SFA Trip Report (Pic Heavy)

No, believe me. There was airtime in the front seat on the hop at the very top of the bowl, and on the hill going up into the brakes. Dcs, who went to SFA the other day, said there was no airtime, and I don't recall feeling any. Also, at SFFT yesturday, I pretty much blacked out for a second at the bottom of the first cobra and the half-loop half-cork thingy.

Just ask SFF. He knows all about Polty's ownage.

Sounds like someones behind on there mantenance, All rides in the chain that "would cause hearing damage, loss, or dis-comfort" where to be switched over to silent silicone based running wheels by season opening. Guess someone didnt get that memo...

Thats what you would assume. However, having went to PKI end of last year and seeing some videos from inside the building its an incredibly loud ride. I dont know if its partly from the track and the rest from the wheels but it does make a hideously loud whining noise.


Its ok, its not THAT loud but loud. Mantis is louder.

I think polty does looks better the colors are better looking and more vibrant and not dull like JJ its got better themeing. And supposedly airtime according to jakizle. But I still like JJ

lol Jakizle, you can't prove that there's any design difference, maybe the fact that SFFT has done train work on Poltergeist's trains recently, but other than that there's no possible design difference in the track or propulsion system. It might have been that Poltergeist's wheels had been changed to silicon like SFF said, which would sense because he obviously lives there or close enough to SFFT to have ridden it several times and probly once or twice since they made that change. However, JJ has not been switched to silicon wheels or whatever the so-called requirement is.

But yea if you're saying Poltergeist is ownage... you need to think twice. There's no difference except for the wheels, which JJ is bound to get sometime.

They may be the same, but one could be a bit faster.

You can adjust the amount of power to the LIMS. Thats all that needs to be changed is the speed at which it launches. A difference of 1-3mph would probably show a considerable difference along with other minor changes like wheel bearings and such.

SMer, I have been on both, like I said already, and there is a big difference. Don't go saying that I'm wrong or w/e, because I bet you have not been on both.

The pics were great! The rest of this thread however ...

well back on topic WildOne and RoAr are one of the funnest woodies Ive been on esspically at night

hey SMer it was called water world before it became wild world(got the names mixed up)LOL

I love Wild One. Its pretty cool how it interacts with the sea coaster. I agree with CK, it's what I would call a fun coaster.

I thought SFA was very fun. Sure, it has clones, but the park is never crowded. (I've been twice before) The coasters are mainly clones, but IMO really good and fun clones. S:RoS and Batwing I thought were really fun and had alot of re-rides and I liked JJ and Two Face alot and Roar was a pleasant surprise and deleiveing a relively intense ride. Sure, it may not be a great park to some, but I think that it is a good park; up there as PKD with nearly having about half the amount of coasters.

Yeah I also think Wild One is surprisingly fun, especially front row. Nice pacing and a good variety of airtime... nice floater and pacing over the first hill, few more spots of floater around, some nice surprising lats and a crazy headchopper in the middle of that low hill after the double down, and good ejector on the first half of the subsequent hill.

Edit- No, Real, you're 100% wrong... it's definately 'funnest,' not 'most fun.' WTF who says most 'fun?!?'

I certainly dont say funnest. Saying funnest makes you sound like a tard.

I now present, anti-tard protection:
