    Shanghai...

    Hey Rob, Im planning on going to Shanghai around the 23rd of November, I'v tried looking up the dates that Disney operates but the website isn't displaying past July. Do you know if the park is open in late November? and also Happy Valley Shanghai? do you know if that is open in November? I used google chrome to translate the happy valley website, but im still confused wether its open or not. thanks
  2. I was just reading at Loopings.nl that KMG have advised that all owners of Afterburners close their attraction until further investigations have been done. And it says that the ones located in Lightwater valley, Thorpe Park, Drievliet etc have been closed, Just an update for those wondering whats happening currently to other afterburners
  3. Hey all, First off this isn't a recreation, as I find that far to difficult but I'm trying to keep as much to the style of a Disney Park as possible. I am using mods in the game, but a lot of the in game stuff is actually pretty useful. So far i'v made the Entrance train station, main street and the castle. I really want to do a Tower Of Terror but i don't know if that will fit into a Magic Kingdom style park very well. This game is brilliant and I recommend buying it, Iv had so much fun building this so far, Its been a real challenge to say the least. Let me know what you think? The Mickey in the flower bed thing was so difficult to do, this was the best i could get. Starting with the left side of the main street and now the right side general over view And this was the first castle i'v ever made. It turned out okay, Kinda sloppy on the back side Castle entrance The sloppy back side And an over view of the castle plaza area
  4. Being a potter fan I did love the Harry Potter world, But what I love more is coasters. And I couldn't care less if Dragon challenge is HP themed or not I love them anyway. Having just visited both IOA and US I had a great time, but I couldn't help feel the overwhelming selection of 3D and 3D screen rides was too much. And after I rode 2 or 3 I was kind of done and wanted something else in terms of variety, I ended up being like "oh okay another 3D rides lets get this one over and done with" ( saying that I did really enjoy Spider-man and Kong) I get the impression that universal wants to have more immersive worlds than a cracking coaster line up, okay I get that if thats what they are going for then its totally cool, But i'm just worried that removing these two coasters is making room for yet another dark ride with 3D screens and that to me is so sad, haven't they got enough off those between the two parks already. Having ridden a Mack inverted dark ride, I just can't see it living up to the thrills that DC offers. If they get removed, they get removed, little ole me can't stop that, but I just hope they get sold to another park as a pair or separate if all this actually happens.
  5. I did see the 'Dolphin Days' and 'Pets Ahoy' at SeaWorld which are very good, Didn't get a chance to see anything else as they just didn't work out with my kraken return ticket time things and with how long I waited for Manta etc and eating in-between plus my shuttle came at 6. At Cedar Point I didn't see any shows, maybe I should of taken the time to do that, but I was just in Coaster Heaven and just wanted to ride everything so much. Thanks for your kind words about my trip, I need to plan one for next but i just don't know where to go yet.
  6. To be honest the waits all depended on what time of day I did which ride. I was there 3rd 4th and 5th of July. Heres roughly how it was.. Magnum - walk on Blue Streak - Walk on Gemini - walk on Rougarou - walk on Corkscrew - walk on Woodstock Express - walk on Cedar Creek Mine - walk on Power Tower - 5 mins Gate Keeper - 45 in the morning, afternoons 15 mins, after 8pm a walk on Dragster - closed mostly but I waited 20 mins. When it opens later it gets a surge of people so can be 60mins Iron dragon 20min - VR iron dragon 60mins Wicked Twister - 45min after 8pm a walk on Raptor - 45min after 8pm a walk on millennium force - 45min all day but sometimes a 30min Valravn - 90mins - after 8pm a 10 min Maverick - 90mins - early mornings a 20min
  7. on Wednesday the 5th I was on the 3rd or 4th train after it opened in the evening on TTD that launched, but our train we didn't even make it a third of the way down the launch. And we came to a dead stop and rolled very very slowly back to the station to be taken off the train. One thing I noticed is that the catch car was really far ahead of our train down the launch track, to me it seamed like the dog on the catch car broke and left us behind mean while the break fins had popped up and forcing us to stop. Any one else every experienced what seamed like an E-stop on launch? The ride was down and had only opened for 15 mins max and then I think it was down again all evening.
  8. Hey all, I just got back from my awesome holiday and I wanted to show just a few of my favourite photos from each park I did. I flew Germany to Orlando and Orlando to Cleveland. This was my second time to Florida the first time being 15 years ago, so I had a lot of new stuff to see and do. Due to my time frame I had to sacrifice a park that being Magic Kingdom, and this time skipped water parks. And then I made my first, a long over due trip to Cedar Point. Due to my time frame and how the flights worked out I couldn't make it to Other parks in Ohio but maybe next time. First off I never really had anything negative to say, I overall had a fantastic time. I never once used fast pass or bought refill souvenir cups or loads of merch etc as I was kind of on a budget, but I made it work and actually managed to ride every coaster 3 or 4 times despite the fact it was peak times and being solo made it easier. My favourite attraction on the trip was 'Avatar Flight Of Passage' it was incredible and I just didn't expect it. My favourite park was obviously Cedar Point. My favourite coaster in Florida was Mako and on the whole trip it was Maverick. I love Surprises and there was a few rides that I thought i'd ride once and then that would be it, but I ended up returning to them over and over. Gemini & Magnum both were just so enjoyable and quirky I absolutely loved them, which was a total shock to me. Another was Cobras Curse, I thought it would just be a kind of Average Family ride, but no, I totally loved it. Rides that I still loved but were kind of underwhelming were, Cheetah Hunt, I don't know why but my expectations were greater for some reason. Valravn, now I still loved it but I thought the restraints really effected how it rode compared to Shiekra. And Gringotts for went down the 3D screen path too much and I wished it was more coaster, still a fantastic attraction but I kind of thought that about the whole of universal, there were only so many 3D screen rides I could do before I was kind of done with it but again regardless still fun day. The Line for Avatar was crazy but I waited anyway as a lovely store worker in the gift shop said to me if there's one thing you do today then it's Flight Of Passage, And man she was right. Speaking of long lines Kraken Unleashed wrapped up a 420min line....thank god for the save your spot on line service so I managed to ride it twice, but with out VR as I do get a tad motion sick with those kind of things. But the VR just took so long, one train was dispatched every 15 minutes creating the long wait. Now for a few of my favourite photos from each park that I took. Hogwarts Selfie Loved the Hulk, And I loved the new trains. Totally loved this compared to other 3D rides Splash down! Red Dragon was still my favourite out of the two just like I remembered 15 years ago. Next was a universal, Rip Ride Rockit was rougher than i thought it'd be. Loved the non inverting loop. Spider-man..sorry Transformers Cobras Curse was excellent Monty proved it was still favourite of mine. My first big dive coaster, Why do we get the small ones in Europe?? Kumba was good classic B&M goodness Cheetah Hunt gave a really long ride which I liked Nasty spinning coasters haha Animal Kingdom was next, and this was the day the massive storm came. Loved this attraction, great theming and idea. Pandora was just spectacular everywhere you looked The floating islands.....made great shade for when the sun was blazing. Next up was a visit to Hollywood Studios One of my favourite themed attractions Great fun and much prefer it to paris. And I also prefer the original Tower or terror to the paris one. i literally went to Epcot for 2 hours as a quick evening visit. and did just Soarin and Test Track. So I managed to get to the FunSpot Parks Mine blower kicked a$$ Fast passed and loads of air The other Funspot was larger and had a couple more things to do White Lightning was real fun, for for the family compared to Mine Blower And freedom Flyer was a really great family suspended coaster. Last day in Orlando I went to seaWrold Mako was a walk on, so I did it 4 times in a row Manta had operation problems, and had a real long line, and no duel station happening. Mako is the distance, my favourite Florida coaster Bye SeaWorld Then I made why why over to cleveland Ohio MF I'v dreamed of riding this, I actual greyed out a little on the first overbank Maverick had everything I love on a roller coaster in one. Gatekeeper, Im not a big fan of Winged Coasters but it was huge and really long. No pun intended. Valravn, Damn those tight thigh restraints. Photographs well tho Rougarou was awesome! Now my favourite Floorless coaster MF and Rougarou magic Magnum took a little piece of my heart. More GateKeeper Wicked twister, as iv said many times I don't like going backwards so much, so I only rode once Raptor was all kinds of crazy! the speed it takes the elements was mental. That big a$$ inversion Classic Corkscrew, with an Airtime hill?? Dragster was down a lot but I rode it 2 and a half times......3rd time we had an E-stop on launch and got taken off. Magnum in the sunset Gemini, was a Gem of a coaster. Who knew... well not me.
  9. I got ride mine blower last night and it kicks serious butt, really fast pace from beginning to end, great pops of air, I didn't find it unsmooth at all. Throughly enjoyed it
  10. What a coincidence, I'm going to Cedar Point from Germany as well on the 3rd. But I'm also going to the park on the 4th and the 5th. Kinda hoping 3 days will let me do everything at least twice. I wasn't planning on getting a fast pass as I was at Magic mountain on 4th July 2 years ago and it was dead. But after reading you all say you should probably get one il think about it now or just judge it by how the first day goes.
  11. 1.Movie Park germany - 62Km 2.Toverland - 101Km 3.Phantasialand - 117Km
  12. nice update. Next time you guys plan to go to London give me a shout if your wanting to see any shows, 9 times outta 10 I can get discount or cast rate, As you know i work in the Musical Business my self. Hope you enjoyed the shows any way, always nice to see that you like musicals as well as theme parks
  13. How was the queue for you? When I rode it on Monday it had a constant 30-40 min queue with only one train in operation all day.
  14. I feel like its been a while, but really nice to see an update. Looking good as always. Have you thought about using SMD LED'S? they come in all tiny sizes and are fairly easy to use with a bit of soldering practise
  15. Hey all, So Movie Park Germany is my homework being about 25mins away, and plus because of where I work I get 50% off entry price SCORE! so I haven't been to the park in about two years, But I wanted to go check out the new Mack coaster Star trek Operation Enterprise, so today was the perfect opportunity to go ride it. The weather was 34 Degrees all day but the park wasn't really busy at all, every coaster was running only one train but I got a walk on to ever ride apart from Star Trek which had a 30min wait all day. So Star Trek, Never judge a ride by a video, I must say seeing the videos of this ride I was a bit disappointed, But it actually rode well and I enjoyed it. The ride is not intense what so ever so if your looking for that then your not going to find it. I sat in the back, and the first launch is just a little something, the backward park was cool and being at the back you travel up the spike quite far, The third launch was okay but nothing intense. The drop out of the tophat thing was good and you got a real pull, The inversions where cool if you like hang time and then the last section has some nice pops of air time and a few whippy curves. Overall really enjoyed it. The second time I rode it broke down in the transfer section before the launch so I had to sit waiting for about 10mins but soon after it was up and running again. The queue line was also cool and has a nice pre show with some nice theming. This and GoldRush are both a similar concept but both completely different rides, With GoldRush being in my eyes far more superior. MP Express, was just plain darn right awful. Worse than I remember and after riding I questioned my self as to why I actually rode it. And same goes for the Bandit. Van Helsing was down all day which was a shame because thats actually a pretty decent attraction. The High Fall is the best attraction in the park, I got four riders, and its a drop tower that really packs a punch. All the water rides were perfect for the weather and me and my fiancé had an overall wonderful day. I see a new coaster to ride The park entrance its running! Inside the queue This cool mapped projection was awesome The new park area entrance The ride entrance You can get some get shots of the ride form the entrance of Bermuda dreieck I Guess this is like the new signature shot of the ride Drop tower my favourite And this one is so intense. Ghost chaser a wild mouse coaster Jimmy Neutron is a pretty decent family suspended coaster Dora the explorer was perfect for a hot day like today A lovely empty mainstreet Van Helsings was closed And this needs to be removed. NOW
