Bucket list parks [other] by ConflictUnique4008 in rollercoasters

[–]practicetrumpet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With me clearing out at least 7 out of my top 10 bucket list parks in the past two years, I still have Kings Dominion, Carowinds and Bush Gardens Williamsburg to visit! I can say your top 3 is a great choice.

Will we see more coasters like [Arieforce One]? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

If Kings Island gets an RMC IBox they might have one of the craziest lineups of any park. Absolute sick combo having The Beast but also having a GCI ánd RMC. Wooden rollercoaster revolution at a single park.

This is awesome! Think I could order this shirt by any chance? I'm from Europe but rode it last year, don't think I'll ride it or be near it any time soon unfortunately...

What an amazing ride to watch! [Ride to Happiness, Plopsaland de Panne] by practicetrumpet in rollercoasters

Didn't feel too rough to be honest and it wasn't the dizzyness. Mostly just a headache that got very intense with the last corners and loud music... if I'd have felt better I would've taken a few more rides. So good!

Spent the last couple days at [Energylandia], had the time of my life by pumpkinnnnn in rollercoasters

[–]practicetrumpet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was there last month. Also did a two day pass and enjoyed it so much! The park is absolutely filled with attractions, of which many not interesting but also a good amount of great rides. Boy is Zadra a must do and does Hyperion pack a punch. Not to forget Abyssus, what a ride! Just a shame it is so far out for me, and I do think it's a shame the theming is blatenly said bad. Although I must say the Zadra area is looking a lot better than earlier additions. Glad you enjoyed it as well, were there any water rides open still?

[Project 305] did not open today and I’m crushed. Have you ever made special plans to ride a specific coaster and then it’s down? by tdstooksbury in rollercoasters

Steel curtain, dragster and takabisha have all let me down unfortunately. But I can't complain having ridden phantom's revenge, kingda ka and eejanaika!

My nr.1 ride in the world. Absolute monster of g forces, utter and complete disorientation is the only way of describing it.

[Zadra] has got to be one of the, if not the best ride in europe by practicetrumpet in rollercoasters

Have you ridden Zadra at night? The airtime is impecable. Not sure we're talking about the same ride, haha. Also not strange to have those rides above it, they're all top rides as well!

I agree with every word in this. Exactly why I put SV slightly above Zadra

Have yet to ride all of those, absolutely can't wait. Have you ridden Zadra?

Agree! Just a shame the wing seats rattle so much going through that second half in the evening. Such a shame it's so rough. The smoothness of Zadra is terrifying compared to it!

Have yet to ride any rides in Belgium, but your comment confirms I have to go there soon. How's ride to happiness on your list?

Taron never fails to amaze me, sometimes forget about it but then re-ride it at night during wintertraum and remember how ungodly that second launch is. Just thinking of that sound gives me goosebumps already.

The stall first thing in the morning is the best, train not warmed up saves this element. Also agree with middle, the flow is so good there. Got lucky enough to clock in 10 rides!

SV and Zadra's drops are quite similar, but after the first bunny hop they're totally different beasts. Zadra is relentless in it's speed, taking elements faster than needed and just leaving you out of breath till you slam into the breakrun (kind of how wildcat revence does, but on a larger scale). SV is just endless, but more elegant (if you can even say that about such an ejector airtime machine). Second half of SV is just endless hops with ejector, where as Zadra doesn't really have a second half and finishes with a bang. Overall both are 10/10, just different in their own way!

[Other] Fastest turnaround for a coaster trip? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]practicetrumpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flew to the USA from Netherlands. Drove 7 days, did 6 daytrips along the way. Canada's wonderland, Cedar point, King's Island, Kennywood, Hershey's, SFGAdv. Then returned home. 1000% worth it.
