  1. Here's mine. I tried to go outside of Castle themeing but staying within medieval, replacing all but the entry way's and the Beemer's (which I rebuilt, inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle) castles with a village (Shuttle Loop), forest (GCI), and a not hugely themed, but green garden (flats and the log flume).

     

    Hope you all like it!

  3. Thanks everyone! With the ideas and critisim, I think I found something that works! Keep em' coming!

     

    Yes, it isnt looking too good off the ground. Maybe make a tunnel and have it launch upward into the airtime hills there.

    I like this idea

    For comparison, the old trim and second launch, which was basically and odd really high bridge.

    SCR2.BMP

    And the new launch, which is within the old tunnels the segment after the old launch dropped into. The coaster now has a small bunny hill in place of the hill the old launch was on, the bunny hill ends with the track going into a cave on the side of the canyon, where it there launches.

    I've worked on the twist track area a bit, adding an arch, lake, and small waterfall.

    Ride viewing area, that silver rushes under

  4. Seeing Rockin' America has a black hole and Commerson's Island's work it temporarily done, I figured it would be a perfect time to make a thread for this... so I did

     

    Gold & Silver : Racers of the West

     

    Basically the ride is a dueling, terrain following, wild west themed, Intamin Blitz. More so or less so a combination of Maverick and Cheetah Hunt. The design's terrain is intended to have the feel of the American Mid West, with a dessert, arches, and huge canyon running through the center of the map. The coasters themselves have two launches on each track, one that launches into a tower, and one that launches into a drop. Zero inversions, four caves, several trench runs, and a' whole lot of twistin' goin' on!

     

    Hope you like, critism welcomed and encouraged!

    One of the ride's focal points is this high five element located on a bridge over a canyon

    Silver's station

    This picture is mostly unfinished, but it shows the cat walks on the ride thus a cave

    A train bridge, that isn't finished (Well, its finished for me, but not for the park's story)

    And to close this post: an overview

  5. This thread is so awesome, being able to view the history of theme parks through the inventor's eyes is simply amazing. Thanks RD so much for this thread!

     

    About this update, Harry G. Traver is my greatest hero when it comes to theme park ingenuity. Although I've seen the Cyclone patent, I've never seen the patent for Zip, nor the Flying Turns which were also a great invention, and again, it's so awesome to look through them.

    Can't wait for next week's update! It's sure to be amazing, same as all before!

  6. I kinda like Georgia Cyclone, I found it to be a really fun ride with great air-time. Sure it wasn't the smoothest ride in the world, but it wasn't really bad at all.

     

    Regarding steel coasters, although it's not really hated, just not regarded as anything special, I find WDW's Thunder Mountain a fun ride. Of course no super intense air-time machine, but still a ride that's just really fun to ride.

  7. It may not be my number one favorite song, but Eagle's "The Last Resort" really has amazingly crafted lyrics and overall meaning woven into the song. Creating a very solid, meaningful, work of art.

    "The Last Resort"

     

    She came from Providence,

    the one in Rhode Island

    Where the old world shadows hang

    heavy in the air

    She packed her hopes and dreams

    like a refugee

    Just as her father came across the sea

     

    She heard about a place people were smilin'

    They spoke about the red man's way,

    and how they loved the land

    And they came from everywhere

    to the Great Divide

    Seeking a place to stand

    or a place to hide

     

    Down in the crowded bars,

    out for a good time,

    Can't wait to tell you all,

    what it's like up there

    And they called it paradise

    I don't know why

    Somebody laid the mountains low

    while the town got high

     

    Then the chilly winds blew down

    Across the desert

    through the canyons of the coast, to

    the Malibu

    Where the pretty people play,

    hungry for power

    to light their neon way

    and give them things to do

     

    Some rich men came and raped the land,

    Nobody caught 'em

    Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,

    people bought 'em

    And they called it paradise

    The place to be

    They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

     

    You can leave it all behind

    and sail to Lahaina

    just like the missionaries did, so many years ago

    They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"

    Brought the white man's burden down

    Brought the white man's reign

     

    Who will provide the grand design?

    What is yours and what is mine?

    'Cause there is no more new frontier

    We have got to make it here

     

    We satisfy our endless needs and

    justify our bloody deeds,

    in the name of destiny and the name

    of God

     

    And you can see them there,

    On Sunday morning

    They stand up and sing about

    what it's like up there

    They call it paradise

    I don't know why

    You call someplace paradise,

    kiss it goodbye
