I'll take rollercoaster from Joyland, a very historic wooden rollercoaster that was closed down in 2003 but recently was reopened courtesy of numerous petitions and the like. This woodie not only offers a strong history as well as the ace coaster classic badge, but it also provides amazing airtime. It is also currently the only operating woodie designed by Schmeck&Allen together.

Isn't that the coaster in the park that was going to sale on Ebay awhile ago. I like how that one looks.

Here's another nice page about the rollercoaster at Playland. As is noted in the writing, the Rollercoaster features yet another great feature, single-position lapbars and a seatbelt. This means even more enjoyment out of the airtime that the ride delivers, making it a truly amazing ride especially considering it was made over 55 years ago.

Yea I dont like the Solid White. I think they need to paint the handrails and ties red or something.

Okay, I'll take Sky Wheel at Skyline Park.
For me, there is nothing like it in the world. Although short, the ride experience must be amazing - http://www.rcdb.com/qs.htm?quicksearch=skywheel

PS - I'm now in Spain for my exchange and I must say the country is amazing. The natural landscape is beautiful, the people are generally friendly, and the pub?????????s serve alcohol without ID...I think im in heaven.

I'll take Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios, Florida. ROTM is an 40 million dollar, intricately themed darkride/Premier rollercoaster; featuring launches, airtime, special effects like pyrtechnics, 3d bugs, and lots of animatronics, along with other surprises, making it an awesomely thrilling ride, suitable for families but satisfying to thrill seekers like most of us. Here are some comments from people who have ridden...

(RCGenius)-"The theming for it's one of the best themes that I've ever seen on a coaster, & the ride had a great story to it too. Now for the ride. I rode it in the back seat, & the ride experience was something else. Revenge of the Mummy had some great airtime on some of the drops & the scenery around it was truly awe-inspiring."

(Fireside)-"In all seriousness this ride is an action packed ride with some nice airtime and great visual effects. The queue line and fire effects help make this ride shine. It has a well themed slow portion a couple of nice effects a high-speed backward coaster segments and two high-speed normal coaster segments."

(Animan1)-"It is certainly a all-encompassing sensory masterpiece though, and the most thrilling ride at Universal Studios."

I can't really remember what I have already picked as the last link to the list doesn't work, but I think with this pick I'm going to go for my 'family' style ride. Whether it actually rides like a family ride or an adult ride is up to you! [devilish]

This round I pick Hei?????????e Fahrt, a Gerstlauer Bobsled type ride with crazy airtime, laterals, helixes of doom, tunnels and more!

I'm going to pick which ever of the Paramount park's Flight of Fear that haven't been taken. If they are all gone, then I'll take Mad Cobra at Sazuki Circuit.

Mad Cobra hasn't been operating since 2004 I believe, it was sent to some other place in China.

Its absolutely undoubtedly unexcusively seriously time to start designing your park. The final criteria are as follows.

1-must have a name
2-must have 2 things that set it apart from the other drafters parks. IE, no two drafters can offer free soda. What sets your park apart will be a first come first serve basis. The faster you email me (after the 12th round is over) the more likely you will get your choice.
3-you should type a 2-3 paragraph description of your park
4-you will have to have a sponsorship with one food company. IE, Papa Johns will provide your parks pizza
5-you must have a specific location for your park including pictures. If the spot isn't photographed, you can't have it. The location doesn't have to be a currently operating park or even where a park was planned, but it should be close to a large number of people or a prominent landmark.

Since this is the first time we're doing this park thing, if you feel there is anything wrong with the rules above, please contact me or post here. I'm sure we'll run across a problem with it sooner or later, better sooner.

I'll have the third great woodie at Mount Olympus, Zeus, probably the most intense coaster I've ever been on.
