  1. As for our other Six Flags park in Texas, I would rather see a complete overhaul of Rattler than see a new attraction. Although there aren't many, Fiesta Texas has some nice coasters: Superman, Polty, and Goliath. Rattler is a beautiful ride to look at but boring as heck! A well-thought-out plan for track work to get a little speed back on it would be great.

     

    I to belive that Rattler need to be transform. Like make it like it did in 1992 when it had the longest drop, and change the trains.

    I think it will in 2012 for Fiesta Texas 20th.

     

    Thanks.

     

    I just rode the Rattler last weekend (after the 4th redo I think). It was sooo much better the 1st year or two. Although they did brace up the run from 2nd drop to the helix, so no more wiggles......................I have ideas to eliminate the boring-azz mid-ride helix if anyone wants to listen.............lol

  2. Just thought I'd share a couple of snapshots of my latest project. Blue Streak is 5000+ ft. long with a top speed just over 65 mph. After 3 weeks, I finally have the track layout pretty much how I want it. Now come the arduous task of support construction and scenery. I'll post pics from time to time to keep everyone updated.

    Support work and station are now complete, along with some scenery for the lift hill, 1st turn, and 1st drop.

    Here's the 110'+ drop that reaches just over 65 mph.

    Looking back towards the lift and first drop from the mid-run 45 degree turn.

    Completelt killed the helix at the turnaround........just wasn't giving the flow I wanted. I felt a more standard turnaround worked best, with the block brakes of course.

    Looking back from the turnaround, you can see there is still much support and scenery work to do.

  3. I have just gotten a copy of RCT3, (RCT2 vet of 4 1/2 years)and I am looking for good venues for DLing some CS. Specifically, I am looking for support structure items for use on Woodies (my favorite coasters to build AND ride). I like my rides to be as realistic as possible to enhance the experience. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to showing off some of my work here as soon as I can get it "perfect".

  4. I had the exact same problem occur about 4 days ago. Must be something that's going around. I tried System Restore, and re-installing the game. Didn't work. Just for fun, I went into the Virus Vault of my AVG program, and found all the quarantined "SlntfNT.dll" file references, and deleted them from the Vault. Game now works perfectly, without having to shut down AVG to run the game.

    Hey Andre8, that 6 flags avatar of yours looks alot like the old "Rocket" coaster that was in San Antonio's Playland Park for years before being sold and moved to Knoebel's in PA., and is now the "Phoenix". It was an awesome coaster. I rode it every summer until they closed Playland around 1980.
