  1. I am going to download this tonight, so excited! I have a question... there are two tiers to buy... the Parkitect 15.00 (basic) and the soundtrack version for 25.00. What is the difference? Does this mean the 15.00 version has no soundtrack to it, or simply that the 25.00 version includes the soundtrack to listen to outside of the game? (I know this one also includes wallpapers) Just curious, thanks!
  2. I think you should do Wicked Cyclone next, more compact and a great layout to model.
  3. 9/7/2015. Adrenaland lives! Hey guys, I know it's been a while but this project is very much alive after a catastrophic computer problem caused file corruption, Adrenaland Resort was rebuilt completely from scratch with more custom scenery, more detail, and what I hope is more experience and real life ride technology applied to the park. You will note several changes in the landscape, the lighthouse now sits higher up on a hill as it will be the icon landmark of the entire resort. Riptide is now an electromagnetically launched sequel to its lost sister, to be honest this one came out a lot better and will be the focus of today's update. Thanks for checking out my park! This indoor Reverchon crazy mouse has special effects and some great drops! The ART monorail runs through the center giving passengers a peek. The giant wheel is now at the center of the park, serving as a hub zone. New South Boardwalk (Grand Prix, mini golf, Beach Blasters S&S Towers) The new waterpark Neptune's Kingdom is not done yet, more on that later... Aww yeah... Riptide 2.0 in action! Airtime a-plenty. Ah the scream of magnets and the salt in the air makes for a great New England summer day. The vertical loop Riptide's MCBR and maintenance bay Gracefully soaring over the Atlantic The station Sit on the right side for an acceptable amount of wetness. Smuggler's Den 2.0 (no peeking inside yet) One of the new lower landings on the boardwalk
  4. If I get some extra cash I will certainly consider contributing to the kickstarter, this game looks like exactly what many of us want, as previously mentioned, an RCT-like game with newer rides and general updates. The wing coaster with catwalks looks particularly awesome and I am loving the selection of flat rides so far! Here's the rides I saw so far on the screenshots for those who do not read the blog... Coasters: Suspended (Arrow), Mack Wild Mouse, B&M Wing Coaster, Arrow Looper, Mini Coaster, Wooden Coaster Tracked Rides: Suspended Monorail, Steam Train Flat Rides: Top Spin, Topple Tower, Observation Tower, Teacups, Scrambler, Ferris Wheel, Pirate Ship, Carousel
  5. While I slightly prefer the Huss giant frisbee I loved Psyclone at Wonderland and I recall the motor makes this great sound while it's running. I am glad to see Kings Dominion add another modern flat ride to round out their collection. Psyclone at CW made by our friends at Mondial Whirrrrrrrrr.... Nice choice KD
  6. ^ I am also trying to find the person, phone number and or email of someone at Cedar Point that would ship to me, could one of you that have ordered or a CD staff point us in the right direction? Thanks in advance ! I will be painting and assembling my Fury 325 tonight , I'll show when it's done. By the way the new looping coaster model looks great!
  7. I am personally very pleased overall and excited to ride this next year, if these images prove to be legitimate. Griffon is in my Top 10 so I'm sure this will be great. Dive machine drops have a unique feeling to me, and that moment of anticipation in the holding brakes is so effective ! Mostly I'm excited to see a zero-g roll, after seeing one out on Baron I was hoping Cedar Point's not so secret project would sport one, wish granted!
  8. I am so excited to see two compact electromagnetic coasters coming to the east coast next year! I loved Tempesto and Gale Force looks even better! Between this and Phobia I already have two coasters within a 5 mile radius that are already quite thrilling and we haven't even gotten to the "big park's" announcements yet! It's just great in general to see a better quality of coaster coming to seaside parks like Iron Shark and now GF. Edit: pkdcoaster, Flitzer and Python are both still operating (Python kind of hurts so brace yourself...) Get those credits quick, they will both removed for Gale Force and the unknown coaster project for 2016. (which speculation seems to indicate will encompass the very vertical footprint of Gale Force)
  9. Hi Dorneykid, I actually emailed Matt Helms from merchandising and he called after, and then financial dept. took my cc# and shipped. His email is Matt.Helms@carowinds.com, hope this helps!
  10. I hope overall the nano coasters are successful in sales at CP and Carowinds, I have only built Thunder Road so far and it was super up to build and I think it looks great! Maybe we will even see a dive machine model for sale next year, might be time to buy a tiny bottle of orange paint... Cost wise I know Carowinds is charging $29.99 for Fury 325 model , I paid $19 for the prototype racer which will be sold at KD as Rebel Yell and Carowinds as Thunder Road respectively. They also have been showing off a Sheikra prototype so hopefully Busch parks will want to sell them.
  11. Coaster Dynamix has been posting some images on their facebook of their upcoming projects including the two new Cedar Point models in addition to MF. Gatekeeper (with gates!) Top Thrill Dragster (This one will be fun to paint!) Not Cedar Point, but the Coney Island Cyclone will be for sale directly on the CD website eventually.
  12. Carowinds was very nice about letting me order one by phone, they are sending out my Fury model tomorrow. For those of you interested in getting the "whole set" of CD Nanocoasters from CP, and want to order, you may be better off waiting until all 3 are done and just order them all together. In addition to Millennium Force, they will also be selling Gatekeeper and Top Thrill Dragster in the future. (I have my fingers crossed for a Maverick!)
  13. I ordered my Fury model this week and they were very nice about it over the phone. Thank you CD for making another awesome product, these look great! Can't wait to order the CP ones once I paint and assemble Fury! (I'll be sure to show it off here )
  14. Nanocoaster models from Coaster Dynamix were shipped over the weekend to the park! They made a model for Thunder Road and Fury 325. If anyone picks one up please share some photos!
  15. Nice start man, I love parks set in the mountains! I've been working on an RCT3 park set on mountain peaks for the last couple weeks, I may show off some progress once my first B&M has support beams. Keep up the great work!
  16. ^ Ah, ok shame on them for showing Intaminish track. at first glance I thought it might be some kind of promotion like that for Coca-Cola for example. I was just at the park a couple of weeks ago and every time I go by Dragon fire station I think what a shame it is to leave that plot open. I believe the station is currently used for a haunt but I can see it becoming a new coaster Someday. I try not to look too far into promos like this but I can fantasize about a maverick are blue fire style coaster coming to the park One day. Busch Gardens in Cedar point or two of the best parks in the world, any new addition to Busch Gardens is just gravy at this point.
  17. So another website is showing images of a promotional display being built near Darkastle. The area is taped off with red Coca Cola queue tape, and a sign reads "something thrilling is coming". What's interesting is underneath some cardboard packaging you can clearly see images of blood red coaster track on a background of a forest. The track looks realistic too, like Intamin or Mack style. Could anyone going to the park this week gather a little Intel on this teaser?
  18. We stopped at Seaside Heights, a city close to my heart and full of happy childhood memories to check progress since the tragedy of Hurricane Sandy. It was sad to see the big coaster and Stillwalk Manor gone but the park has been Zamperla'd out with some nice new stuff. For years I have been trying to ride the unusual Wizards Cavern dark ride coaster. The first time I went it was closed due to low crowds. Second time I went , the replacement was in pieces (Pirate Hideaway) This time I was able to ride, and there was a bit more track in the building than I actually expected. A fun little thing! Don't mind if I do... Not so crowded these days, I hope to see it return to its former self one day, some new attractions will be a big help. Shore Shot survived the wind A pretty centerpiece for this little park New Zamperla Air Race Super Storm was great! Unusual lite drop tower that spins while it bounces Jess and I take a spin on Pirate Hideaway The facade and drops Spiral lift From 2010 when she was new In 2010, ah that new coaster shine
  19. Just some photos from my June visit... Tempesto and Verbolten were both new to me and each had about a 45 minute wait. Verbolten was amazing , much better than I anticipated, just wish we had time for another ride. None of the other rides had wait times at all, including my favorite beast in the park , Griffin! What cracks me up is everyone in line was conplaining about the cheesy preboarding video , but not many people could understand how to buckle their harnesseses. I thought it was cool they give fanny packs to hold your stuff. It's small but it's fierce! -the late , great Robin Williams Love the colors on this thing Escape from Pompeii, the operators were cat calling ladies over the PA, other than that the theming was awesome, I remember when this was the new big ride , still great but don't sit in the front row unless you want wet shoes all day, the boat fills with water as it crests the lift. After just riding Fury the day before, Apollo doesn't pack the punch it used to but it's still a classic in a beautiful setting Apollos trains feature gold "finery" oooooooo To France! Alpengeist seems to have gotten a bit rough , but Banshee spoiled us No line and air conditioning and I this day my favorite dark ride outside of Disney, being a former Indiane Jones ToTFE dispatcher for 6 years makes it hard to dethrone ... Sky buckets! Nessie is still great I hope this coaster outlives me... I can't take another Arrow heartbreak right now, still recovering from the Wolf leaving Majestic horsey horse We are ready to fahrt! Super Griffin and it's daunting lift See? Daunting. Cedar Point... You can rebuild it. You can make it stronger, faster, better. You have the technology. Woosh Would love to see one of these big dive machines do a zero g roll like Baron Down again for maintenance two years later still couldn't ride oh well always next time
  20. I visited June 17 and man it was hot, over 100 degrees! The front gate was very crowded but most people wisely went for the water park. Some notes... Fury is my new #1 coaster out of my 294, which is no surprise since Leviathan was my favorite before it came along. I am in the minority of speed coaster fans , while the ones 200 feet or less haven't touched my top 10 and can't dethrone the Intamins up there, these giga speed coasters are amazing and I love the low to the ground maneuvers and that first drop is killer ! Intimidator is still good, no line for any coasters today on account of the heat. Afterburner was better than I remember, even after riding Banshee last year. The staff here was very nice for the most part, and were encouraging and giving lots of ice water to guests. Banshee's badass older brother Afterburn Love these intense inverted loops No wait time at all I still love you Intimidator It's just... ... I've found someone else. You can "see the heat" in this photo So good, plus the guy working here told us all the new coasters coming in the next 30 years. Jessie and I love B&Ms... She got her nails done to celebrate Fury! I took home a plush hornet... I couldn't resist. You could win stingers and hornet helmets too, but for some reason... No one was wearing them in the 100 degree heat We made it ! Best drop I've ever done, the slowing lift hill at the summit makes acrophobics like me cringe a little. Amazingly fast and massive amounts of airtime Sideways airtime is always great Loved this element We love it! We love the South and we will be back for the next one! Thanks for the hospitality Carolina's!
  21. 1. Beast 1.3 miles 2. Son of Beast with Loop 1.3 miles 3. Fury 325 1.2 miles 4. Millennium Force 1.2 miles 5. California Screamin' 1.1 miles 6. Steel Force 1.1 miles 7. Leviathan 1 mile 8. Mean Streak 1 mile 9. Bizarro (SFNE) 1 mile 10. Ride of Steel (DL) 1 mile
  22. If Morey's Piers ever builds their new woodie in NJ it will in fact span two parks, thanks to a beach bridge. Back on topic... after returning from a trip to BGE and riding the awesome Griffon, I am so hoping for an even bigger and better diving coaster at CP! Check out that span!
  23. For Michael, I had the same problem last year for Bizarro, I was turned away on three attempts even after passing the test seat. Yesterday I was able to ride which was a pleasant surprise considering I haven't lost all that much weight, it kind of rests on your legs. For WiCy, I rode 6 times yesterday, and needed a little extra push from the checker maybe twice. Anyways... I found El Toro to be a bit more difficult to get on, to compare it to Wicked Cyclone. The restraint will not click, but rather just need to be in the right position for it to register with the dispatcher. I saw people being turned away from Bizarro yesterday but not once did I see someone turned away from WiCy. I would say if you can get on El Toro, you won't have a problem getting on WiCy. There is also a test seat before the marquee on the left side if you aren't sure. I think your chances are good, bud.
