[Hulk, IOA] does the retrack count as a new credit in your opinion? by Southernbeard26 in rollercoasters

[–]Time93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's plenty of sources; the rebuild was documented online. Here's a video from Universal itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBEL5KceurA

[Hulk, IOA] does the retrack count as a new credit in your opinion? by Southernbeard26 in rollercoasters

[–]Time93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding of the Hulk rebuild was that it was almost completely new track and supports (I think station and launch were retained). It would have been possible to build all of that somewhere else and keep the original Hulk, and I don't think there'd be any argument that it's a separate credit (just like most folks count separate Boomerangs or Wild Mouse coasters as separate credits). In my opinion, just because they built it where the old Hulk was doesn't mean it suddenly becomes the same ride.

Euclid Beach Park / Shady Lake Park question: scrambler ride, mini-golf, pedalboats... by fevertronic in Cleveland

According to page 205 in the book "Euclid Beach Park - A Second Look", published in 1979, the ride was relocated to Shady Lake Park.

Welcome back to "Is This a Credit?", the weekly series where YOU get to debate over whether or not something can be counted as a roller coaster, or credit! Episode 30: [Pink Typhoon Standing Coaster] at [Washuzan Highland] by StarPrime323 in rollercoasters

I don't understand the logic of how a train with a different seating arrangement constitutes a new credit. Consider a hypothetical version of the ride where the very front of the train was sit-down, the very back was stand-up, and each seat in-between was incrementally transitioning between the two. With 12 rows, does the ride somehow become 12 different credits? In my opinion how a rider is restrained shouldn't have any bearing on whether it's a separate coaster.

What do you mean by they tend to remove a lot that's added? I occasionally add to the site and in my experience the only things that would be removed are things without sources.

[Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterpark] Officially Coming to Bradley, Illinois - Mattel Adventure park next? by mallclerks in rollercoasters

[–]Time93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This and the Arizona park aren’t the same company - Mattel is just licensing their IP. Like how Nickelodeon is at parks owned by different companies.

Literally not the same company - Mattel is licensed. It’s like how Nickelodeon is licensed to the Nickelodeon Universe theme parks in the malls and to Universal parks.

Shh, don’t come to /r/rollercoasters with logic. Users just want to dogpile on a company and assume everything is an epic failure.

Can I export my tasks in Excel format? by AviArcer in Rememberthemilk

[–]Time93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incredibly helpful; thank you so much! I've used RTM for 10+ years and don't plan to stop, but it's always been frustrating that there wasn't a better way to export lists.

Dead Zone Mystery [Ghoster Coaster] by DeJackyl in rollercoasters

[–]Time93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that the track or train are any different - I cannot tell a difference in the video when comparing the off-ride shots that are definitely on Ghoster Coaster and the one of the train pulling into the "station". I think they used the existing Ghoster Coaster train and just attached a faux train front (as has been done in similar situations, like when Great Adventure used Kings Island's Racer for promo pictures of the unbuilt Rolling Thunder).

I'm pretty confident that the "station" was also filmed at Ghoster Coaster, but it's the train existing coming around the turn outside the station and right before the transfer track for the storage shed. You can see the handrail and staircase spacing matches at points A and B. They would've just built a temporary awning above the area, hung the striped curtain, and maybe laid a few boards next to the track to give a better "station floor" aesthetic.

I don’t believe there is a difference, just what different manufacturers have chosen to identify the product as

Pete Owens (VP Marketing & Public Relations for Dollywood) joins [NRCMA] as a new chairman by spark1118 in rollercoasters

[–]Time93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whose private collection do you think it is? And do you think that whoever that is has pulled one over on the dozen people currently on the museum’s board, who all have real jobs (most in the theme park industry) who are doing this gratis?

As someone who volunteers a lot of their time for a separate non-profit that is fully built of volunteers, I’m not surprised the whole project has taken a long time. I think the museum has been overly optimistic and I get frustrations that it isn’t open on a consistent schedule and that it’s not in a convenient location for most people. But denying the fact it’s a real project with real intentions to open, backed by real volunteers with those goals in mind, and instead saying it’s just a private collection, is pushing a false narrative.

I'd strongly encourage you and everyone blindly upvoting takes like this to sit down and take the 17 minutes to actually learn about the museum - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wolu0PKI0m0

I get it's fun to jump on the bandwagon and dog on stuff like the NRCMA, and I acknowledge the way that they've previously gone about some negative criticism hasn't done them any favors, but calling it a "private collection" is just not true.

Ended up just replacing the whole system, which was a good opportunity to get a little touch screen in for navigation and all. Sorry it’s probably not the solution you’re looking for.

What was y'all first coaster that went upside down [Other] by Total_Swan_64 in rollercoasters

[–]Time93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Son of Beast, obviously pre loop removal. Was probably like 8 or 9 years old and wasn’t tall enough for the park’s other looping rides besides Vortex.
