The latest B&M

The only spinner I've been on is the one in the dinosaur area of animal kingdom. I've never thought about it being a terrain coaster.

 

[Robbie]

Hmmmm. I don't think I've been on a Gerstlauer Spinning coaster. But I don't like Mystery Mine and I've never been on a woodie with g-trains that was any good. I can say that the one Mack spinner I've been on pales in comparison with the two Maurer Söhnes I've done. The one at Seabreeze was off the chain.

You've never been on one of the many Tony Hawk spinners at Six Flags parks?

 

[Robbie]

Oh, wait. Yes I have. I hereby suspend my hatred of Gerstlauer, but only in the spinning category.

I was on a TPR trip at Discovery Kingdom (which is the BEST Six Flags Park, btw) and during ERT we had the "Tony Hawk Challenge" wherein we were each given a cup full of water to hold while on the ride, the goal being to keep as much water in the cup as possible. It was ridiculous.

 

[Zachary]

TPR is ridiculous. What's particularly wrong with the Euro-fighters?

 

[Robbie]

TPR is ridiculous.

This is so very true. I did a five day trip and thought, "This is tiring, but really fun." Then I did a two-and-a-half week trip and thought, "I never want anything to do with TPR again." I'm really glad I did the trips I did, and I made a couple of great friends in the process, but I will probably never do another trip with them, especially now that they're officially a club. That just bugs me.

What's particularly wrong with the Euro-fighters?

The only one I've been on is Mystery Mine and, as a ride, I find it more uncomfortable than fun. The themeing/dark-ride part is pretty good, but BGW could do that to a ride by any manufacturer.
