Really? Someone fainted? That's especially surprising considering it's a) way up in Montreal, and b) on a LAKE. It must have been a heat wave or something. Anyway, the line's not usually too long if you go at the right time, and I have never seen anyone faint on it.
Airtime rides are great, especially the huge B&M hypers, like Nitro, Behemoth, etc. However, if you can find one with that great -gzs AND inversions, well...heaven on earth.
I wish I could've voted more than once. Extreme slides are my favorite, such as Summit Plummet, the highest body slide IN THE WORLD. I managed to hit 55 mph! Great fun.
Although, family raft rides and tornado slides are pretty great as well. I missed my chance to do a water...
The best woodies in my book are, in this order:
1. The right side of Le Monstre: SFLR
2. El Toro: SFGA
3. The left side of Le Monstre: SFLR
Also, the worst woodie ever to me (because of its exceeding roughness) was Hurler: King's Dominion.
Best effects:
1. The mid-ride elevator on Journey to Atlantis: SeaWorld San Diego
2. Signs et al. on Rock 'n' Rollercoaster: WDW
3. Flames+mist on the dive loop and interlocking corkscrews, respectively, on Bizarro: SFGA
I think the coasters are really what make this park. It's got Kingda Ka which has the appeal of being the world's tallest and (though this will disappear soon) fastest roller coaster, and El Toro, which also has several world's firsts. Not to mention the sheer amazing-ness of Bizarro and Nitro.
Pay-one-price is the best for one simple reason: if it's a day where there's NOBODY in the park, pay-one-price allows you to completely go [censored] WILD! If it's pay-per-ride, then the walk-on capacity is made significantly more bittersweet.
I agree that 120 is a bit much, but slightly over vertical is really quite cool. Farenheit especially so: the 98.6 degree drop (that is right; it was specifically designed to be ~98.6 degrees) makes you feel like you're just falling off the track or out of your seat. Also, though it probably...
My favorite is the water coaster, like Journey to Atlantis in SeaWorld San Diego. The fact that you get the smoothness of a roller coaster without the banging back and forth of the shoot-the-chutes, along with the splashes of water is just great. Not to mention the added "cool" factor of...
I will concede that SFNE's Bizzaro is a good ride. However, in my opinion, you just can't beat a B&M floorless for thrills. Bizarro was the first, you know.
No, nay, never! They're a waste of time, for several reasons:
1. There are almost ALWAYS roller coasters/other impressive rides to be ridden and credits to be earned.
2. The games are almost always rigged so it's nigh on impossible to win.
3. If you DO win, what do you do with the prize...
I don't think I would be able to build one of my own, but it'd be pretty awesome to ride one. I just wouldn't want to ride one that inverts, like Blue Flash. That's just asking for you to fall out and bust your head open. Blue Too seems a little tame as well. But that woodie? That would be...
Oh, VERY mature.
Anyway, the Mind Eraser at SFA really ruined the Vekoma SLCs for me. It was just so painful, and not particularly appealing as far as the design either. Since then, I just can't ride one without thinking about it, especially with the comments of "hit or miss" and similar...
There aren't a whole lot to choose from for me; I haven't gotten the opportunity to ride Xcelerator, or Mr. Freeze, or Hulk, though they are high on my list. As far as Ka goes, that's the top of my list. I went to SFGA before, but Ka was closed that day :evil:. Oh well. Here's the list of...
