I really don't want to thread drift the PPP TR's thread, but... What do you count as an "inverted" coaster if you call SFGradv's Superman inverted and they make up 1/4 of your count. Something seems off.

Not "declaring" a posiotion either way, but I've always felt the B&M flyers would be more comfortable rides if they'd simply NOT raise the seats into the flying (prone) position.

Of course, what you'd have then is a standard B&M invert. Happy Friday! ;~P

Phonetically speaking, this would be a great marketing buzzword if Knoebels ever added a stand-up coaster.

And one hell of a pretzel loop inversion. Ouch!

^^That's true Vater. Good catch. I missed it on my first read through. ;-)

My wife and I only usually do one lap on twisters, but we did 2 this time. Very enjoyable up front. Tried 2nd to last row and it beat us up. Reminded me of riding Hershey's Wildcat in a back row when it had the ptc trains.

When we rode on our last visit in July we sat up front and only took one lap. Nice and smooth up front.

We also took two laps on Twister, also up front. I don't take Jill on the back row of wooden coasters unless they're REALLY smooth (see: White Lightning).

A little bummed we failed to do the train ride at night. We did get a lap on Sunday, but I know it was much better at night. Of course, the same could be said for the antique cars, but....

Ah well, the PPP rule applies as usual - there's ALWAYS next year!

You missed "pass the pumpkin"??

Jings! That must've hurt!

^Not as much as if I'd literally passed a pumpkin....

Hah! I was there for that. Never got the meaning behind it, but that didn't stop me from passing the HELL out of that pumpkin!

It started somewhat spontaneously last year as a large group of us queued up for a "train takeover" (this is the same group of folks you'll sometimes hear singing the Spongebob Squarepants theme at events). The line ended near a fall display, and someone decided to pick up a pumpkin and pass it up the line. I believe it may have gone down the line and back again. Eventually, it made it onto the train with us, where we continued passing it from car to car until we'd adequately amused ourselves.

That's awesome!

And here are the rest of us, trying to dispel these myths...
