^^The terraforming is about as smooth as it can get, but yeah, I'm gonna add more to it. Thanks for the nice comments people! ^ohhhh the drop tower, I got that off of the Atari forum, don't worry though, it has already been killed, thanks dude! Hopefully I'll meet expectations with this, I really need to work on the station and theming some of the layout...oh and the transfer track, when it's all said and done, it should be pretty decent. Thanks!

Favorite Crowd-Interactive Coasters
atem122 replied to PKI Jizzman's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
California Screamin. It's always fun to watch it launch, and you can pretty much completely follow the train throughout its course from so many areas. Silver Bullet. The cobra roll over the midway is just awesome, I don't care what all ya'll have to say about that. Terminator Salvation: The Ride, entirely because of the station fly by, the helix around the queue, and airtime hill under the bridge though. -
Uhhhh what Intamin CTR? I'm not using one in this, but thanks for the comment, hopefully, it'll only get better! I may shorten the exterior queue a bit, but I think I'm going to keep the decently large que house, and sadly, I think the lights are gonna stay the way they are because it would be a bitch to replace them as red (but don't worry, red is one of the colors in their strobe cycle). Thanks man!

Update: 12/19/09 Subject: Stuff Happened Where: On my ride What: Be patient and you'll see Am I wasting your time?: Yes Okay, so as stated, I have an update, basically what I did was put footers on all of my ride's beautiful supports, and create a funky queue house. It's really not all that much, or all that cool looking since I suck arse at everything, but alas, I put mild effort into it! Enjoy your update...oh, and the ride finally has a name and theme! As you can see, the ride is footer'd and sand'd. Here's the new queue house, it's meant to (yet fails at) look like a run down old lookout shack for the people trying to hold off the Terminator Salvat....er I mean Cessation. Entrance. If this was themed anything like Terminator Salvation: The Ride, which it so totally is NOT, "The Day the World Went Away" by Nine Inch Nails would be here. Thar be two stories to this run of the muck shack This is what it looks like on the inside...it's not very fascinating...yet Exiting the queue house, and OMG FIRE!!!! Scenic overview...yeah...you can add your own comment for this picture if you'd like. Exterior during the day=3 flags. Exterior during the night=3...1/2 flags!!! Now does the queue house look cool?!!! How about now?...ew...Laker colors. Excuse me, I have to puke. Aaaaand the update ends here with a night time overview. So hopefully you like what I've done...if not, then you suck! (but not really)

Most Overrated coaster?
atem122 replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Have you ridden any of the California B&M's?... Overrated: Every California B&M, none thrill me that much whatsoever. Except for maybe Medusa...but Silver Bullet, Tatsu, Riddler's, Scream, Batman, (and I'm assuming Flight Deck and Vortex) are not all that great...but that's in my opinion. -

That was a great little opening segment Robb! How do you even find songs like this though? -
Mitch Hawker's Coaster Poll 2009!

What makes Spinning Batman such a bad ride?! That thing looks cool! Lol -
"What's that you say Duncan? You want to dive again?!" (bonus points if you get the reference)...oh wait. What's that you say? You want another update? Well here ya FREAKIN go. As clearly demonstrated, supporting, flanging, and knuckling (and not the fun kind of knuckling [hopefully you know what I mean] ) is done! I enclosed the pre-lift, and now it leads to the partially enclosed lift hill...yep, this is a good use of my time. What a peaceful looking airplane crash site... ...yep, so peaceful, even the ride circles around it...(BTW, I TOTALLY did not mistime this shot)... ...OH MY GOD! IT EXPLODES!!!!! (now who saw that one coming?!) Millennium Force's queue, eat your heart out. "Well it's a good thing we wont be having to walk through that ridiculously long set of switchbacks...but the other ridiculously long set on the other hand..." This is what the station looks like at the moment. It's a box. Don't worry, it's gonna change. This is what it would look like if you were an imaginary ride operator. And that concludes this absolutely fantastic update, please comment, I worked so long and hard...er I mean I worked on it!

Yeah...of course not...

I had the combo pass but never managed to get to HH this year, oh well, I didn't really feel like I was missing that much since I've been there before. The only thing I really remember about the place is that the family raft ride had like a super long line, I liked the park though, yet I have no desire to really go back there.

^That's already been pointed out to him. ^^I'd agree with you on your thoughts about Nitro being the best ever...but you really can't trust anyone who claims to be the number one fanboy of any place... As for an overrated ride... SCBB Giant Dipper, IDK why everyone thinks it's better than the other one (though I am the harsh minority and you all probably see differently) I prefer the Belmont Park one more, the SCBB one did nothing for me when I rode it. -
Magic Mountain also lacks in attendance because it's seen as the most gang oriented park in the area (thank you parking lot stabbing). Back in the summer of '07, my mom was afraid to send me there without an adult because she thought it was a gang banger hangout. While that's really not true, it just shows what some of the GP thinks of this place. And Wes, your avatar is beautiful.

No me gusta nada! ----------------------- I don't like this at all! Well actually it doesn't really matter, it's very odd to find that at a Chinese restaurant though. ...but just for the hell of it: "THEY TOOK OUR FORTUNE COOKIES" -"DAY TUK OUR FORTUNE COOKIES" --"DURKAB DURRRRR"

Even with laws against it, I can't determine how many times I've walked into my school's BRs and smelled that distinct weed smell...plus there are like 3 dispensaries right down the freaking street from my school! I honestly don't care either way, I'm planning on living a drug free lifestyle.

Thinking about it, you could'nt quite copy and paste Bizarro's effects onto Scream due to queue placement. Keep in mind that the entrance to Bizarro is under the cobra roll, and the entrance to scream is between the loop and the dive loop. If you were to put the flames in the same spot, you'd burn trees and probably people too, so they'd need to switch it up and maybe put the flames after the cobra roll as a means of keeping it safe.

I posted this on NL exchange a while ago, but only got one review. I wanna see what you all think of this *cough* amazing woodie. So as the sub-header states, this coaster is based off of the classic airtime machine Coaster at Playland in Vancouver. Of course it's not nearly as good, but it does have some random ejector air, and it's one of my smoother rides (though I really suck at NL) So please, enjoy! old woodie smoothed.nltrack Soarin' Download Screen shot! Although I think the train is red in the file...

^^^Dude, you messed up, that was supposed to go to the Titty Fairy! (yuk yuk yuk) For all of the people who don't live in Cali/Florida/near a year round theme park http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/info/parkInfo.aspx

Goldrusher at SFMM (at night) After my last night ride on it, I'll never think of it the same again, it was such a great experience, much better than my two Tatsu runs that followed it.
