KK has one of the oddest layouts I have ever seen.

VR synced up with a real roller coaster.
VR died out in the 90s for a reason, I see what appears to be loose articles. Safe to say that Knotts Berry Farm will never get on board with this. The concept defeats the purpose of riding a coaster, you could do the same thing with a motion simulator.

Six Flags New England's Cyclone Closing
Funny a certain Psyclone was replaced with a GCI coaster at the Mountain. I guess Six wasnt impressed

Paramount Parks didnt have this problem, furthermore my 6 year old has had an ADULT season for the last 3 years. The reason being....Adult gold passes and jr. Gold are the same price when purchased ON SALE.

Ninja at SFMM Accident
I wonder if Arrow-Huss designed their rides for such scenerios, I know during construction one of their corkscrew coasters had a crane fall on it and Arrow had to manufacture a replacement track sections (late 80s/ early 90s).

Ninja at SFMM Accident
I didnt believe the train actually derailed until I seen the photo proving it.

Fury 325
I think Six Flags got confused and thought they were Cedar Fair for Goliath, there aint no parking spaces under the coaster. I was refering to Scream at SFMM, Shockwave at SFGAm.....

Fury 325
Better than a Six Flags parking lot coaster....

Whats up with Shake Rattle and Roll
Kind of doubt it, Dollywood seem to be "poking the bear" on that one. To my memory, Timber Tower was still under warranty and Dollywood was trying to get a part that Huss claimed wasnt covered until the warranty. I dont believe the ride ever operated again. Also I doubt SR&R has any warranty left on any parts.

11 Theme Park Flubs (2 Kings Island rides!)
Totally agree! I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as I did in that ride! It was such a simple concept, but really effective in its delivery. (Granted, it was just some special effects in the dark...and you didn't even move, but was a hoot.) Another simple (and somewhat similar concept) that I thought worked very well was a ride at Carowinds that was supposed to be the inside of a ship...you sat on a flat bench in the center of the room, and the outside walls moved around you. You absolutely felt like you were turning upside down, even though you never actually moved. It was wild! (Does anyone recall what that ride was called...I probably rode it around 1992 or 93...no idea if it's still there or not...) Blackbeard's Revenge....Arrow Dynamics Magic Room.....1985-1999....Replaced by Flying Super Saturator.

Six Flags Goliath Station Small Fire
In years to come, sections of wood track will rot and compress to point that replacement will be required.
-
Six Flags Goliath Station Small Fire
Ya'll do realize that when the wooden track under the topper track needs replaced that it will effect the ride and have to be replaced. It is a structural element just like crossties on a railroad track.... Goliath and Outlaw Run are as wooden as The Beast and Racer....
