Name My Park Please!

This will be the start of a park created at the turn of the century -- the 31st century. The story: In 2009, Six Flags purchased a gigantic plot of land in the Great Plains. However, Six Flags went bankrupt the next day (presumably because of the puerchase.) Its parks were sold off and the huge plot of land, zoned for an amusement park, was left to nature. In 2025, the full-scale mining of asteroids, the discovery of cold fusion, and the invention of a petroleum substitute caused money to become useless. There was finally peace on earth. In 2051, a new form of entertainment called "brain stim" took off and made all other forms of entertainment obsolete. With nobody showing up, over two hundred amusement parks quietly closed their doors forever. The coasters were scrapped, and people forgot about the concept of a physical amusement park. The years flew by, and almost everybody left Earth for other planets. By the 2700's, the only people on Earth were teenagers and children. They wandered the planet, enjoying the unpolluted air and the signs of days when Earth was the only habitable planet. In 2099, one group found, in the middle of what was America, a huge plot of land surrounded by a rusting chain-link fence. Inside, a forest had grown and covered about a quarter of the plot. In the center of the forest, a stainless steel billboard displayed an advertisement. In the center of the billboard was a picture of an old man wearing square glasses. Underneath were two words, "It's Playtime!" To the left of the man was "Coming soon..." and to the right, "Six Flags Great Plains." One teenager used his handheld library to look up "Six Flags." When the search finished, he looked at the various diagrams and told the others. The teenagers decided that the concept of the amusement park should be tried once more. The rest of the year was spent constructing a Boomerang. On December 31, 2099, the finishing touches were put on the coaster and at midnight, the park opened its doors. In the year 3000, the last amusement park was built. The teenagers named it in honor of the company who, almost a millennium before, had bought the land. The name: "The Seventh Flag." What will the future hold for this park? We will follow the park for as many years as deemed necessary, and see what takes shape. (Now how's THAT for an intro?)

I have had the worst day ever at school. First, my AP Calculus class, right after the AP test, insisted on learning new material. Then, in Programming, the DVD/CD drive put a scxratch that looks like Saturn's rings in one of my TPR DVDs, Then, the fire alarm, which was designed by escaped Nazis as a torture device, went off, causing me to nearly black out. Then someone kicked me in the leg while wearing CLEATS, which caused a large gash in my leg. The person said that he was sorry and did not mean to do that. So now I am DVDless, have a headache, a leg that hurts like hell, more homework, and the day is just about half over. I hate my school.

Loops Vs. Hills
timetrial3141592 replied to BrownStreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would like to see a coaster that does both. Schwarzkopf knew how to do it. -
Loops Vs. Hills
timetrial3141592 replied to BrownStreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I noticed that, too. There are exceptions. Hydra @ Dorney Park Talon @ Dorney Park Riddler's Revenge @ SFMM However, my theory is that inversions take up speed. Parks like inversions. Therefore, you cannot have lots of hills and lots of inversions. However, there is no reason that you cannot have a few of each. -
B&M Interview
timetrial3141592 replied to cgodsey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Where did you come up with the idea of the Zero-G Roll? Why did you break away from Intamin? Will you ever build more stand-up coasters? What is your opinion on the Intamin Rocket Coaster boom? Will we ever see a coaster with two Zero-G Rolls? How do you design your rides? How do you feel about Six Flags' statement that they will not be building any more roller coasters soon? Why will you not consider building coasters above 299'? How did you come up with the four-across seating arrangement? -

I agree. The Euro-Fighter concept is brilliant and would make a good addition to any amusement park. -

Six Flags and B&M Inverters
timetrial3141592 replied to Milkchan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Six Flags over a Really Flat Place in Space Somewhere has a custom B+M inverter. THis was the result of a drunken bet, a giant slingshot, and some spare B+M track lying around. That's why Batman is closed sometimes: they have to keep trucking that track piece between parks. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread

About boring B+M's... I think that it is not the inversions that make the coaster, but the biuts betrween the inversions. For instance, my favorite part of Riddler's is the turn right after the inclined loop. On a standard SLC, the turn after the roll-over. On Scream, the helix. On Batman: TDK, the turn after the dive loop. Just looking at the inversions shows nothing.
