Nice bit of nostalgic history here! Funny to be able to see my first RCT and NL creations. Cheers to Oscar for keeping it online, unlike any of the other sites I can remember from those days!

Hepta checking in! Lots of familiar names in this thread. Looks like I registered in 2005... wow. Haven't paid attention to, or even ridden a roller coasters in 10 years... wow things have changed and gotten awesome! Life has a funny way...

Me and my associates are poor and can't afford anything better than Natty and Aristocrat. Oh well. And on that note, I have never blacked out or not been able to remember things when I drink. I've puked a few times but it was because of chugging, not because of alcohol poisoning. For me the simplest...

Originally posted by rcking04 Originally posted by Hepta I only got to ride Montu once, so maybe I didn't have enough time to fully appreciate the ride, but I do remember that the trim killed it at the end. Check again, the only trim that is used occasionally on Montu is before the batwing, which i...

Well I have ridden both of them, and I must give Alpengiest a slight win over Montu. I only got to ride Montu once, so maybe I didn't have enough time to fully appreciate the ride, but I do remember that the trim killed it at the end. I thought it was very comparable to Alpengiest in terms of invers...

I think everyone in this thread should watch a few clips from "The Union", an award winning documentary about cannabis. Straight facts and no bullpoop. I will personally shoot down any argument with facts that any person has about why cannabis should stay illegal. Go ahead, try me. Here's an interes...

^Yeah he seemed really dramatic. I refuse to believe one modern coaster could cause so much pain...

^He has a vast complete knowledge of Asian rollercoasters.

^lol can you actually ride that? looks fun [8D]

I've ridden Griffon at least 100 times, starting with the first preview day, and I am ...

I see you are a structural engineer. Nice

Supposedly the loop pulled a ridiculous 10gs. All of Anton's loops are killers because he purposely designed them more circular than typical modern loops.

Only a mad genius like Schwarzkopf himself could have come up with such an inversion...

^Yeah I'm diggin it.

I'll be on the last train...

Originally posted by Real I have. Was one of my favourite parts of my high school education. However, the very essence of capitalism is essential for any economy or government. I still believe you are stretching this by basing it off of a couple instances where a few ruined it for the masses. I wou...

Originally posted by Real Huh? Nice super stretch of the imagination there man. I have been eating the same beef, never gotten sick. I dont know of any sweat shops in the US and seriously doubt we will ever again. You cant even spank a kid and not get busted, let alone subject them to that. Neither...

I'm sick and tired of all you Socialism bashers. Lets try an experiment where the class is a complete free market. It would be up to every individual to get whatever grade they wanted. Don't forget who gives the grades. Mr. Professor. He can pass or fail whoever he likes and for whatever reason he w...

Yeah honestly I don't understand why everyone gets so worked up over him posting jet coasters. He's posting about roller coasters in a forum dedicated to roller coasters, on a website that is about roller coasters. I don't see where the problem is. You guys are seriously immature if you can't respec...

Kings Island has shut down the Son of Beast roller coaster amid a state investigation. The Ohio Agriculture Department, which oversees amusement park ride safety, confirms an investigation is underway into something involving the ride. The state will not say what sparked the probe. A spokesperson f...

I went to the park the other day, and I did ride BBW. It made me even more sad to ride it, because it is an awfully fun ride. Its like 20 times more fun at night too.

Right when I got off, they had to close it for maintainece...

Makes me very sad.

Originally posted by Real 2 seats wide means its horrible capacity? Hmm...Im not sure how that works, a lot of 2 wide trains have awesome capacity. Millennium Force, Maverick, Dragster (when not breaking down), Magnum!, Voyage... I never said the terrible capacity was a result of only being 2 seats...

It's been a week and my topic still hasn't been moderated? Is there something I'm missing here?

As your village guru of Busch Gardens Europe, it saddens me to bring this news here, but it is semi-confirmed that this will be the last season for the Big Bad Wolf. As much as this is depressing to almost every enthusiast, and I know I will be shot down with this news, it is inevitable. It has been...
