Hey guys I recently went to Florda but never got to Kissimee much. I haven't got a trip planned in the future but will go back someday. I will probably end up riding both but which is better the Kissimee Skycoaster or that other thing (can't remeber the name) the catapult thing with two towers in a 'V' shape and bungee cords attaching a ball in the center. I have been on the Katanga Skyscraper on I Drive and loved it at night time. Also I could have sworn there is a small skycoaster in the area or maybe I was dreaming :veryconfu :lol:

I've never been to Kissimee either, but I think you'll find similar types of attractions to the two you've mentioned at Blackpool on or near the Pleasure Beach.

Capitan Hook have you heard the new name for Thorpe Park's next coater? An inverted called Nemesis Inferno? They say that its background storyline will tie in with Nemesis at Alton Towers! Cool or what?

 

[CAPTAIN HOOK]

Sounds grrrrrreat ! I haven't been to Thorpe Park in about 8/9 years. Sounds like an excuse to visit the sister-in-law :hurl:
Talking Alton Towers - have you been recently and ridden "Air" - went two weeks ago - its a good ride but a bit over-rated.

No, I haven't been toi Alton since 98. The last park I went to was Thorpe in 2001 when they were building Colossus. I want to try out Air it looks better than Stealth by the way you spend more time facing down instead of on top of the track but it looks alot less intense than Stealth. I'll still ride it though! Don't know if you ever heard of a small park up North called Flamingo Land but they have got a rid this year called Cliff Hanger which claims to be the tallest 'tower' ride in UK. I don't know if it drops you or shoots you up? Do you know?

hi bud well i prefer the 300ft skycoaster the adrenalline is AMAZING and as u r suspended 300ft from the ground with just one rope u do not feel safe especially when its windy then u have to pull the ripcord and u freefall for about 250ft then swing at about 70mph to 80mph which is really cool but i never ride on my own i always get a attendant to ride with me ussually a goodlooking guy who works there errrrrrrrrmmmmmm

the bungee ball is crap i do like it but all it does is catapults u up about 275ft spins u around a couple of times then u come down slowly and thats it
its very good when u first go as u dont know when ure going to go but i prefer the sky coaster

or if u want more addrenaline try the skyscraper on international drive which is so COOL
u r sat in a two seater seat on a kind of a 150ft long propeller and its spins u around the propeller thing is upwards and ure on the bottom if u can imagine it i think they are building one in blackpool pleasure beach and its spins u around at about 100mph u get the same gs as a astronaut gets as we went on this ride a few times we kept on going around about 29 times i think to be exact and at one point they stop the ride when u are sat right at the top and u r swinging slowly then when its starts up again u fall forward and think the restraints wont hold u
please try this ride in orlando when u go next it is so cool u will thank me for it afterwards
see ya later bud
p.s as anyone else tried the skyscraper in orlando or any other park ????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

I said in my other post orlanduk, I have tried the skyscraper I was just wondering about the skycoaster and bungee catapult. I love going at night time.
