Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
chadster replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So I guess the queue dictator could ask, "How would you like your restraints today" until they are all changed out. Still hating myself for not booking a flight out there sooner. -

Dammit, missed it before the modifications. #pissedatmyself -
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that it could have been the first time he's seen the "proposal", plus he does say he's not sure how serious it is, still it's pretty obvious its made up/fake/school project/attention getter/dreamed up/whatever you want to call it. Sometimes it's difficult to weed out the crap in rumors, heck if I posted every rumor I've ever heard about a park I'd been kicked out of here long ago!

TR: Let's Talk About Keansburg Amusement Park!
chadster replied to bubala's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was there last year end of July and had a rather good time. It is a ghetto park, no doubt there, but I like the ghetto parks that have a personality, and this one certainly has that! Ride ops in plain clothes, eating dinner at the rides, mix matched bumper cars, of course the cheesy dark ride! Is it on par with Morey's? No, but it does have a personality to it, especially at night. -

How much do you guys want to bet it's tied up in permitting and whatnot. -

Nothing is simple in coaster design. If it was, everyone would be doing it and doing it well. -

Did somebody say video? Here is a higher quality version of the same video rendered as I normally would. 4 hour lesson learned, don't cut corners... -

Here is what I think based on the evidence at hand, it curves left going up from the bottom of the first drop, then rolls right at the top of the hill, then rolls left again and straight down then hails ass back over the lift. -

Video of SDC train ride 6.24.12 Rendered at a quicker setting, not happy with the quality, probably re-do it today. Oh yeah, you can see the dip off the hill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icEdmdnh_7s -

Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread

I'm rendering some video of the train ride I took, actually since I took the train three times you get to take the train too Render says 3:40 left to go, yikes, I need to quit filming in 1080p! (Or get a better computer) Anyway looks like I got one of the conductors on my last ride telling the wildfire story similar to what shavethewhales heard. In 12 rides (I went through my video of 6 of them) that was a first, refreshing change too from their earlier, "yeah, we are building something, but that's all I can say" routine the first three months of operation. Of course, I guess it's kinda hard to hide it now For preview purposes and to get your mouths salivating I have a nice shot of the track swooping down off the drop -

Well, all I can say is they were not saying anything about it on my train rides up until my ride this past weekend other than "yes folks, we are building something and I'm not authorized to tell you what it is" And this past weekend they were back to pretty much the same thing other than keep an eye on the website and we are calling it incomplete. You got lucky with a good conductor I suppose. -

^Took the train three times this weekend, no reference to that effect, the only thing they were saying is they were calling it 'Incomplete' and to go to www.silverdollarcity2013.com for more details. I imagine it has a lot to do with who is the conductor at the time as they rotate their personnel around daily on the train ride as far as who plays what character and who is the conductor. And you can tell too with the acting, a few of the noobs still need to fine tune their skills Still working on getting some video rendered, work has slowed that down. Damn work. -
