That's Ian doing an impression of a northerner. Not biting his nails, n00b.
Me, Ian and Marc:
No, actually Mark, I meant what I said. Rita is forceful, but the launch is weak, and it's just airtime hills and helixes. I really don't see what is great about Nemesis, it's a good ride, but it isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's better than Inferno, but not much.
Sooo tired. Went up today with Marc and IanNem off of SP. Got in for about 5 minutes of ERT, went to Air, frotn row, and came into the breakrun, advanced into station. Bang. Oh. It had broked. Damn. We sat there for about 10 minutes waiting to let us off, and wasn't very comfortable. Felt very sorry for people on lift hill, you heard the ominous 'BANG, OUCH', and the lift hill progressivly stopped again. We left Air, and headed to Nemesis, and it's overrated in my opinion. Greayed out, but no differnet from Inferno. Now this is where I forget the rest of the day, bar the little duck waiting patiently for chips, and as he was a well trained duck, waiting, we gave him some food, and went off. Ripsaw is mental, really good ride, but Oblivion is overrated aswell. Runaway Train is mental aswell, especially coming into the tunnel, very intense. Hex and Duel are amazingly well themed, it's great what they can do with a proper budget. Charlie is a nice ride aswell!Rita is overrated, in fact it's absolute rubbish. CRR is a much better ride than Rumba, longer and wetter. And then you have the Flume. Rubbish really, waste of time.Really liked to laid back attitude at AT, so many staff members, you have two sitting on RT, one operating and one on the PA. Just made the day a bit more special.After park close, we went over to Splash Landings/Cariba Creek/Towers Hotel. Really, really nice, and the waterpark was just amazingly themed. The prices may be a lot, but it's a great place to go. Hoping to go back up with Ian and Marc in October.Ride CountAir x2Nemesis x1Duel x3Hex x1RT x1Flume x1CRR x1Rita x1Oblivion x1Ripsaw x1Charlie x1
Sorry, but I'm gunna post here about this, to reiterate Marc's post.Please do not ask wether we know it's closed or not, if we knew, we wouldn't be at liberty to say. Unless it's soemthing blatently obvious, like maybe not operating today, because it's missing a swing. Common sense.
Perfecftly done Phillip.
The opening scene after the prologue, where the helicopters fly in, is the opera bit.
Planning for NI was started for there way before it burned down.
Does anyone ever look towards Colossus Hot dog and Nachos and see the massive roaring funnel's? That's most of the electric side of Rush. Same with Slammer, it's to the back of the Fastrack.
Bad weather. Crawling up lift hill this morning. The attendant would run into pit, pull out a black pin, and lie on the ground. The ride then lowers.
