Turnpike Cars/Calypso 2008

This is the official Turnpike Cars thread! Meet your crew, and feel free to ask questions about the ride to Pete or myself.

Everyone always said how much better Monster was.

Ya know "MONSTER MIKE" you can pretty much shut the hell up my friend because Monster is NOTHING compared to Calypso...Its like "Oh let me go and ride Monster and wait in line for like 20 minutes to ride something that takes like 1/2 hour to load for a 20 second ride and then wait another 1/2 hour to be unloaded"...Calypso doesnt have that problem, my friend...plus it has some pretty sweet music, just ask the Blue Streak crew...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Well...the numbers don't lie...about capacity.

We'll I guess the little dweeb can do some homework...congratulations. What you dont see on the website though is that Calypso is badass and Monster is quite lame to be honest, my friend. We all know in our hearts the truth.

...go Trioka!

Trioka is simply a amped up Monster. On the subject of Calypso, who doesn't like a ride that has some sweet island music playing in the background?

I agree, Calypso has some of the sweetest music in the park. I better like it since I will be listening to it all summer.

HAHA I'll make sure we tell everyone to turn it up nice and loud for you.

Calypso has the sweetest music in the park?! Clearly you've forgotten the fabulous 80's music of the Magnum XL-200. No competition dude.

Pete, really. who are you tying to convince here me or yourself? Monster is badass and you know it. Its ok, you can be a little upset. I know the truth may be hard to handle. ;)

To AndreaA1015: Anyone can play lame 80's music but it takes an awesome ride like Calypso to rock the sweet sounds of the Caribbean!

To GAM man 68: No, Monster in in fact, NOT badass my friend. You are obviously ill-informed on which rides are badass and which are in fact a WASTE of CP space.

Lame?! Oh no you didn't!

haha :-)

Oh yes, Andrea...I went there! :)

It's interesting 'TurnPikePetey' that you list just Turnpike Cars in your signature but don't mention Calypso.

One day I heard these maintenance guys talking and one of them says "DAMN COLLAPSO RIDE'S DOWN AGAIN!!!" It was pretty funny.

I can attest to the reason why they were saying that too!

Well MonsterMike, Im pretty sure everyone knows that Calypso comes with Turnpikes so there is no need to waste valuable time and energy typing something that I don't need to be typing...like this post, for instance.

Anyway MonsterMike you should just stay outta the Turnpike Cars/Calypso 2008 topic because you arent badass enough to be posting here, my fine feathered friend.

Monster/ WW = Bad Ass

I must agree ^

But it's interesting, TurnPikePetey, that your ATL lists Calypso in his signature and you, the TL, fail to do so.

i'm not gonna lie, when i saw this discussion topic i thought it would get barely any replies. but apparently turnpikes/calypso is the new "in" thing of 2008. but, i have to agree that monster is better than calypso. i mean, just take one look at the sweet fluorescent lighting package, and tell me they're not completely amazing.
