    Parks With The Steepest Topography

    Something I never really thought about before, but I am always fascinated by terrain coasters and parks built into the side of hills or valleys. What parks out there have the steepest terrain? The two that come to mind are Kennywood and Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

    Vertical vs Greater than 90 degree drops

    It seems like when this comes up everyone is comparing dive machines to eurofighters, which is a little unfair considering most dive machines are larger. I would be interested to see how someone who has ridden Takabisha would compare the two. From my inexperienced standpoint I can only compare...

    Coasters you can't believe people hate

    I think the issue with the Great Bear is that the lift is only 90 ft. tall. Even though the first drop is much larger, its just naturally runs out of momentum faster than rides like Talon or Raptor which have 130ft lifts. Given the lack of height I think its an incredible ride, the helix...

    Name a Park, What You Think it Needs to Do, and How To Do It

    Re: Name a Park, What You Think it Needs to Do, and How To D Kennywood, take out a few of the flat rides and build a steel monstrosity of a coaster. Also lengthen the queue lines and hire more staff. Went there on Memorial day weekend, most rides were running 1 train, and almost all of the...

    RCT 3 Competition - Time Machine

    Jammyband: I think you should wait until the riders choice. I think people would rather see pictures once your laptop is fixed anyway. Furie: I think that will be ok, as long as it isn't a ridiculous amount (I'd say no higher than maybe seven or eight). I just don't want the smaller posts to...

    RCT 3 Competition - Time Machine

    Yes but they don't count as roller coasters since they are not powered by gravity. Most of the time a quick google search will give you an idea of wether the ride was around in that time period.
