  1. I LOVE IT! You seem to be working extra hard on this project. Love it! Keep up the good work.
  2. Exactly it. I don't need the towers to cross, just a conventional square. hah
  3. I've attempted custom supports on a GIB for ages now, and I just can't get it. Does anyone on here have one supported, or could make one? Thanks for taking a look!
  4. Does anyone here have a Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang that is custom supported and all?
  5. Since you guys don't exactly like SCREAM!, why not give it to us at Great America...
  6. The Water Park reaches capacity daily. So, they should add more in the dry area to attract more people there.
  7. That would be our only normal sit-down looping modern coaster! Love the idea.
  8. Can anyone at the park confirm if the third train on Riddler is back, or if it's still gone.
  9. Sadly, No. These meetings are public, and must be posted publicly. The fish's out of the bag already, so I don't see why they don't just get the variance just in case.
  10. Great America 14 Coasters + Deep Dish Pizza + Italian Ice = AMAZING
  11. Well look at this! B&M built a coaster that has some heavy G's, and they didn't have to add trim breaks everywhere... Anywho, I rode it 7 times in a row, and on the 7th I blacked out for a few seconds after the first loop.
  12. ^ That is correct. The park's PR lady told the press that they were still seeking expansion, they are just not going to appear at THIS board meeting. Some confusing stuff indeed.
  13. Try this: Raging Bull at Great America, an all teenage crew, one of them texting the entire time, two train operation STACKING. Both queues were full. Worst. Wait. Ever. :/
  14. I would LOVE to go! I live about 40 minutes from the park and have a season pass! Count me in!

  16. Oak Pine Amusement Park June 29, 2006 Today is truly a sad day in our parks great history. After a small incident in which two trains collided on a lift during testing, and a train seat malfunction, this troubled ride has been removed and will be sent to a new park soon. We will never allow our guests to ride one of the coasters unless it is 110% safe, and delivers the full ride experience. The land was fixed earlier today. The fence was put up later, and the opening in the path fence was filled temporarily. With such a large fence area, I wonder what may begin to take place here. Only time may tell.
  17. The park has reached about two or three more updates on the Atari Forums, I forgot to automatically port it up here. But I want to get up to date ASAP, as I'm ditching the Atari "Community"
  18. Oak Pine Amusement Park June 14, 2006 Introducing, Plunge, an all new water attraction for the whole family! Drop 3 times, and get soaked all in a 4 minute ride! An overview of the fairly small area that it sits on. Towards the end of the queue it's known as the "splash-zone". You can see why! See Ya' Soon!
  19. I sincerely hope you meant flywheel or weight drop system. If you look earlier, you can see that the park replaced the old system with LIM motors. ---------------- May 30, 2006 We have a bit of bad news, that might also come as good news. After a sudden restraint malfunction, and problems with other rides of this type across the country, we've decided it's in the best interest of the park to remove the problematic ride. It began raining shortly after I took this photo. Maybe we should start to collect all of this water. What a Day! What a Place!
  20. Oak Pine Amusement Park May 20, 2006 We are really happy with the total turnout of our park! We've reached new heights, both literally and figuratively! I've been authorized to let you, as a board member, know one of our new additions that should be completed soon, and that is the Concert Hall. The concert hall will host over 20 different concerts this summer, and will hopefully host even more in the coming years! Sadly, we can't run Greezed' Lighting during the rain, due to a fire hazard with the LIM motors. During the rain, lemonade isn't as popular as the rides. Today was also a pretty cold day, so lemonade wasn't popular all day. Guests scrambled to get under something before the rain increases. It seems the Tea Cups were a bit popular today! Jim Boyde and his sons came on a pretty bad day! Luckily they got in for free! See ya' soon!
  21. Opening Day! May 1, 2006 ]Thank you for your continued interest in our lovely park! I'm happy to announce that after one full year of hard work, and white hairs, our park is coming to life! We've opened to great crowds! The only downfall is that it isn't as warm as we had anticipated. I received quite a few questions today and am going to be answering them here! Q: There seems to be no water product in the park, will we see any expansion in the near future? A: We hope to expand our water park greatly in the coming years. Q: Will we see a mega coaster in the coming years? A: I don't think a mega coaster is quite in the works just yet, as we don't have a lot of room at this point in time. We hope to purchase a wider variety of land in the coming years, but for now, the answer is simply, no. Q: Why are Terror Slope's lines SO long? A: Due to the unique seating arrangement of TS, the capacity of the ride dwindles. We have ad headed to your advice, and will be adding one worker to the Terror Slope Crew! Thank you for your concerns! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- An overview of the park. We hope to expand further to both sides of the park and the back. [/size][/size] A photo of Psyclone, Greezed lightning, and one of the most unanticipated additions of the year, Spin-a-bout, an outward facing Frisbee. Something many of us wanted to see, a closeup shot of Terror Slope! The station for this magnificent coaster is yet to be completed. In the morning we had a few problems with the chain lift switch around, where one of the lifts began to stop working. Jim H. wanted to let me know that he will be upgrading his one-day admission ticket to a full season pass! See ya' soon!
  22. It's not that big a deal. Little kids should expect a seat-belt and will automatically put it on.
  23. WONDERFUL! I really think that you're on to something.
