands down Superman ROS at SFNE. It's a masterpeice. I remember it shocked the heck out of me when I first rode it. It was during an 8-day coaster trip I took with friends the year it opened. It came near the end of the trip, and to be honest I was so sick of seeing parks and riding coasters by that time, I was one tough cookie to please. I had felt very uninspired by looking at it's layout and construction throughout the construction phase. But we added the park to our list of to-dos because one of my travelling companions was insistant upon it. I even remember arriving at the park prior to opening, seeing it in the horizon and thinking "What's the big deal, it's just another out-and-back coaster." Well, lo-and-behold, I rode that thing and found coaster heaven. Close on it's heels is Apollo's Chariot. Nitro is up there but MForce is down the list somewhere, Raging Bull is in there somewhere too. Although my favorite is an Intamin, I think the B&Ms hold up a bit better and overall deliver more on an enjoyment level. Actually, the last time I ride MForce, it had some surprising jarring to it. (But if we are being frank, I have never *gotten* all of the hub-bub surrounding M-Force. After that 1st drop it's a yawner to me.) I was extremely excited for CW when I heard about Behemoth as it fits the park to a "T" just as "?" will likely fit KI. Shaggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooferBearATL Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 BUB Interprets that FAMOUS Canadian phrase *EH*! Subject: Understanding Canadians It has come to my attention that some people are having a tough time understanding Canadians like myself. So I am going to run through a very brief translation of the Canadian dialect and hopefully ease some minds out there. EH= pronounced AY (similar but not the same as huh) Eh is a useful word that is very important and is the basis of all Canadian communications.It is used in conjunction with other words, or simply by itself. The tone or the slight difference in exclamations also changes the meaning. Eh= what did you say? Eh?= what do you think EH?= something to say just to end a sentence Eh!!= WOW!! EH!?= what do you mean? Eh??= your joking!!!?? EH!!= Hello..you off in the distance!!! Eh?= want a donut? Eh!= sure!! Eh!Eh!= coffee double cream too please! Eh?= what you say when you realize you have no money to pay for it Eh..cmon eh?= asking them to let you pay for it next time. hey..eh!= want to go to the drive in movie?? Eh...uhuh= yes sure! Eh..y'know= Ill pick you up at 8 Eh..cmon!!= well thats early..but ok Eh..wanna?eh?= lets fool around EHHHHHHH= sounds coming from the car hey..um..er eh...= Im pregnant EH?????????= how did that happen? EHHehhEHHehhEHHH= sounds from the delivery room EHHH ehh EHHH ehh= babys first cry Ehh..whadya think eh?= marry me other usefel terms: hoser= a good friend.. take off!= you are kidding,no way,fly an airplane skates= what all canadians wear as first shoes(thats why we walk funny) lumberjack= something in our genes.. screech= a nice drink swish= a drink made from leftover screech barrels The Rock= Newfoundland Newfoundland= pronounced noofunlan Dory= Newfoundland cruise liner Toronto= pronounced Trawna Lake Ontario= where all sewers drain into Yukon= a drink Two Four= case of beer sixty pounder= large bottle of screech Over by= still havent deciphered that term yet The Canadian citizenship test: spell canada= C eh N eh D eh who was the first Prime Minister=Sir John EH Macdonald So if you hear me talking like this. Hey..eh..cmon eh hoser! y'know take off!! EH??umm err well hey ok eh! it's friendly! 8-) bub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
