I know! This looks like it could be the best GCI coaster to date! Though I still can't wait for tomorrow! Hopefully Six Flags can bring out some awesome new stuff (fingers crossed).

 

Oh man I almost forgot about tomorrow. By the looks of it 2013 looks like a freaking awesome year for roller coasters. Hopefully we'll see something awesome from Six Flags.

[MontagnaMagica 307]

Roar has got some pretty tough competition now up there in California! Come to think of it, that's three GCIs in one state! California really is the best state in the USA.

[Dusty Soul 2,612]

Oh my gosh guys did you see the new rides... Rattler is getting a face lift and an inversion and a new ride for magic mountain... It just looks so awesome.

Here's the magic mountain one

And the awesome one coming to SFFT

[Crutch 898]

Wow! Both of them look totally awesome! While I was expecting a little more from SFMM, I think it will turn out to be a pretty good ride.

 

I'm going to Six Flags Fiesta Texas this weekend...but it looks like i'll have to plan another trip for next spring

 

 

Also, Hurricane Issac reminded me of this SFNO video that I saw a a while ago...not sure if any of you guys have seen it or not, but I'll post it anyway:

 

 

 

creepy...

Action Park anyone?

 

 

On another note, my favorite coaster at Cedar Point (and in the world) has been Millennium Force. I once went there and rode MF four times in one day! But as of recently, I'm beginning to consider The Wicked Twister as a contender, as no other coaster has given me such a sheer amount of adrenaline rush. One of the best things about TWT is that the lines are short as hell. I've never had to wait more than twenty minutes for the line which is awesome.

Millennium Force is also mah favorite coaster in the park. Unfortunately, I went in line for it about 6 times, and 2 times, it broke down on me -_-. Wicked Twister also broke down on me when I was in line about a month ago, and was closed for over 6 hours.Thankfully, I went on that ride a ton, mostly because of the intensity and super-short lines

[Crutch 898]

Hey guys! Going to Six Flags Fiesta Texas tomorrow and can't wait! Hopefully I will get a bunch of cool onride and offride videos for my YouTube channel!

Oh man freaking Action Park... That is probably the most badass looking slide I've ever seen...

I hope you have a great time... I will need to check those videos out if you do do them.

[Crutch 898]

Wow what a beautiful day in San Antonio, TX! And the view from my hotel room is pretty nice as well! I keep you guys updated when I post new videos.

Oh wow, that view is pretty awesome. It looks like good weather down there. Usually when I travel the sky goes all rain on us. I look forward to seeing your videos!

Oh, that's a bummer that it always rains for you. I did edit an offride video and I'm trying to upload it now (the hotel's internet is pretty slow...) Hopefully I can have it up by tonight

I know that feel bro... During my trip out west the internet in every one of our hotels were extremely slow... Yeah... Rain follows me...

[Crutch 898]

Okay...after messing with it for the past two hours, I FINALLY got my video uploaded! It's an offride video of Superman: Krypton Coaster! Processing this baby took over an hour, but I think it was worth it!

That is one high quality video, and dang that is some awesome footage. This is probably the most underrated B&M coaster there is. I always liked this coasters location on the cliffside. Great video.

Thanks! I usually gather over an hour of footage for each ride, so only the best of the best footage gets used (always quality over quantity haha). There will be plenty more videos to come in the coming weeks!

 

And I would agree that it is a VERY underrated coaster, it is my favorite floorless coaster and may be one of the best B&M coaster in my opinion.

I can not wait for the next video! As B&M coasters go this one is my 2nd favorite, behind Diamondback and Kings Island. Still a very great coaster.

[Crutch 898]

Sweet, I've always wanted to go to Kings island! B&M Hyper Coasters are still my favorite type of rides. Nitro at SFGAd is still my #1 coaster, in fact why don't I just post my top five:

 

1:Nitro - SFGAd

2: The New Texas Giant - SFOT

3:Tatsu -SFMM

4: Griffon- BGW

5: Superman Krypton Coaster -SFFT

 

While Superman may be in the top 5, it still doesn't compare to some of my other favorites, but it still is a kick ass coaster and the best floorless coaster by FAR, and I've been on five floorless coasters (i think?)

[Dusty Soul 2,612]

I love B&M hyper-coasters so much. I've never been on Nitro though...

Might as well follow with my top 5

1. Diamondback- KI

2. Beast- KI

3. Flashback- SFMM

4. Lightning Racer- Hershy

5. Storm Runner- Hershy

Wow, you have been on Flashback? That's awesome! I don't even think I was tall enough to ride when it closed, but I remember watching it thinking that it looked like the coolest thing ever...

 

P.S. YOUR SIGNATURE IS SO BEAUTIFUL :')

Yeah Flashback looked really awesome... I was awfully sad to see it go... It was rather rough though, I loved those drops though...

(Thank you)

I've always been a huge fan of amusement parks and roller coasters. They happen to be one of my all-time biggest obsessions within my lifetime. I'm an annual passholder for the Disneyland Resort up in Anaheim, and I take the public bus up there very often (I don't drive yet), usually by myself or occasionally with a close friend. I also love Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and all the parks at Walt Disney World (been there four times with my grandparents!).

 

Ah yes, and I've also been to Cedar Point, along with King's Island back in June 2008. Both are two of the best traditional amusement parks I've ever went to in my life.

 

Here's my top ten favorite coasters as of right now:

01. Millennium Force (Cedar Point)

02. The Beast (King's Island)

03. Goliath (Magic Mountain)

04. Colossus (Magic Mountain)

05. Magnum XL200 (Cedar Point)

06. Montezooma's Revenge (Knott's Berry Farm)

07. California Screamin' (Disney California Adventure)

08. Expedition Everest (Disney's Animal Kingdom)

09. Xcelerator (Knott's Berry Farm)

10. Ghost Rider (Knott's Berry Farm)

Dude I am so jelly of you having season passes to DisneyLand... Also that is a very nice top ten list you have there... The Beast is my 2nd favorite coaster as well.

[CinemaBrony 1,276]

Thanks! It's a cool coincidence that we share the same 2nd favorite coaster.

 

Oh and that new flying coaster that Cedar Point is making for next year looks awesome! I'm pleased to hear that they're finally removing Disaster Transport, which was really lame and most likely my least-favorite ride when I was there.

Oh... another Colosuss fan! Everybody that I know always complains about that ride, but I think that it's still an awesome and classic coaster!

 

P.S. Dusty I think that I'm going to die right now /)^3^(\

Same here! Colossus might be a little dated and in need of a decent upgrade, but it really is an underrated classic. I honestly cannot imagine Magic Mountain without Colossus or Revolution. Both of those seem really unappreciated by most park-goers nowadays. Maybe it's because all of the park's even bigger and more advanced coasters like Tatsu, X2, and The Riddler's Revenge make the older classics look lame in comparison.
