Im a member of the forums and a developer, and I can tell you that TPB3D is alive and well! The Ride Design program beta has been released to a select few, and coding is progressing constantly with increasing speed. -

Wow interesting... This thread caught my eye because in a video game I play, one of the characters, Suika, has an attack called Ignis Fatuus. -

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

GCI should do a major retracking of the ride.. And then after give the ride Timberliners! If there as lightweight as GG says then the smooth GCI trackwork will stay in top condition and be nice and smooth. -
Must sees- Lake Compunce Six Flags New England Six Flags Great Adventure How far north are you going? There is a nice smaller park about an hour north of Boston, great selection of rides, a vintage wooden coaster, and the second oldest inverting coaster in the world thats still operating. Its called Canobie Lake Park.

I checked accuweather.com several times and "A Light Rain" did not correspond to me with "Shut down rides" -
Quassy - FujiQ Of The West

The main reason was that we had to drive back to MA, all we were planning on doing was dropping in to get the credits, go on a few rides, and leave. -
Quassy - FujiQ Of The West

There was no lighting or violent thunderstorms. The forecast predicted a 40% chance of LIGHT RAIN... Anyway heres the pics. There all 800 x 600 so you might be able to use them. Closed spiral slide. =( Crappy pic of a car on Mad Mouse. Curve on the closed Mad Mouse. Empty parking lot... Mad Mouse sign. Crappy pic of me on the worlds slowest Trabant. -
Nice photo trip report! Did you happen to go on the brand new "Wild Mouse"? Is it worth a 2 hour drive?

Well, here is my TR. Pics up later tonight. I pulled into the parking lot of Quassy around 12:15. The sky was cloudy and a light rain was in the forecast but it was fine right now. We payed $5.00 to park, and I got the $21.00 all day wristband. Now on to the sucky part. Right after I bought my wristband I noticed Mad Mouse/Monster was closed. The attendant at the ticket booth said "All the roller coasters and slides are closed due to rain." I responded "There is NO rain! Who the hell are you run by? cedar fair? I want my money back!" No refunds. Its true. Mad Mouse/Monster, Little Dipper, all the dry slides, all the water slides, Paratrooper, Yo-Yo, and most of kiddieland was closed. I walked around the park. Played and failed at Deal Or No Deal. I picked the $1 case for my personal case. After walking around I decided to go on the worlds slowest Trabant. EVAR. Little to no force. Then I went over to the bumper cars. The one good ride I went on. The old cars have the "Audi" symbol on them. Not very well maintained and there is one lightweight modern car in the mix. The unlucky fellow who goes in that always gets beaten to death by all the other heavy cars. Very long ride, like 4 minutes. Kinda unforertable seats but whatcha gonna do. In other news, "Flying Bobs" was rethemed into "Music Fest", and then "Music Fest" was renamed "Rock And Roll". Kinda cool side panels but I dont understand why a music themed ride has sea monsters and mermaids on it... I left at 1:35 dissapointed and annoyed for the long an monotinous drive back to Massachusetts.

Boulderdash Is Trimmed!
megamatt replied to megamatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Dont worry, before that turn Dash is still its old airtime filled self. The final hills are a little slower but not much. Now its a little slower, still some awesome airtime. -

Its official, I went to Lake Compounce today. At the beginning of the formerly awesome swoop turn before that part GCI redid, there is now a noticable trim. Its so bad it actually jerks you forward in your seat! The final hills are still deliver pretty good air, but that turn is just kind of... meh... I mean come on LC! WHY DIDNT YOU DO IT TO WILDCAT! A MAYBE IT WOULD MAKE IT LESS ROUGH!!!
