What does everyone think of iOS 6? I'm downloading it for my iPad right now. I'm looking forward to seeing what exactly has been improved.

I've always loved your work, especially your NCS parks! Great job with the park so far! It looks extremely clean and polished, something many NCS parks lack.

I do think that theming, in any situation can make a ride better. Even though I disliked Green Lantern as a ride, I had to give Six Flags props for some pretty cool theming in the queue, as well as the re-theming of the Gotham area. Theming, even of it is minor, can make a ride/park experience better. iI's expensive though. The issues becomes whether or not the theming will be cost effective for the park in the long run.

Yay! About time we had an RCT3 challenge! one question: can we add a station and or a tunnel to the wooden coasters, or does that fall under the modification category?

Seriously...why do you dislike Pony Express so much? It's a family oriented attraction, and not meant to thrill. If you take it for what it is, it's still a fun ride.

If you never receive criticism, then you'll never improve. Like I've said before, you don't need a clique, or un-original story for your park. Here's the silly format people always do: Family Run Park > Bought Out By Chain > Bought Out By Another Chain > etc. You may not be the best player, but that doesn't mean you can't try to improve. Take the advice people give rather than disregarding it with an excuse. In all honesty, you'd probably enjoy putting a bit more detail into each attraction rather than sticking in a hodgepodge rides just so you can update it. It doesn't need a story. What it needs is more attention to detail. it won't take any longer than usual, but if you make the park look ascetically nicer and varied, people will enjoy looking at it more. That doesn't mean you have to become a slave to the community, it just means people would appreciate it if you put your own creativity into play rather than combining a bunch of elements for pre-existing brands. Sure, people can pull it off well, but not right off the bat. -SCC

Now THAT is how you do a proper NCSO hyper!

My friend bought me Portal 2 this weekend. I'm already 6 hours into the story and 2 hours into the Co-Op and I've been having a total blast. The game really is a fantastic achievement.

^An observation tower would most certainly be more than 5 million dollars on its own, even if they went with a flying island. Since they're investing 5 million in rides and shows, I don't see that as being likely.

Wow. At least it went out with a bang.

That's a really great ad! I'm looking forward to Haunt this year, especially with Trapped and the Green Witch!

I really wouldn't consider Forbidden Journey to be a bad ride. Sure it's not quite as cohesive as Spiderman, but it's still one of the coolest darkrides I've ever ridden. The Kuka Robotic Arm system alone makes it one of a kind.

Yes. Yes

No harm no foul. It's rather interesting seeing them take it out...I'll be weird looking back at the boardwalk now without seeing that towering structure.

That's a seriously cool meet and greet, although you have to wonder just how much money they spent on this...those animatronics look amazingly realistic...seeing as how Mermaid's price of 100 million were rumored to have mainly gone towards the ride animatronics...I shudder to imagine what the final bill for this attraction might be! I really do like the concept though. it'll be interesting to see if the new Fantasy Faire area at Disneyland will use a similar concept, or continue the traditional meet and greet style system?

Can I disqualify you for being obnoxious about it? I think I will. You're disqualified from winning anything. I wasn't trying to be obnoxious.... I had a lot of fun with the app, my comment wasn't intended to be obnoxious. I just edited the post, I'm sorry if it sounded rude.

Good luck beating my high score everyone! I had a ton of fun playing the app and hope someone can beat my current score!

Legoland CA has a Star Wars Miniland as well as a Star Wars weekend event once a year with Disneyland 45 min up the road. I assume a similar situation will happen here.

Just got my brand new Asus Gamer Series Laptop. i7 processor, 16 gigs of ram and a ridiculously high powered graphics card. Can't wait to try this sucker out!

Any kind of a coaster would be considered a major deal for the park, Sierra Sidewinder was heavily advertised when it opened.

Sea World San Diego Has one just an hour or two south...and considering Knott's hasn't worked with Mack on any big project like this, it seems highly unlikely. Um, Sierra Sidewinder. Sorry, that slipped my mind at the time I wrote it.

Let's say that a logical solution to a problem is a straight line from point A to point B. A politician's line would look like the fiendish scribbles of a young toddler intent on mischievously ruining something. Long, drawn out, non sensible, and done without conceivable reason. And that is the reason why I hate politics. No one knows how to draw a straight line.

They're closing quite a bit of stuff! Great to see that Carsland has alleviated the crowds enough to the point where they can now start closing some of the larger rides that could use a rehab. Looking forward to seeing how Indy looks after the rehab! Still one of my favorite darkrides!

Great to see this park finally ready to open!
