Thanks so much! I finally just got around to logging in, so I'm sorry that I didn't repay you during the day. But I went ahead and left you more than 200 to make up for the fact that you had to wait all day!

I'm just wondering- why didn't Pantera go with Indiegogo instead of Kickstarter? The reason why I ask is because Indiegogo has a policy where unsuccessful campaigns can keep the funds that were raised if they pay a 9% fee (compared to the 4% fee for a successful campaign). For those of you who aren't familiar with Indiegogo, it works just like Kickstarter in that it's a crowd-funding site, but there are two options. One is the Fixed Funding campaigns, which is the same thing as Kickstarter- if the goal is met, Indiegogo charges a fee (4% of the amount raised). If it's not met, the project receives no funds and anything that was pledged is refunded. The other option is called Flexible Funding, where the project receives all the funds that are contributed, regardless of how much was actually raised- the variability comes in terms of the fees. It's 4% if the project meets its goal, 9% otherwise. Here's a link to the Fees and Pricing FAQs on Indiegogo: Fees & Pricing: Indiegogo Support Obviously there has already been so much effort put into the Kickstarter effort, and I do hope they can find a way to meet the $80,000 goal. I myself don't have the funds to donate at this exact moment, but I plan to do so before the the deadline (trying to aim for the $50 and above tiers!). So I understand if Pantera doesn't have the time or resources to launch another campaign, but so long as it's not prohibited, maybe they could try this again on Indiegogo if the Kickstarter goal isn't met? This is just an idea I had. This way there might still be a way to move forward with the project, even if it means that some of the features would have to be scaled back or eliminated due to a lack of funds. But the way I see it, a slimmed-down, partially funded project is still better than it being cancelled entirely. Maybe this idea could be forwarded to Pantera? Of course, in the meantime, the focus should definitely be on spreading the word and supporting the Kickstarter effort. I'm just thinking of a possible Plan B that they could use. I want to see this game made available as do many other TPR members and theme park fans out there, but as Robb mentioned, it looks like they may not make their goal despite our efforts, which is a shame seeing as there has been over $45,000 pledged!

Just left 300 eggs for Robb and 300 for KT! I have more eggs (about 200 or so) if anyone wants to trade! If you leave them for me tonight, I can repay you tomorrow. Let me know what your username is if it's something other than your TPR username. I'm 1337me_69. Thank you!

Wow...but kudos to Six Flags security for doing their jobs! -
I haven't put any money into it either. I want to support the game by putting some money into it, but it's just not a priority right now. Not to mention that this happened recently: The Sims Social is shutting down on June 14th. Sure, it's a facebook game they're shutting down as opposed to a mobile game, but the fact that it was EA who did this makes me hesitant to spend money!

Getting caught up after missing the last few days...loved the POVs of the defunct coasters! That's something that I love about TPR's videos- it's nice that they have this footage available for us to watch long after some of these rides are gone (on a side note, one of my favorite ones is the Jaws video from last year!). As for that last video, all I can say is "OUCH!" -

Felt like this belonged here. And for those of you who follow the SFMM thread: YOLO? Man loses life savings on carnival game -
I'll leave you 250! I'm going to place them right now! EDIT: I placed them in the back of your Springfield and along the streets. The connection was lost while I was placing them, so hopefully you got the full 250! I left some extras just in case.

Now I get why so many people on here are begging for U.S. parks to put in mega-lites! Consider me one of them! -

This ride is definitely unique! Am I the only one thinking that it might have been a good replacement for Perilous Plunge in the Boardwalk area at Knott's? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE what they're putting there with Coast Rider, Surfside Gliders, and Pacific Scrambler, but one of these would have looked pretty awesome in that area. Of course, the capacity issues would likely have to be solved first...and sadly, even the not-so-great capacity (or so I'm told) of this model would still be an improvement over Perilous! But it does look like a pretty nice family coaster that would add a lot of kinetic energy/motion to any park! -
Elissa, I went ahead and left you 100 eggs! I'm out for now, but I'll give you another 100 once I have them.

Robb, I'm going to leave you 200 eggs! I'm 1337me_69.

It was provided by Warner Bros. When it was Terminator Salvation: The Ride, there was a sign next to the truck stating that it was actually used in the film. Same story with the Jeeps located in the queue (the one outside the entrance and the one right before you get to the truck). But yes, I too have noticed the hidden Mickey! Just pure coincidence though.

As some have mentioned, I too don't always have the weekends off, so sometimes a weekday would actually be better! Of course, what really helps is doing what you're already doing in letting us know of the dates far in advance so that I can plan ahead (such as already having announced the dates for this year's WCB). So yes, if weekdays work better for these events, I'm still in!

Nice! One thing I like about Jaguar at Knott's is the long train- it makes for a unique experience in my opinion. But the layout of this one looks much better! The only thing that I think might make it even better is if it had the same helix at the end that Jaguar has. Also, it's crazy to know that the train is longer! According to RCDB, Viktor Vandorm has a 20 car train, whereas Jaguar has 15 car trains. -
I can trade with you! I'll start placing them now! I'm 1337me_69.

I have yet to ride any Eurofighters, but they all look amazing! The paint job on this one sure is interesting- I like the fact that the track changes colors! Though I think my favorite Eurofighter (in terms of paint jobs) is Spongebob at Nickelodeon Universe. They are certainly photogenic if you ask me! -

Now that I think about it, I have an idea on how they could "plus" the ride! First- add a mist or small water spray near the dog...this could be you getting hit by the dog's "wet farts"! Second- make this the official theme song of the ride: Okay, so it's kind of a gross idea, but it would work! -

Forgot to comment on Raptor yesterday- but it looks great! It's well themed! As for the Dog Fart coaster- I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this exists...
