KI Kevin

From what I've heard Discovery Kingdom is a great park. Zonga looks interesting. Those loops are very wide! Oh and here's the link to V2 at Discovery Kingdom: Here is the link :)

Was it a lot of fun?

Wow, that is very interesting, even though the site is pretty slow. Thanks for sharing this!

I found the loop on Shockwave to make me knees feel like they were about to cave. But hey- we all have our own opinions. I do agree on the restraints. I was actually a bit unnerved by them they were so minimalist. As for V2, it's sad they don't have the brake on the back tower. I watched a show on thrill rides on the Travel Channel (best channel ever, IMO) from 2002, and they featured "Superman- Ultimate Escape at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure", aka Possessed at Dorney, and it had the brakes on the back tower. I think the V2 at Discovery Kingdom looks pretty wicked (no pun intended). It was too tall for standards, so they shortened the back (straight) tower, and made the front (twisted) at a 45 degree angle instead of 90 (straight up). So you actually do a barrel roll move while going 45 degrees up (and down).

Thank you for saying what i've been trying to keep myself from saying to this guy Ditto. By the way TTD Maverick, this is NOT a one word post. -Kevin, defending himself.

Kat, how did V2 compare to Wicked Twister? I've heard of some people that like the straight back tower, and some that prefer the twisted back tower found only on WT. And by the way, how do you like the TOGO standups more than the B&M's? I've ridden one TOGO (Shockwave), and two B&M's (Mantis, Chang), and I'd rate Chang and Mantis WAY above Shockwave. I think Shockwave is the one coaster where I didn't think that airtime was a good thing. Plus when you're entering the helix you get flung to the side. I did not like it. Can you tell me why you like the TOGO's more? I honestly truly don't mean to bash your opinion, I'm just asking you to explain you ride experiences on both types.

The one time I rode it, I rode back row. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I'd have to agree with Terpy on the "giant simulator with fans". Overall I found it to be pretty forceless. But I do agree, the helix was more powerful than Diamondback's. Still, my favorite parts are the dive turns. I really wish they could have thrown just one of those into Diamondback.

I black out a lot on coasters. At the bottom of Diamondback/ Millennium/ Dragster's hill, and especially on Backlot Stunt Coaster in the helix.

Plus aren't Phoenix and Twister awesome?

Really man, you got to be patient. Trip reports don't update themselves, you know.

Knoebels? It is just another lil baby park. Tell that to Terpy.

As long as you're not extremely ill or you don't die, germs are good for you in the long run. They build up your immune system. Very true.

^The next park he went to was Knoebel's, and I think you can wait. Plus he said Dorney was the most disappointing park of the summer. Just calm down...

If I had to pick one park to go to based on rides, this would be it. Followed closely by Great Adventure. Just look at their lineup: -X2 -Tatsu -Goliath -Terminator -Riddler's Revenge -Revolution -Batman: The Ride Do those rides all not look awesome?! I may be going on a cruise out of LA next year so my mom said we could probably go to Magic Mountain.

I'll be next. I have 66.

I really wish I would have gone to that!

No, sometime back in late July/early August, Darlene was away from the park for a couple of weeks which is when Gary overtook her. From what I've seen, Gary also tends to stay at the park more, while Darlene often leaves in the middle of the day. Oh, I asked her on Friday and she said she was.

So Darlene isn't the record holder?

I think he's doing Knoebel's next...

Where exactly is the sign shop located?

Oops. Too late . That's so gross!

What?

Really? Isn't Canada's Wonderland one of the most profitable parks?

I say the best parts on AC are the dive turns. By far.
