  1. ^^ Now that I re-read my post I didn't really make my point clear, which is that disney is just a more family friendly place than IOA. (Or thats at least the way the GP look at it)
  2. I consider IOA my favorite theme park. Last time I went was in November '07 and it was a ghost town, probably because of the date we went. My family doesn't even consider Disney at all on our trip, in fact we spent 3 days in Orlando before a cruise (november) and we just solely spent our time at the Universal parks. I digress. I think the reason for the lowish attendance is because IOA is seen as more of a "Thrill" park than a family place, even though that isn't the case. Most people who go to Disney (Or just Orlando) have younger kids who wouldn't be ready for the B&M awesomeness that resides at IOA.
  3. ^ Haha, that reminds me of last time I went to Elitch's with my friends. I went with 3 friends of 1 who had never rode the Mind Eraser (first time at the park, for that matter). So when we were at the station they started arguing over who could sit with me They all know of my super coaster fanaticism and like sitting with me cause I'm so experienced with coasters The first time rider ended up sitting next to me.
  4. Well I'm gonna have 3 judges, and supports won't be judged much at all, considering we know how hard it is to support wooden coaster
  5. Couldn't that make that lateral G's on the flat spins pretty high? Or does the MCBR barely slow the train at all? (Haven't been on a B&M Invert for a loooong time)
  6. Blackpool looks like a great park! I'm gonna have to go someday. even if just for the Arrow shuttle. Judging by the pictures, the park looks very... modern? I don't really have the word to describe my feeling about it. Annnyyyway, nice photo TR, lots of pictures, which I love
  7. ^ That's the only ride in the park that still gets my heart pumping...
  8. I love waterparks alot, and my "home" waterpark is Water World in Denver. They have a ProSlide Behemoth Bowl, which is incredibly awesome! They have a Half-pipe that is pretty tall, can't remember exactly how high though. And the Screamin' Mimi, which is basically an Alpine coaster with a pool at the bottom. If your lucky you can have your raft skim across the water like a stone thanks TPR
  9. Cedar Point is looking for a new woodie to replace the rough and unpopular Mean Streak, and they've hired you for the job! They want to get started as soon as possible, and want your design in by August 21st for approval. Cedar Fair has put together a list of do's and don'ts for your coaster. Rules 1.

No transport track is allowed, unless used for transporting train from station-lift or brake-station 5. Must operate with at least 2 trains, any length. (E-stop tested) 6. Inversions are allowed. Everything else is up to you! There is no template. Scenery is allowed but it will not add to your score.

  10. Perhaps I'll do one then. I just need to think of a good theme.
  11. Now that I think about it, it might be fun And of course it's summer vacation so I do have a lot of time on my hands... I'll think a little more and maybe I'll do one. Only problem is I have no prize to give
  12. I really wanna join the next contest that pops up...
  13. I had always figured that hitting your face against B&M restraints would be painful. However I didn't think it could happen...
  14. Mind Eraser at Elitch's... Not a bad SLC
  15. Yes, they should be allowed to! I really don't see the problem. Generally when I go to Elitch's, I'm the only one in my group who will ride the Intamin Drop tower. There are almost always 1 seat left open. I could be near the back and ask to take the seat and the employees will let me up. At one time they used to yell "Any single riders" and then you could take the seat. I don't see the problem in this...
  16. I should get the construction kit. I didn't even notice the force values. I should have paid attention to those. This could be a really intense, crazy coaster.
  17. While this looks AWESOME... I'm confused on a few things. 1. How are you getting the train to go 250 MPH? I thought the simulator capped LIM speeds at 126 MPH. 2. How is this going to be survivable? This could be fairly dangerous in those turns. You can't put more 5gs on a rider. Those turns are looking like 8+. I'm anxious to follow this, and see where it goes
  18. I love how your #100 was Flying Coaster That just struck me as REALLY funny for some reason.
