Awesome! I like these threads. Good move not using most of my questions which were probably in poor taste. I just feel like Tsunami at M&D's deserves some recognition once in awhile.

 

1. What is the best park visit you had in 2017?

After examining the photo evidence and listening to detailed witness testimony, apparently Morey's Piers though I don't remember much of it.

 

2. Have you ever traveled to a park with a specific ride in mind only for it to be closed all day?

Leap the Dips. That was a bummer, but thankfully we still had an awesome park to check out even without being able to ride Leap the Dips.

 

... Wait, you thought I meant? No. We drove to f*cking Knoebels.

 

3. GCI or Gravity Group? Pick one.

This is tough because Mine Blower has balls which isn't something I can say for any GCI but I guess overall I'd say GCI.

 

4. How many different parks did you visit in 2017?

Looking through my trip report thread and thinking about the ones we always visit 32... I think. Sh*t, really? Awesome.

 

5. How many times did you visit your home park in 2017?

No idea. Probably like 6 or 7, with a disproportionate number of those visits during Holiday in the Park.

6. What was the first RMC you rode?

Wicked Cyclone

 

7. Best view from the top of a lift?

You can see a giant brewery from the top of Griffon so I mean... is this even a question?

 

8. What new-for-2018 roller coaster are you most anticipating? Pick one.

The World's Largest Loop Coaster at Great America

 

9. RMC or Intamin? You can only choose one.

Intamin.

 

10. What was your favorite new-to-you ride of 2017?

Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts

 

11. Money is no object. You can travel to any park in the world right now by snapping your fingers. Where are you going?

Fun Fact: I can't snap my fingers for some reason. Apparently I'm a f*cking idiot. I could never figure it out. I guess nowhere. Sh*t!

 

12. Have you ever made out with someone in a queue line?

You're asking a bunch of coaster enthusiasts if they've ever made out with someone? That's like asking a bunch of Furries if they were ever drafted by the NFL.

 

13. What is the last coaster that changed your top 10?

Probably Boulder Dash by being a horrible piece of sh*t and dropping out of it, allowing something else to take it's place.

 

14. Disney or Universal?

A week ago I would have said Universal but I may or may not have been online shopping for a Pirates of the Caribbean Magic Band last night and I also may or may not have had the "My Eywa (I think)" song from Navi River Journey stuck in my head for the last 4 days. Thank god it's not f*cking Small World for a change.

 

I don't know. Don't make me choose. Gun to my head, I guess Universal but Animal Kingdom is SOOOOOO good.

 

15. When is the last time you witnessed someone puke at a park?

I deserve a f*cking award simply because I'm not answering by saying, "Morey's Piers in August... and it was me "

 

16. How many new credits did you pick up in 2017? If you don't count, take your best guess...

Probably like 50ish but I have no idea.

 

17. You're at Magic Mountain. You have a one hour ERT session on ONE coaster of your choice. You choose...

I haven't ridden Twisted Colossus, but probably that. I'm sort of tempted to say Tatsu or Ninja though. I love them.

 

18. Name a coaster or ride that you passionately dislike.

X2, honorable mention to Peter Pan's Flight

 

19. What is the most amount of money you've spent on a Fast Pass?

Probably about $100

 

20. Skyscreamers or Windseekers?

I feel like saying Windseekers just because it'll piss you off.

 

21. What is your most recent B&M credit?

Raging Bull I think?

 

22. Best adult beverage at a theme park? (under 21: whats your favorite beverage you can only get at a park?)

Summer Shandy in December at Six Flags because WTF?

 

23. Most irritating coaster nickname/abbreviation?

SteVen. Shut the f*ck up.

 

24. Butterbeer or Dole Whip?

Butterbeer. Frozen.

 

25. Favorite steel coaster *under* 100 feet?

It's the MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTY MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSTRY MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE

 

26. What's the best bathroom at your home park?

The ones by Superman I guess

 

27. Nighttime ERT on Lightning Rod or all-you-can-eat Cinnamon Bread? You can only choose one.

Yeah, no shit you can only choose one because if you go with the latter you'll get walk-of-shamed from Lighting Rod in a heartbeat. Oh, and speaking of heartbeats, I have bad news if you pick the latter.

 

28. If it were in your power, what coaster would you relocate to Knoebels?

Leap the Dips and then I would bulldoze Lakemont in favor of some douchebag gentrified housing development and shopping complex with fancy as f*ck unnecessary letters in it like "The Shoppes at Lakemont" and "The Residences at Lakemont". F*ck Lakemont. Kill it with fire.

 

29. What is the last thing you remember eating in a theme park?

One of those super sweet pod things in Pandora

 

30. Your favorite coaster got equipped with on board audio x Spotify. What's your hype track?

Code 901 on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. Do it. Next time I ride with Brit I'm totally hitting it on her screen.


 

31. Name the most disappointing ride you took in 2017.

I feel like Boldikus and I will have the same answer here, so say it with me... Boulder... Trash

Honorable mention to Raven and Legend. They both suck. Especially Raven.

 

32. Airtime hill or Zero G Roll?

There should be a flowchart to help you answer this question and the only question on it should be "Am I currently in the back of Busch Gardens Tampa". If no, then "airtime hill". If yes, then get in the back row far side and get ready to f*cking fly.

 

33. What is your favorite coaster/ride built before 1970?

Welcome to the Phoenix appreciation thread. We're so glad you could make it. I guess if that doesn't count then we're going WAY the f*ck down the list I just made for TPR to #68 and the Coney Island Cyclone.

 

34. What's worse - splashed by malaria lake flume water or dripped on by chain lift grease?

The one that doesn't involve being on a log flume. First one sounds awesome. Quit your b*tching.

 

35. Name an Intamin coaster on your bucketlist!

Expedition Ge Force

 

36. You just won a 3 day trip with hotel and airfare included. The catch is you have to choose between Disneyworld or Cedar Point. Which do you choose and why?

Disney World because flying from New York to Sandusky is stupid.

 

37. Floater or Ejector?

That's like asking if I want Bud Light or Dogfish 120. Yes in both cases (Dilly Dilly)... but given the choice, give me a f*cking break.

 

38. What was your worst park experience of 2017?

I didn't really have one. Does the New York New York coaster count?

 

39. Name your favorite coaster under 41 feet tall.

How tall is a Flitzer? Asking for a friend. (In all seriousness, come on... Wooden Warrior).

 

40. End your post with an aerial shot of one of your top 5 coasters.

Up to you to decide which one...

12. Have you ever made out with someone in a queue line?

You're asking a bunch of coaster enthusiasts if they've ever made out with someone? That's like asking a bunch of Furries if they were ever drafted by the NFL.

 

 

Guess what binch!!!

My day at Kings Dominion was darn close to perfect. Perfect weather, short lines, all rides open, good food. Loved it.

HangTime because my home park is finally getting a thrilling roller coaster! I’m excited for Railblazer and Electric Eel too.

Hard choice, but Intamin. They have a little more variety in their lineup.

Fury 325!

 

11. Money is no object. You can travel to any park in the world right now by snapping your fingers. Where are you going?

13. What is the last coaster that changed your top 10?

Intimidator 305!

 

14. Disney or Universal?

Disney, by far.

 

15. When is the last time you witnessed someone puke at a park?

None really bother me.

 

24. Butterbeer or Dole Whip?

Dole Whip!

 

25. Favorite steel coaster *under* 100 feet?

Nighttime ERT on Lightning Rod, although I’ve heard so many good things about the cinnamon bread.

An Intamin Mega-Lite!

 

29. What is the last thing you remember eating in a theme park?

Mystic Timbers didn’t blow me away like some people have described, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a disappointment. Vortex at Carowinds sucked way more than I was expecting.

 

32. Airtime hill or Zero G Roll?

If it’s a stretched out, weak zero-g roll, than an airtime hill. If it’s a snappy zero-g on a B&M Invert, then that.

 

33. What is your favorite coaster/ride built before 1970?

I love Roller Coaster at Lagoon!

 

34. What's worse - splashed by malaria lake flume water or dripped on by chain lift grease?

Chain lift grease.

Formula Rossa!

 

36. You just won a 3 day trip with hotel and airfare included. The catch is you have to choose between Disneyworld or Cedar Point. Which do you choose and why?

Cedar Point. Sorry, I’m just more of a coaster person. And, you know, Steel Vengeance.

 

37. Floater or Ejector?

I like both. Long sustained floater air is awesome, but so it sustained ejector like on El Toro or Skyrush. I can’t decide!

 

38. What was your worst park experience of 2017?

I didn’t have one, luckily.

 

39. Name your favorite coaster under 41 feet tall.

Lol, I can’t even name a non-kiddie coaster under 41 feet tall. No answer.

 

40. End your post with an aerial shot of one of your top 5 coasters.

39. Name your favorite coaster under 41 feet tall.

 

[attachment=0]Untitled.jpg[/attachment]

... so that's what this was about?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... are you proud of yourself?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I mean, I won't lie and say I'm not entertained.

I knew there was a specific "correct" answer to that question. *slow clap* I guess I'd have to answer Skull Mountain as well.

 

12. Have you ever made out with someone in a queue line?

You're asking a bunch of coaster enthusiasts if they've ever made out with someone? That's like asking a bunch of Furries if they were ever drafted by the NFL.

So far I'm the bad kid of the group. I guess I won't admit what else I've done in or around theme parks. Just gonna let people's imaginations run wild with that one.

23. Most irritating coaster nickname/abbreviation?

36. You just won a 3 day trip with hotel and airfare included. The catch is you have to choose between Disneyworld or Cedar Point. Which do you choose and why?

Disney World. Cedar Point is only a 2 hour or so drive, Disney is more expensive and something that's harder for me to get to

 

37. Floater or Ejector?

Why can't I have a mix? I prefer ejector, but if only one forever I'd take floater. I could probably do floater airtime as I continue to get older for longer
