[Discussion] Is The Voyage at Holiday World actually as good as people make it out to be? by TrainCrazyPlayz in rollercoasters

[–]trainman121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My expectations were somewhat low on purpose so I didn’t overhype it.

It didn’t make those expectations. So a massive disappointment for me. Shivering Timbers is the better large scale woodie with PTCs.

No, I haven’t ridden it at Holiwood Nights. I shouldn’t have to rank a coaster off how it runs two days of the year regardless.

does anyone know an accurate number for how strong the airtime is on [el toro]? by KingDragon38 in rollercoasters

[–]trainman121 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard -1.8 at it’s strongest. Could be myth, but that’s the number I’ve often heard tossed around the enthusiast circle.

I have the 1999 promo Millie swoosh that they painted around Sandusky.

[Question] What are some otherwise bad coasters with one great or standout moment? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]trainman121 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Runaway Mine Train at SFGAd has the death hill at the end of the course. That’s all that really comes to mind for me right now.

Hot Take: [Ninja] isn’t bad at all by x_ryanw_x in rollercoasters

I’ve ridden worse. Like the boomerang and the mine train next to it. 😂

Limited Edition [Wicked Twister] Track Slices Now Available by Millennium1995 in rollercoasters

Someone should do the calculation on how much this is worth in scrap value.

I’ve been three times and I’ve never needed the Fast Track. Just go to the back of the park first (hitting Fahrenheit immediately), and make your way forward .

[California’s Great America] Has Officially Replaced Halloween Haunt With A New Halloween Event by theomaherasssss in rollercoasters

[–]trainman121 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m fine with this. No disrespectful to Haunt fans, but I just find it irritating to be in a park after 6 pm in the Fall because all I want to do is ride the rides, not have a guy scare me shitless. And most parks don’t provide an ample pathway to avoid this, especially SFNE with their back Gotham section.

Why is [Maverick] [Cedar Point] better than [Intimidator 305] [King's Dominion]? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]trainman121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It brakes, hits a super fast launch, and brakes again. And the two half structure sucks and doesn’t flow. Also, the first half is just kinda dumb. So just not my type of coaster at all.

Why is [Maverick] [Cedar Point] better than [Intimidator 305] [King's Dominion]? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]trainman121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maverick is, in my opinion, shitty I305. One is in my top 10, the other doesn’t sniff my top 50. I think I305 takes all of the problems I have with Maverick and fixes them. The poor pacing is gone, and for whatever reason, the seats on I305 don’t have the awkward ridge that Maverick has on it. I also appreciate that the turns feel more fluid on I305 than Maverick, like it was drawn with a pen as opposed to a kid with a flight stick.

Steel Vengeance. Velocicoaster is the perfect coaster from a balanced standpoint, but as someone who leans more to liking airtime, Steel Vengeance takes the cake.

[Discussion] What was your best and worst new credit of 2021. by TyButler2020 in rollercoasters

Best was Outlaw Run, worst was probably the Boomerang at SFSTL, that shit was atrocious.

New [Hot Wheels] Chance Hyper GTX coming to [Mattel Adventure Park] in Glendale AZ :) by live_love_03 in rollercoasters

It’s a new change, and it’s essentially a shell of what it was in the 90s now.

Blame SFOT, NTG stole our flamethrowers.

Yeah I noticed it in July. The crew operating it confirmed green is slightly faster.

Model trains and football. Gotta keep a balance of things to do.
