^ Hey man, next time you go to Great America ride it and see if it happens again. If it does not then maybe you were sitting funny and if it does maybe it has somthing to do with the way your body is. We all are different and a ride might not be a good ride to some and to others it is a great ride.

Edit: Hey CoasterCruiser, this is a forum where you can tell us you opinion and if people want to make fun of your opinion let them and just ignore them.

I know what turn your talking about. It only kind of hurts towards the back.

I will ride it again, and tell you how it was.

Thanks.

[coasterkidd100]

Your welcome! You go ride it again and tell me how it was.

Listen, I know I hardly post here, but I just wanted to comment on the Intamin 4d ride. I wouldn't want it either, but you guys should research a little more before you start bashing it. That particular one lasts 1:00. You should just click the "Facts" button before saying it's 10 seconds. These coasters move back and forth on each element.

Check out the video http://www.intaminworldwide.com/iag/ind ... &Itemid=32

I honestly really didn't mean to be mean, if it sounds like it.

[demonbulleagle]

Thanks for clarifying, but it has that prototype word again, so it has a 50% chance of working out (considering our last 2 prototypes and our luck.)

[saylorman47]

^^ And the other green one was plenty shorter than that prototype. A ball coaster would be cool though...

[coasterkidd100]

I think it would be cool to ride a ball coaster, I just don't want one at Great America.

[demonbulleagle]

I agree it would be fun, but the only place i would want it would be if they took out King Chaos (which we know it still has a long life left in it) but all of the other spots available are too big and it would be a waste of space, unless they put another circling around it!

[FParker185]

Already done my research, that intamin video is the prototype one with LIM's, none have been built to date, Kirnu and the one pictured before have a standard lift chain, then it just rolls through the course normally, net ride after the lift is about 10-15 seconds.

Observe...

is a Zac Spin vs a LSM Ball Coaster

What is the other prototype besides Deja Vu? Is the other one Batman? Iron Wolf was done before by another company (the stand up thing).

[demonbulleagle]

The other prototype was BTR.

[Trailblazer Tony]

Again with the capacity, our park doesn't need another ride with low capacity to open! Save the ball coaster for Holiday World or Iowa, we need a high capacity and reliable new ride added, especially if it's going in a large space that will draw lots of potential riders!

[saylorman47]

I guess were just going to have to wait awhile.

[Ilovthevu']

^^I rather see some flat ride that gets a longer line because it's a great ride compared to what we have now. We have so many flats, but they aren't really packed until the really packed days. A two wait for Orbit might be a horrible thing to people that go on walk-ons on the Orbit all the time. In my opinion, those rides don't help the park that much if people aren't waiting for them along with only being on the ride itself.

If Triple Play was another better and thrilling ride, than maybe Superman wouldn't be a hour and half along with some other roller coasters. This is because more people would be waiting in this other flat ride line along with being on the ride too.

[demonbulleagle]

The problem is that some flats are hidden, take Hometown Fun Machine, people only see it as they are walking out of the park and since a lot of people leave at closing they don't have time.

[coasterkidd100]

^ I have to agree, Hometown Fun Machine is very hidden.

^ I think we should get rid of the go carts but I don't think that whizzer is going anywhere. The Whizzer always has a line when I am there, I think they will get rid of IW before Whizzer.

I would always stand up for whizzer, and I still do, but I have 2 views on it. One pro, one con. My views for it are pro are that it is now an original classic that both the family, and older people will enjoy, and it should be kept in the park. The cons are it's getting old, and it's a shaky, lanky roller coaster. One time when I was on it, it was so rough, and my seat belt just came undone. They have car type seat belts too.. I think they should update the cars if they touch it. Overall, I would like it to stay. I love riding it at the end of the day.

[coasterkidd100]

^ Ya, it is getting older and rougher but I still think it will not go anywhere for a few years.

[demonbulleagle]

I don't think we have to worry that much about Whizzer going anywhere because of Shapiero's phase.

[coasterkidd100]

^ Ya, he would never get rid of a family ride.

[onyxhotel08]

Never say never. It's not about families it's about money. Money talks.

[coasterkidd100]

^Ya that is true!

[cycamps]

^^That is very true, however I don't see Whizzer going anywhere soon.

[frightfestkid]

New ride with water theme of some sort confermed for the 09 season in Vu's spot!
