RCT2 question.
coasterdude5 replied to coasterdude5's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
That's what I've been doing but if it gets too crowded, that will really confuse the guests. Thanks for the advice anyway. -

Cedar Point's Next Coaster?
coasterdude5 replied to JayDarkKnight25's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My bets are on a B&M Floorless. If they love breakng height records, why don't they build the tallest looping coaster? -

My coaster website, http://www.coaster101.com. I'm finally done "upgrading" all my services. Any likes or dislikes you have please post them. Oh yeah, I know the forum sucks, that's just a temporary until I find another one. Also, every picture on that site is mine. I took every one of them.

I'd have to say Raging Bull at SfGam. That first drop owns. All the overbanked turns and unexpected turns make for an awesome ride. My second would be Thunderhead at Dollywood. I know it's not the biggest or the fastest but its my favorite woodie and will probably always be. My third would be Wildfire at SDC.It was my first major looper and that first immelman is amazing.

I saw War of the Worlds today and it is so awesome. Film-making and learning special effects is another hobby of mine(after coasters of course ) and movies usually don't freak me out because I know what's going on but this had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I liked it because it didn't have any "boring stuff". The action picks up real fast just how I like it. And it doesn't stop! It actually got me thinking if this could really happen. Not really. I give it 5/5 stars. I highly reccomend it if you like sci-fi or horror movies. Anyone else seen it?

As me being a "bad service" geek I went and typed up this letter and put my "personal" thoughts into it. Think they'll reply? -

Whoa! Awesome TR! I picked up a brochure for BB on the way home from Chicago today and it actually made the park seem nice. HAHA! That makes my home park, Libertlyland, look better than that! I liked the wild mouse pics too! -
Photo TR: Six Flags Great America (6/25/05)
coasterdude5 posted a topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Hey everyone, I'm back from my trip up to Chicago and I've got my first official TR! First I'll just set the scene for Saturday: It was a SATURDAY, it was 90 degrees plus, and it was Latino Fest. I'll let you guess how many people were there. I had to go with my whole family including aunts, uncles, and cousins. So we had to do what everybody wanted to do. So first we all rode Stargate. It's ok but I liked Space Shuttle America. Maybe because half of the seats were broke. Then we waited 20 minutes to ride the Sky Tower. I got some pics there and then we were off to the Whizzer. This year it seemed smooth to me but that might've just been me. I saw like a 14 year old running the thing. But that's a whole other subject that I'll get to later. Then we were off to my favorite coaster at the park: Raging Bull. It was running all three trains that day. That ride tops my list every time. After that I rode Giant Drop. That's my favorite tower ride of all. Then we ate lunch and rode the train. After that our group finally split up with the "weenies going to the waterpark. The rest of us went to the line for Iron Wolf. This was my first stand up and my first major pain headache. It lives up to it's name as being a headbanger. Then we waited 30 minutes to ride the river ride and it was ok. I got soaked. Then we waited 40 minutes for Batman and it was great as usual. Then I got a hit on A Eagle and Demon. Right before going into the Demon's queue, my Dad got a phone call. It was the other group. The wait was 45 minutes just to get into the waterpark. Then as they left that area to go to Carousel plaza, they got trapped under the train bridge. There were so many people waiting to get into the waterpark, leaving the park, entering the park, sitting on benches, that NO ONE could move. People were getting in fights screaming, falling. My 8 YEAR OLD cousin asked politely if he could get by and an ADULT lady started screaming at him. I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. Thankfully there was a cop with his family trying to get out of the waterpark which was also gridlocked started forcing people out of the way. When our family finally got out they and ALOT of other people were at customer relations complaining. Some people called 911 for the police. Overall, the day was packed with long lines. The heat and the fest going on didn't help either. Six Flags needs to hire older, more mature workers. I saw a female security guard about 15 that was trying to handle the crowds. This just isn't going to work especially with the new waterpark. Good- -Most lines fast moving -Deja Vu managed to open for about half the day -Temp cooled off late in the day Bad- -Park can't withstand these crowds. -Hurricane Harbor - Period -Too many people Here are all the pics. American Eagle. My favorite racer. A shot of Iron Wolf. OUCH!!! Demon-An awesome arrow looper. Another shot of this Vekoma Break-Alot Deja Vu. It was open some of the day. Giant Drop. My favorite drop ride. And Another. And Another- Can you see the long line to HH? There's Superman, the ONE coaster that I wanted to ride but ran out of time to Here's a pic from the Sky Tower. -
I was in the car listening to coaster radio on my DJ and I heard one of the guys say this weird name. That sounds just like Sheikra! It was. All along now I've been pronouncing Sheikra : Shee-Kraaaw When it's really SheeKra. I feel so stupid. Anybody else made this mistake?

The Official "TPR In Europe" Ongoing TR Thread.

I went to go get it today at Walmart and it wasn't there! I looked and looked and finally found out where it was. The two workers were unloading the "new things" box and it was at the very bottom. To give everybody a hint at how slow they were going I first was there at 12, came back 30 min. later and they had only put out a few CD's. I said forget, I'll get when I get back from Chicago! So, that's why I don't have Soaked! today.
