^ Ok, dude... I have sent you 2 PM's now and posted about this in one other thread about your overuse of exclamations, etc, and your spamming the boards with posts like these. One more time and you may be the first suspended user from our boards. Please don't make me have to do that. --Robb "I'm a patient person, but don't push me over the edge." Alvey

^ It was meant to be a 'footage' video, not one of our fun ones!

Whoops, I didn't realize Gregg already posted this: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=218 Sorry!

^ Dude, a few things: 1. While I really, REALLY appreciate you posting the boards, you need to calm down a bit with the constant posting, overuse of smileys, exclamations, and adding multiple letters onto words. Just make sure there is 'substance' to something you post, because otherwise it comes off looking like you're spamming the boards with posts just to increase your post count. And that could get you suspended. 2. There is no "Elite" or l337 or whatever it is speak. 3. There is already a "Worst Coaster" thread: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=249 --Robb "Thread Closed" Alvey

^^ I can tell you that the last rides I had on Darien's Viper were better than the last rides I had on X! --Robb "Who would rather have Viper in place of X!" Alvey

^ Yes, that's fine. I set the limit at 15 so that one post wouldn't take forever to load. --Robb

I do encourage everyone to upload photos to the site. Even if they are photos from a trip you took last year. I think everyone really seems to like checking out pics! Please try to keep your photos under 150k, and most image processing programs should help you downsize your photos. There are plenty of free ones on the net (like the one I posted above) that can help you out! If you have any questions, please ask! --Robb "Now let's see some cool photo trip reports!" Alvey

LOL!!! Those pics are AWESOME!!!! On a side note, they're a little big, but that's ok for this time, next time try to keep them under 150k. But if you have any more of those pics, please post them!!!! --Robb

^ Well, they already owned those parks, they are just re-branding them as Six Flags parks. --Robb

^ LOL! I'm really looking forward to going back to this park. Has it changed much since it returned to the Walibi name? --Robb

http://www.dailyrepublic.com/articles/2005/02/18/entertainment_top_stories/ent04.txt Ok, so maybe it's not QUITE what you thought it was going to be, but still....

The only reason I would think they wouldn't be the PP restraints is because of this line: "He said: “Following recommendations by the Health and Safety Executive as a result of their investigation, we are replacing the interior of the Hydro boat and installing over the shoulder restraints with an interlock mechanism." They wouldn't need to replace the interior of the boat for those restraints. But who knows until the damn thing opens or we get a photo.

Did this happen in 2004 or 2003 when the ride first opened? I remember the huge 'cable snapping' issue in 2003, because that's when we were there and the ride was down for three days. For some reason, I thought that article might have gotten their dates wrong, unless this happened again in 2004. We ended up having to wait SEVEN hours to ride!!!!!

^ Nope. I haven't seen. Explain please!

The best is getting stuck on Space Mountain, when they have to turn on the work lights! That's always cool.

Hey everybody! This thread is simple! Rather than having a million little threads about everything that goes on at Oakwood Theme Park, this thread is designed to consolidate it all into one user-friendly thread. Feel free to use it to post updates, trip reports, questions, comments, and of course, general discussion. For pictures and videos of the park as well as past updates, see TPR's Park Index Page Official Park Website Below are some links to past updates from the park, you may be interested in.

And one more tidbit of Legoland news:

Yeah....looks impressive: Photo: www.johnnyupsidedown.com

That's a FUCK load of Legos!!!!

^ Ahh, that reminds me of our AWESOME Tower of Terror onride photo: http://www.themeparkreview.com/wedding/tot/tot1.htm It just doesn't get any better than that!

^^ Yeah, but Scott is funnier than Derek!

Ahh, it's totally the black OTSR's versus the red ones that threw me off. I didn't have a problem at all with SR's restraints. We rode several times in both the front and the back and didn't bang/hit/bash our head/neck or anything! --Robb

^ LMAO!

Ok everyone.... Here's the deal. I bought RCT3 right when it came out, but I haven't even had the chance to open it yet! There it is, on my shelf, still sealed in it's package. I didn't get a chance to play it mainly because I was busy with the game we were developing at work, then we went to Florida for two weeks, then we released the new DVDs, then we did these forums, and NOW I finally have some time to play it! My question is - what do you all think? And as a newbie starting out, what features should I try to focus on? I remember hearing some pretty mixed reviews about it when it came out, but I've seen some screenshots of parks that people have made that look REALLY cool. Is it as cool as it looks? As good as the previous two? Please post your thoughts as we'll probably be playing for our first time over the weekend! --Robb

What do you guys think?
