Twister II

It's looking awesome so far! I think it's kinda funny how in that animation you have the train in the station, but it looks like the train on in the circuits stats is up! Going in a straight line to dispatch from 0 to 3 vertical G's would be interesting!

So... worst, worst case scenario... if an object (I'd wager a bird) were to hit the button during the course of the ride, the restraints would stay closed, right? (i.e. The buttons would have to be manually pushed in-station?) Here is my guess: That in the station, a circuit would have to be closed for the restraints to open. So when the train is in the station, it would park over a sensor of some sort completing the circuit making it possible for the restraint to open. Just a guess. Also, Im sure these new trains will be keeping the seatbelt on the restraints. Also, with these new trains, it raises a question. These trains are lighter weight than the previous trains. So wouldn't these new trains be flying threw the course much faster than the older trains? It would cause for a more forceful ride and quicker ride time, meaning 'stacking' of trains could occur more often. Is there going to be any type of trim breaks installed to slow down the train?

Ha! A lot of the economic income for select countries in Asia is tourism. I would probably use it as a seller thought...

To live in Denver, I don't think I could do. However, there are some very nice suburbs of Denver (Littleton, Westminster, etc) Even Boulder, a 20 minute drive, is a very very nice town and very very pretty.

Update! (kinda) It is confirmed that SeaWorld Hawaii is expanding! The only details I can share right now are these slight hints: - Balls - Food - 2 Trains Sources do not know if a roller coaster will be involved yet. But from what I have heard, the park has been planning and looking forward to this expansion since opening year! Stay tuned for more soon!

The only problem I see with the train in that the wheels are way to small. For rides that go at higher speed (especially if it is on that same track you built) the trains need a MUCH bigger wheel. These wheels will support the train better, holding more weight, and have a lower RPM (rate per minute), so in all the friction between the wheel and the axle will be less, making the train more effective. Look at those big wheels on Superman The Escape! http://rcdb.com/ig140.htm?picture=12

^ Haha, thank you! I will let you guys know now. There are three weeks left in the trimester at school. So at times, SeaWorld Hawaii will probably have much slower and seldom updates. But just stick in there with me!

The Oronga track pieces were used to make Peregrine. So Oronga will not be returning. The remaining track pieces (it was a very long ride after all) were sent back the the B&M metal company for some extra money. Well, when the park was still under the CD5 company, it was a monorail. It would take guests around in an "underwater" learning experience. Now The Seas at SeaWorld Hawaii is much faster, more exciting, and with more scenes than previously before. Good question. The ride does take up a LOT of land. However, the park has put millions into transforming the ride from what it was before. I even heard it took over $200,000 just to theme the queue!

OOOooooo, American Idol? That's a good one!!! Year 5 Closing up the season... Some guests think it's a roller coaster, but it really isn't. More SOON! Tell me what you think! WOW! People are actually going on The Seas! While riding Great White, I snapped this quick photo. Maui Sun rotates. The park so far doesn't have much of a selection of rides. Maui Sun and Water Spout are really the only 'thrilling' rides. The polar bears were missing today. =[ They are usually my favorite. Some areas of the park were just packed! Look at that line for Water Spout! The first inversion is an intense one! It really is much much more cool than a dive loop. Haha Right across the way is Peregrine. It has a very open air station, much like the other dive coaster SWH sister park, SheiKra. These new walls will also help keep water out from flooding the stadium. It's also much better looking than the old and dull gray walls! Over the past couple of months, crews completely destroyed the old entrance to the Believe stadium! It looks much better now!

^ Okay...But what you put in SeaWorld's water park (if they were to even get one) to make it compete with other water parks on the island?

Haha, I totally forgot about that!!! SeaWorld's Pergine was made from Hershey's Oranga and Tidal Wave. I forgot to mention that. Sorry. But I totally spaced the name! I literally just searched, "birds of prey" on Google and it came up, haha! There will be some more pictures of it coming soon, I promise!!! Currently the park is brain storming ideas on how to attract more patrons. But the park wants YOUR opinion! If you ran a park, how would you attract guests? Post your ideas here! I got an example from an insider friend of what the park is thinking of so far; - Concert series - Future expansion - Water park - New restaurants - and more...

*yawn* Nothing like a morning update! Year 5 A general update from SeaWorld Hawaii Recently, I've heard that the park has been having problems with guests attendance. Reports have been falling every quarter, not by much, but a steady decline. The Hawaiian Sun Newspaper reports that the same type of problem is facing the other near by amusement park, Hershey's Hawaiian Escape. Rumors say one will be closing its gates! That just seems doubtful to me... A park representative said that in the near future, SeaWorld Hawaii will be trying new 'ways' to get attendance back up! Only time will tell.... The second and final inversion on Peregrine. Yup, that's a new coaster! Sting Ray was stuck on the break run for a while today. I did not open back up. I feel sorry for the bears! Look how close they are to those rides! Must be scary... Same with the Believe Stadium... It's probably going under some type of refurbishment. Im really confused why the park closed down Fusion Theater... Once again with more trees over by Great White! This was taken from the queue. Some improvements have been happening since the park 'closed' a couple months ago. One is over by the hospitality center...can you see a difference??? The park's Shamu's Happy Harbor is doing great too! It has become quite a hit with the families! I really do like the entrance, it just glimmers in the Hawaiian sun! "Only time will tell." MORE SOON!!! Let me know what you think!

So just wondering, when it says March 2008, does that mean the opening date for the park? Or when Year 1 starts? So far, looks great!

^ ShyGuy's Circus Center pack. Im glad to see some changes coming along. Especially with Bullet

I think your talking about the Believe stadium decorations. It's not a building at all, just decorations that are being refurbished and colored inside the Believe stadium. These colors will give the stadium a much more fun feeling!

HAHA! A blue alpine house would be a sight.... But I mean some colors like yellow, light brown, light red, something settle and not obscene like lime green. haha

What buildings are you referring to? The building posted in the last update, with the scaffolding, is the Believe stadium.

So far, it's looking great!!! I do think the colors are pretty...bland. That they are all the same, you should try putting some more yellows and different colors than white and brown in.

Ready? Year 5 Coming Soon...

Currently, The park IS being worked on! Expect an update within a couple weeks.

I think Universal could you another park...

Your buildings with the generic themeing looks great! However, Bullet should be much much much smaller. It would look more realistic and some guests would probably go on it then. I really like the wild mouse thought! Also, try doing some of this: Click on your scenery button > click on fences > scroll to the bottom and expand the Circus Center pack > select the pathway edges. By placing those around your park, it will make it look much more realistic and beautiful!

That was awesome! Very smooth, and very GCI-ish. You did an awesome job with this!

Im really interested to see how this ends up! I really like building eurofighters, and making (or trying to) make one right now!

Great! Don't let anyone get their feet cut off!
