Turnpike Cars/Calypso 2008

maXair?! That's a negative Ghost Rider. Balloon Race is where its at.. Which is conveniently located pretty close to Monster.

Freeway! Now that position was a fabulous idea. While I never got to experience fabulous 80's music in this manner, the hours upon hours I spent in the Dragster queues listening to the Beach Boys medley were truly happy times.

The thing is, after two years of listening to the Beach Boys Medley, the real songs don't sound right.

I keep wanting to start the next song while in the middle of the real ones. Not cool. And Balloon Race is where it's at. OMG I've had good times on that ride. Not as good as what Monster can provide though. Monster is the single greatest ride experience ever. Maybe second behind the Jack Rabbit, but it's close. I've never seen such a beautiful Monster, and it's so good too. All the other Calypso's I've ridden have all been better than the one paired with Turnpike, sad game my friends.

Calypso is a neutered Scrambler tilted 45*. Not fun.

Monster, on the other hand, actually can give a pop of airtime every now and then. If only it didn't take a year and a half to load...

Monster has the best leads when it comes to flat rides too!

Why of course. Especially at the begining of the '07 season, I heard they had the best ATL there. I wish i could have been half as good as he was.......

I think that we can all agree here that while the tilted scrambler can have some fun music, Monster is just the most badass of all. In fact, all the badassness throughout the park, is fed off of Monster.

Witches Wheel has a 54 inch height requirement, I don't care if your child rode Dragster, Magnum or, Millenium, they are not tall enough for this one!

So I like the endless attention that Turnpikes/Calypso is getting on this forum. Apparently even though everyone disagrees with us, everyone still loves Turnpike/Calypso in one way other another, its alright to admit it. Every single person in here clearly has not sat in the purple cars on Calypso, now that is pretty badass I must say.

In one breath,TurnPikePetey says how 'badass' Calypso is and then in th next,threatens his assistant that he'll make him stay there without beingrotated. How great can this ride be if it's the'punishment' ride?

Well look at that, we already have a sense of humor on our crew. That is a direct relation to how badass were gonna be this season.

I'm too tall for either ride to really be comfortable and/or enjoyable.. lol

"Mommy, the Calypso is so boring, even Grandma is bored."

"Well let's go ride the Turnpike Cars."

"NOOOOO!!!!!!"

"Well how about the Monster?"

"YEAH!!!!!"

It's so true.

Yeah well you know what TopThrillRyan and MonsterMike...I dont put too much stock into what area 2 people have to say. You guys can keep your lame orange spinning little spider ride and your big pile of rotted lumber AND your slightly grown up version of Rub a Dub's...Haters. Thats alright though you guys can argue about how awesome your rides are but one thing about Turnpikes is that we are up rain or shine, pretty much the only time we shut down is when we need to take shelter, just like your rides, right? Thought so.

On the other hand though, your loyalty to area 2 and each other is SO cute and adorable.

It is not a spider or an octopus it is the Monster. If your ride was BA the park would have name calypso Monster. Oh by the way, Monster is up when it is raining especialy WW. Ahh so you are jelous that us area 2 people are better looking!

Now it is time for this thread to go 2 1/2 pages on which area is better.

Pretty much the main purpose of this thread is to show everyone how badass we actually are at Turnpikes/Calypso. We don't need anyone from Area 2 in here ruining our good name, so run along now! As everyone can clearly see that this thread is getting a great deal of attention, compared to any other thread from Area 2. Right there is a direct relation to just how badass we are.

On another note while I am thinking about it, has anyone heard of anything regarding applications being reviewed?

I'm too busy riding Monster to care about an Area 1 vs Area 2 rivalry. Maybe if the ride wasn't so damn good I'd have time to care about it.

I agree, the Monster's tops. Though Calypso does have theme music going for it, I think I'd take the midway music that stems from Gemini any day.
