  1. Silverwood's Website Announcement

     

     

    Here it is: the metal monster that will dominate the skies over Silverwood. This 191 foot tall beast is really two thrills in one, because not only does it take you forwards through a cobra roll and inverted loop at over 65 mph, but backwards as well!

     

    Once you board, the cars will slowly move backwards up the starting tower until you’re staring straight at the ground at nearly 190 feet in the air. Then gravity will take over and pull you 177 feet straight down as you reach speeds of 65 miles per hour! You’ll twist and turn though mind-blowing loops and rolls until you reach the second tower. This time, you’ll be looking at the sky as the coaster pulls you upward at a 90 degree angle, only to release and send you barreling through the whole thing backwards!

  2. hm, well it sounds like they won't be very willing do something wrong, so it worked!

     

    But it only worked becuase it made them scared, which is not something that should happen. The children should know not to do something wrong, but they shouldn't be scared about it.

  3. Are you a little angry at your parents for something?

     

    Of course not, I love my mom. The only thing I'm angry at is the archaic form of thinking that hitting children solves anything. I've babysit kids whose parents I know to use corperal punishment and they are scared to death that I'm going to spank them when they have done something bad. All becuase the children are testing their limits.

     

    If your kid doesn't know why he's being hit, then the kid is an idiot.

     

    No, they're not. It's not why he's being hit, it's the concept of being hit. Like I said before, he's told not to hit other children at school or daycare, but if he does something bad at home, he's hit by his parents. That completely messes up everything he's ever been told at school. While I understand some of your thinking, it's just not relevant to this time anymore. There are better (and not to mention easier) ways of disciplining children.

  4. One thing I can say is never, EVER spank or hit kids in any way. You're probably thinking right now that I'm just some snobby little kid who didn't like getting spanked, and I didn't like it all. In fact, the long term effects of corporal punishment outway the short term compliance with you, the parent. Spanking your kids will not only make them confused as to why your hitting them (i.e. they're told not to hit at school, but if they get in trouble then they get hit by you), even worse is that they will despise you, no matter how much they say they love you, every hit will make them despise you more. Hitting your kids also makes them more prone to aggression as adults, as well hitting there own kids, which just continues the pattern of aggression.

  5. No.

     

    That was horrible. It had an nice layout, but to make it even feasible it would to be at least twice as big.... It needs alot of work, and alot of track smoothing...

     

    The turnaround at the end was grossly over banked, no more than 90 degrees would be ok, but 180 degrees?

     

    The lifthill was way too fast, 12 mph? Just change it too 6 mph. and be done with it.

     

    Out of a 10, I'd give it a 4 just because the layout was interesting.

  6. Here's a translation of some french news site's report...

     

    http://www.france24.com/france24Public/fr/nouvelles/france/20070805-accident-mortel-fete-foraine-loges-manege-forain.html

     

    Two persons were killed and two seriously injured others Saturdays to the Party of the Lodgings of Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the carousel accident, the most serious arisen one in a carnival party for technical reasons for a number of years.

     

    This spectacular, intervened accident towards 18H50, probably is had to the "rupture of a mechanical element" attraction "Booster", according to the prefecture of the Yvelines.

     

    The "Booster", of a total weight of 28 tons, is a big articulated arm revolving around an axis with, to every extremity, a gondola taking four passengers. It can attain the speed of 90 km/heure and carry out thirteen turns to the minute.

    "The support of the one of the two gondolas, with four persons, then opened and the gondola came to hit the ground provoking the death of two of its passengers", specified this carnival one.

The solution of the hélitreuillage by a helicopter of the civil Security finally was not kept.

     

    A representative of the Italian group Fabbri, the manufacturer of the vehicle, was awaited Sunday on the places. According to the person in charge of the carnival Xavier Saguet, it is a matter of a machine "dating back to three years" that "underwent the verifications habitual securities", which ones "not nothing had revealed of abnormal one".

     

    This accident is the most serious arisen one in a carnival party for a number of years because of security problems or technical. The investigation was confided in the judicial police.

     

    In April, 23 persons had been injured in a carousel accident of a park of attractions of Tournehem-sur-la-Hem (Not-of-Wedged).

     

    In August 2005 to Holy paul (Oise), four persons seriously had been injured after summer éjectées of a type gondola "big eight" after this one had disconnected itself from others.

     

    The same year to Rambervillers (Vosges), a man of 46 years was dead while leaning itself outside a gondola, his head having bumped the central arm of the carousel.

     

    The Party of the Lodgings, that dates back to 1652, musters on eight hectares in the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye some 150 attractions (traditional carousels, shooting stands and lotteries, artificial attractions). She opened June 29 and will close its harbors August 19.

     

  7. Yeah, this is Nurikabe (originally HellHound).

    I've spent the longest amount of time on this coaster of all the coasters I've made. I haven't made the supports yet mainly because I'm lazy

    ^ That's the Wikipedia entry on the Nurikabe Spirit.

     

    Update: Ok, I'm almost finished making the supports. So stop whining, they'll be done soon.

     

    Update: Yay! I've finished making the supports! Ok, so these are my first real custom supports so be nice.

  8. Ok, 1. I like the layout alot

    2. It does need some fine tuning, some of those transitions were neck-snapping bad.

    3. The track needs lots and lots of trims, or something to slow the train down a bit.

     

    IMO this track would be much better if it wasn't a spinning coaster, but thats my opinion.

     

    Overall, I'd give Hidden Fear a 6/10, good but needs work.
