I'd just like to add my opinion to all of this Harry Potter stuff. I feel that the area is very complete with iconic scenes from the series, and Forbidden Journey was a really good ride. It highlighted many random scenes from the movies that probably seem most memorable, but there was no really consistent flow between any of the scenes. Example.. You go from fighting tarantulas, to doing a flip, to playing the broomstick game. But overall, I actually found the ride intense, and good star attraction for the land. On the other hand, I rode the ride with my mom. She's seen the first two movies, and probably another, but she's far from knowing much about Harry Potter other than Harry had a scar on his head, and an evil guy was after him. When she rode the ride, she thought it was better than Superman for all the cool effects and all, but she didn't get the ride flow at all. You could call my mom the GP, and say she was easily amazed by what Universal did with the place. Although I really think Universal should not add the new Harry Potter land, as I think Wizarding World is enough. I think another area would be too much.

Yes, but see, both the Texas Giant, and Mean Streak have more then just one single dimension of turns, which to be honest, makes for a boring, uninspired layout. I'm just wondering what does "one single dimension of turns" means... Just so I don't build a layout that does that either. Never heard that phrase before. Thanks!

This is where SFGAM cashes in for Raging Bull's line. In the queue houses, they have employees with food, lemonade, and slushies walking around, taunting you. So when you're in line for two hours, you are bound to give in at buying a 4 dollar lemonade.

Wait, so I get to go? Because I too get to go to Physics Day next semester!

You are doing a great job keeping this park looking too messy from the scenery, which is good! I love how you put your Shuttle Loop coaster behind your Himalaya and away from the midway, as I feel most shuttle loops are like that. Also, you did a nice creating and atmosphere and a beautiful setting on the lake! Good stuff, so far.

Love the park so far! (I also love your old Corkscrew Adventures park, great stuff!) I love the layout on the LIM coaster,and how it twists down the mountain. Your ride placement so far is great - nicely spaced out. Eruption looks like such a fun little launch coaster! It might just be me, but I love how your paths stay mostly the same width throughout. I've seen some parks on here where the path goes from 2 paths wide, to 8, and it looks weird. My only critique is that your log flume seems to have two-too many lifts, as most log flumes usually have 1 or 2 lifts. But this is your park. Nice job, so far! ARGH: Jer- you're getting an F for the day for grammar, punctuation and sentence construction. R.D.- GFMT

Here is my tumblr. http://jerrykoala.tumblr.com/ I'm still getting started on mine, learning the ways of tumblr. I just post whatever I find interesting or funny

I gotta admit, I love the last screenshot. It really shows off the park in it's full crazy way (in a good way). You get all the effect of the park, just really nice.

So I was adding on to my park that I'm building for fun, don't know the name yet, or whether or not I'll post it on here to download. But I took a 3 step by step preview as I built this ice mountain themed area to my park. Thought it was nice for Christmas! Keep in mind, that I actually play with money, and this hunk of land and ride cost me over 150,000 to build. Which took me a lot of patience to raise that money... (Took 4 in-game years to build!) PS. I am not the master at terrain work, but I think what I came up with is probably one of the best I've done. I pretty much just created the mountain and the path layout. I sort of knew what I was going to do in my mind, but was still doing the "going with the flow" as I don't really build mountains or anything like that. I added a mine train (yet to be named) that is inspired by Expedition Everest. It has a huge finale drop, but sadly, it is on the right of the picture, which got cut off a bit. And this is what my final product looked like. As you can see, it took 4 hours to build the whole thing. No Custom Scenery. My park was also doing pretty bad financially and this really increased my attendance. You can see in the pictures that is dropped to below 3,000, but right now, it's back to 3,300. Park rating even jumped higher too! Everybody loves Christmas. I'll keep posting little updates here and there, and if I think my park is good enough for the forums, as I'm not a big RCT2 poster, then I'll post it in it's own thread.

Looks great, but I think the Mid-way looks a little... bland. Even though you tried mixing it up with different path types, I think adding some center pieces to it will make it a little more appealing, as they are very wide.

Great start so far on the entrance plaza! Also, I love the layout for Infinity, love Schwarzkopf layouts like that!

21/26 I felt like I knew a lot of them, only a few were a couple (correct) guesses!

That's okay, because they now have two drop towers as well! But I love Liseberg, and don't mind this at all.

Great addition! Especially for Wisconsin Dells. Mount Olympus does need something more modern into the water park, whether it was a water coaster, or this, but it definitely fit the bill! Hope to return next year.

Judging from the photo, it looks like the invert goes way too fast in the in-line twist if it still has the speed to go through a cobra roll. But otherwise, it looks really good! I've never had a park for 100 years!

I actually saw this park before, but didn't leave a comment for some reason. First, I want to give you major props for using the Six Flags map, as that is the map I usually play with when I decide to build a park, it's a great map. So far, your park looks great! I love the area of the park the mine train is in, and you did a great job with the foliage. The bumper cars look great, never saw someone place a ride like that before! I also am intrigued by the way you did the path in different colors, yet, still turn out pretty neat. Great job!

Nice park for your first, but I still think you should experiment with your own coasters, rather than building the in-game coasters! Can't wait to see an update.

Love the station for the junior coaster! Beautiful park. Although my only criticism is that you built the helicopter ride and the junior coaster pretty close together.

I've never ridden a Hurler, yet, but I think they look so nice in RCT2. Wouldn't be mad if one ended up in Six Flags Washington

Whoops! Didn't see it posted before. Just a little slow

GCI recently (November 15th) posted an animation of one of their coasters. Maybe this one could be the one ready for Fun Spot? If a mod can embedded the link, that would be great! It's not working for me.

R.I.P. I thoroughly enjoyed this ride. Hopefully, they can replace it with something as high quality as this ride. (I.E. Brain Surge was a great addition)

Wow! That's such a cool thing to do, to make your rides more realistic. (To put them in an actual setting) Nice job!

Nice Elitch Gardens trip report. I visited the park back when they still had the Flying Coaster, and I actually enjoyed it. I rode it again over the summer at Coney Island and it's just as good! Not as bad as everyone says.
