    Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Disney

    Re: Magic Kingdom | 7 Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Vekoma/Dis Always impressive how well they can theme something to look aged and natural, but not dirty.

    Six Flags Great America | Goliath | RMC Woodie

    Thought they'd stated that the storage track is under the station.

    SFMM | Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers | Zamperla FGC-80STD

    Re: SFMM | Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers | Zamperla FGC-80S And how. The park is desperately in need of anything to do besides coasters.

    Nigloland | Alpina Blitz | Mack "Mega Coaster"

    While there are clearly differences between this and the Mega-Lite, those differences are pretty subtle. I'll be surprised if it isn't just as fun, though.

    Dollywood 2016 Roller Coaster

    They have plenty of area for expansion, nothing needs to be removed to put something large in.

    Family coaster derails at Adlabs Imagica, India

    Seen the picture? It was the back two cars that completely derailed. The last one was rotated right more than 120-degrees and the car before it was rotated left about 70-degrees.

    2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's)

    Re: 2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's I beg to differ. I'm complaining that people are trying to skew the results intentionally and thus not voting. For three consecutive years, I helped write the ballots, incorporating the necessary additions and deletions, and...

    Notable Deaths 2014

    Lionsgate has made a statement, in addition to the usual sympathy sounds, they made sure to mention that PSH's parts of Mockingjay Part 1 were all in the can, and that he'd finished all but seven days of scheduled shoots for part 2. They believe this won't affect the release dates in any way...

    Super Bowl XLVIII

    How else did you think they could win it? They weren't going to outscore Denver if it turned into a shootout. They had to shut down Denver's offense. With the best defense in the league, they were bound to score points from the defense side of the ball.

    2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's)

    Re: 2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's I haven't ridden Voyage since early in the second season, but those who've ridden recently say that it's better than it has ever been. Voting it as no better or worse than the Scooby Doo Ghoster Coasters is pretty obviously biased...

    Super Bowl XLVIII

    If the Seahawks do win, Seattle is going to go ape$h!t crazy. I mean they schedule a riot every year on May 1st, so yeah.

    Liseberg | Helix | Mack Megacoaster

    I can't tell for sure, but it looks like UpSwinget just got more interesting.

    Sochi Park Adventureland | Quantum Leap | Vekoma GIB

    While those are better, if that's the current status, they still have a lot of work to do.

    2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's)

    Re: 2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's With so little separating the top tier coasters, a couple votes could have been the difference between the #1 and #3 coasters, or 7th and a higher position. ...and if the ballots in question have a lot of coasters, then the coaster...

    Dollywood | Firechaser Express | Gerstlauer Dual Launch

    It's Dollywood. Who would expect something ugly from Herschend? (Can't blame the garbage at 7-Credit Park on Herschend. (Wild Adventures))

    Sochi Park Adventureland | Quantum Leap | Vekoma GIB

    WTF? The Olympics are in what? Two weeks? That other, yellow coaster isn't even close to done. I'd read some very recent stories that there could be a LOT of problems with the Olympic venues this year, and yet others that read like propaganda...

    Portaventura SesamoAventura Big Bird Rights

    Usually a costumed Sesame Street character will be Elmo or maybe Grover. Big Bird is a very unusual sized costume/puppet compared to 99% of the others, even across other companies. Usually, Entertainment has women of smaller stature wearing most of the costumes, (with exceptions) and IIRC, Big...

    2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's)

    Re: 2013 Internet Wooden Roller Coaster Poll (Mitch Hawker's Some people are calling party foul on Voyage's ranking. There are ballots with it ranked tied with kiddy woodies.
