B&M flying coaster G force
DougMJr replied to kadabrium's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The restraints on a flyer use a vest, which increases the surface area of restraint on body, which will allow the body to be forced into it with slightly greater force than a regular OTSR. But flyers cannot be too forceful as there is still no support for the neck. Flyers have low g-forces because of the position you are in, the ride still needs to be comfortable. -
Why all the screaming, Robb?

^What did he say that was offensive? Am I missing something? I think some people need to grow thicker skin. -

DougMJr replied to douggw's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Actually, it gives him the right to act however he wants... He foots the bill, he puts in the effort, he can run TPR however he wants to. If you start a business you will have that same right. -

DougMJr replied to douggw's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Douggw, I'm a tad disappointed. I hold those who share my first name to a higher standard. I actually haven't found a TPR video I didn't like. I even have a very special place in my heart for the older videos with music. That is how I discovered TPR! The old videos on Robb's Channel are some of my favorites! I feel like the YouTube videos are the first thing people see when they discover TPR, and I think the videos reflect the personality of TPR perfectly! Robb's commentary, visual style, and video production differentiates TPR from all the other POV Channels. If you don't like it, you have options. There are other POV Channels, check 'em out! Or turn down your volume... or put your fingers in your ears and yell "lalalalalalalala!" -
ChrisHanKwansivus Gift Exchange 2012!
DougMJr replied to Brandy524's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My camera is off at the shop, so no pictures. But I just had the opportunity to finally open my gifts! I had been out of town for a week but it was waiting for me at the post office when I got back. To my Secret ChrisHanKwansivus Cringle! Thank you! I love the keyboard USB vacuum and the scarf! Also, the batman glasses will be worn to various raves and the next event I DJ! The nose hair trimmer I will try out, but right now there isn't much "in the cave" so to speak. Haven't tried out the ear buds yet, but they look awesome! And I will solve the "iCube" when I get a chance! Thanks again! -
Adventuredome Discussion Thread
DougMJr replied to gisco's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ah, the Circus Circus... can't say I enjoyed staying there (dated, smelly), but the Adventuredome is pretty awesome. I think they could do a waterpark right...ish. -
Hanno's picture of the day
DougMJr replied to Hhappy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm 30 min away from Marienland and still have not gotten on that ride! Next time it operates I need to get there before it is down forever! -
Very excited for this. I loved RCT3, but every time I try to get back into it I feel a little let down and I just go back to playing NoLimits. Here is what would make the game perfect for me; -Google Sketchup Support -Peeps please! Theme parks are not just about the ride, but the atmosphere and energy of the guests! -Scenarios would be cool, or some form of currency. I like the business side of things, fun IMO. -Import Music via mp3, or have access to my iTunes Library -If you could work out a way to import NoLimits element files, that would be awesome! That way people can decide to get very intricate if they so choose. -Built in Video/Screenshots so people can share via FB or YouTube (free marketing?). -Free updates as new coaster models/ride types are released to market. -"Robb Alvey"/"Elissa Alvey" as Cheat Codes (or just have it do something cool... for example, "Elissa Alvey" Turns your Peep into a shark. "Robb Alvey" makes your peep yell "TWISTY," "TPR" Could give 50 Random Guests TPR T-Shirts)

Intamin, you guys push the envelope when it comes to coasters. Has there ever been a concept or an idea in development that was just "too far." -

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
DougMJr replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I still want this credit, so I guess I need to plan a trip to KI next season before it gets removed in the coming years. -
Why do kiddie coaster credits matter to you?
DougMJr replied to edh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Kiddie coasters? I'm genuinely thrilled by Wacky Worms! -
The Off-Season Survival Thread
DougMJr replied to ernierocker's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My plans for the off season is to ski, hit up Fallsview Indoor Water Park, possibly visit family in Tampa and hit up BGT, go to Toronto a few times, and browse TPR.
