I saw someone comment on a Wicked Twister video that Iron Dragon was a satanic name

When I first started working this summer I kept having dreams that I was operating my ride, but in every way possible I was messing it up. Sometimes I even woke up with my "high clear" 😂

It's been a while, hasn't it? Well...This ride is the reason why. Since early June 2021, I have had the honor of operating Wicked Twister in it's closing season; I even operated it on the last day. I never really had respect for this ride until this year. Whether it was operating the ride...

I'm gonna throw Shoot the Rapids into the ring here too! Honestly, despite my nostalgia for it...Disaster Transport because of the issues with the brakes AND the fact that despite being an indoor attraction, THE BUILDING WASN'T WATERTIGHT!

The last time I've heard anyone say it was back when it was announced, so yeah. Nobody says it anymore.

Personally, I think people (KI fanboys) just say that to find every single excuse they can to say Orion isn't a giga, thus being able to continue whining that Kings Island doesn't have a giga, and keep being the entitled pricks that they are. Yet again, this is coming from (probably) the...

Energylandia had SO. MANY. OPTIONS to choose from, and they arguably chose the worst possible option. While it could have been budget or space related, both the Vekoma offer and the first and 2nd Intamin offers look a lot better (based on the POVs) than the one that ended up being built. And...

Absooolutely. I know the 3 main offenders when it comes to coaster hair are Maverick, Millennium force, and Top Thrill Dragster, though I will say the pictures I can get on Magnum are awesome! I'll send some if I can find some with my longer hair.

- What are the significant differences between the three budgets? - Which situation has the highest cost of living? Why do you think that is? - If you are part of the lower class which budget item(s) could you trim/cut and what are essential?

DEFINITELY have to agree with this one! There are many things that were implemented that I honestly wouldn't mind staying. -Distancing the queue lines -Hand Sanitizer. Everywhere. -Maybe even somewhat sanitizing the trains still? Even then, from what I've experienced, I still felt much more...

Vekoma worked with Herschend on Wildwood Grove with their suspended coaster, and I think that got fairly positive reception? But they've definitely worked with Vekoma regardless.

Living in Ohio, I'd say I have a good selection to choose from for this thread 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Maverick 3. Orion 4. Millennium Force 5. Mystic Timbers 6. Top Thrill Dragster 7. Magnum XL-200 8. Diamondback 9. Raptor 10. The Beast

I've got another vote for Rougarou. Raptor's loud, but Rougarou is absolutely deafening, especially when the drop is RIGHT next to the entrance plaza.

That's a shame about Kennywood! though I didn't have the best day there, Kangaroo was one of my favorite rides there. Crazy fun ride, I really hope it gets relocated somewhere!

Coaster I like but others don't: Laff Trakk! This was my first Maurer spinning coaster, and everything about it exceeded my expectations. It was an absolute blast of a ride, the spinning was enough to make it fun but not too intense for my grandma to ride (she enjoyed it too!), the theming was...

Orion at Kings Island was my last new credit! I rode it on July 8th and got 2 rides on it, and I thought it was fantastic! My first ride was great, but my second ride I thought was a better experience. The "wave turn" provides such a unique sensation of airtime and I loved it! Each airtime...

I'd have to say Kings Island, with Orion (or Mystic Timbers honestly!) and Red Racer, which even despite the "retrack", was still garbage.

I'd say Splash Mountain has great theming, but in terms of layout and overall enjoyment? I've gotta say Ripsaw Falls. It's one of those rides that I honestly would've kept riding over and over again if I could!
