Just like what everybody else said, this squashes KY's state fair for sure. You even have a transportable Enterprise! Great shots too, especially of Area 51.

Storm Chaser has the lights on the back of each car as well. I'm assuming it's a standard for RMC's to do that. (I might be imagining it, but I believe I've seen them somewhere on B&M wing coasters as well.)

Cyclos then Lightning Run to get the slowest queues out of the way first.

Lightning Rod Six Flags Discovery Kingdom?

Prospero año y felicidad

Merry Christmas, east coast! Edit: and everybody else!

I'm confident it could still complete the course if it was a speedy lift hill. The experience, though, would change for sure. The two humps at the top of the launch hill both give airtime, and that would be lost. For a first time experience to the park, I also probably would not have been let down by Dollywood if LR wasn't running. This is a kicka** park on its own, and would be made better once the drop tower is put in.

The other side has a shaded patio area with chairs and tables, but I think it was used as a smoking area last season. It would be perfect if they turned it into a new restaurant somehow. I rode by the park on the highway and could see the pieces on the ground from there. I'm sure the loop would be clearly visible as well once it's up.

Played around with the update shortly after it came out since I won't be able to tinker with it more until a couple days from now. I was surprised to also hear a lot of mechanical and scream sound changes with coasters. It sure didn't hit me how much it was until I saw the list of shops. Going from 9 food shops to 16 food shops is quite a jump!

I'm starting to think most YouTubers have broken caps lock buttons.

Brace yourselves, winter is coming (tomorrow)! Timestamps- 5:30 - Screenshots of new Collider flatride (HUSS Enterprise) 7:06 - Screenshots of new Bumper Cars 11:50 - Screenshots of new larger steam locomotive ("inspired by North Pacific Coast 12 Sonoma") named "Iron Horse." 12:55 - SNOW!!! 14:17 - Sleigh ride track ride. 18:31 - Opening a new scenario with the Christmas theme 19:32 - Bumper Cars in action 21:55 - New useful management options 22:42 - Ride prestige and reputation. 19:27 - Building the sleigh ride. 40:00 - Building the Collider (Enterprise) 44:31 - Building the new locomotive Plus 7 new shops including pizza, doughnuts, smoothies, juice shop, water shop, ice cream. New elf and reindeer hats (9:10 mark). More flexibility with water ride inclines and declines.

Zero-G is 140ft. That and the 120ft ARM tower at KK are my favorite drop towers ever for the same reasons you stated! I'm excited for Dollywood to get a drop tower! The park's uniqueness stands out even further with getting a Funtime Skyfall instead of an ARM, Intamin, or S&S tower. I saw some videos of them and they look pretty great.

Couldn't care less if they're fashionable or not. Also all of my cargo shorts have buttoned side pockets, and ever since Storm Chaser opened my trust in having my phone in any pocket had decreased significantly. One close-call led me to leave my phone in a backpack before boarding most coasters, typically.

Hit right-ctrl + right-shift + G to hide the top and bottom bars, and then F12 to do in-game screenshots. Park looks nice so far. I especially like your water rides!

While the other two park sims have fully "released" their games, the Parkitect team continue pushing monthly updates and additions to their alphas, as well as doing monthly art streams building a new ride and other art pieces. Latest update for this month rolled out included a Zamperla Power Surge, new music, and more statistical info added in the game. I was able to catch the stream where they built this ride, and it was interesting seeing them model the entire ride from scratch in one sitting (animating came later).

Any Arrow or Vekoma looper (Vortex at KI, Ninja/Blue Hawk at SFOG, etc.), or almost any flat ride that utilizes hanging purely from chain or wires.

Voyage at around 65. I predict Thunderbird to surpass it next season since it's at 60.

Interesting watching a Planet Coaster playthrough, and at 6:33 he mentions TPR's "We're on a Log Flume" video while making a log flume in the game. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

I love this park as well! Great work!

Judging from the video they posted, it looks like one of the larger ones they've been selling like crazy. The website only lists two, the larger one with thicker track, and the smaller transportable one with thinner track and cable wires.

You're right... A.R.M.... I was thinking it was Larson Then you probably meant Flying Machines and FearFall!

[fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] I'm all for it, especially on Thunder Run getting improvements!

Words cannot even begin to describe how refreshing it felt to be back in a true "theme" park outside of Florida, especially on the level that Dollywood had. It was my first time there this past weekend, and being less than 4 hours away, I had no more excuses not to go. The variety and uniqueness in the park's coaster lineup was incredible. No two coasters felt the same and all were very enjoyable. Mystery Mine ended up being my top guilty pleasure coaster due to its deep and consistent theming, but also managing to be just a tad jarring in some moments. Wild Eagle was plenty fun, especially with its placement high above the park. I had no idea what I was getting into with Blazing Fury, but was fairly impressed with its drops and surprises. Thunderhead was far better (and longer) than I had expected, and easily one of my top favorites at the park! Tennessee Tornado was a nice surprise considering how smooth it was for an Arrow looper. The force of the kick out of the station on Firechaser Express was surprisingly strong, but it was pretty excellent overall for a family coaster! There's no surprise on my thoughts on Lightning Rod. I don't mean to add to the broken record of people chanting "all hail LR," but bear with me when I say this coaster was an absolute riot! I did row 8 early that morning after park opening and completed a lap around the park once, then successfully convinced my brother to join with me at the park and I got to ride row 2 with him. I don't think I had ever seen him (or myself) smile and laugh so hard on a roller coaster in a long while! The evening rides on it when it was pitch black in the forest made for arguably one of the best night rides on a coaster I've ever experienced as well. The coaster is very fast-paced and completely bonkers, and was worth the face-numbing frigid winds received during my two night rides! There's still a lot I missed from doing the park (like the shows, and lots of the food), but I seriously hope to make a return visit someday!

Game is officially released today. It also dropped in price to $35 from its $50 early access buy. I wanted to have a look back at the game, but my copy doesn't start. Does it start for anybody else?

Honest question, do stores even have PC gaming sections anymore? Last time I walked into a GameStop, they did not have one at all. I thought most PC games had gone to online downloads by now.
