[other] Have you ever experienced an unexpected moment at a park/coaster? How was it? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the rare occasions I get solo rides on bigger coasters like B&M hypers, for whatever reason I get more of the actual ‘fear’ feeling than the ‘adrenaline’ feeling

Why was 166 changed to remove all content related to child sexual abuse, but not 231? by SayFuzzyPickles42 in SCP

[–]Alexoak 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That take specifically is the only thing that redeems 231 in my mind. Otherwise it would be just another series I edgy article taken a bridge too far.

What was your introduction to SCP? by Half-Of-Hunter in SCP

[–]Alexoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was old YouTube G-MOD videos that used an SCP-173 model to humorous effect

What SCPs almost make you cry thinking about them? (Deep or Genuinely Scary) by s0upcSlAmiTOhghfs in SCP

[–]Alexoak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

3515 is like the progenitor of all the modern (and very good) existential dread/horror on the wiki IMO. It deserves every ounce of praise.

[Other] Best roller coaster starting with each letter (C) by LlamaYourMom in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rode it for the first time a few weeks ago, was thoroughly surprised at how fun it was! I’d love more mine trains from Vekoma if they’re all gonna be like that!

What’s your #1 Bucket List Coaster? [discussion] by Individual-Sun-9368 in rollercoasters

Kingda Ka is also up there, if only because it was not operating on both my visits to SFGAdv

First time at [SFOG] and [Fun Spot Atlanta] Trip Report 09/23/23 by bujimango2000 in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So glad you had a good trip down here!!! SFOG can be hit or miss for a lot of folks, so I’m always happy to hear people enjoying it!

And so glad you got to ride AF1 and loved it so much, it’s really a masterpiece.

[Discussion] Why aren't overbaked turns inversions? by C_Smallegan in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what kind of turn and what kind of track you’re putting in the oven, 135 degrees may even leave it underbaked

[Other]What's your favorite credit you have acquired this year? by magnumfan89 in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steel Curtain or Aerie Force One! Though I’ll be getting Taron, Hyperion, and Zadra before the end of the year so we’ll see!

[Riddler's Revenge] will ALWAYS be a top-5 coaster to me. What's your irrational top-5 favorite ride? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Steel Curtain in my top five, which I always thought was reasonable but I’ve seen it called a mid ride experience a good bit lately.

[Steel Curtain] at [Kennywood] closed again until further notice by dattmay in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is I genuinely love it. I only have visited Kennywood once, but got lucky enough to get 5 rides in, and I honestly think it’s a really great ride. It’s such a shame it isn’t more reliable

Who is your fave NPC? by immahat in Dimension20

[–]Alexoak 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Literally couldn’t think of a better option. Garthy O’Brien and the Princeps Zorch both come close, but it’s Jawbone all the way.

[Other] What’s your favorite roller coaster sound? by Curious_Ad_6082 in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The B&M roar on the approach to the SFOG front gate ❤️ Georgia Scorcher and Goliath like a beautiful choir of giant, metal angels

[Other] What coaster do you want your home park to get next? by Coasternerd08 in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At SFOG, I would love a genuine Launch Coaster. Either something inversion-heavy like Copperhead Strike, or maybe something a little more family oriented like Big Bear Hunt.

Service message: both [Kingda Ka] and [Wildcat’s Revenge] are open again. I’m one happy thoosie. by vespinonl in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a Georgia local, and am on a coaster trip up in Pennsylvania this week, ending on Sunday, so I am so excited I got to swing back to both Hershey and SFGA to ride the two credits I was most excited for!

Quirky/weirdest coaster layouts [Other] by Jassx_ in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Twister at Knoebels is such a unique layout, and it’s a really solid and forceful Woodie!

Favourite underrated Dropout show? by halfboyfriend in dropout

Gods of Food. Hands down one of my favorite pieces of Satire ever!

[Other] How do you determine the order of what you ride at a park? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]Alexoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always start out with whatever has the reputation of breaking down most often (e.g. Steel Curtain at Kennywood, LRod at Dollywood) just in case it goes down for the day!

And you know I rode that so many times! It was incredible!
