When I record videos, they come up as audio files in playback. Anyway to fix this?

Apocalypse at SFA replacing Skull Mountain (Typhoon Sea Coaster). I understand SM was bad when it came to maintenance (and the fact the park was in desperate need of another coaster), but it was one of the most unique and probably one of my favorite water rides of all time. I'm not a fan of Apocalypse either.

Not necessarily sick, but Kumba always left me a little dizzy and disoriented at the final brake run.

Even the soccer fans agree. Link. Take note theme parks.

^Thank. I was just messing around with the supports seeing what I could I do with them for future projects. Also I'm still trying to get the hang of using NL2, since it's been years since I last played the first NL.

This is the third coaster I've made in NL2, but it's the only one that's worth sharing even though it still needs plenty of work. A Schwarzkopf terrain coaster. It's not pretty but I'm still trying to get the hang of editing as in making smoother turns and hills. Hopefully I'll have a better ride to share in the future. Gotta fix the supports

I found out I'll be visiting Chicago next summer to visit family and we agreed to visit two parks during the trip. One is going to be SFGAm and hopefully it won't be as bad as last year (after seeing reviews last year, that is). My last visit to the park was in 2007 and only got to ride Demon, Whizzer and American Eagle so I'll be excited to get one's I missed and some new ones. I haven't been on a wing coaster or an RMC so I'll be looking forward to visiting this summer. Finally we agreed to stop at one more park on the way back home, which will be either Cedar Point or Kennywood since they're both on the way. It should be a no brainer that I should go to Cedar Point but I haven't been to Kennywood either so I'm still deciding on which one I'd like to visit this year...

Every time I hear someone say "Pit bulls are dangerous" it pisses me off so much, especially after reading Time magazines BS article on them. I'm honestly more of a "pit bull enthusiast" than a theme park one. I've been around dogs all my life and they're the sweetest breeds I've ever been around. I have plenty of friends with pit bulls and the only thing they do is lick you and cuddle with you. Anyone who thinks they should be banned needs to be educated.

Got a laptop as a late Christmas present.

^I'll agree on that. I bet it will looks just as nice around Howl-O-Scream when it's fall.

Great update, Zach. Looks like they'll have this ride done in no time.

"Jet Black Crow"-Sons Of The Sea

"Don't Stay"-Linkin Park

^ I was wondering why everyone was calling her that. As for Morgan, I'd still like to see him meet up with Rick's group. I think those two would make a great team! Although having him as the main character in the spin off would be awesome! I also do agree about Beth. I was actually starting to like her even more in season 4, but still I really don't think they should bring her back. It's already been done, and even if they made some dream sequence to her coming back, it still wouldn't feel right. That being said, I highly doubt we'll see her returning in February.

For any Incubus fans out there like myself, they performed a new song at KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas. Even though I prefer the earlier/heavier Incubus, their new album that's coming up next year is supposed to be similar to what A Crow Left Of The Murder sounded like, which I thought was a fantastic album BTW. Now I just gotta anxiously wait for the album to go out and announce a US Tour!

One of a kind Intamin Spiral Coaster. It started out in a South Korean hotel, but now it's currently in Al-Sha'ab Leisure Park although it's been SBNO since 2005. It kind of reminds me of Arrow's prototype pipeline.

I also just realized this will be the first GCI to go. I'd count Ozark Wildcat but that is still SBNO and I have no clue what the future is for that ride...

While Gwazi wasn't the worst wooden coaster I've been on, I'm not all that upset it's leaving. The roughness wasn't that bad honestly, but it felt so sluggish which really killed the pacing of the ride. It's a shame because I really like the layout, even though the one side was already closed when I rode it. At least I got the credit.

^And now the only thing that S&S offers that's close to Arrow are the 4D coasters. I'd much rather see more loopers like Tennessee Tornado.

Sounds insane. I saw some POVs of Skyrush in it's opening year it seems like they slowed the lift down quite a bit since then. I'd love to experience Skyrush with it's lift in full speed.

^How much faster was it? It seemed pretty quick when I rode it back in October, I can't imagine how much crazier the airtime was on the backseat if it was faster.

"Faint"-Linkin Park

Ugh, I never really did new year's resolutions since I never went through with them, but I definitely would like to be more consistent with my workouts. I was doing good the first five months I was lifting, then I got caught up in a new job with crazy hours and lost motivation. I'd also like to get a career going next year so I can finally get a new car and possibly my own place. And finally my last resolution is to ride my 100th coaster (My count is 68) and visit one or more of the following parks: Kings Island Cedar Point Dollywood Kennywood Knoebels Carowinds EDIT:I can't believe I forgot to add Six Flags Great Adventure to the list. I'd love to experience El Toro!

Then I recommend you don't see the movie "Tourist Trap".

I thought Beth knew the price she'd be paying for stabbing her (whether Dawn or another officer would've shot her) and she was just sacrificing for Noah. Just a theory.... Hopefully when the season returns in February, we'll see Morgan again.
