Great America's Best And Worst Ideas

[FParker185]

But the pvetzel (Pun intended) doesn't take you head over heels.

That made so little sense I'm not even going to explain it. You have ridden Superman right? or experienced a Preztel loop on some other ride?

I love mardi gras's theming, although the rides are basically for kids. A great investment in my opinion

So, a 30+ Year old Shwarzkopf that shouldn't have made it past 25 is better than a 30+ year old looper and corckscrew? You're out of your mind.

Yes you are 100% correct, we need Demon. I really doubt Whizzer will be going soon, but i'd rather see it go then Demon.

Without The Demon, and perhaps Chang, we would have TWO, TWO coasters that invert.

Yes and one of those coasters is S:UF.... meh..

What I'm thinking with Chang coming either Demon, or Whizzer is going to be taken down. You would have Chang start where Space Shuttle America was, go demolish the Pictorium (At NCC, someone was saying no more IMAX stuff in there, but how long can they keep up with the Dick Clark stuff?), and take Whizzer out to, or you take out Demon, and put the rest in Splash Water Falls area of Chang.

Yes, they could go out into the parking lot more, but on a packed day (I wouldn't say there couldn't be more people in the park though!), they have had hardly any spaces in that parking lot. This was in the summer maybe 2 years ago. So, how can they afford to lose more parking to an expansion? You say there are no roller coasters for kids. Well, they added Dark Knight, Little Dipper, had Ragin Cajun for awhile, and of course Spacely's for awhile. I think there is more a possibility of Chang for Whizzer, and Pictorium than the other, but yet what about Waterpark separate admission, and expansion? That's right by Space Shuttle America area.

Worst idea: They should have made a better line at the station for Deja Vu, and than they wouldn't need a grouper which would have saved them a ton of money during those years it was open. On the days it had poor staffing, maybe just maybe the ride could be open, all because of that one person. The people at Kings Island for Invertigo look like genuises for their station rather than Deja Vu's station line. Invertigo doesn't use a grouper.

Also hearing that the pictorium would no longer show IMAX movies kinda said that the Pictorium has died. I wonder what new Dick Clark stuff there is.

Wait, ragin cajun and Spacely's aren't for kids/ are defunct?
I don't think demon or whizzer's going anywhere for the 2011 season

[david]

The only thing that will be removed for Chang if it goes in that area, is Pictorium and Go-Karts.

[FParker185]

Did the park confirm that at No Coaster? or ever?

[david]

*Reached 300*

Nope. I never said they did.

1. Why are you then stating it like it is fact?

2. No-one cares about your post count. You will not receive a bozo button.

You didn't read what I wrote:
What I'm thinking with Chang coming either Demon, or Whizzer is going to be taken down..... You say there are no roller coasters for kids? ( <- IF Demon or Whizzer were removed) I'll add this part though to make it more clear. Well, they added Dark Knight, Little Dipper, had Ragin Cajun for awhile, and of course Spacely's (I'll add this to -> has been at the park) for awhile. My point is that they added stuff to replace Whizzer. Not really Demon, but the kids get a headache on that ride anyway. Iron Wolf and Superman still have only 2 inversions. Of course, Iron Wolf is not the best to be a starter inversion coaster though. The wooden rides American Eagle and Viper have lower height restrictions too.

Why does Demon have such a lower height compared to the newer inversion rides? Is it as simple as younger kids are too small to get their head above the harness, and thus what happens at a ride like Demon is they bang them so B&M and new designs have higher restrictions? Demon has a 42 inch height while California Screamin and Rock N Roll Roller Coaster have 48 inches, and B&Ms are like 54 inches

[FParker185]

Actually height restrictions are more a factor of maturity than how they fit in the ride. Demon and ShockWave had the exact same trains in every way except road wheel size, yet Demon is 42" and Shockwave was 54".

[vprlvr456]

^^ Read three times.... still don't get it

[FParker185]

the trains on Shockwave could accomodate a 42" rider, but the height restriction was 54". The average age of someone who's 42" tall wasn't deemed mature enough to be able to handle ShockWave.

Like the Timberliners, Voyage will keep the 48" height requirement, however the trains can safely hold someone down I think they said 36".

[Jcoaster95]

^Kind of like how some Wisdom coasters have a 48" height requirement (36" with adult) because of their intensity.

[onyxhotel08]

Shockwave was 54''?!

[Chitown]

^Yes.

[onyxhotel08]

Wikipedia says 4 feet 6 inches

[guitarhero119]

Wikipedia says 4 feet 6 inches

Which magically equals 54 inches.

[vprlvr456]

learn measurement

What has Happened to This Forum?

[onyxhotel08]

This has become mind-numbingly dumb.
