  1. It cannot be verified as an IKEA coaster until they have almost finished building it and noticed the last screw is missing, therefore using a random old screw lying around that is slightly too long or short
  2. Great colour scheme, feeling the Schwarzkopf loving!!!
  3. OMG, the radius of the track for the fish-hook is wayyyy too tight! Loving how they are using Rusty Metal for some of the supports, will definately be interesting to see run, still not sure about it though.
  4. Looks like it is Haulin' Ass round there! Although still waiting video of a launch! Can't wait to ride this next April
  5. I was just wondering, why Reversing on the system is allowed anyway, I could understand reversing from the parking area, but surely the track has been designed to allow forwards only driving all day right up until you drive forwards into the parking garage? I am not completely aware of the layout of the whole transit system, so if someone had a diagram or overhead shot which shows where various stations/parking garage is located, this would be appreciated for my understanding. Thanks
  6. My favourite from Stealth has to be.... Are you ready for you ride on Stealth, 0-80mph in 1.9 seconds??? Put your hands in the air if your having a good day? LAUNCH Never seen so many people scream in all my life
  7. There ARE people who know what happened because there ARE people who witnessed the event and heard what was going on on the radio. These people have been asked to stay silent about the event until the investigation is complete and information is released to the public about the incident. Ok, I'll rephrase my last comment......No-One on these Forums know what happened.
  8. Another thing you haven't mentioned Robb.....if you upload your photos to TPR using the correct procedure (size of image etc...) The pages load super quick! When people load photos from a Photobucket account or some other photo hosting site, they usually load large photos and the page takes forever to load! TPR's server must be a good one with a fast net connection, cause I wouldn't dream of using anything else for uploading!
  9. As I see it now, no-one knows what happened, so everything that is being posted is pure speculation. My thoughts go out to his colleagues, friends and family.
  10. It looks like the ratchet wheel off a ratchet strap?
  11. Standard stuff, am always telling my wife I want to leave half an hour before I actually want to leave, that way, she has to be nice to me for the whole day cause she made us late and I am happy knowing I'm not late mwahahaha seriously, I don't do this every day! The MLIA is funnier if when reading it in your head, you read My Life is AWESOME at the end instead of Average, you can imagine them being really boring and telling you this awesome story, makes the whole thing funnier somehow!
  12. It looks kinda like the temperature selector on the front of an Oven?
  13. Your use of custom scenery has gotta be the best I have ever seen, and your station for the woodie is absolutly awesome, wish I could be that creative in RCT3!, can't wait until Scwarzkopf re-invents the vertical loop, I hear they are pretty fun to ride......hint hint
  14. Everytime I ride Stealth with my friend operating, he uses the microphone for the pre launch talk rather than the pre-recorded spiel, really good fun, especially when riding with first time riders and he purposefully launches the train before finishing the speech, good times Apart from that, just any operator that takes their role at a Theme Park seriously and creates a good fun atmosphere, after all, isn't that what going to a Theme Park is all about?!
  15. My Wifes parents always told her when the Ice Cream van was playing music it was cause it has run out of Ice-Cream.........classic
  16. Hurakan Condor without a doubt the Scaryest Ride I have ever had the pleasure to ride, once ridden the first time (took me 2 days to pluck up the courage) I went on it 3 times in a row (The wife got unhappy at this stage, the queue was 1 hour!!! )
  17. Thanks to Towersalmanac.com for the information below http://www.towersalmanac.com Certainly sounds good at the moment, there is a lot of crazy ideas listed in the plan, will be interesting to watch what happens on this. You can see copies of the plans at http://www.towersalmanac.com/features/index.php?id=69 The next 10 years will certainly be interesting!
  18. Used to work for a company delivering Fruit Machines and similar Pub/Bar/Arcade Machines.........whilst unloading an older style Jukebox from the back of the van the 4 foot by 2 foot half inch think pane of glass that covers up the inner workings of the machine decided to tip forwards and smash over my head, I was seeing stars for a few hours.....not fun!!!!
  19. Has no-one thought that those turns are there to simulate an F1 driver warming up his tyres before doing a full speed lap?!
  20. Definately Nemesis, during heavy rain, the rear car is roped off due to too high G's. I did have the pleasure of riding in the back during a rain storm once and it flew round, I almost greyed out on the first Helix! Great times!
  21. The reason it is not a lightning fast as you would expect around the turnaround is that it is braked immediatly after the launch.
  22. Sorry Scott - I don't live in Barry.....I live about 300 miles East of Barry, in Suffolk!!!! It took me a hell of a lot of Research to find where that ride was located! lol Ok, here goes my 2nd Guess the Park Look Familier to any of you?
  23. It was originally designed with Oblivion and the idea was just to purely scare people whilst looking down the drop with the words Don't Look Down being spoken to you, did the trick too until Noise Complaints stopped Alton playing the words.....damn neighbours!!
  24. Recognisable if you live in Barry Island I believe it is Barry Island Pleasure Park!
