lol, why did they program it to release so little anyway, it should have gone up enough so you could inhale all the way. and it seemed to get tighter as the ride went on.

Cool, by they way, if there is a lack of news stories, maybe people could start writing articles of their ride reviews ect, are we allowed?

The only reason Id go to SFMM is becuase of the coasters, and id just bear the other stuff, its like the show, its got all the carnies and the other bad stuff, but im just there for the rides. With the person doing a wee wee on the path, was it a little kid or was it like an adult? I reckon if they were to make another 4d it should only have one seat on each side in a 7 car train, with four trains running. It would mean a second MCBR, but you would just make the final section spin around more. I would also use normal restraints instead of the things that look like backpack straps.

It made me wonder why drop zone kept making it in in recent years even though GD was taller. BTW, does TOT still have its speed record certificate on display out the front of the ride, i really wanna get a sticker that says "Void" or "Kingda Ka was here" and whack it on.

Ok then, i think intamin should do an entirely new lap restraint system , maybe similar to the B&M clamshell. I hope the cable doesn't break, and richo, that is a really good idea for the X-ray system that checks it, kevlar could be another cabling option but thats expensive but as i said, Intamin should research carbon nanotubes, now that would be strong I thought you would want to ride it Richo, I remeber seeing in a TR that riding Xcellerator made you more exited about TTD, and this would be similar.

Can you give us any info on this new non coaster site?

That would be the best spot for the woodie as i carries on that areas wilderness theme, and woodies are cheap so why not? It fills the gap between kids coasters and extreme coasters without being a family coaster.

I think it would handle it well, people would fill all the shows to capacity, and lots of people would be watching the animals. And SWs staff a very efficient, so i think they would do better. the last time I was at SW it was walkon all day, and the time before that was very minimal rides.

Bowling is lots of fun, anyone can do it and its a great game to play together. Too bad our towns center isnt AMF, but then again, if MCL got hold of it they might only run one lane

They should use bucket seats as they are much more comfortable, I wouldnt buy it to modify anyway, Id rather an Intamin double hammer, which has bucket seats and normal OTSRs.

I bet a lot of people will say TTD is better because of it having lap bars, a few extra meters dont make up for those big OTSRs.

Most deaths on rides come from not following the rules anyway or because of the accident happening near the ride (for example, being hit by a coaster train)mechanical faliure isnt the main cause. And even if it is the cause, it seems mainly on carnie rides.

No, the dummy cameras would discourage vandalism because people would know they were being filmed. It wasnt a themeing idea. However, for themeing, just continue the devistaed city idea, Beams bent and at odd angles above the queue, ambient sounds of sirens and sceams in the distance,random flashing strobes to look like sparks from snapped power cables. Abandonded geiger counters going crazy detecting radiation,fog being spurted from broken mains, Bent and ripped corugated iron on the roof that looks like its been wrecked. A soundtrack that builds atmospehre and just scares you. Prehasps some hidden equipment that makes sharp noises of things breaking and colapsing and of course, some damaged toxic waste drums with pools of painted toxic waste around them.

Why would you complain about someone coming to a perk every weekend, he would buy the food, and has paid for the season pass, so he is making the park money, and in turn paying the wages. And also, i belive the queue vandalism issue comes ahead of the launch speed issue, and vandalisim should be fixed up, there is no exuse for it. Maybe they should stick some dummy cameras in there, that should discourage people a bit.

Yeah, you thought Blue Fall was big.........

Cool, I can get some decent pics of Pyrenees.

Well, we have had lots of talk about exreme rdies for the park, but what about smaller broad appeal rides, what would people put and where? Also, would goldrush have space for a new ride?

Plus it has broader appeal, and seriously, how would you market it? the GP would just think it was the normal pirate ship, or would just compare it to something like the hangover, A waste of money, there are other rides i would rather see at SW.

Well, losing 15m seems like a fair bit.

Could they pump extra power in to make up for any losses caused by the rides ageing?

How much could a new computer cost anyway? $20000, $30000, they would make that much in a day.

I know it is owned by MLT, which is kind of funny because they have a waterslide named the tunnel of terror, they must have been real short of ideas. I would like to visit sometime, they have some good rides, and thats pretty good considering they are in an isolated city smaller than sydney and melbourne (and then people turn around and say a big park wont work in sydney even though AV works in perth)

Well, the other record is creating "structural and design history" which sounds a bit vauge, its not as if i go "OMG, i gotta plan a trip to DW, GD has created design history, and the gondolas are 8 across, man that is soooo cool! the only real record it has that's at all exiting is its tallest freefall record, and even then its just 12m ahead of its nearest competitor.

Cool, you didnt fail to let us down when it comes to captions. I got a laugh reading the tge Las Vegas gallery in the bit about wendys burgers being square, I remeber seeing and advert for one in an american magazine and thinking it was really unnatural. Also, what is so good about krakens zero g roll?

So alex, with all the footers you saw. how were they arranged? were there lots of little ones like on a coaster, or were there big flat ones like for buildings, or a few large ones like a flat ride.
