Popped into Chessington a couple of days ago for the first time in years and was absolutely amazed. The park was spotless and I've never realised how good the theming is. It also helped that, despite being summer holidays for schools, every ride except Dragons Fury, was under 10 minute wait with Vampire being walk-on and still on 3 train operations. The weather was very inconsistent with beautiful blue skys and then a downpour. Anyway on to the pics Some of the amazing theming on Dragon Falls, the log flume. You actually go through this! A view just before the big drop on Dragon Falls. And one last look , looking back towards the last lift with the huge Buddha. An overview of the Beanoland area, does look pretty tired in places and I think it's great that it's being re-themed next year. Dragons Fury exiting its immelman turn , This ride is awesome. One of the best family coasters I've been on and in the afternoon I got one crazy ride on it, where for the first time ever a ride has made me feel dizzy! The awesome Rattlesnake. In my opinion this is the best themed ride in the UK, the que is full of animatronic amigos and exploding shacks. The whole ride you are also being thrown through huts giving great head-chopper effects. The ride is also by far the best Wild Mouse I've been on, completely unbraked until the turn before the biggest drop and even then it's only a light touch. The exploding shack in Rattlesnake's queline, note the way they spell "danjer" Vampire! This is now one of my favourite coasters, insane swinging in the front 3 cars and just a great fun ride. Half Arrow, Half Vekoma support, mmmm ,Nope this picture was me trying to show one of the heavy downpours throughout the day. Me trying a sort of background type thing with Dragons Fury, Shame it didn't work Cool fishy in the Sealife Center Ugly fishy in the Sealife Center And a final look at Vampire's drop off the 2nd lift. Overall it was a fantastic day 8x Rattlesnake 8x Vampire 4x Dragons Fury 2x Dragon falls 1x Bubbleworks And lots of other smaller ride credits Hope you enjoyed my photo's

Such a shame, this is the first season in a while when it's been running pretty much day-in day-out. Probably is going to delay SW6 construction a bit aswell -
I thought this was a wicked TR. And I thought it was a great length. Absolutely loved looking through all the awesome pics, and Mr Freeze looks brilliant. I really wish we would get a Premier coaster over here!

I completely agree with Rita, I don't really get it to be honest, It's just a bit of a nothing ride. And the neck bashing is very very painful on this. Aswell as the ever increasing tightness of the restraints. I agree Nemesis is awesome in the back row -

Of course, I was trying to take a screenshot of it in the editor, The layout itself doesn't look great in the actual simulator but still , here it is in the very early design stage It has multiple launches and various twisty bits mixed with lots of airtime. -

Sure, But I can't seem to make the screenshot into an image to add to a post here , I tried pasting it in word and adding it but it's way too big a file. Any help ? -
Future looks bleak for Terra Mítica
Koolkid replied to Airtime&Gravity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oh this is sad, I actually thought it was a great litle, well themed park. Thing is they didn't really have a star ride. I was going to visit it this summer -

Is this the first accelorator/rocket coaster with a MCBR ? -
Brilliant trip report, really enjoyed reading it I've seen in so many trip reports X2 has had a HUGE que even when others haven't been to bad , is it just insanely popular or does it have a terrible throughput?

I wish the UK would get a woodie like this , I can't even remember the last time a woodie was built here This looks insane and that video makes it look unbelievable just how fast it is in some parts. -

Temple Of The Lost [NL]
Koolkid posted a topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Temple Of The Lost is an awesome Intamin accelerator but with a bit extra This is the first coaster I've added objects into and the first time I've ever even used object creator , Overall I'm really pleased with the outcome of the track, it's really forceful , fast paced, lengthy .I'm quite pleased with the objects and scenery but the supports aren't great. Overall I think it's awesome but its your opinion that counts So , enjoy and any feedback is welcome Track+supps complete only obj.nlpack This is the track with objects and stuff Track+supps complete only obj.nltrack This is just the track if I've uploaded right -

Wooden Coaster Challenge
Koolkid replied to Eric_Smith's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
This is mine I honestly believe this meets the target of being a wooden roller coaster riders will fear but enjoy and come off thrilled to the max. I'm not as experienced as many of you and haven't mastered creating glass smooth tracks yet but I really think this meets the criteria set. Enjoy Doom's End final.nltrack
