Intimidator update tomorrow from me.

I completely agree that you need more then a few days to visit DC. All the parks in the area are 1 day parks so you really don't need to worry about that except for maybe KD. I would visit both of the Air and Space museums because they are two totally different experiences. I prefer the one in Virginia because it includes a space shuttle and the Anola Gay (the plane that dropped the Atomic bomb on one of the cities in WWII) I would advise you to walk from one end of the mall to the other because you'll see a ton of things that you wouldn't see by going to specific sites.

I was just wondering if anyone else here does Crew. If so what's you "position" your split, and etc....

BGE Holiday World Disney Sea Have you ever “stole a kid” to get a credit on a kiddie coaster? I always wimp out when I'm in a situation when I can. Do you cut other categories out of your budget to make trips to parks? (Entertainment, fast food, holidays, tobacco or alcohol, etc…)No Before you visit a new park do you research the park finding the best way to navigate the park, get the best deals, or what days to go?Yes Do you feel the roller coaster enthusiast community is a warm and accepting community, or a negative and discouraging community? It depends on which area of the community. Do you like to talk about your hobby with people who are not roller coaster enthusiasts? It depends on the person. I usually shy away from it though.

The soviets From where is the word Soviet derived?

http://www.youtube.com/user/HCLcoasters I have a ton of NL coasters I've made on this account and a few extra vids.

I just made this video because I had nothing better to do. I'm sure your familiar with this type of video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t99rqXaWv_4

Oh, tis so hawt!

Pretty funky and nice looking.

Sure... HCLcoasters@gmail.com

I have the same problem with Arizona Sweet Tea.

Are you looking for testers? I'd love to help you out with some of the minor glitches in your track.

How in the world did the Redskins lose to the Lions. FAIL!

it depends on whether your telling the truth about it being humble. Why do cats make hairballs.

The Odyssey and The Fifth Elephant is what I'm reading right now.

This is my favorite song on Muse's new album.

My most annoying class is Spanish I. I should be in Spanish II. I'm fine with being in Spanish I but the teachers require exact spelling of EVERY single word. We have a quiz everyday. It just sucks.

Ok, I'm going to answer your questions. 1. Use Newton to create full tracks. Exclude the lift lead in to the first drop and final breaks and station though because you can't really make them with newton. 2. It does have to do with the settings. Change some settings. A. change Euler to Quaterion (or something like that) B. Change Basic (bernstein) to Basic (quintic) 3. I really don't bother with friction 4. stick with basic for now.

I have a friend who had a red tail shark. It ate numerous gold fish and it's name was "Friend" Just a thought.

We shall see how they turn out. I love how they look though. They probably made the switch because it's cheeper for the park. If you look at the price of MF vs. I305, MF is around 10 million dollars more expensive for a ride with around the same ammount of track. Sure it was a prototype but still.

^ Draggin' Iron does feel like it goes 20 mph the whole time. It's a really boring ride in my opinion.
