I come off of that ride with a headache 99% of the time. It's gotten that bad. Some may like it, but I'm not a fan. Perhaps the only pro for the ride is the twister style layout. Now lets pretend Hershey did get rid of it. What would you prefer to takes its place? Maybe an RMC treatment? It...

Based on your own experiences at amusement parks, what's the worst weather conditions you've experienced where they still allowed ride operations for all coasters? (e.g.: Extreme downpour, light drizzle, hail, tornado, ect.) From what I know, it varies from park to park, but I'm just curious...

I've always been curious, how do hyper drops compare to dive machine drops airtime wise, intensity wise, ect? As I will be riding my first Dive machine and B&M hyper this summer (Griffon & Apollo) this seemed like an appropriate topic. One more thing: I feel like Apollo will give me a bad...

Over the 2012 season, on my visits to Kings Dominion and Hershey Park, I noticed a couple of riders who strapped their iPods to their arms and listened to the song of their choice while on i305 and Fahrenheit. The ride ops didn't seem to care, most likely since the iPods were securely strapped...

...ever hit a max vertical angle of 90 degrees? I’m talking mainly about B&M and Intamin. (Excluding dive machines.) Usually the normal vertical angle for a B&M hyper coaster is 75 degrees, with the exception of Leviathan hitting 80(considered a giga). Intamin usually hits 80-85 degrees, but...

Peppermint is too "minty" for my taste. Spearmint has more satisfying flavor. (Sweeter, more "herby"...)

Sun bleaching completely ruins a coasters beauty IMO. Some parks need to re-paint a few of their coasters. One ride in particular would be Storm Runner @ Hershey. Any others that are in dire need? Before: After: (Didn't find a thread about this yet. Tell me if one already exists.)

I haven't found a thread about this yet, so I decided to ask what restraints give riders the best/most comfortable experience in your opinion. For me it would have to be Intamin's lap bars featured on MF, TTD, Xcelerator, ect. They give you a lot of freedom to move around and are quite comfortable.
