A relatively interesting shot of Goldrusher at SFMM during West Coast Bash. Was the word straight in their vocabulary?

So you're building something kinda like this, NCS Steampunk, except with a western vibe?

Anyone else going to disregard all logic and go opening day? For a while I was worried that Carsland wouldn't fit into DCA but after seeing all the transformations the park has gone through over the past five years I'm very happy with how everything has turned out. Radiator Springs Racers looks like an extremely cool ride and looks to be the "Indy" of DCA. The overall immersive theming and attention to detail are really blowing me away. It's nice to finally see DLR get another large E-Ticket expansion that will entertain guests for many years to come. And since they spent an estimated (I believe?) $1 Billion Dollars on the overall project, I won't be complaining. While Universal beat Disney in terms of a large expansion in FL, I think Disney definitely has the upper hand in terms of project quality this time around. EDIT: I was watching Who Framed Rodger Rabbit the other day and noticed that the Trolleys from the movie look almost identical to the one they showed off in that video a few pages back... So are those trolleys actually new? Or did they grab them from an old prop barn? Joking aside it was still an interesting find.

Looks fine to me... I feel like people are becoming over-critical of what the ride looks like. Yes, compared to the other Transformers entrance this one might not seem as impressive, but I like it for what it is. It may have also been a style choice so it would fit better into the lower lot...who knows? I'll enjoy the ride for what it is. Star Tours and Buzzlightyear also have similar "facades" and I never hear complaints about those. Not that much of a difference here.

Sorry guys, I played the Song of Storms this morning. Funny, it was pouring this horribly last year too!

I think those are more of a shield placed there to keep people from sticking their legs out of the vehicle.

Definitely Option #1

I followed suit but with a slightly different look to the track I drew. This drawing and the two others below it are some of my better works I think. Still Kinda annoyed someone used the track design from my LIM Shuttle drawing...mainly why I've stopped sketching those... Enter a post-apocalyptic fight arena where you and your fellow riders are forced to traverse the trecherous landscape in other to escape.

What level of graphics is your computer set to?

SFDK thankfully doesn't even come close to the insanely difficult time I had finding my way around Busch Gardens Tampa...most confusing park layout ever...

Growing up as a ravenous Lego fan and absolutely loving that snowmobile set, this is a dream come true! Now when is Legoland CA getting this?

Here's a more in depth look at some of the new areas and features around the park. Shot0765 (Copy).bmp I updated Mechanism a bit, made it partially indoors.

LOLWut?

Best. Trip Report. ever.

Just went to Legoland CA and stocked up on their brand new 2012 park map, as well as Sea Life's 2012 map. I also has several of the last Brochure ever made for Wild Rivers If anyone is interested in trading, I have a few other maps as well, just PM me.

Evil has been.... Industrialized The Factory now has been turned into a large themed area with a flatride package. The area is now being called: INDUSTRIAL EVIL Shot0757 (Copy).bmp Haywire, the Top Star in the foreground, The Factory in the Mmidground, and Smoke Stacker, the Parachute tower int he background.

Pretty decent start. For the inverter however I'd use the invisible fences and just use some of Shyguy's or Dazmate's fences in place. it will look much better.

You're really improvng this park! I was a bit iffy when you first started it, but this new addition is fantastic! Keep up the great work!

In addition to the waterpark, Western Waters, I will also be adding Gold Dust Ranch, a hotel propertey that will be directly attatched to the park. A monorail will allow Resort guests to enter into the park next to the train bridge across from Kitanzi starting 15 minutes before the park opens to the public.

It was there from 2006-2011, disappeared for the fall and winter, and is now back. They are doing a ton of earth moving for this area.

Took some friends to legoland for the first time yesterday and they had a blast! Great to see this park still wowing people! I have a ton of footage including an updated walkthrough of the SeaLife Aquarium with their new Claws exhibit, an updated version of The Big Test, and a construction update. Here's the construction update, sorry in advance for the bad quality of some of the footage as I was rushing around the park as I took it.

Isn't Hartenhof the tracked version of Vekoma's Pandora's Box concept? They had pictures of it at one point. How far back has the ride's opening been pushed anyway? I heard 2013, but with the scale proposed for the attraction it seems like we're looking more towards 2014 or 2015...can anyone shed some light on the timeline?

If it's that close to the hotel, it's most likely not preparations for a new attraction. And seeing all the ways the new GM has been improving and upgrading the park and its surroundings, it's most likely just infastructure work.
