For anyone out there who has any kind of coaster dynamix- I have a question for you! I am building my own model, but building it from scratch and I need some statistics. I will converting a static kumba train into one for time machine, so I will be using that track as my base measurements. In inches or centimeters, what is the width and height of the rectangle spine? [] Thanks your your help!

^So like the first train out or is it better to get the third or fourth? My guess would be the late October mornings are the best? I need this to happen to me already! How many times a day on average does it happen?

Positives: -Layout. It was nice and compact and had some pretty sweet side to side turns. It also had some nice airtime hills. The pumping overall wasn't too bad either, you could do a little touching up here and there but nothing too severe. Great job for sure! -Stats. It didn't boast huge amounts of airtime but from the front and back, it was within a good limit for a smaller coaster. Negatives: -Tunnel test. Before you officially release a coaster, but the entire coaster in a tunnel and make sure nothing breaks that coverage. One of the turns went straight into a hill! Ouch! -Supports. They weren't realistic in many places and the track was over/undersupported in different areas. ie) when you took it down to 2 bar track, that section has to be very well supported. Overall this coaster was really nice. I thought you did a great job with it! Keep up the good work!

I am not really sure, maybe just as experience? I mean you hear and see people all the time on that ride about their experience, and I felt left out. I still feel left out.

^^So if I go to CP and park myself on TTD all day, what are the odds? In fact I am not even sure how many times a day it occurs? Would my best chance for success be if I ran there first thing in the morning?

^Time Machine is a pretty hard trim on the MCBR. Though I don't know if I could necessarily relate the two having rode them so far apart in time.

^That is funny, cause I have never blacked out on a coaster and tried really hard to once on Goliath. I failed Was the MCBR always trimmed so hard, or is that a recent occurrence? I just seem to remember when I was back there awhile ago that the helix was significantly more intense than it was when I was there in March.

Calicoaster- Ya, what do you mean by that? I didn't know that anyone knew a short shot was coming before dispatch, I always thought it was like a mid launch to end of launch kind of thing, were it just happened. ^Corkscrew- What do you mean roll back on those coasters, the impulses are meant to go backwards? Did the coaster fault half way into the launch and only gave you half a push? In that case I have experienced it on Half Pipe at Elitches, but I don't consider that a roll back.

^^Wow, I almost didn't know who was posting that! I got so used to the metallica avatar, this one made me double take! ^I don't know what the rules are, but I think you should post the DL! I know stoks will announce the judges and all, but it will still be cool to check out other peoples creations. Stoksy, haven't yet decided if I have the time to join, but you can probably pencil me in. I just have to find a decent bench haha.

^I think people are just trying to be mean or tear your models apart or anything, but rather just trying to help you improve. It happens on my models too, and I build them with my hands! Anyways, I downloaded Serenity, awklark, and it was a very awesome coaster. I don't know why I missed it earlier! Great job, and I am sure this one will be just as awesome. Wish I could help with your situation.

Dear pretty title fairy, After a long while thinking about what I would like my title to be, and many you tube videos later, I decided! I would love if you would please change my title to "would do anything for a rollback" You are the best, and I hope china rocks! Definitely ride Dive Coaster for me please. Dearest, Jordan

^Yes. They are identical layouts. Where were the MF and Maverick pictures?! Great report though, looks like you had fun for sure.

^Perhaps, but it is still a point on my bucket list. It has to happen, dramatic or not, it just has to happen.

I pretty much want to experience one of these more than just about anything else, and I am wondering if I am just an anomaly in the enthusiast world that hasn't experienced one. So, the question is, have you or haven't you experienced a short shot "roll back" on an intamin accelerator? This is about as close as I have gotten. =[

As long as it isn't painted red or yellow, then we will know it is not going to a cedar fair park. Maybe its the promise Shapiro made for SFMM.

^CP's twitter seems to say a lot of things though, half of which I am pretty sure are lies. Gee See Eye!

Here are some of my favorites I found on a youtube top then video... Edit: TTD and KK may be one trick ponies to the enthusiast world, but damn does the world love them. They made every single top ten ever on youtube.

^Negative. Can you repost so we can see? Add to the thread too, instead of linking since this stuff happens.

I just want you to take a moment, look downstairs and realize everything is alright, and then thank SFGAm for turning the holding brakes off. Nice TR though, sucks that it was rainy but the lack of lines probably made up for it.

I am definitely in this time. I will PM you Big Mike since I did not receive the email last time. Thanks dude!

I've been looking for awhile now and can't find the answer, but screamscape is reporting that DD was to close in late august for its final completion to potterland, but is that true? When did they close (or when will they close) and planned reopen?

So I have some questions...How do you find out which league you are in? When is the respective draft? And how do we know our team names? Should be exciting! And sorry if those questions have been asked already.

Ok sign me up! Bring on da fuball!

I have Lagoon, World's of Fun, Valleyfair, SFoG, FMP and Elitches from this year and would definitely be interested in some european maps! Off of the top of my head, I also have CP from 2007 too.

How much is this one? And the draft is tuesday right? I think I am interested.
