Liseberg! (Crap! Robb beat me to it!)

I don't know about any of that 2007 stuff--but I am so going on the Scandinavian trip! Erik "first name's Norse, last name's Danish" Elness

^ Agreed. While what makes the environment "fun" can vary from park to park, it definitely needs to be there. They all pay pretty badly, in my experience. To my knowledge, Universal Orlando pays the highest starting wage for ride ops at the moment: $7.25 an hour (or $7.50 if you have 2 years of previous guest service experience). Of course, some places end up paying decently if you're there long enough. Some parks also have some pretty good benefits. Both in the traditional sense (medical, 401k), and in the more esoteric sense. For example, Cedar Point holds weekly employee ride nights during the summer, while Universal Orlando and BGA/SWO employees get into all four parks free. You also tend to get a fair amount of free tickets to your park, and free admission to all the other parks in your chain (as well as the park you work at, of course).

1. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man 2. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye 4. The Timber Mountain Log Ride 5. Men In Black: Alien Attack Hmmm...all dark rides (by my wide definition).

Hrmmm, alright. So the closed off, boarded up stuff that's all flooded-mine-ish isn't where the flooded mine attraction actually was? Looks like I put 2 and 2 together and came up with 7. Oh well, thanks for the info!

Yeah. Actually, Dragons needs 9 just to open (1 train on each side, with no breaks or Express person). Um...you'll just have to trust me on this one.

Yeah.

Probably too easy, but I'll try it anyway:

Does anyone have any info on these rides? I know that SDC's still exists, but does anyone know the story behind why Dollywood's stands idle and boarded up? Here are some pictures of what you can still see of Dollywood's:

I sent 48. But I feel sort of bad about it. Did I just participate in a lynch mob? Oh well.

Last time I was there--about a week or two ago--I spotted a set of (extra) seats from Timber Tower sitting back by the Thunderhead maintenance area. Possibly that's what you saw...?

Actually, I didn't. And, I wouldn't trust that anyway. It is Lagoon, though, I'm fairly sure.

Well, I see the smiley face...but how did I "cheat"?

^ Lagoon

Another vote for "The Drop" on GhostRider! Not actually "The Drop," but what occurs immediately afterward. (Photo from Theme Park Review.)

Yeah, I agree with the choice of Six Flags Over Georgia. But help me out here: Where are the "ungood" Goliath's? Because the ones in Holland and LaRonde look pretty cool, and SFMM's is in my personal Top 10.

Nope. The goal is to see what you can come up with in tight quarters. And, yes, the name is from Family Guy.

Millennium Force This photo was taken by Urs, the Intamin electrical engineer who was with us for most of the ride's inaugural season. Sadly, I don't recall who/where I got this picture from. Apologies.

Here's screenshot of my completed park: "Bob's Funland" ending point.

Yep. Beech Bend it be.

Here's a scenario I created. It's not too hard, and there's nothing to look at outside the park gates--but it does require a bit of planning due to the park's rather small size. Anyway, it's just for fun. But if anyone out there does play it, it would be great if you could post a screenshot from your completed park, so that everone can see the different results derived from the same starting point.

Okay, it's been two days, and not a peep out of dwerling.... *Bing*

Ding ding ding! Yes, it's part of the waterfront at SeaWorld Orlando.

Nope. It's a US park.
