TPR Bay Area Weekend - SFDK/CGA
SoCalCoasters replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I thought of that to, but I'm too afraid at this point to hope for anything like that. But I seem to remember that most of those are less than 150 feet. Plus, they'd probably take up less space because of the vertical lift hills, and there are none so far on the west coast. It'd be awesome if SFDK became the first. Gertslauer's 320+ Eurofighter Model is only 72" tall: http://www.rcdb.com/9517.htm It looks like Untamed would be able to fit in Big Spin + Extra Un-used Space Originally for Zonga. -

I've heard this one more times than there are people... Space Mountain goes upside down. (refering to Disneyland's) -
TPR Bay Area Weekend - SFDK/CGA
SoCalCoasters replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The plot for Pandamonium was quite small. Since it's a small plot, I see a Gertslauer replacing a Gertslauer... I'm thinking Eurfighter right now... -
Okay okay okay....calm down... First: During the Q&A at CGA during Bay Area Bash, we were told by the management that the woodie is indeed coming to the park in the next few years. They also told us, that while the neighbors expessed some legitimate concerns about nose levels coming from the coaster that could indeed disturb their workplace, a sound test was done that indicated the sound was within acceptable levels. They were expressing their concerns, is that such a bad thing? Second, Boomerang Bay still brings in consistently large crowds, but probably not enough to justify a new slide complex that can only operate for part of the year. The water park is free with admission and still has a fair amount of rides. Third: The coaster isn't going to be here for 2012, management told us that. The project is ready to go, but won't be put into effect next year. Expect it 2013-2014 I believe they said. Unless something changes, the ride will be here eventually. Fourth: The Spongebob 4D attraction caters to families, and a very large crowd, and consistently has long wait times. At this time there is no point in changing it. If SFDK eventually decides to start using theirs again, who knows, maybe they will change the film. For now however, Spongebob isn't going anywhere.

According to several key figures working to complete this project, the entire thing has been canceled for good. Just thought I'd let everyone know. -
The "Preview" Thread
SoCalCoasters replied to DBru's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Wait...is this really happening? Is this possible? Has someone actually gotten a decent re-creation of Screamin's Layout in RCT3? Thos was made to be as acurate as possible.... [MOD EDIT: But surely the spelling was NOT!] This was made to be as ACCURATE as possible... -

^ We don't need another Cedar Point Looking interesting...not sure how much I like the Hyper-Lite being that close to the edge of the map.... -
Recently in chat I was discussing how I had been looking for the soundtrack for California Screamin' and Space Mountain, and hadn't been able to locate them. Eventually I managed to track down some downloads for each one....however.... I believe the Space Mountain and California Screamin' soundtracks, at one point, were for sale somewhere in Disneyland. On YouTube you see hundreds of videos using theme park music without any parks having legal issues with it. What exactly are the legal issues surrounding soundtracks such as those and say the Paradise Pier Soundtrack. Is having the download for each one illegal since at one point they were for sale? Also I know some people go through the parks with recorders and record the music in each area and the post it on sites. Is this too considered illegal, and if so, do parks just not care whether or not the soundtracks are on the internet? I hope I worded this correctly, I was just interested in hearing exactly what people had to say on the issue...

Carlsbad Gardens [RCT2]
SoCalCoasters replied to SoCalCoasters's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I just thought I'd post in here since this was my first TPR project, and it's been a little over a year since I started the project. I've been playing a lot of RCT2 lately, and there is the possibility that I could start the park over, completely new. Would anyone be interested in seeing my improved skills in action? -

A few more hints were dropped during the Q&A at Bay Area Bash today... They were dropping very... unclear hints.... Pandamonium was rumored to be heading to Six Flags Mexico... If you look closely at Pandamonium's lot, the ride itself could easily be removed....it's basically just bolted to a concrete slab left over from Zonga... Not so subtle hint that a coaster is on way? Maybe that Flyer or Eurofighter is on the way...? They also mentioned that they had plans for the future involving the Motion Simulator.... Apparently all SF announcements will be made in Spetember... It can't come quick enough!

Just got back from SFDK, I had a total blast! The Q&A was very interesting.... They were hinting at the possibility Pandamonuim's Removal and a new coaster.... So will SFDK be loosing a coaster but gaining another? -
