Right now, I'm in the deep planning for the next "mega-attraction" for Parc du Tarbes. This time, it's going to be much harder than VauTour ever was! But, I'd like to ask if there are any suggestions that I should take into account this time around for the next so-called "game". I want it to be difficult and mind-boggling, but I want feedback on how hard to make it; the hardest challenge is making the viral game accessible to everyone but confusing at the same time. Also, how everyone would feel about a flying coaster from griffonj2022? I am currently working on project #6 right now, the next addition to Parc du Tarbes, and have #7, #8, and #9 to go. If I do decide to go ahead and make a flying coaster, it would probably be project #10. Project #9 won't be coming out until June of 2012 (Sorry, I like to make people wait a little bit for the excitement ), so summer of 2012 would be the time it is completed. Anyone interested? -griffonj2022

Even though it's only months away, something has been hiding in Parc du Tarbes for thousands of years... Think you know our secret? -griffonj2022

Get abducted. -griffonj2022

ARE WE READY?! I can't wait... -griffonj2022

I can't wait to see the trains for this ride. They are going to be so sick! I heard that they're revealing them later this month, along with hopefully completing track work as well. Hope they start testing before Christmas!

The funny thing is is that I just learned Mole's in chemistry today.... Weird! Nonetheless, I do think Verbolten will be much better than BBW was. I never liked the feeling of the back of the train trying to catch up to the front of the train the whole ride.

Where did you get that plane from, the one that's submerged in the water? What about the helicopter as well...because those could come in very handy with a project that I am working on!

Interesting. I have never seen them do this before, the spine dives right into the ground. Looks like a support for a giant schwarzkopf loop! Guess they are going back to their roots for this one! That is pretty different isn't it? I didn't realize that the spine did that until you pointed that out, but I'm sure that it has a pretty meaningful purpose if it's sitting there like that! Regardless, these photos are great. Now we can just wait for the lift to be topped off before we all ooooooooooo and ahhhhhhhhhh some more!

Yeah, I thought it looked rather odd as well. Instead, how about a watchtower? Can't wait for 11[11]11 can you? Neither can I! -griffonj2022

Just you wait... If you think THE SWARM is epic, which is it of course , there is a lot more in store for you to come! Now, here comes the part where I ask for some help in the theming process.... Yay or nay? Give me some suggestions on what to make explode! -griffonj2022

Here's something you might enjoy then!

You've confused me... Do you mean the naming of them, or that THE SWARM is being released on 11[11]11? Or are you just messing with me and being totally sarcastic? Nonetheless, I cannot wait to have this attraction take over TPR. It's going to be unlike anything else I've ever done, yet similar to everything I have done. Can't wait! -griffonj2022

WildEagle is loosely based off of Tranan at (fill in the blank park). The name of the park is lost in my brain at the moment, but it's something very long and German-sounding. Thanks for the compliment though! This ride was literally build under the shadow of VauTour, it's big brother, while I was finishing that up. I just opened a scenario, started to build, and there it was! I'm really organic when it comes to the track layout and coloring, so everything came naturally. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as you do But, the music is something that you just gotta deal with... I pick songs that I tend to listen to while I'm working on it or that just seem to fit with the ride. WildEagle gives off this rustic, don't-mess-with-me vibe, and that's how that song sounds to me. Sorry if you don't like it, but it's the way it is! Can't wait to reveal (NOT release!) the next project tomorrow! They're coming.... -griffonj2022

It's out! The eagle has finally hatched out of it's shell! I was so excited to do this project 'under-wraps' behind VauTour, being that I consider WildEagle to be VauTour's little brother... I hope everyone loves this ride as much as I do. I really had a great time putting the whole experience together, and I know that you'll love to FLY on the EDGE! -griffonj2022 P.S. - Expect some more shots of the ride later this week...oh, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (Just like I promised! ) P.S.S. - IGNORE THE WHOLE BLANK SECTION IN THE VIDEO Totally forgot to fix that...

Being one of my most anticipated coasters of 2012, if not the most anticipated, this ride looks like it's getting better and better each day that it's being constructed. I only wish that I lived in England right now

Oh...so close. But, not close enough. The invasion can occur at any time, and it is unknown what or will take place. Be on your toes, for you may be next... Actually, that seems to be the mechanism for which the apocalypse is said to occur from. It's a machine of mass destruction that will destroy anything within it's path, or so I've heard. The invasion has made it's way around the globe, and it seems where we are is next. Hope you're expecting the unexpected.

I couldn't wait any longer to post this...I just had to do it. Sorry if I'm not as explicit as you would like me to be, but that's the fun of it all. Figure this one out for yourselves and see what you get! I wasn't as secretive this time, and Project Fly is easy to figure out too! Get ready for the invasion... -griffonj2022

Would you mind someday if I stole that first drop design? I'm in love with it

Oh this thread was made for me...I can't even tell you how many ideas are swarming around in my head right now, just waiting to be let loose. There's a dive machine that I have to finish, a hypercoaster, a B&M invert, a floorless, an X-Car, an Intamin accelerator...I just have too many ideas I guess! However, I will ask if the name enVy interests anyone, as I'm planning that for the Intamin accelerator above. Can't wait to see what everyone else has planned as well! -griffonj2022 P.S. - I do happen to have another huge project in the work with another member of TPR, but that's entirely undercover...

I like how you gave the drop a sharp curve to the right at the bottom, only to have it swoop up into a dive loop to the left. Very nice...

I remember making a dive machine in RCT3 when I was about 11 named Ryu... Stole my name man! Anyways, the park is really cool. I'm not the best in RCT2, as RCT3 is more my thing, but the wooden coaster built into the mountainside is genius. I really love the hopping in and out of the ground! Keep up the good work!
