Re: Hersheypark's New Ride for 2012 i don't know much about the subject, but I just got back from hershey and SDL has to go, the whole time i was there, there was never a line for the ride and sometimes they were just running empty trains, just to keep the block system running

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits a little bit more to keep the topic alive 900 degree helix http://www.rcdb.com/1704.htm?p=17371 and a ummm... different pov http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufOA4T-9Hkk

I'm sorry I cant post any pictures to show this so I will attempt to describe it. In certain parts of the park (usually on stairs), guests will start walking back and forth over the same 4 or 5 pieces of path and eventually will get "lost" then tired, then angry, soon more guests will join and...

I normally do about one park per year, but this year I'm going to college in Pittsburgh, which offers free bussing and discounts to Kennywood :)

GASM @ SFGA (that is a lot of abbreviating) Big Bad Wolf at Bush Gardens

I get that the cars use gravity to go down a mountain, but how does blocking on the ride go? I've never been on one but from what I understand the rider has control of the brakes. So my question is do they just run the thing one car at a time? or if not what keeps the faster more daring riders...

i've only been on B&M inverts, but just in terms of design, B&M seems to be the only company that just doesn't copy the same design over and over again!!!

thats really good!!!! There really isn't to much to improve on!!

very nice!!! I'm not sure if I'm totally sold on the layout, but its the best B/M twister I've seen in a while2 I also take it the barrel roll after the helix isn't done yet ;)

there is more than that :P haha

This might be difficult to describe due to the lack of pictures to help me, but I'll give describing it a try!! So it seems I always get a few years into a park before I start getting complaints that the guests are lost and confused. When responding to this I notice there are about a hundred...

I went by most of them when I was little on road trips, my parents knew I was interested in roller coasters so they let me see the park but wouldn't let me go cause of either there wasn't enough time or money. :( I also went by Kings Dominon at least a dozen times on my way to my grandma's...

Wood Thunder Hawk (Dorney) - 1923 Comet (Hershey) -1946 Steel The Trail Blazer - 1974 Whizzer (SFGA) - 1976 Sooper Dooper Looper (Hershey) - 1977 By the way SFGA is Six Flags Great America not Adventure I haven't been on enough coasters to give a huge list, but i think these are the oldest.

This might just happen to me alot because my family takes alot of road trips but I was wondering if there were others who have seen alot of amusement parks but never been to them? I'll start with the list of parks I have seen out the window of my car and never been to. Cedar Point Six Flags...

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits what I meant by weird was the shape of the inversion and just the overall compactness of the ride, I also found the shape of the Immelmann on Stormrunner very odd. http://www.rcdb.com/2498.htm?p=9576 (sorry i dont know how to post photos without...
