That's awesome! It's kinda like a B&M version of Goliath at Wilibi World. I love how you took a B&M and gave it an overal B&M feel, but with tons of Intmin element inspirations. I really like the one hill after the first turn where the drop is much steeper than the entry giving a burst of srong air, and the turnaround is a great example of the Intamin elements on a B&M I was talking about. You really know how to take an idea and make it work.

Yeah, Definitely. Just look at the area between Disaster Transport and Demon Drop. People have been claiming to see "red spray-paint markers" around that area for years but whenever I’ve checked their non existent. But regardless of that, that area is perfect for a coaster. One other area allot of people miss is the area between Millennium Force and Raptor, where Wildcat is. All you have to do is smash Wildcat to bits like it’s meant to have been for the past 10 years and put the station in it’s place. Then you can have a flyer/floorless that can weave around the ice-skating theater, the employee dorms, the mini cars and even the docks outside the park.

B&M makes their track a whole lot better than Premier Rides did on the Chiller, you know.

Ok, so I have a bunch of completely random, based on no proven fact ideas, so make of it what you will. My first Idea is that I could see BGE getting a legendary B&M flyer that wraps around trees like BBW and has a bunch of encounters with the Rhine river, if Manta is successful in the eyes of Anhiser Busch, and while BGA probably needs a new coaster more, I don't see any B&M other than a hyper going in there, and we pretty much know his track is too twisted to be a hyper. While BGA definitely could use a flyer in the future, right now Manta would only be a year old and about 3 hours away so it wouldn’t be that great of an investment. As for my other speculations, I know it's not for a Six Flags park because Shapiro doesn’t like his "Big" coasters anymore, and the economy is probably too screwed up for an independent park or small chain to afford a B&M, so my guess if it's going to an American park it would be a Cedar Fair…Possibly a floorless after the success of Hydra at parks that need a new star coaster, like Vallyfair or Knott’s. Although there’s been a “B&M coming to Carrowinds” rumor for a while, this is probably not it because the only B&M that would make sense at Carrowinds is a Hyper. OR....maybe in some fanboy's dream a B&M flyer at Cedar Point!!!! But seriously, then again this doesn’t have to be an American ride, I remember a few years ago when this same plant pulled out Dive machine track that ended up going to Chimelong Paradise. This could easily be any type of twisted B&M going overseas.

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Jds03 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, yeah there big, but look at how tight the apex is. Plus not to mention the downward terrain adds a new factor in the airtime levels. Personally I think there’s going to be consistent and log lasting floater air after the first air hill, but nobody will truly know until they've ridden it! -
Well...I want a DeLorean. Actually I just want a car in general, but if someone offered to give me any car in the world I would choose a DeLorean because there awesome. Well… thinking about it more, maybe I’d ask for one of the super expensive Italian cars, then sell it and by 20 DeLorians!!!! And I have an Xbox...but I don't get a chance to use it very often because I’m drawing. haha Thanks, that’s the next step I’m going to take if I get syndicated. Basically it's the syndicate’s job to sell the strips to media outlets, mostly newspapers, but it includes book printers too. So after doing strips for about a year, the syndicate would look at the collection I made and look at how popular the strip is, and if they think it will sell as a book collection they'll try to get a publisher to print it for me.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! Basically, this is where I am now: I just finished my history class completely, literally minuets ago, and I’m going to be done chemistry tomorrow. Then on Friday I just need to turn in something for my art class and I’m free at last. Well, until the spring semester work starts piling up… For about a week between when I finished my portfolio and finals I drew a bunch of strips, but I haven’t computerized them yet. But after Friday I'm determined to have my syndicate packages sent in by mid February. I’ve already gotten folders ready to send to 4 major syndicates and hopefully one if not more will accept, then I get to debate prices and hopefully get enough to buy a Delorian because after robb's topic I realized their AWESOME!!! So stay tuned their going to be a ton more coming.

I'm surprised it said nothing about the book Angels & Demons By Dan Brown. --Chris That's because they monitor your credit and send you email alerts, so you don't end up selling fish to tourists in t-shirts.

When did Youtube start removing videos that feature music?
Jds03 replied to AlexG8462's topic in Random, Random, Random
That's why I go with European trance songs for my videos because so many of them sound alike, it's hard to trace them because many electronic music artists work under multiple aliases. Also, the German groups who produce these tracks aren't as sue-happy-greedy as American music producers. Wow, I usually do the exact same thing! European techno can be perfect for park videos, I just wanted a shorter song for the Knobbles one, so I used Jimmy Eat World. I've made quite a few videos with music by Andy Hunter who is a great high paced electronic producer, but lately I’ve been doing videos with music by Hybrid, because their music is absolutely epic and mind-blowing. There’s been times where I’ve listened to it in the dark or something and I felt like I was high. If you like European trance, you have definetly got to seach Andy Hunter or Hybrid. -

People who lean on air gates or sit on the rails, then having to hear the opps. tell people not to every 2 minuets. It happens at Kingda Ka constantly.

TPR and Theme Park Artwork

AHG!! Everyone tells me that! They always look at it and say "E. T. phone home" -
At King's Dominion, when Hypersonic was still there, the station was an utter disaster since there were 4 rows and they didn't control the flow of riders in the station, which caused there to always be around 60 people in an area with around 30 square feet of room. But anyway what happened to me while I was there was probably the single most irritating thing that has ever happened to me at a park. So, I’m getting close to at least entering the gates when the opps. call for a single rider, and since I was alone I called out and most of the people in the row moved out of the way. When I was just about to get to the gates, this retard who is about 400 pounds thinks I’m cutting in front of him and grabs me by the wrist, pulls me back to him then pushes me back into the crowd. So then, not only was I more pissed off than I probably have ever been in my entire life, but I’m at the back of the crowded station and I can't even get forward to tell the ride opps to call security before he boards, rides and leaves the ride.

TPR and Theme Park Artwork
Jds03 replied to sfmmFREAK's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I’ve been meaning to put up allot of my artwork on here for a while, but I just finished a bunch of coaster related stuff so I thought I'd share. I think allot of you are familiar with my comic strip but if not you can check it out on this topic: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47227&start=0 Take careful notice of my signature i put on the corners of my frames. no, not the legible one, the other one. Yeah, that's right.... Pure Awesomeness. Festival of the arts poster I made with Photoshop. That’s my hand if you’re wondering.... Thanks for reading! or looking or whatever... Unfinished Execelorator drawing. Not sure if i'm going to finish it any time soon. Way to much other stuff to work on. This is just a leisure drawing Non Coaster related art thingy. Made with pastels. Swamps can be cool looking at times. Yes, I even remember the name of the company that makes Intamin's seatbelt buckles. CONTROLL PANNEL GEEKS REJOICE! I like the portrait better without the top half of my head. Sunset scene biased on a shot I got over the summer. Oh yeah, and the text says "I Am Maverick" which is sorta corny but this had to represent myself or something If you look close enough, you can see Bart written on the side of the train, which was some mystery about the ride Tony & Tyler never got around to explaining on “On Point!” Random abstract maverick illustration I made with pens and prismacolor markers. My self portrait didn't turn out so well, but i needed to include it for my class. Last panel. Note how the one big train shot spans the three frames Middle Panel This is the background incase you couldn’t see it to well. I took all the pictures and mixed it with Photoshop. Yay! thats my name, but not my signature! 93 MPH!!!! or wait... maybe it's 92!!!! Mixed media thing, with paint film pen and ink and computers. It has three pannels -
Favorite first drop on a Steel Coaster

El Toro MF X Griffon/Sheikra Maverick They all have something unique about their drop that makes it amazing -

I’m anxiously awaiting the holographic Jaws sequel! Although the shark still looks fake... -
Clicky!

Yeah, it's a pretty amazing story. I’ve been seeing stuff about it all day. It's sort of neat though, just because nobody was hurt in the accident (except U.S. Airways budget). I give those pilots a lot of credit.

Robb & Ryan Go To The Delorean Factory
Jds03 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow, that’s so awesome. DeLorians are the most awesome cars ever made. I could care less about Ferraris, pouches and all those fancy Italian speed cars, if I ever get a million dollars from the lottery or something I’d immediately find a DeLorian somewhere to buy! Back to the Future is one of the greatest movie series of all time... except for the cowboy one... that was only "OK" My problem is whenever I see it on TV I get addicted and force myself to watch the others on DVD and before I know it, my whole day is gone, but that's ok because it was AWESOME!!! I can’t wait till November 15th 2015. I’m going to repetitively watch BTTF II for a full 24 hours in honor of the movie. -
