I can't wait for No limits two. Apparently for the features I want (dual stations, storage bay) the app needs to be re-written ground up -- poor Ole. Let's hope Fairground is as good as it looks. Jose.

Those supports must have taken a long time -- good job there. Yellow and Black Attack! (Stryper Rulz) el oh el

Starts off pretty tame , then gets quite crazy! Very deceptive! It would be MADNess if it would be built! The end there is a doozy and original, I like it. Jose

Fun Ride! Reminds me of a little coaster at Canada's Wonderland!

This is Great!

This was fun. A LOT smoother than Big Thunder! Great job!

Is it me or is that photo an april fools joke. J

Welcome to the boards, thanks for the compliment. J.

I'm not normally one for pushing staying at a Disney resort while visiting WDW.... But yesterday I wanted to pop into MGM for a quick ride (didn't happen). Spring break + full lot = horrific traffic exiting a park by car. I've enclosed a map to show you guys the two lanes of bumper to bumper traffic. I moved two car lengths in about 10 minutes then found a trick way out. Buses get a short cut -- the same one I took. Be warned! Anyway -- just an fyi.

I'm on a Mac, so please consider that when on the track. Wish I had a track smoother and all the other tools. Also, I hate doing supports. Have fun! Coaster A.nltrack

Here's what I would have done Greg: First in terms of making things straight -- I would have made sure that the track is entirely lined up (the X area in the vertex panel) and used an element for the camelback and even a top hat element to work off of. I think the steel work is great though -- I'm so lazy, I would never do one of these coasters because I hate steel work. I am lazy. So hats off to you for that -- I could never do something that good. J.

Thanks for the Immelman! I'll have to try it out asap Used them: I'm going to have to say maybe try using some of Tia's tools...they don't feel as smooth as the elements (packs 1 and 2) that come with no limits. Sorry

The only Roller Coaster game for mac is No Limits. Ole (the programmer) has said he might discontinue it though.

What do you all think of the upcoming Dubailand? Personally, I'm a total whore for that town (Dubai)-- just think its so up and coming. The Burj, the new tallest building in the world, the largest shopping center in the world -- the vast new wealth from oil, half of the population being European, a neutral attitude towards faith. The statistics are incredible. At the time of completion the resort will have 200 000 employees (WDW has 50 000). I've attached a corporate brochure for an FYI. We are looking at a minimum 16 billion dollar investment. Dubailand.pdf.zip

Diddo. It was too early to eat this morning and I had no reason to wait around till they opened. Thought I'd get photos of those menus because a few people I know are interested in eating there. Jose 'Love Thai' Eber p.s. thought you might appreciate this as well:

THAT day? Did you read the date? That was today, this morning.

For your viewing pleasure: a silent film! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. BTMRR.MP4.zip

That boat thing was crazy...it was fun but I was like -- boy am I out of the loop -- never heard about it or saw it, and I live here. The Fast Pass for Jungle Cruise was cool too. Don't remember if DL has a Jungle Cruise Fast pass. I know Indy's fast pass is near the JC entrance. I'm at WDW almost every day -- If you like photos -- I can post photos. Here's some more of that noodle place -- I'm curious to try some of this stuff.

Have no idea -- but, I think some of us are worried (although OLC has a great reputation). I 'hate' to bring up current WDW rides -- but something like Mission -- is VERY expensive (200 million +) -- and there is little plot or story behind it..., its touted as a simulator... WDI just doesn't respect that for some of us, the point of visiting a theme park is to be entertained, not to be thrilled to death (or to the vomit bag) with intense or pedantic experiences (re: AK and EPCOT) Sorry, some people love that sort of thing, not me. TOT is great -- was on it the other night -- but often with these latter designed rides, artistry and technical prowess take center stage over something as simple as an entertaining narrative. That's kinda sad. Today I was actually lamenting that MK WDW doesn't have Alice or Casey Jr or the Storyland Canal. Those sorts of things are awesome -- because they work on all levels. You can take your kids there and have them enjoy it, and you enjoy what's going on as well. These huge a$$ rides are great only when they tell a great story. Space Mountain, Big Thunder mountain -- that is some cool stuff, but kids can ride them too because they won't go past 30 mph. I just know WDI is filled with artists and engineers (we do really need them) but very few entertainers or even innovators for that matter. I guess when Walt left -- no one entertainer at heart took his place. So, as much as I look really forward to an OLC project, I know who designs them, and those designers also design some of my least loved attractions. Money, or the amount of money spent has little to do with entertainment value when that money is being possibly spent on things that have little to do with entertaining people. I'm an unfair biased person I know, Jose.

I had the camera with me today: This is the castle...yayyyyy Actual fire! This restaurant was a surprise, totally never noticed it -- its not as obvious as Mercado -- freakin a its got some serious capacity. Never noticed this either -- it was fun. Got the bubble pit to go. This isn't the back to the future set. Winner -- best dress -- boy in lime green getup -- by 'Mom'. Runner up: "I love Canadian Beef" T shirt. Noodle time. Here's someone reminding us the best way to get into Magic Kingdom is through the Railroad. ?!?! Didn't think it was that busy. They want us to avoid Cinderellabration I suppose. At Typhoon the maps have been redone: Hopefully they will be replaced - can't wait to see the drawing. Donuts for breakfast. ___ Typhoon was empty -- hardly anyone there -- rain this morning scared people away -- also so windy -- white caps on Seven Seas Lagoon. A lot more pics (too big I guess) here.

The heaviest stay in the back...kids are often in the front. Or so I've been told. Ellissa: I'll check on the weight restriction. I did see a large family (just the parents were on the larger side) wipe out, but, that middle one is easy to wipe out on. Jose 'the wait sign maxes out at 120 minutes' Eber

That one hotel does look like Grand Floridian though -- so a bit of WDW light too. I'm going. Jose 'WDW NERD' Eber edit: No Pirates? HM or BTM? Oh boy -- hope those are on the map for the future!

Disney magazine had a blurb on that years ago -- at LEAST 10 years ago. They had a nice concept rendering. Epcot here is what -- 300 acres? DCA is at best 50-60 acres.

You have no appreciation for the long hours this guy has gone through for these recreations. In college I did rendering of some of my work and crap does it take a long time. And my stuff was static (buildings etc.) Its very rewarding -- but his sort of work is insane. Keep in mind he is not only rendering Silver Bullet -- but other attractions as well. Crazy. My hat is totally off to this guy such a labor intensive job. Jose.

diddo. Very curious how Paris will look. TDL's design looks slick. Great site searchin Super Crack. It would be interesting to see what size the bricks are, and if they variegate the dimensions of them from base to top.
