  1. I honestly have no clue what this is supposed to accomplish or do - so I pulled it. Frankly, this is quite weird.
  2. All those S&S rides were bought by the Happy Valley chain. We think it's an Xccelerator clone because how the support structure and layout look (who else makes a 100-foot tall arc with no supports?).
  3. Therein lies the difference between Mach Tower and Drop Tower - Drop Tower is a ride, and Mach Tower is an experience.
  4. Looks fantastic. The only thing I don't like is that your terrain has too many repeats.
  5. Yes, that is a very nice, thorough post... ...but that still won't stop me from making fun of the monotonous brake run. IN THE WORLD.
  6. Premier created the new trains as well as a new track design for use on Sky Rocket and the Yamaha coaster, and no one seemed to notice. The Skyloops have a vertical lift with an inverted crest followed by a 360-degree heart line roll. This doesn't even have a lift, it has a three-stage launch into a vertical twist. By your logic, every single roller coaster designed to fit in a narrow, long space has to be a Maurer Skyloop because anything else will be a "ripoff". There's a difference between "ripping off" and "competing". Also by your logic, every theme park fan site on the internet is a rip-off of Theme Park Adventure.
  7. Thorpe Park is acting childish. Doesn't B&M design the ride? Thorpe's creative department handles the theming for sure, but doesn't Thorpe submit their land plot and budget to a bunch of companies and selects their favorite design for the job?
  8. Just a quibble - the LSM propulsion on the Blitz coasters doesn't go all the way up the lift. The crest is completely gravity-powered. Other than that, looks great.
  9. SAVE TEH SKULL M...oh wait, too late.
  10. If they would have kept it, it would have ended up just like Six Flags America. Six Flags Ohio/WOA added so many major attractions in such short time, just like Six Flags America did when it was acquired - and Six Flags America wasn't able to invest in an original major attraction until Thomas Town in 2010.
  11. Yes it is. [/suckingupbypostingatprvideo]
  12. Three Ring Roller coaster is -like- an Arrow Loop & Corkscrew - with a BONUS HELIX!!!1!11! Direct translations are always funny. "Amazing Worl".
  13. Rotoshakes seem to be a maintenance nightmare. Six Flags America had one, Knott's had one, and now MOA is getting rid of theirs. The ride isn't even fun. It's like a slow, clunky top spin that takes up too much space. A Sky Roller probably wouldn't fit in Tak Attack's plot (it's rectangular, the Sky Roller uses a circular one), but the new Sky Fly possibly could. I really can't think of any other rides that Nickelodeon Universe doesn't have that would fit in that kind of plot.
  14. SUPERMAN IS THE TALLEST U FREAK get your facts right this is not the tallest nor fastest! There you go. Happy?
  15. When a cat sits at your first floor landing, and you put catnip at the top of the stairs, the cat will go to get their fix. You fill in the blanks.
  16. It might have a sudden spike in lateral Gs going around the twists. Being thrown to one side is painful, especially for a small ginger kid like myself. That's why I hate Wild Mouse coasters.
  17. Give Six Flags a year or so. They'll put a tacky Dippin' Dots wrap on the train chassis and ruin the theme, as per usual.
  18. I still think they should have incorporated a transfer table in the station. Then again, Abismo at Parque de Atracciones de Madrid seems to be doing just fine with one double-car train and it's an extended circuit.
  19. To add to that, names on the windows of Main Street buildings are probably the most straightforward tributes the parks make.
  20. Honestly, I think a Giant Inverted Boomerang would be a pain in the [censored] to paint. Silverwood kept Deja Vu's original scheme when they installed it. New trains for Iron Wolf will most likely improve the experience. The Mid-Atlantic doesn't have a stand-up (EDIT: forgot about Green Lantern, but Apocalypse and Green Lantern are like little brother/big brother when it comes to intensity). As for Deja Vu, they obviously relocated it for a good reason. It's not like a Roller Skater or a regular boomerang. This is an absolutely massive roller coaster, and it takes a lot of money to take apart, load up, move, and reassemble. They need to do something about those deathtraps they call restraints. The original train they showcased didn't have anywhere near as much padding as the finished trains do today.
  21. Hey, while we're at it, let's phone Fuji-Q and bring 'em in to put extra padding on the lap bars and add extra shoulder restraints! That would be great! All you would see in your on-ride photo would be your head sticking out of a black mess of restraint! Then, let's put catwalks along the entire length of the ride, including the twisty bits! That will make our rides safer! I mean, when Superman saves people from imminent fiery death, he clenches them in a choke hold as he flies away! We need to recreate that experience!
  22. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. Thanks, Derek, you made my day. I'm really excited for this ride. I don't care how long it takes them to build it, as long as its built right.
  23. Unfortunately, the NoLimits Pack Extractor does not work with OS X 10.7 because it's a PowerPC application. There's no way around it, unfortunately.
  24. The only thing I don't like is that tacky Superman shield. It looks like it could be ripped off of its support by a high gust of wind. Premier Rides certainly likes their holding brakes.
