From what it looks like to me, it's nearly identical to Apollo's Chariot - I'm betting it's better since it's newer. Supposed to last over 3 1/2 minutes - for a roller coaster, that's a long time.

Still though, Busch Gardens is a destination - Carowinds, just a fun day.

AC may be old, but it's still awesome. LOL

Yeah, I'm really not supposed to ride coasters. That's the only reason I think we'll stick with BGW. There's so much more for me to do when the family rides the coasters. I will still get on AC, though.

Other than Disney, it's one of the most beautiful parks. We've never been and not been able to ride the coasters back to back. Last year, we rode AC several times in a row. Well, I made it twice, everyone else rode it several more times. Same for Griffon. Only things with a line were Big Bad Wolf (cause they're tearing it town/have torn it down) and Curse of Dark Castle.

I really want to go back to Island of Adventure. The new Harry Potter world looks fantastic.

Went to Cedar Point, Ohio last summer, and the Top Thrill Dragster is by far the most awesome roller coaster I've ever been on. That park is one of the best in the United States, if not the. Yet, I haven't been to Carowinds in a while so I take it it has improved? I'd hope so being that they're owned by the same company.

really? You liked Top Thrill better than Millennium Force? Top Thrill was fun yeah but it was short and Millennium Force was intense the whole ride.

We were so close to Cedar Point summer before last. My bro had been in a bad accident, so we had to come home asap from a rally in Michigan. We had planned to spend a day at the park, but alas it was not to be. Now I can't even ride the damned coasters there. Apollos Chariot is pushing it for me nowadays.

Yeah but you go straight up like 400 feet and you're going so fast, it's just nuts. Though, i did ride Millennium Force numerous times.

The worst is when you're sitting there waiting to be shot off at 120 mph, the suspense is crazy haha

You must be a Goldrusher or Scooby Doo type....:D

If you can handle Thunder Road or the Hurler then you can handle this little contraption!!! :cool:

I despise Thunder Road and the Hurler. I prefer to get through the day without whiplash and a severe headache thank you. They are not the least bit thrilling, just jerky (I don't like Scooby Doo either for the jerk factor). But I most definitely can do this Intimidator and love the Borg (I can never remember what they call it now).

My cell phone fell out of my pocket last year while I was on the Borg and would you believe that that found it. The battery and the back cover was gone and it definitely showed signs of a serious beating, but when I got a new battery, it worked.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
