I swear the evolution is going backwards. What. The. ****? How could you steal money from a little girl? Thats just wrong. Well, her reaction was priceless. I hope she has fun and rides as many coasters as she is tall enough for I'll admit, I'm just a little bit jealous

I know! I was thinking the same thing. God, this is like, horror-movie type accident. These are the kind of things scared little kids think of before they ride. Its a wonder that no one was killed.

^ I thought the ring of fire rides had OTSRs...

^ I think those ones on some European Schwarzzys are brillant. You basically get the same safety as traditional OTSR's, but more freedom, IE, if your short and ride an Arrow or Vekoma looper, you can't see anything to the sides of you...

Peter- Don't you see lois WE'RE ALIVE! Lois- Peter You're scaring Me Peter- Yes, Embrave the fear Lois, let it drive you, Dance with me Lois! *dances backwards like a ballerinna* Dance The Dance Of Life! *Smashes into a glass cabniet and lays on floor* I LOVE this quote

Haha, I was thinking about starting a topic just like this. I was thinking the same thing when I was riding the Boomerang and Sidewinder (Arrow Shuttle) a few weeks ago. I didn't see any need for OTSR on the Boomerang. There aren't any negative g's The Sidewinder has some pretty nice negative G's but no reason at all to have OTSR's... It doesn't make sense.

Just recently I accepted myself as gay, but then everything got complicated... I now have a crush on my best friend since toddler years (female). This is so confusing and hard

I think I might push it back a bit. Perhaps August 1st?

Thanks for the info Robb. I'll remember incase I see another "Email Dan" link

^I just got rid of it. I think I'm getting adjusted to the program now Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us This is the best I've got so far, I think.

Heres what I came up with: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us The loop now looks more B&M-y

Press print screen on your keyboard, open up paint or something similar, Control+V and save.

^ How would I do that? like, make the g's at the bottom of the drop larger?

^ Okay, that turned out better than I thought! Anything else I could fix at this point?

^ Kinect is basically an advanced Eye Toy, which I still have, and still use (rarely) But I agree the price point is much too high. Not to mention the games are gonna run $40+ which is gonna make it even more expensive. I probably won't get this unless it drops to $99 and if my brother is willing to pay half.

^ Thanks for those tips. And that track was pretty much just a play-around thing. I wasn't going for good element shaping at all Right now I'm making a full track with Newton... and I'm running into some problems. After the drop, I try to make a loop with single zone force, and I can't get the track to curve up! I've changed the parameters and everything, it just isn't happening... EDIT: Okay, I'm messing around with the normal force, and if I change it to a sextic transition, it points upward, but the loop doesn't take shape if I increase the time...

Actually, I'm having a problem saving Newton tracks for later. If I save the element, It saves as a NLELEM file, but when I try to open, the file doesn't show up. I'm confused on this one...

I haven't really given myself enough time to get acclimated to the program. I have those tutorials handy. They are helping I'm getting the feel of the program and how the transitions work and stuff, I just need to get past the learning curve and start to master it.

^ No don't need it done fast at all. I guess I could try to do the whole ride in Newton2... I'll give it try.

Does anyone know how I can smooth out the transitions between elements? i'm making a half-newton ride with the main elements Newton-ed. Between the elements, there is an incredible bump. Anyway to fix this? I've included the track file for anyone who wants to take a look. Sterling-The ride.nltrack

Hostel. I had nightmares for a week after that one.

^ I enjoyed the floorless coaster I rode... I didn't think it was gimmicky at all. Nor the stand-ups. Gravity Max, now THAT is a gimmick...

You just opened up a realm of memories for me I was there 4 years ago, I'm just reminiscing on the fun times I had. Me and my brother rode every ride that was open. Anyway, X2 looks very good in its new paint. I'm looking forward to the rest of the pictures

Haha, pretty much the same here. I'm fine with swiss cheese but things like when something is overly bumpy (can't look at an extremely acne filled face) I just cringe and want to scratch it until it is smooth. Also... I can't look at a potato when they start sprouting the little twigs... I cringed in fear and started shaking just typing that sentence. If I see one I run away super fast and start jumping around. Its that horrible
