Exactly. Their explanation is 'the Schwarzkopf rides were too expensive for maintenence', which i guess means that they actually cost anything for maintenence. The only thing they have done to corkscrew in the last year or two is put that ridiculous padding on the inside of the restraints, which i can barely fit my head through!

Yeah i downloaded your most recent coaster, and i really liked it! I also like that you took the trouble to make your own supports and station which, by the way, was excellent! One thing i would like to see, though, is a family wooden coaster with this kind of layout. It would do you some good as a designer to experiment bit more! I went through a long period of making just jet coasters too, and i can see why you make them almost exclusively!

Ok my coaster's finished, but be warned the structure of it is INSANE. Not the track layout, but the supports and such. I had about 3 hours to kill, so i wasn't going to settle for a bog-standard 'off the shelf' support structure. I'll post some screenshots from the sim at some point!

Hmmmm sounds interesting... I'll have a think EDIT: Thinking done! I have a question about supports... with a footer, can the concrete part go outside the box if the node stays inside?

Fresh from Yelp.com: 'Notes to self: 1) Don't wear a cap if you're going to go on the rollercoasters because they make you take it off (wasn't too happy sitting there with total hat hair) 2) bring minimal personal belongings and put them in your pockets or else will have to use their lockers which charge an arm and leg 3) put belongings in a waterproof pouch if you want to ride water rides because you WILL get wet.' Wow, i've seen the light.

grrr im sick of pop and indie, BRING BACK ALTERNATIVE ROCK!!!

Technically we aren't "off topic" we are just choosing a more visually appealing and entertaining way of expressing our thoughts. Aahh very shrewd

And that's why TPR's so fun! Hell yeeah Although.... BPB have a bit of reputation of being a-holes with the GP and lying through their teeth to gain publicity (such as when they claim PMBO to be 235 feet tall, which is measured from sea-level, when it is actually 213. Wtf?).... but at the same time that article is gosh darn PAINFULLY written, like a 13 year old wrote it! How the hell is BPB not going to be pissed at them for it? bah Anyway, back off-topic we go!

I love the irony of the admin of this site going totally, nay, INSANELY off-topic in a serious discussion.... ... But at the same time, sexual harrassment rocks!!

Goddamn! It is really inexcusable to run a major park this way. There are crappy traveling fairs that are more organized than this dump, and (by the looks of it) better rides too! How do the owners expect to make any money with such poor rides and capacity? At this rate, Fuji-Q will quite swiftly run itself into the ground A day i personally look forward to! Darn that update has made me angry

Damn! My external hard drive (where nolimits is) got wet and is fluffed! Ill get it fixed asap! I may well not make the end of the contest though

Agreed. Bruises are a sign of bad designing, which should have been ironed out by now! But general roughness or boistrousness is all part of the fun! And you bruise less if you go limp

Damn you!

Nope, never been in my life! Brighton is a bit of a hole anyway! A hard one!

Im gigging tonight with a band whose guitarist is a lazy ass so i'm standing in! Learned 25 songs last night, yay!

Happy birthday vekoma-hater! Well, for yesterday at least!

Jeez! Do you people have glass bones and paper skin or what?! A little pain is never bad on a coaster! Perfectly smooth coasters are so boring unless you can get a total genius like John Wardley to design them! (Nemesis, Oblivion, etc)

Here its -2C in the day and -6C at night... BRRRRRRRRR!!

Peaches by Presidents of the united states of america A godamn kickass freakin' song! In fact, anything by them is, check em out!

The last gig i went to was Foo fighters in june 2006, supported by Eagles of Death Metal, The Subways, Angles and Airwaves (booooo!!), and the Strokes. And it kicked ultimate ass!

Am i allowed to un-AHG the first section? i always hand-build my coaster and it makes it nearly impossible when half of it is AHG'd!

I may jolly well join you!

Mine is of me and the worst guitar i have ever played sharing some quality time on the hottest May 6th i had ever experienced!
