Non-Enthusiasts Say The Darndest things...

[mkingy]

With insane amounts of planning, perfect conditions (including the ever problematic ground and ever problematic weather!), a shed load of reliable workforce, cranes and other plant / machinery and no on-site problems... theoretically yes?!

Cracks me up, it's allowed only in the world of RCT series or No Limits!

[TTD03]

^ Even in NL it would be hard. RCT is the only plausible option for anyone!

^ the only way I see any coaster going up in 5 days is a carnival coaster

[TTD03]

^ Lol a carnival coaster goes up in 1 night

[Mr. Freeze]

But it akes them a week to tear it down. Carnival logic

[TTD03]

That's for "safety" reasons

[Mr. Freeze]

Ya. "Safety"

One time at Valleyfair, I overheard some elementary school kid in the line for Renegade say: "I love wood coasters because you're more likely to fall out on them!"

Intamin says otherwise.

Actually this is true if it is a Six Flags woodie

This is more of a common thing that I hear the GP say, but when I'm sitting next to someone, once we're locked in and ready to go, they will sometimes tell me "good luck". I've never really understood this. Perhaps they're telling me "good luck on not getting killed." If so, then when is the GP ever going to learn that roller coasters aren't off-the-wall death machines?

[TTD03]

^ Yep, have had this happen to me.

My friend and I usually do this thing on Kingda Ka to scare the crap out of GP's.

Once the click of the train happens and it starts rolling back to engage with the catch car, my friend will scream "That's not normal!"
By this point, the whole train is freaking out, and at the precise time I say, "Goodbye!" And we launch. Best game ever on a rocket coaster!

Put bolts in your pockets and then on the way up, take them out and tell the person next to you that they fell out of their seat.

I came across this amusement park poster from Mensa (the high-IQ society), and at the bottom, it shows the top 10 amusement parks in America as voted by their members, and that is where Mensa really gets stupid...

Omg that was really made by smart people??

They don't even know SF Magic Mountain, the mecca for massive coasters!

Yes, but it is a Six Flags park so therefore SFMM=Suck.

A while ago, I saw someone online say that Roar at SFDK gets rebuilt every year.
