Awesome, the space/future themed area is awesome. THe shuttle loop and station is absolutely beautifully, and the layout as well as theming of the flying turns is awesome. This park is so impressive and you attention to detail is amazing. I am very much looking forward to your first custom scenario in the future, of course not saying I want this to end or anything cause its awesome, but you could be a NE designer if you try. This is extremely impressive and I am looking forward to more!

My sisters began to watch it and then I saw some episodes and it is actually a very clever show. The characters are relatable, and the show has enough drama involved to make it feel real. I am kind of looking forward to tomorrow now as the Sue sneaky gays video was really funny and kind of got me pumped up.

^ I dont think anyones arguing that TTDs a stratta, its over 400 feet tall, it is a stratta. http://screamscape.com/html/gardaland.htm Anyone else think the rumored B&M may eventually end up at Busch? Robb said Backo would be a good fit, which lance says this coaster will be similar to, and Busch and B&M have a very strong relationship. I would have posted any other info if there was any on the rumored coaster type, but its happening at Gardaland so I linked it to there. This coaster makes some sense to me so far... it would be very unique and could be advertised as the first of its kind in the US, it is like Backo, and B&M has a good track record and a good relationship with Busch.

And after reading through this thread I now officially announce Indy to have the coolest que in the world. Honesly this does kind of suck though. I went to IOA for the first time over the past summer with express passes, so we never got to see the full DD que, but what we saw was awesome. The lost continent as a whole is an extremely original area and was the only area of the park besides Port of Entry not themed to any movies or characters. BTW what does Mythos look like now? Also, what happens to Poseidon's Fury?

I dont have enough money to buy pins... but I want them all..... Stupid Disney obsession. Oh well, I am pretty happy I just got a steamboat wiile pin and I have a Jack Skellington pin whose face changes. I am kind of getting this obsession though, and will for sure when I have more money. I am looking for a Mushu pin, Oogie Boogie, and random others that get my attention. Disney in general is a guilty obsession. If I dont go at least once a month there goes my month.

Thanks guys, yeah, it should take me quite a while to still get this thing done. I am literally about to work on it right now. ^^ By the way it is kind of the picture. I accidentally added a track piece and did not like it, but forgot to remove it before I took the picture, so it distorts the new picture. TPman, the drop is the first thing is being worked on, but how would I do that semi easily without destroying the main first drop?

Ghosters International is essentially the same thing as Koolkid, meaning this is an archive for all my coasters. I prefer to design wooden coaster but there will be some steel coasters at some point for sure. Also if anyone is interested at all in teaming up to work on a California Screamin inspired coaster let me know through PM or through commenting. I have always wanted to make one but every time I try I epically fail. I will, however, be making some wooden inspired coasters in the future, mostly based on coasters that seem to be TPR favorites that are not ridicoulasly complicated. Also FYI at the moment I do not use 3ds although I have quite a few, I want to make sure I can use them well and make them look nice before commiting to using them. COASTER 1: HOUND For the first time GCI's coaster portfolio is going to include an out and back/twister layout which is somewhat common on rides like ghostrider and was a primary CCI style. The coaster was made for a park in England, which was looking for more of a CCI style coaster than an all out twister. THe ride is themed to a hound chasing a fox in the woods, hence the name Hound. Track completion-About 70%(I also need to try to smooth out a few parts, its running okay, but not like a GCI should) Terraforming is at about 5% although I forgot to take a picture. It will be pretty well landscaped considering it is themed to chasing foxes which generally live in hills. Supports:I am lazy so I will use the auto supporter, it is at zero now but its pretty instant. Enjoy, updates sometime this week/this weekend. hound[1]-100412222223000.bmp First drop:about 55 feet hound[1]-100412222227001.bmp Hill providing ejector airtime after the first drop. hound[1]-100412222303002.bmp Crazy turn around featuring worlds first 90 degree turn on a GCI hound[1]-100412222307003.bmp 90 DEGREES hound[1]-100412222335005.bmp Idea of the out and back/ttwister layout.

Awesome. Very nice detail in your screens, keep it up!

^ I agree with the pacing, it does not look very fun, but on the prs slide the concept is much more fun looking than I originally thought. If they got up the pacing I think this slide would be totally awesome!

Does the wing dip element(I dont really know what its called) get anyone wet? It looked okay from the front, but from the angle it looks like it got the back peoples feet pretty good.

He is right, no coaster goes traight vertically cause you would die. I honestly preferred the lift shot to what you've got now, it wasnt much, but it seemed rather realistic compared to this.

Tripple A aka the American Automobile Association/

I was just on youtube watching random videos and saw a DCA tower of terror pov. At the end there was a German guy who looked like Soren so I looked at who it was made by, and it was Eric Johnson. My nerd sences are tingling!

No Winjas? Anyway, that was an awesome trip report. I never realized how much stuff there was to do and see at this park, and based on your trip report I am assuming this park is huge, yet Ive reallt only payed attention to the coasters and Talocan. I REALLY want to get to this park someday as it is one of the few that is on par with the Disney and Universal parks, and very few parks are able to do that.

Thats the one reason I dont like perilious plunge at Knotts, they cycle those things crazy slowly. Also, every time e go to parks I am the only one to go on the super wet rides and rides like these piss off my friends cause they take so long.

^^ Is it like an express pass where you can get one ride on everything without waiting or is it unlimited for fourty. The one ride thing was worth it because we only did one day at Universal and IOA but I dont think we would have bought one otherwise, but if its unlimited rides for fourty thats awesome.

Why would you say that? Of course she does. That's what the media server is for! She has all the best shows thanks to the modern mavels of digital downloads, iTunes, and Tivo! I hope I get this right. FAIL, quoting on thos site is hard. Anyway, I dont even know what a media server is but if they have legends of the hidden temple on tivo or itunes I would go insane. BTW, that show would make an awesome Wii game IMO.

^^ Besides this year Gravity Group has made at least one major wooden coaster each year. Hades in 05, Voyage in 06, Bullet in 07, RF2 in 08, and Fireball in 2009. Also they are developing new wooden coaster trains, and it has been announced they are working on a family coaster next year. Most parks arent getting major attractions this year though.

MOTHMAN CHAT! April 24 2010, 9 oclock(Eastern Time) which is Six oclock pacific time, right? Anyway, Twelve days away til Mothman, on the Saturday after next!

DCA Mochas at Schmoozies are the single best coffee drink ever. Oh my god there is so much chocolate, and it is frozen expresso, so its good for a few hours. I miss my moms starbucks winter blend, I liked it quite a bit. I also love my college's coffee shop and am quite a fan of either java chip on a hot day or a Caramel Mocha on a colderf day.

All right, that would be why I dont remember Abbey Cadabby, I havent watched Seasme Street since maybe 1995 or 96, and even then I wasnt very interested. Of course, Kristen doesnt have the awesome Nickelodean shows of the 90s such as Rugrats, Catdog, Rockos Modern Life, Doug, and my personal favorite Legends of the Hidden Temple. In fact, she doesnt even have Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers or the Gummi Bears on Disney channel.(something like that, they bounced, I remember that) The What has this new generation come to Ghost LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE FTW!

Does anyone else remember an old Rocky and Bullwinkles in California? I swear I have been to one before, and it had a kiddie coaster, a swinging ship and a ferris wheel. This threads title lead to the days biggest dissapointment, excitedly remembering the old so cal R&Bs and logging onto coaster fanatics and finding the coasters not on their list so I cant add it to my credit list. That was a good TR though, nice work. Also, nice work to Shane if he owns this place, it looks like a blast for a small family center, Ive still never ridden a Screamin Swing. I am REALLY hoping a lot of FEC's get the mini Frisbees and mini Top Spins that were at IAPPA, those looked crazy, and Robb got flipped upside down about 90 times. Those seem like good investments though and they are very small. Also, that coaster concept thats not really a coaster at MOA would be a good edition to a lot of FECs IMO. Anyway, good detailed TR.

This is the worst idea for a school ever. Disallowing any contact with the opposite sex pretty much makes you single for a long time cause you cant talk to girls. My favorite rule is the campused rule, where you are allowed no contact with any other students for 2 weeks after you are "campased." **** that!

This is a special edition trip report simply cause I've never seen you wear glasses. Also, who the hell is Abby Cadabby? I used to watch Sesame Street and Remember Burt, Erny, Grover, Big Bird, Oscar, The Count, Buster(the horse) Big Bird, Elmo, and a few of the people, but never Abby Cadabby.

I just started watching. Should I go in chat now or wait til after the movie?
