[QUOTE=The Vman;24536318]I was [I]wondering[/I] where that thing went last time I went to Six Flags. :saddowns:
Speaking of Six Flags, another fun coaster they've got is Batman: The Ride

It's a lot of fun, but intense as fuck. I blacked out for a second or two both times I've gone on it.[/QUOTE]
Didn't some kid get his head decapitated on that?
I wanna go on the Batman one, looks awesome :v:
What would you guys say the best theme park is in England?
I may have an opportunity to go to one.

Been in this baby. Highest in Europe, last time I checked. Loved every single bit of it.[/QUOTE]
Incorrect. Tallest in Europe is Silver Star at Europa Park, GER at 239 ft. Goliath at Walabi World is only 153 ft.

That'd be a Vekoma SLC (Suspended Looping Coaster). Every one I've been on is rough as fuck, poorly maintained and lacklustre. But, that'd be Vekoma for you...
[QUOTE=rampageturke;24539576]Didn't some kid get his head decapitated on that?[/QUOTE]
Somebody was decapitated at the Six Flags Over Georgia clone of this ride - he climbed over a fence to retrieve a cap and WHAM! Train hit head. Family attend funeral.
[QUOTE=ragawaga;24542397]What would you guys say the best theme park is in England?

I'll speak from a theme park and roller-coaster enthusiast point of view and say Alton Towers is the best. Not only does it have some world class thrill rides, the atmosphere is amazing, the park is well maintained, stunningly beautiful and very family friendly. The park's range of rides accompany all ages, so bring along the family!
Anyway, Six Flags over Georgia announced Dare Devil Dive Coaster shall be coming to it for 2011. It's a Gerstlauer Eurofighter which are generally cheap to pit up and offer moderate thrills (SAW: The Ride, Speed, Mystery Mine etc are all examples). The design of this one looks moderately better than most, so could be quite interesting. Unfortunately, these rides have a tendency to become very rough after a few years if poorly maintained, and knowing Six Flags, I expect this will deteriorate in years to come...

Spinball whizzer :D
Kingda Ka is also on my to-do list before I die :p
The ripsaw at alton towers looks batshit crazy, anyone here ridden it?
[QUOTE=ragawaga;24549686]The ripsaw at alton towers looks batshit crazy, anyone here ridden it?[/QUOTE]
Of course. I've been on better models though, but I think that's the oldest model I've been on. The settings on Ripsaw are quite tame in comparison to most others, which is disappointing.

Which one? The Escape? Ultimate Flight? "The Ride" etc? Too many listed under that generic name and themed to that geezer :P
the escape i think

El Condor? Not been on it personally, but from fellow enthusiasts, all I hear is that it is the WORST SLC EVER :P Rough as fuck and very poorly maintained, I hear.

This?
If so, it is quite poor with slow acceleration and not reaching it's 100mph that it opened with all those years back. I only reaches around 3/4s of the way up the tower nowadays...
In fact, the ride is closed at the moment and is opening back up next year re-vamped. Nothing official said on what will happen, but I am lead to suspect that it will instead run backwards like it's twin at Dreamworld, AUS recently did.
Looks good
