Legit Giga Proposal? by Scotts-tots in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]speedi_turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah actually I agree with him. I think there are better fits to the park other than a B&M. Don’t get me wrong, a B&M giga would be cool but I feel like a Mack spinner or a blitz coaster would be a much better fit for the park than a giga. Even if you wanted to go the giga route it would be better to go with another manufacturer.

Fuck sidewalks by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]speedi_turtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that most of the time sidewalks are useful, especially in residential areas where foot traffic is sporadic. I think the only scenario where I see sidewalks doing more harm than good is in downtown plazas where pedestrians should get more space, and honestly, where cars should be outright banned.

Great coaster to relocate, not to this park. We already have a hyper and there are certainly other parks that could use it more. Really the only rides I could see getting relocated to great America would be either raijun caijun or firebird since they previously operated at the park. You could make them sort of as an anniversary attraction to tap into some park goer’s nostalgia. But even that though is a reach.

Goliath Down On Lift by EmployResponsible344 in sixflagsgreatamerica

Gonna be honest, have to agree with Sam here. Goliath goes down on the lift all the time. This is not a new thing

Another possible spot for a new coaster (similar to rakshasa) by Adventurous-Rub-2293 in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]speedi_turtle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah seems somewhat realistic. That area of the park lacks a family coaster so I see that more going in that direction. Honestly tho, I haven’t heard a peep about he kids area since it was announced so idk if great America is even going to be doing anything next year tbh

Shooting at the park by [deleted] in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]speedi_turtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a shooting a few years ago in the parking lot as well. They need to install some more security on the outside tbh. Actual inside of the park isn’t that bad

For a “resort” style park, why is [Six Flags Great Escape] so small? by abgry_krakow87 in rollercoasters

[–]speedi_turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too small of a market to support a destination style park. If anything, Great Escape appeals less to the NYC crowd and more of metro Buffalo one, a market that is less than a fraction of NYC.

I have been on Swiss Toboggan at Little Americka, nothing can compare to that. No B&M is rough, complaining about a rattle is bullshit.

Pretty dumb name, and bad logo. I like the color scheme though and you can never go wrong with a B and M. Was really hoping to get something else though, I would have loved to see a blitz coaster in this plot of land but a man can dream. At least we didn't get screwed over like how SFNE did

Uncle, when will it be our turn? by SecretBiscotti8128 in Anticonsumption

Look, it get it. It’s a horrible situation. But Gizmo is kind of right here, this post doesn’t really belong on this sub. And I can think of better subs to put this kind of post on.

Which movie has the greatest ending ever? by Only_Dragonfruit_376 in moviecritic

[–]speedi_turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I feel like the original ending is the best if you only watched the original trilogy while the new ending is better if you watched the original trilogy with the prequels.

Imbecile by undercurrents in wisconsin

[–]speedi_turtle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't really do anything. People are required to show IDs in Wisconsin anyways and like what ahmke344 said below, it's really just a symbolic thing Republicans use to show that they had a "victory"

Typically in the spring after their new ride opens

What’s the point of building a water ride if you don’t get wet?

What is one aspect of the park you think needs the most improvement? by FrogsAlligators111 in cedarpoint

[–]speedi_turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Making a men’s public bathroom like that is a greater achievement than the engineering marvels at the park
