The "Preview" Thread
Kraken & Manta replied to DBru's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Mike, may I suggest trees? Anyway, it's what is finished that counts, and the finished is an amazing park! Reviar: Awesome, twisty layout! Quick questions, what color is better brown or white? And which support style for the tower is better, Gold's normal supports or Silver's Cheetah Hunt inspired supports? SCR2.0.BMP -
Erik & Smisty's Florida Oddventures
Kraken & Manta replied to Electerik's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
First off, unless we have some marine biologists on the forum, I don't think any of us are qualified to say how much room an Orca needs to live in order to be "comfortable." Secondly, it doesn't look that much different in size overall compared to the one at Sea World where they keep Shamu, keeping in mind they normally have more than one Orca in the Shamu tanks. In fact, I'd say the one at Seaqauarium looks BIGGER considering the Sea World one appears to be separated into three separate tanks, and the Seaquarium tank looks to be just one. Actually, I believe the scale you have of the two stadiums is different. Miami Seaquarium's stadium is about 70 ft at it's longest an 80 ft at it's widest, while SeaWorld's back pool alone (the one where Dine With Shamu is) is about 70 ft long and 120 ft wide. -

TPR Monthly Micros [RCT2]

I'll sign up for February. -
Thanks, that limit is very fair Forgot to mention that I'm in. Also, two other questions. Before/after the lift can we have some block sections to add more trains? And also could we have a entry station at the top of the bobsled and an exit station at the bottom? Sorry if I'm asking to many questions

I must say that Big Bad Wolf was a great coaster. Although, I was sad to see it leave, I still think BGW is the best park I've ever been to, and Apollo, Griffon, and Alpengeist are all amazing coasters. Honestly I'd rather see BBW leave than any of those three, and I'm happy I got the chance to ride it again before it closed last year. Actually, I think a larger reason for the ride's removal was the lack of parts. With Arrow going out of business there was no longer parts for the ride in production BBW was bound to close eventually. The idea of creating a new ride and attracting more people by replacing a ride that would be very expensive to maintain is quite good.

Adventure Beach [RCT2]

Mike: Thanks! I must say before I added the trees the ride felt rather lacking... but with them it felt complete. Just shows how much some foliage helps djbrcace: Thanks! And nice little hack on the station! After (another....) long period without an update, I finally finished the park's next addition. 1986 With the park's huge attendance rise from the addition of Hurricane and the river rapids. So this year they tried to build a new coaster that would out-do ever other ride in the park. After seeing the success of Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens: The Old Country, the park decided to hire Arrow Dynamics to build a terrain suspended coaster for them too. Although being in Florida, there was no terrain. So building of the hills and lakes in itself took a year. The finished product was quite good. SCR5.BMP Here it is! The current largest suspended coaster in the world! SCR6.BMP Besides just the ride there is a small, winter themed village that sells hot chocolate, cookies, and other wintery things. SCR7.BMP The beginning of the ride has slow turns before the lift. Also you can see the walkway to the ride, and the maintenance building, that has one of the three trains in it. SCR8.BMP It's a terrain coaster, so it reacts to the terrain. SCR9.BMP Besides just trees, the coaster has some near misses with buildings, water, and rocks! SCR10.BMP The ride's final is a series of fast paced turns through dense forest and several turns near water. SCR11.BMP And here's an overview of the park. Still plenty of room, but what's next? I don't know... Hope you enjoyed the update!!! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!! -
