Well NOW who are we supposed to mercilessly roast now that rwhiner69 got himself b&?

I actually liked it more as Mantis, but that's probably because I'm a manlet and stand-up restraints just never bothered me. It's kind of a mixed bag these days. Sometimes Rougaroo gives glass smooth rides, and other times it's super rattly and I need to ride defensively in the 2nd half. Back...

Neat, I saw that on a fan page and didn't know if it was legit, or just a Photoshop. Hope they go with the dark blue

This is purely conjecture and I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect a lot of these parks are cutting corners to compensate for understaffing. It's what I thought when the El Toro incident happened (another likely maintenance issue) and the shoe definitely fits for this one. If that's the case, I'm...

Why would being SBNO make the structure more likely to deform? Regardless of weather conditions, I'm pretty sure wear and tear is more likely if the structure is experiencing forces MORE often, not less. You seem to think that structural material acts similarly to human muscle (you get sore if...

@Rupert beat me to it. I think this is a cool change! I always thought PFN hours were too short to do everything you'd want to do, so this seems like a better approach.

I honestly think re-painting to the OG colors would be cool. Their souvenir cups had vintage Steel Phantom artwork on it, so it's a possibility. Other than that, the only change I'd hope for is maybe replacing the straight track after the first drop with a mini airtime hill like SteVe? I...

Ohio Department of Agriculture press release regarding the incident, if anyone's interested.

Why are there so many rollercoasters named "Comet" or "Thunderbolt" or "Wildcat" or "Big Dipper" but no rollercoasters named "Parmigiano Reggiano"

Bumping this thread since I saw my first metal show since the pre-Covid era on Monday. Deicide/Kataklysm/Internal Bleeding/Begat the Nepheleim/2 local bands whose names I didn't catch. It was a ton of fun. Kataklysm is one of my favorite bands (even their stupid stuff is like pizza, it's...

I like positive G's. Rides without noticeable intensity feel flat to me. I don't really gray out on that many rides. No ride on Titan, no batman clone, no Schwarzkopf loop has ever got me even close to graying out. The first overbank on Millie sometimes does it, and the very very end of the...

I went to see The Green Knight last weekend at my local Alamo Drafthouse and I enjoyed it. There's not really too much to say about it - the plot is, as I understand, a pretty straight-forward interpretation of the original poem with a few creative touches here and there, but really that's all...

I respectfully kind of disagree with this. There isn't a scientific definition of what counts as "airtime", but even if you're going to argue that feeling a negative G-force is airtime, it's still reasonable to say that people enjoy floating or being lifted from their seats as a result of...

Ew, are those B&M vest restraints?

It was a joke lol. I bet you're a ton of fun at parties.

You're forgetting that the picture also included the SKY. As in SKY ROCKET II. And 2 HEARTS, like the Roman numeral II. I, for one, welcome our new SR2 overlords. (This thread is seriously worse than Smash dlc speculation)

Did they say if this is going to get streamed somewhere? I want to see the glorious reveal of SFFT's new Zamperla spinning mouse in real time

Or it's going to be a giant pile of sh*t EDIT: jokes aside, Matterhorn straddles the border of Switzerland and Italy, so Zamperla is still very much on the table. Sorry. EDIT 2: Although on second thought that does kind of look more like the northern (Swiss) side than the southern side. Feel...

Saw a couple recently: Bad Genius is a Thai film I watched the other night. It's a lot of fun - it's basically a heist movie, but instead of actually stealing stuff, it revolves around a very intelligent schoolgirl finding increasingly elaborate ways to help her (rich) friends cheat at tests...
