Maybe I am naive, but i saw nothing wrong with it. Much smoother than most rides you see at a park! Not to mention, if everything was perfectly smooth, you'd lack the realism. So my hats off to you. I wish I were as good as you.

It is definitely important to know what makes you happy. I've disclosed to a couple at work that I am gay, and they have been so cool about it. No one was able to tell which was funny to me cuz it took everyone by shock whenIi told them. Cyrus

UPDATE: I feel as though I need to let everyone who has been following this know what the latest is! The park has been moved from Indianapolis, IN to Bakersfield, CA. There will be an entirely new park layout, all new rides, and hopefully a new site for everything. The project is on a slight hold, but that should be ending here pretty soon. I have been able to take note of some brainstorming and draw out some possible designs. I would like to post some of the conceptual stuff in the topic here today or tomorrow after I've got a bit more completed. Today I am taking all of the models to a warehouse where I will have plentiful room to build, expand, and make this park the best that it can be. For future updates I will do my best to provide detailed information and photographs outlining the Production of X-Site International Model Amusement Park! Some of what is coming should definitely impress readers as well! Enjoy! Cyrus

This is looking very cool already! Ill be following this! best of luck! Cyrus

Oh wow! You have so many! I can tell you right now that There are a few items that I would do just about anything for. Viewing Tower Jungle Train Jupiter Mammoth Cave Ghost Train INDIAGO (absolutely. Been looking for this!) Big Dipper (possibly) Undulation I am definitely in need of props, people, and lights. foliage as well! basically, anything you are looking to/willing to get rid of, even if not listed, i will take. The park could definitely use it. Thanks again! Cyrus

haha. alright. im excited to hear what you have! Cyrus

Oh that would be amazing. The park is currently 32 square feet. It has plans for definite expansion In the near future. What rides do you have and what would you be considering to donate? I figured all donations would get signage explaining they were a donation, the date, and by who. They are a lot of fun to build, no lie. Let me know when you start on them and which ones you are going to be doing! Cyrus

you guys are awesome. I've got another update tonight. ONE last ride before i really get going on the Park's final details! I think that as far as the Wild Maus goes. Try out the older one then buy the newer one. OR, sell the old one and go for the newer one. I do think that investing in the new one is worth it. BTW... if you.. ya know... want to sponsor X-Cite International by donating any unwanted model rides you think the park could use... I think you should. haha. just me tho. haha Cyrus

I wasn't even thinking about divorce when I was writing that. haha. I guess those were my views aside from divorce. lol. Gotta say... COMPLETELY AGREE. haha If people have a problem with same sex relationships... don't get with someone of the same sex. hahaha. its that simple. The biggest threat to Marriage isn't homosexuality... it IS divorce. I quote Wanda Sykes on both those last statements... but they are so true and I vouch 110% for them. Cyrus

ey guys. I've got a nice little update for you! There was a train show here over the weekend... so naturally... had to go! lol. Found some AMAZING deals... blew all my money. haha For this update, please keep in mind... X-Cite International is in the planning and landscaping faze. The ground area will not look like this in the end. Also, where painting is needed, I will be painting soon. Welcome to the park! this is X-Site's main entrance. This is Plaza Ln, the park's entry/shopping area; not to mention food! The right side: Left Side: Some shops and Bumper Cars: Next to the Concession booths is the Top Spin! Moving on, The park's Arcade: More toward the back, We will have the Ferris Wheel, Go Kartz, Mini Golf, and Comet: The Park's current signature coaster is the Wild Mouse: Tiki Falls will operate only during warmer months, but the ride will look plenty impressive year round: There will be more soon. Suggestions welcome as I have not yet broken ground on any of the scenery or pathways yet. I'd actually love some ideas =]

As far as my comment is concerned before, Sasquatch, you understood what I was saying from the get go, to the T. It just seems like it would go around all of the arguments had before. There would be no reason why people couldn't live with that... unless they are just bigots lol. To each his own I suppose. lol And if it really is a big deal to get married... hey, if you can't beat 'em; Join 'em. LET'S GO TO CANADA! haha. It's better there anyways. They have better benefits all together. My canadian friends all seem happier. Not to mention... you can drink at 18 there.. I think? haha Cyrus

ha ha! A personals page; That's hilarious!!! I have to say.. over time.. my views have changed a bit. I am gay and always will be, however.. I don't support gay marriage. I know.. crazy, right? Well, let me just explain my views... I think that, as a Catholic, Marriage is a sacrament for a man and a woman. HOWEVER, no one ever said that a same sex couple can't have their own sacrament with a different name. In fact, it might be better that way. the same benefits of marriage, the same rights, just under a different name. Besides, the world needs same sex couples to be bound in a promise. there are too many children that need homes for there not to be ample couples to take on those kids. Cyrus

Hey guys! thanks for the feedback. First, This is the 20th anniversary edition of the model, so it came in the colors. Second; The lift. There is a motor that turns the chain. the chain is very small, it looks similar to the chains you'd find on dog tags(guys necklaces). the chain is magnetized. There is a small magnet on the bottom of each car that makes contact with the chain. at the top, there is a bar that forces the magnets to break apart and lets the train free. They can cost anywhere from 175 to 300 depending where you find them! If you find one, make sure its the new version(20th anniversary) so you get one that will work. Flipdude, i agree!!! I so wish that these could be custom built!! the way it is built now though actually allows it to reach a PERFECT slow speed going through the station back around to the lift!

Ok, thanks for unlocking. Quick update that is already under way! The new layout will look like this! -OPENING DATE speculations are set to be January 2nd 2010! let's hope this can all be pulled together as I'd like to have it ready to be put on display at the Great Train Expo in Indianapolis at the Fairgrounds the 2nd and 3rd! This is the new layout. All the grass, mountains, and plaster cloth have been removed already! Cyrus

OK Guys, Picking up where we left off! The Final Wilde Maus Construction pictures. Including: -Fencing -Line -Ticket & Photo booths Enjoy! -As you can see here, The Fence went up pretty fast! I delayed the entire front construction until just recently as I wanted to be sure all the rides were running and clean looking, not to mention completed, by opening! -Here you can see the Line and front buildings for the coaster are shaping up nicely! These fences are not too easy to work with, so I am proud of myself for having patience with them! lol -And the final staircase has been assembled and dropped into place. -Can't forget the cars! -Wheel Assembly -Testing has already began -Now, train 3 is having some problems making it through, as of now, there will only be a two car operation on this particular coaster. Hope you enjoyed the update! -Cyrus

As much as I love roller coasters, I am scared of heights like this. Going off the edge of a building... idk. my honest to God reaction would probably be to cry... knowing it'd be safe, yet still going through with it. I'd be trembling! That is an insane idea! Very cool... not at all for the faint of heart. I've gotten anxious just thinking about doing X-Scream or Insanity before. yikes! Cyrus

Hey Guys. Today I will be doing some work on the park! I'll be posting pictures of the construction updates I have later on today. Cyrus MOD EDIT: Links removed

Ok, I have an update! Sorry it took so long! Here are two NEW links that will help everyone follow the project in a more organized fashion! lol & Check 'em out and enjoy.... I do ask that if you visit them, add them if you can because I'd like to keep track of who has visited! Thanks! Cyrus MOD EDIT: Links removed.

House used to be my favorite show. Once the cast got switched around I started watching less and less. I am sad I missed out on this episode. That is a great accomplishment their product got exposure in the show!

Well, I come baring an announcement. There will be an update within the next few days for the new section! Adventure. Now, this won't be your typical Adventure themed land. Some of the rides and coasters introduced will be: X-DR FearFaller Intamin Drop Tower MM-2DR Stay Tuned... Cyrus

Well... Here is a rather large update for this morning. Some big changes and additions have been made. First and foremost, the entrance has been made into more of a grand entrance. And, introducing the parks newest section, the wild west. The section is still awaiting a name, but This is what I have right now. There should be expansions in the future. The pictures of the coaster were taken before the rest of the area had been started/completed. Introducing 'Thunder'! Featuring station fly over, fly under, and fly through! Here is an updated shot of the park from over top... thanks for checking! Cyrus

Well, I have got an update for everyone! As seen on hussrides.com, Challenge Family Thrill Park would like to proudly present.. Land of Giants! This 4.6 area of land includes rides such as the Topple Tower, Jump2, Giant Frisbee, and Top Spin. Located directly behind the Parks entrance Plaza, this new area is definitely for the older crowd looking for a thrill. Lit up at night, it is very impressive looking as you can see for yourself in this aerial shot. A decent skyline has began to form... I know, I know... short update. I can guarantee though, the next few will be pretty decent! Rumors are... this park is getting some rides NOT YET SEEN on TPR!! (as far as I know I have not seen them) Any thoughts on what might be coming? -Cyrus

Thank you for the feedback! As I progress, Different rides will have different theming. I have a nice big update for later today. Should be a good one... of course, that's my opinion. lol. The new section of the park has been placed on an upper level of land as well as the entrance plaza has been much extended to incorporate a grander feel to the welcome =] cyrus

Well, This is a new park I decided to start working on. I am not a very good RCT3 Builder, but I am going to update when I can. I have some screens of the entry way and the kiddie area located at the front of the park.

This looks really good so far. I will definitely download! LOL, I wonder if the download server will crash when it gets released due to all of the downloads! -cyrus
