Geauga Wildwater City Soak Lake Kingdom. Has a nice ring to it. -
PTR - Siam Park (Tenerife)

Then you don't belong here. Go away! The park looks outstanding. I've never seen a Tornado built into the side of a structure before. -

It's like the chocolate factory tour expanded to...everywhere in the park! -

Keep in mind that the train they pictured was not the Pioneer Train but the Ole Smokey train. The Pioneer Train could very well be damaged as well, but they haven't released any photos of it. Same goes with Phoenix, Twister, Flying Turns, and Black Diamond. -
"Green Lantern: Going insane because Rotten Tomatoes didn't give my movie a good rating"? I'm curious to see if it ends up being the smaller El Loco as opposed to the ones Indiana Beach and Flamingoland have. EDIT - I can see the small extensions in the track bracing where the brake on the drop would go.

The "Preview" Thread
A.J. replied to DBru's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
The station is too high, and the final brake run is too short. Otherwise, I like it. -
The TPR Games Forum Moderators Random Thread
A.J. replied to robbalvey's topic in Games Forum Moderators
It's the whole "built from the ground up" that throws me for a loop. It's like no one from even the RCT3 development team was involved. The only thing that was really, really good in RCT3 (IMO) was that a version was developed for Mac OS X. -

They usually clean it up very quickly. There was high water a few weeks ago and they were able to get it cleaned up and still open the next day. This one may take a little longer because it's still raining as this is posted. -
The TPR Games Forum Moderators Random Thread

Said what? I've always wanted to give coverage on something, is all. I read about RCT 3DS on a blog, and I was like, "I should cover this on TPR, I bet some people would be interested". -
You need to make sure everything in Newton is above the ground. When you construct in Newton and you have a track section that would go below the flat ground level, it creates it as if the ground isn't there. But when you import it into NoLimits, if there are sections that would go below the flat ground level, they'll jolt because they can't go any lower. That sounds like a computer (or personal) problem. You should go somewhere else for that. I heard of this neat website that you can find anything in. Is it "google eyes"? No. Is it "goggles?" Uhh...no. I don't remember what it is.

INTAMIN Wing Rider. B&M Wing Coaster. GET IT RIGHT.

Big Bad Wolf was removed for a reason. Arrow is out of business, which means that there is no way to get spare parts for Suspended coasters without having them made custom. The park really couldn't care less about what we think of them removing a ride. They're only concerned about making money. Big Bad Wolf had obviously become a money-loser for the park, or else they wouldn't have removed it. It was operating for just over twenty-five years. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Cedar Point removed Iron Dragon in 2012 (25 years from 1987). Six Flags Magic Mountain can afford to keep Ninja running because they have 14 cars' worth of spare parts to use (XLR8). AND ANOTHER THING...I'm very curious as to why Big Bad Wolf has such "charm". It didn't even fit the Oktoberfest theme. Aesop's Fables were French, and the Three Little Pigs was written in London. The theming flew by so fast during the ride that a member of the general public wouldn't even notice! Verbolten looks like an absolutely fantastic successor that fits the area around it well, uses the same ravine, and will most likely be a true experience as opposed to just a mere roller coaster like Big Bad Wolf was. Quite frankly, I can't wait for this ride. Whoever would rather have clunky old Big Bad Wolf than Verbolten seriously needs to move on, IMO.

RollerCoaster Tycoon on Nintendo 3DS

Press Release, courtesy of Joystiq - AND...the teaser trailer. It will be very interesting to see the Coaster Cam view through the 3DS' 3D screen. -
Parc Asterix Discussion Thread

It doesn't look like it - it looks like wind is making the tarp look fat in certain areas. Here's to hoping for the vest-style restraints from now on. -

NO. I HATE THIS. I loved being in the Firehouse when parades were going... This attraction is taking over the Firehouse location. -

That would be [censored]ing amazing. The student group I'm in is most likely going down there Sunday! -
I mean, if this was a transport system of some sort, I would have kept it - but the way the "rider" is restrained is just plain weird. Why would you ride a ride with a single leg sticking up in the air?
