  1. I think just because there is no theming in the video it doesn't mean that there won't be theming around where the ride is. I'm not the head of SFMM but in the press release it did say that there was going to be theming around the coaster (and for those of you that just watched the video and didn't read the press release and then b*tched about the ride...READ THE PRESS RELEASE! Reading is good for you) In my opinion I think this is a great addition to the park. Having ridden most woodies on the west coast (and my favorite being Tremors at Silverwood) I'm very excited for this coaster. I have become a huge fan of GCI woodies and they really know how to design a coaster that doesn't have to be the biggest, fastest, tallest, or most advanced in technology in the world to make it a great ride. They just straight up design great coasters. And if those so-called "hardcore" coaster enthusiasts on this forum that complain about how short it is...THEN DON'T RIDE IT! My feeling is, if you complain about it because it's not what you wanted it to be then you suck at keeping an open mind for new experiences. That's what GCI delivers. Every GCI I have been on has delivered a different ride experience (unless it's a clone of course). I think if a place like Bonfante Gardens said they were building this then no one would b*tch about it because it's such a great ride for that park. You have realize that SFMM can't build coasters that are bigger and better than the previous coaster they built or they will go bankrupt. And since they are going for a more family friendly style park I think this is a great addition. So I say "Way to go Six Flags Magic Mountain. I will glady drive out to California the day this opens so I can say that I was one of the first to ride it." And I will do it without being a little punk and complain about the name or theming or anything. I'm glad you guys are building a quality coaster! Jimmy "Six Flags Magic Mountain Rocks" Bo
  2. ^ Be careful about that. The title fairy might give you something like "Sarah Palin is good looking hockey mom" Miss and/or Mr. Title fairy...can you please grant me a new title that states "Mr. October" as pictured in my avatar from the awesome TPR Swimsuit Calender. Thank you in advance Jimmy "Still TPR's drunkaholic" Bo
  3. Great News Robb and Elissa! I can't wait for the new RAW videos. I really enjoyed your first one after, no offense, thinking I wouldn't like it. I think you guys have a good thing going with the RAW videos. You guys really know how to pull an audience into the whole ride experience while not blasting the video with sometimes annoying songs.

  4. Sending another one from Arizona that shows our wonderful monsoon season. Can't wait to see a PTR of all the postcards you get!
  5. Pretty much a thing of the past. The last one I created was last December. I've been playing around with it but nothing really worth posting so I figured I'd put all the ones I've finish up here. At least if they ever come out with the Scream Machines 2 I will still be used to all the controls.
  6. ^^Thanks Matt, I was drunk when I built some of these coasters so that makes them extra special. Part 2 will be coming soon...work has been pretty crazy the past week so I haven't had time to upload everything. JimmyBo
  7. I have some advice! Skip Nor Cal and come to AZ! Arizona needs a Big Mike sighting! If that doesn't work out then have fun in Cali, the state I lived in for 22 years. Sad thing is, you might get more credits in that state than I do...you bastard. Jimmy "Arizona needs Big Mike" Bo
  8. Here's my order... 1. Kraken ~ I just love the layout plus the loop that is burried half in the ground. 2. Superman - La Atraccion De Acero (Spain) ~ It's great when a B&M doesn't have a mid-course brake run to slow it's momentum down. This ride was great and I love the floater hill and the fact that we almost killed a bird when rideing it. 3. Superman Krypton Coaster ~ A coaster built half on top of a ravine and half on the bottom...what more can you ask? The first drop and loop are amazing. 4. Medusa (West coast) ~ Gotta love the non-cobra roll whatever it's called. It's a great parking lot coaster! 5. Scream! ~ Parking lot coaster that shakes a lot...not a fan.
  9. Knight Rider Stats Type: Intamin Launch Coaster Length: 4,350ft Speed: 70mph Launch Speed: 0-70mph in 1.5 seconds Height: 170ft Max Drop Height: 165ft Max G-Forces: 4.0 Time: 1:25 Info The last launch coaster I created was not named after the stupid Knight Rider remake that is back on TV, but named after the TV show with The Hoff. That’s right, I named a coaster after a show with David Hasselholf…got a problem with that? Then take it up with the Germans. The original Knight Rider car could definitely do the tricks this coaster takes you through…the new Knight Rider car can fall off a cliff and burn in hell for all I care. This launch coaster has a station fly through where the track goes directly over the waiting passengers in the next coaster train. Please enjoy Knight Rider Music: Tocata by ELP Knight Rider.wmv Knight Rider Video Most of the layout The Figure 8 The bunny hop with loads amount of airtime The tower Station Fly-through The hop over the hill The first turnaround
  10. Iceberg Stats Type: Intamin Launch Coaster Length: 7,400ft Speed: 95mph Launch Speed: 10-95mph in 3 seconds Height: 295ft Max Drop Height: 295 Max G-Forces: 3.75 Time: 2:00 Info This frozen, hairy, tall yeti has 3 vertical towers with 90 degree drops on all of them. The launch and first spike have never been done before on any coaster. The train shoots skyward and then turns 180 degrees, crests the top hat, then turns 270 degrees as it drops to the frozen earth below. Then there are the other top hats with plenty of airtime while soaring over the top. Not to mention, this creation has a station flythrough where people better not drop their hats near the track or they will be the headless horseman for Halloween. Please enjoy Iceberg Music: Zion by Fluke Iceberg.wmv Iceberg Video High speed turn Going down Most of the layout Station Flythrough where people lose thier hats Slicing through the supports The overbanked turns The second vertical tower The first of three vertical top hats
  11. Deadman’s Curve Stats Type: Intamin Inverted Launch Looping Coaster Length: 6,800ft Speed: 85mph Launch Speed: 10-85mph in 2 seconds Height: 250ft Max Drop Height: 200 Inversions: 8 Max G-Forces: 4.0 Time: 2:15 Info This is one coaster that I know will probably never be built because it is just too huge for any park and takes out a big area. Maybe Hard Rock Park can build this coaster and not file for Chapter 11. With that being said, this was the first coaster I created on Scream Machines as a “Fantasy” coaster meaning that I knew it couldn’t and wouldn’t be built. Why can’t it be built you may ask? Well, just ride it and tell me you could survive it. The thing is built over freaking lava people, it would melt! Please enjoy Deadman’s Curve Music: Judas Kiss by Metallica Deadmans Curve.wmv Deadman's Curve Video Looking up at the giant Immelman Some supports are already melting Coming close to the lava The "Spiral Staircase" Section The enormous Cobra Roll Looking down at the inverted top hat
  12. The Monster Stats Type: Premier Compact Launch Looping Coaster Length: 3,250ft Speed: 60mph Launch Speed: 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds Height: 110ft Inversions: 6 Max G-Forces: 4.5 Time: 1:20 Info My buddy Doug and I designed this coaster while we were bored in an engineering class at the University of Arizona. He went on to become a graduate from the college and a successful engineer while I was kicked out of school (that’s a whole other story in itself) With that info aside, this coaster is very compact and offers a lot. This is a lot like the Flight of Fear clones that Premier Rides has released at some parks. While the color scheme may hurt some people’s eyes and feel like you are on an acid trip, at least it gets your attention. Hell, maybe even the people that are on drugs might enjoy this coaster.

  13. Colossus Stats Type: Intamin Launch Looping Coaster Length: 5,000ft Speed: 67mph Launch Speed: 10-67mph in 2 seconds Height: 150ft Max Drop Height: 135ft Inversions: 14 Max G-Forces: 4.0 Time: 1:55 Info Technically Colossus is a launch coaster but the launch just gets you up to the top of the coaster, taking out the boring lift hill because the only reason lift hills were made for were for making out with your partner. When plummeting down to earth after the first drop, it’s all inversions after that…14 to be exact. Colossus was named after the coaster with the same name that opened at Thorpe Park and had the most inversions on any coaster. While this Colossus is nothing like Thorpe’s, this one definitely packs a punch with the amount of different types of inversions. Please enjoy Colossus Music: (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth by Metallica Colossus.wmv Colossus Video Boomerang Corkscrew over the first drop Loopy loop (Here you go Derek) Upside down, this is where you lose your hat Dive Loop over the Cobra Roll A few of the many inversions Overall layout of the ride
  14. MAGNUM Stats Type: Premier Launch Looping Coaster Length: 5,260ft Speed: 74mph 1st Launch Speed: 0-52mph in 3.5 seconds 2nd Launch Speed: 25-72 in 2 seconds Height: 205ft Max Drop Height: 200ft Inversions: 4 Max G-Forces: 3.5 Time: 1:50 Info While in Las Vegas for my 21st birthday, I really enjoyed riding SPEED at the Sahara. I figured that when I got back that I could make a launch coaster with 2 launches just like SPEED. MAGNUM offers 2 launches and 4 structures where the coaster is in complete darkness and maneuvers through inversions and launches. In the middle part of the ride there is a 205ft spike with plenty of airtime to offer while cresting the top. Too bad the word on the street is that SPEED is closing…maybe they can replace it with this coaster instead? Any takers? PM me and I will sell you the rights to this coaster and it can be the best on the strip. Otherwise, the best coaster on the Las Vegas strip is taking a cab ride for at least 5 mintes.

  15. Blue Thunder Stats Type: Intamin Launch Coaster Length: 5,015ft Speed: 87mph Launch Speed: 0-87mph in 1.5 seconds Height: 125ft Max Drop Height: 240ft Max G-Forces: 3.5 Time: 1:55 Info Blue Thunder was my first launch coaster on Scream Machines. This coaster was definitely near the early stages of me playing around on Scream Machines as some of the transitions weren’t very smooth and some turns were a little off. I still like this ride even though it could use some TLC (no, not the old-school rap group because the “L” is dead). Watch out for the little dip after the launch before the spike, it definitely offers some pop of airtime and will chop your head off. Please enjoy Blue Thunder Music: One by Metallica Blue Thunder.wmv Blue Thunder Video View of the layout Looking down at the top hat and tunnels Another angle of the dive under the entrance The turnaround Overbanked turn over the entrance The dive under the entrance An overbanked turn The top hat
  16. Shark Attack Stats Type: Intamin Inverted Looping Coaster Length: 4,330ft Speed: 65mph Height: 170ft Max Drop Height: 155ft @ 87 degrees Inversions: 8 Max G-Forces: 4.0 Time: 2:00 Info This is the second to last coaster I created on Scream Machines and I feel it is one of my best. While there aren’t too many Intamin Inverted Looping Coasters (non-launch) I feel this is one that could definitely be built. The first drop on this coaster is a lot like Theme Park Review’s Number 1 Steel Coaster, Expedition G-Force, in that it twists while continuing down a very steep drop. Plus, this coaster travels low to the water and if you have long legs like some of our TPR gentle giants then a shark will eat your feet. Please enjoy Shark Attack Music: X-Squad by George S Clinton (he’s the baby between Monica and Bill) Shark Attack.wmv Shark Attack Video Immelman under the lift hill Batwing over the water The first turnaround The loop The steep drop and the first half of the ride Corkscrew Second half of the layout Immelman under the lift hill First half of the ride layout Cobra Roll
  17. I will edit each post once I post all the coasters for Part 1 and place in downloadable videos
  18. Fireball Chaos Stats Type: B&M Inverted Looping Coaster Length: 5,005ft Speed: 68mph Height: 185ft Max Drop Height: 170ft Inversions: 9 Max G-Forces: 3.5 Time: 2:25 Info Unfortunately I didn’t create many Inverted Looping Coasters but I believe that this is my favorite out of the few I did create. This beast unleashes hell on its riders while it burns their flesh off…ok not really. Some inversions are taken so fast the riders are pushed against their seats while other inversions are taken slow so the riders feel as they are floating through the inversions. This coaster has some tunnel effects which Scream Machines didn’t offer very well so I had to create all tunnels by hand. Note, there is no B&M pre-drop after the lift because I feel that B&M can still operate coasters without the little dip. That little pre-drop is a weird feeling when your sitting in the backseat. Please enjoy Fireball Chaos Music: Fire by Scooter Fireball Chaos.wmv Fireball Chaos Video The helix half underground Immelman looking back at most of the layout Zero-Gravity Roll looking back at the drop Corkscrew over the lift hill Cobra Roll half burried in the ground Batwing into the tunnel The huge Vertical Loop (Derek would be proud)
  19. Mountain Express Stats Type: Arrow Dynamics Terrain Suspended Coaster Length: 4,650ft Speed: 60mph Height: 175ft (Highest to lowest point) Max Drop Height: 110ft Max G-Forces: 3.5 Time: 2:15 Info This is no Eagle’s Fortress but I tried to deliver the same kind of feeling on this creation. Mountain Express travels alongside a mountain and weaves in and out of canyons and comes within inches of hitting nearby trees. While Scream Machines was playing around with the Suspended Coaster Model while I created this, the physics are not totally there when it comes to the swing of the coaster cars. It kind of sucks that Arrow Dynamics had to go out of business because this would be a perfect design to bring them back on the map. I definitely would not want S&S Power to try and build a suspended coaster…they will probably throw a launch in there or make it go vertical or something stupid like that. Please enjoy Mountain Express Music: Suicide and Redemption by Metallica Mountain Express.wmv Mountain Express Video Most of the layout Swinging away Over the river and through the woods to...you know the rest OVER 90 DEGREES!

  20. Roaring Eagle Stats Type: B&M Terrain Flying Coaster Length: 4,350ft Speed: 54mph Height: 175ft (Highest to lowest point) Max Drop Height: 100ft Inversions: 9 Max G-Forces: 3.0 Time: 2:15 Info This B&M flyer was created before Six Flags Magic Mountain announced Tatsu. I wanted SFMM to get a B&M flyer and I was hoping it would be something like this design. While Tatsu is an amazing ride in itself, I think it was funny to see that it had a Pretzel Loop while coming off the mountainside, just like I have here in this design. I could sue Six Flags for stealing my idea but I have a feeling that they have some pretty awesome lawyers and they would win the battle. Please enjoy Roaring Eagle.

  21. Welcome to JimmyBo’s Scream Machines This thread is dedicated to all the coasters I created with a coaster creating program called “Scream Machines”. This program was released awhile ago, probably around the same time as No Limits. I never got on the No Limits bandwagon and I kept creating coasters using Scream Machines. This thread will show you, the reader, what I have created from 2002-2007. I haven’t created a coaster since December of 2007 but that doesn’t mean I can’t share with you what I have done. There will be a couple pictures and a video for each ride. Here are some Disclaimers before you read on… 1. You must have a sense of humor to read this thread. As some of you may know, I am a very sarcastic person and not a lot of things I say should be taken seriously. With that aside…Robb is fat. 2. These coasters are my creations and if I see any parks that build exact clones of these rides you will here a call from my lawyer. If you are with B&M, Intamin, GCI, or any other coaster design firm or manufacturer and you would like to talk about the rights to these coasters then PM and we can talk about it. 3. I don’t want to see posts they only say “Cool ride. I wish it were real” Really? You wish it were real? I wish it were a paper airplane and that’s why I created it in the first place! If you post “I wish it were real” then please give feedback of why you wish it were real. Give an example of the part of the ride you like or whatever. 4. Any and all feedback is welcome. Even if you say “JimmyBo, you are stupid and I hate you” then I will reply “I know where you live”. Again, any feedback is welcome. 5. While some of these coasters were being built, companies that built the type of ride went out of business (CCI and Arrow Dynamics). Please don’t tell me “They went out of business”. I’m not going to go back and change a ride type because a company went out of business. It was the company’s fault. This thread will be broken down into 3 parts (hopefully, if everything goes well).

  22. 11 beers! That's cutting it close to my record! But I finished all of my 24 in an entire day...while on the clock at work I might add. Damn, I sure wish I could have been there for the beers. Screw the park and Atlantis, it's all about the beer! Jimmy "Buy my DVD b*tches" Bo
  23. That park looks amazing. So much attention to detail and theming around the entire. park. Looks like they had a good ride package there too with coasters AND flats. Great pictures as always Old Man.
