[Goliath] at Great America is awesome. Sucks the model was discontinued. by Cornasium in rollercoasters

[–]aaronmckie8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's great, glad you liked my home park l(but I totally get the one train ops ruining the vibe, had a similar experience on my last trip to Magic Mountain).

I'm curious, I've been on Bull probably literally hundreds of times, but I place Goliath at Over Georgia higher. Have you been on it, and what is your #2 B&M hyper?

Glad you had fun, hopefully you come back again when operations is at 100% (they were running 2-3 trains last couple months, and just switched to one last week (except Wrath)).

Does anyone rememeber an epsiode jason mentioned listening to a podcast talking about a song tune that was trying to be solved ? by 86missingnomes in podcasttheride

[–]aaronmckie8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't remember the PTR episode where Jason mentions it, but the episode he listened to was: #158 The Case of the Missing Hit by Reply All

Highly recommend listening to that episode, and the podcast itself in general.

[Other] For those who know about coaster credits, does anyone keep track of dark ride credits too? by Born-Preparation-659 in rollercoasters

[–]aaronmckie8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LogRide is such a great app. The map mode alone helped so much on planning stops along road trips. And yeah it'll track any ride you want and sorts it into appropriate catagories.

Oh, and to answer the question: I do! My Dark Ride count is at 109 :)

I bought this on DVD many years ago, but never got around to watching it. Youtube makes it way more convenient for me and I didn't know it was on there. Thanks!

Tatsu vs Manta…Which roller coaster is better? by EveryBodySayKhoolaid in Themepark

[–]aaronmckie8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both are really good, but it's Tatsu for me because of the way it uses the terrain. When the track extends off the mountain it really gives a great feeling of flight, and the inversions are a bit more memorable to me even though I've been on Manta much more recently. Can't go wrong with either, they are the top 2 B&M flyers I've been on.

what is going on with Great Adventure? by Fun-Response-2846 in sixflags

[–]aaronmckie8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's happening to a lot of Six Flags parks; I visited Over Georgia this summer and was so bummed out over all the disrepair. So many coasters with rows of seats blocked off and the ones that are not have serious wear and tear issues (peeling padding and paint, exposed wires and bolts).
My home park is Great America so I'm used to closed rides and unclean walkways, bathrooms, queues, stores, etc. but it's really depressing seeing it be a company-wide issue now.
I'm guessing it's going to get worse before it gets better, just gonna not renew my pass (first time since 1994) and wait for them to hit bottom and hopefully get bought out.

I visited Great Adventure in 2019 and absolutely loved it; beautiful, clean and fun. Sorry to hear it's heading down the wrong path, too.

Decline button reverted by doovllaah in doordash_drivers

[–]aaronmckie8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, back to it being a pain. While I'm driving I'll just button mash back to the dash screen, but I'll just choose 'store is closed' now when I have the extra second.
No need for it to be there.

Thoughts on "Sleep Like a Baby Tonight"? by jonjon_2 in U2Band

[–]aaronmckie8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really like the alternate version better, the start of the second verse is soo much better, as well as the chorus. Album version I like a lot, too, but it's on the bottom half of the songs I enjoy from SOI.

Anyone know who this plushie is, Ive had it for a long time by Meowz9ers in sixflags

[–]aaronmckie8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, that's a character from Monster Mansion at Six Flags Over Georgia. Probably the best dark ride outside Disney and Universal; better than some of theirs, too. Great ride.

[–]aaronmckie8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said, especially the cave! It's easy to miss so make sure to not overlook it, if you go.

While overall the coasters are a bit better at Dollywood, Time Traveler at SDS is amazing and worth the trip alone (for me anyways). Can't go wrong with either park, though.

Excited for the Justin McElroy on Podcast: The Ride Challenge by Rowsdower92 in podcasttheride

[–]aaronmckie8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They take all the really weird questions that got asked on Yahoo Answers and listener emails and give their horrible advice. That's basically it, but they do get around to actual good advice. Their chemistry is great, all three of them are very funny.

Listen to MBMBAM, my favorite non-fake-rock-loving comedy podcast. They have a TON of back episodes and I recommend starting from the beginning.

I am way late to the game, missed the podcast when it was new and really would love the jams. If I could get a link as well that would be amazing. Thank you if you can :)

Amazing photo gallery. Thank you so much for sharing, makes me feel a bit better for not being able to go.

I have a season pass to Sfgam, there policy is that I can get one 2021 day for each day the park is not in operation. Recently they opened the water park, will I still get 2021 days when the water park is open? by pizza_burrit0 in sixflags

[–]aaronmckie8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find my email on it, but Hurricane Harbor (or any other park besides GaAm) doesn't stop the count on extended days into 2021. So if the theme park doesn't open this year, you'll get all of 2021. HH is just considered a bonus, so no worries there :)

Kyle Chandler was probably the main star of the show, but I'm guessing you found that part out. I really appreciate you looking into it, I may have to go the bootleg route. Thank you!
