    Four New Coasters for Cedar Fair Opening 2018

    Has S&S put anything in a Cedar Fair park in 'recent history'? The only thing I can think of are the towers, which would have been late 90's/early 00s. An S&S Free Fly, perhaps?

    Great Coaster Names That Haven't Been Used Yet.

    Thunderball. The term for the mushroom cloud that appears after a nuclear explosion (hence the Bond book/film in which nuclear weapons are stolen being called Thunderball). Would work for maybe a launch coaster or even a shot or drop tower.

    The offical anti-joke thread.

    My friend tried viagra once. It got stuck in his throat, and he had a stiff neck for ages! Well, until he eventually choked to death on it.

    Rides with misleading names...

    Isn't that that roller coaster that's located on a steep gradient? It was in the weird coaster thread.

    Crazy Mouse for Dreamland

    It is, IMO, not worth it. Except for the Scenic Railway cred. The other rides are common fairground rides, Waltzers, scramblers etc. It's a shame because they have the classic, rare rides in storage, rotting away, whilst this tiny park can somehow justify taking up space for TWO identical...

    Dumb park restrictions

    Well, it's not going to fly off the tracks, is it? I presume the rain rule only applies when it actually is raining. I mean, the track is still going to be slippery after it rains, isn't it? If all roller coasters were shut down because the tracks a bit slippery, I can only presume British Rail...

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (so far).

    At least we can agree that a) the Darth Maul battle is epic and b) the prequels are trash. Especially Sith. I have never been more frustrated with a movie than Sith,

    Ugliest Coaster

    I think Volcano looks good as well. I actually really like the purple used for the supports, but weirdly, even though the volcano itself is obscured, I think it would look ugly if the volcano wasn't there.

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (so far).

    Come on, ROTJ has everything. You know it to be true. Best space battle? Check - battle of Endor. The Luke v Vader lightsaber battle is awesome, so is Vader's redemption (minus the special edition Noooooooo). Leia in a bikini - awesome. It also gave us Jabba, another plus.

    A horse walks into a bar. Turns out it now has a broken nose.

    Most Beautiful coaster

    I think the best looking coasters are the shiny, bright coloured B&Ms. The only bright colour one I don't like is Nitro. Hydra looks great, as do the black and yellow Batmans, and Leviathan, to name a few. Don't like the B&Ms with white/grey supports though, like Intimidator and Fury 325. For...

    Ugliest Coaster

    I think any plain white coaster looks ugly really. Especially when the rust starts to show. On the contrary, I really like white wooden coasters, in fact I think it looks better than natural wood.

    Ride types that just... died out?

    It's got to be B&M stand up. The last new one was 1999, and two have already been converted to Floorless. If anything the dying out of the stand up has really bough Floorless coasters back. Outside of Asia the B&M flyers have died out really, I mean most outside of Asia were all in America...

    Well, I think we all know Parque Ecoalberto's budget for this year went on ladders.

    USF to add 2017 ride themed around... Jimmy Fallon?

    Sometimes I wonder why some parks put in rides like this. I mean, how many people are now planning a trip to Universal because a Jimmy Fallon ride is being built? Surely this is a case where the thing that's getting people in tha park is the fact that a new ride exists, rather than the content...

    Olympia-Looping at London's German Christmas Market

    Was very impressed with OL, did a ride in front seat, back seat and a middle row. Front seat was best for me, even preferred it over the back row. Fantastic ride and glad I got the opportunity to ride it.

    Olympia-Looping at London's German Christmas Market

    Visiting next week, does anyone know any ideas for pricing of the smaller rides or the dark rides? And the price of Ice Mountain?
