Hi, I was wondering something. Which park model of swinging ships do you like the best? Which do you think are the best overall? Are there any specific ones that are run better by the park that you could mention? Any very well themed ones? I tend to skip them, to be honest. Something about the motion of them tends to get me. Sorry if the mods find this topic pointless.

I'm not too upset. The past two times I got it the employee was rude and the actual product was all melted and refrozen together. And the first time, when I payed for it, she said "Go to the *coffee shop name* next to me and get change there if you want change, I'm all out of change." You shouldn't train your employees to say that if they don't have the proper change. You should train them to take a loss. Expecting the customer to take a loss or go to a different vendor just to get change is kind of ridiculous.

Great TR. This is a place that I need to visit eventually. Every TR I have seen of it, it looks even better! -

Hi! I'm considering going to Screeemfest at Canobie Lake this year... But I have a question. What do you do if someone is panicked or crying? Do you let them out through a special exit or something? I'm curious. I've never been to a scare event before, and I'm worried that I will freak out and start crying or have an anxiety attack. Thank you!

It used to be called Mr Pibb, but its called Pibb Xtra now. Most people just call it Pibb, though.

I'm pretty sure I felt an aftershock the night before last night. Either that or a truck went by.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/earthquake-rattles-washington-east-coast/2011/08/23/gIQAdypEZJ_blog.html?hpid=z1 I could feel it in Massachusetts. It was more of a rumbling noise for about 5 seconds, then a bit of a shimmy. Kind of like if a train went by.

The issues with the park are numerous. First, Myrtle Beach already has 2 amusement parks, Family Kingdom and NASCAR Speed Park. Second, from what I've heard, HRP/FMP were off of the main tourist areas, so lots of people didn't want to go out of their way, or went to Family Kingdom or NASCAR Speed Park instead. Another issue is that a third amusement park, Myrtle Beach Pavilion, had closed a few years before HRP opened. Myrtle Beach Pavilion was a smaller park with a lesser overhead than HRP/FMP too. Because of the sheer size of HRP/FMP, it requires lots of staff, electricity, Etc. And the local crowd generally goes to Family Kingdom, where it is pay per ride, so they can spend just a few hours there in the evening after work/school and relax, unlike HRP/FMP, where the park was admission only, and more expensive if you only are there for a few hours. I'm sure there are other issues too, but these are the ones that I have heard about.

Recently I've been beginning to stock up on emergency supplies. Some water, some food, a first aid kid, the basics. I'm hoping to expand soon, so I can have at least enough food and water to last 2 people 2 weeks with no outside supplies. I was wondering if TPR had a thread for it.. didn't find one, so.. Here it is. Discuss preparing for, and dealing with, natural disasters, disease, chemical spills, warfare, etc. (Zombies? ) Some helpful links: http://www.ready.gov/ 7 Ways to Light a Fire Without Matches How to Store Emergency Drinking Water

NEWS: Spider ride collapses, injures 3

This is early, but my money is on poor maintenance. I've never heard of an Eyerly Spider collapsing by itself before. -

Official RCT/RCT2 Help Thread
megamatt replied to Stoksy's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Here is the official Loopy Landscapes patch. It should work. If not, I suggest re-installing. EDIT - the Gold Edition is considerably older than the Deluxe pack, so it might not work period. But, I'm not sure. Nope, that didn't work. It said I had an incompatable game or a different version. Thank you for trying to help, though! -
Official RCT/RCT2 Help Thread
megamatt replied to Stoksy's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
That makes no sense. Whatsoever. This is a RCT2 thread, not a RCT1/RCT2 thread. Edit- Besides that, the game is called Roller Coaster Tycoon, not Roller Coaster Tycoon 1. -

I have the gold edition. The original installs fine, but when I install the 2-in-1 disk, it gives me an error trapper. Help? I cant seem to find the patch that I read about on the Atari forums. OS is Vista. -
THANK You TPR
megamatt replied to 560Poundcyclist's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is amazing.. and.. honestly.. this has inspired me to loose weight. I actually ended up crying I was so happy for you. Even though Im nowhere near as obese as you (39.3 BMI), I still want to be healthy. Thank you for this. Thank you very, very much. And congratulations. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
megamatt replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I went to Canobie Lake yesterday with my friend. First, let me explain. The advertising phrase for Untamed (great ride By the way..) is "Ride the Wild". Back to my story, while walking over to Untamed, I overheard a girl complaining to her friends... Girl 1 - " Ugh, where IS that Wild ride? I cant find it anywhere." Girl 2- " Im telling you *girl 1, forgot her name*, that was just a slogan!" Girl 1- " No, im SURE they added TWO rides this year! Untamed and Wild!" Girl 3- " I think *girl 1* is right..." The hell is the world coming to. At least one of them had sense. -
Worst Coaster Ever?
megamatt replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I haven't ridden many coasters, but, for me.. Steel - Arrow Corkscrews Wood- ... Probably Wildcat at Lake Compounce. Its a lovely looking ride, but it doesn't have much for forces, and it is rough as hell.
