Why be sorry? I like it here and it has an excellent business school. And you can't do any of the activities I like to do up in foco.

^^Haha, that's where the lazers go! That made me laugh just a little. About the empty seat though, wouldn't you want to test in the back of the train because the forces are greater?

I do not know what the big deal is! Cause its practically the best weather I have ever seen here in Boulder. I would be ok if it never snowed again!

^Two consecutive losses though. That hurts when you only had 10 up until that point.

The loop seems like it is hardly shorter than the lift hill! But I think that the supports look good, between this and Firewhip I am really buying into this whole paint the supports thing.

Why run the train with some seats empty? And those scoops on the back look a little "thinner" than SheiKras, do they not?

I would like to see something big to be built for the next year!

I don't get this park, first its run off rapids being released the 24th, then that got scrapped for the snow fort and a new B&M and then the snow fort is being scrapped for something new and there hasn't been a peep about the new coaster. What are your plans for this park?

I completely underestimated this coaster in all its entirety. I didn't even remember there was a "crowd surfing"element and all those turns just look so smooth. This ride has changed the park. But going back to something brought up earlier, a lot of the track and supports have gotten "abused" in installation. They're definitely going to require some paint!

^^There is a version of most of the NL tools on coastersims.com but I can't get the site to load right now. I searched elsewhere and found the tools here. And then regarding the video, its not working anywhere! Coastertube and youtube won't have anything to do with it. I'm still trying though.

We've seen Diamondback catch up on construction and already do test runs! When is this ride finally going to fly?

Did anyone ever find out if the plans had been altered?

Robb, I am trying to upload an avi to coastertube of a coaster I created, but when I press "upload" it momentarily flashed "uploading-please wait" and then disappears. Is this something I am doing wrong?

Its great to see this park moving along so fast and it truly is a great park! I enjoy the amount of detail you put into it! Can't wait for next update!

I think if you are a theme park enthusiast, you have to love that roar! But it definitely screamed through the course, I was just a little surprised that it wasn't traveling faster past the splashdown because it didn't fly into the brake run. And it didn't have any splash effects to slow it either.

Even though the rides aren't the best in the world and it has a fairly disgusting combination of fried food, you just cannot get that atmosphere anywhere else. It is kind of novel and kind of fun yet kind of dirty and painful. If I had to pick between the Pinfari or the B&M's off in the distance, I would get my credits and run!

^This ride only has boats of 10 people max, I feel that a coaster train (Unless they continue the recent trend of the short trains ie) Kanonen, Sky Car and especially Speed Monster) would weigh too much and buckle the wheels on the elevator system. The single sided lift would be under a lot of stress from all the weight overall and all the weight on the outside seats.

Wow. I feel very stupid right now. Sorry TPR, I didn't think that one through. Why id it changing though? Sorry again.

^How difficult is it to get into the ambassadors program? Have you heard anything about the career slam either?

Immmm....ssooooooo....startledddd ^Davethefish, you just scroll down on the post window and you get to the "add video, photo or other" section. From there, you just browse the picture on your comp and it uploads when you post! Peruvian Flute band > pandemic

Looty, I am actually in the same situation you are in and I was talking to an organizer about the event and she told me to shoot her an email in the spring time (I think that means mid march) to sign up for the program. From what I understand, the ambassadors program is an opportunity for college students to help with the convention and make sure it runs smoothly. Another thing I was informed about is called "Career Slam". A similar college age gathering at the event in a round table environment. The table will include approx 20 students (from what I remember) as well as countless industry executives. So if you are looking at checking out Vekoma when you go abroad, you might be able to meet some big names at the career slam. I would advise you check that out, and if you pm me I will be happy to give you the email of the person I am talking to! Lastly, I do not know if you have heard about this, but Disney offers a 6 month long paid internship for all majors, interests, etc. It sounds like a great program and I know I am checking that program out in the future. The link to the Disney internship can be found here. Robb and anyone else interested, this is a little excerpt from funworld magazine for last years show and program.
