Superman photo update and onride video.
TheStig replied to rabid disney's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Humm I was expecting it to be longer, but I'm not dissapointed at all! It looks like one of the best rockit coasters built so far, and the only one thats really heavily themed. Hopefully I can ride it some day... Colin C -
Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
TheStig replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt Xcelerator and TTD the only rocket coasters with lap bars? I think maybe this is because they were the first two ever built, and thus were still in proto type stage. Maybe Intamin will follow Primier and put lap bars on the trains in the future. Colin C -
Your coaster 2005 season highlights
TheStig replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Why is that sign bad? The DJV at SFGAm is way better than the one at SFOG and I rode both this season. DJV is really a great ride.. Also I forgot to post my first and last coaster of the season: First: Montu-BGT Last: It's not over yet for me! But currently, Montu-BGT. Colin C -

Your coaster 2005 season highlights
TheStig replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oh geeze where to start: I got to watch a coaster (SheiKra) be constructed over time in person I went to coaster con and got 30 some odd credits (SFGAm, MO, TFAP, PKI, LAMA) I rode my first B&M hyper (Raging Bull) I rode my first invertigo (face off) I rode Hades! I got to CP at the end of the season and rode my first giant frisbee (delerium was closed at PKI) I met a bunch of cool people from TPR (Im in the whit shirt in the picture of figment) I rode the Whizzer!!!! I can think of more, but not right now -

^^^Well, we do get to wear BDU's on Fridays if your on Raiders or in CAP (I'm in CAP, yes I know I'm a blueberry). But I'm on the drill team (exibition hooah!) and the school pretty much kicks ass. I'm supposed to get promoted to Private once we get back from break, and PFC shortly after. Colin C

^^Well it's good to see someone serving our country on this website. I go to military school myself (I get to wear Class B's every day!) and enjoy it. My confession, I get motion sickness in airplanes, and I want to be a pilot! Colin C

Okay so yesterday I went to go purchase the No Limit's Construction Kit from Gravimetricstudios.com and come to find out that it's ben dis-continued. I was really looking forward to buying this, but unfortunatially the guy who makes it has been too busy or something like that. So, does anybody have this program, and was it really worth buying? And also, is anyone dissapointed that it's been dis-continued, because it seemed like a helpful tool? Colin C

2 odd coasters in Thailand....
TheStig replied to Canobie Fan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow those things are messed up! I think that mini STE's tower is leaning to the right more than it should (not like it SHOULD lean in any direction). It also looks like the car's on both trains are pretty close to the same (except for the wheel assemblies). But yeah I would ABSOLUTLEY ride that mini STE, though I might crap my pants because of the lack of everything on the train! Colin C -

To be quite honest, I rode American Eagle for the first time this summer and the first drop scared the CRAP out of me! We were riding backwards (blue train I think) and I didn't know that it had so much air, and when it would stop! I loved the ride, but was just a little suprised! Another time was my first ride on TTD, I was 13, it was opening season, and it rolled back all the time. Needless to say, I started freaking out at the pre launch break thing. Another factor is I had been out of coasters for about 3 years, and haden't been to CP sence MF opened. Still, I had a good time Colin C

Pick N Mix Video #1 Contest Top 20!
TheStig replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well a few things about my video: 1). I chose "bounce" by System of a down because of the song's tune you could say. Here is why I though it would fit good in this video: It's really peppy and fast in the first part (like the first drop of a roller coaster) then slows down a bit in the middle (like a MCBR in a way) then picks up again for the last couple seconds (like after the MCBR) 2). I used the backround audio for many, MANY reasons! First, I always want to make the viewer feel as though they are in the park/on the ride/ watching the ride and by adding the actuial sound, it makes it more beleaveable. Also, if your at a theme park all you hear are people screaming and having fun, once again I added the sound to make you feel like your at the park. Also, the whirr of a rollercoaster (especially and Intamin) is, well, damn sexy! So it also adds a more "on ride" feel to it. 3). I'll admit, I did another video that was pretty good to "barroom hero" by the Dropkick Murpheys but it was too long. So that pretty much does it. So yeah I hope you enjoyed it! Colin C -

^Thanks! Funny thing is, I did all that with WMM. I have pinnacle 9, but for some reason it would freeze up and only audio would play so I couldent get a good video. But some of my other videos are better... Colin C -

Did anybody find my video remotely good? I know it's more of a music video type thing, but still did anyone like it? Colin C -
Something odd regarding AAT
TheStig replied to TheStig's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Erik, man how did we not run into each other?!?! It was dead the whole day! Maybe next time though, which will be over winter break for me. As for AAT, I don't think that the sign was left over from HOS. I went up about 3 weeks ago and there was no sign there. I wish they would put in a drop tower of some sort in it's place as it COULD fit, but with the Clydsdale (sp?) exibit attached to the same building, it doesnt seem reasonable. Oh well, we shal wait and see. Colin C -
