  1. Really? Have YOU ridden either of them? You must not have, because Magnum and MF are actually quite a bit alike. They both have straight drops, both have a kind of "pretzel-ish" turn around, and both have some airtime hills. And they both broke similar height records. The one big difference with those two rides and the CW rides is that between Magnum and MF, Cedar Point built three VERY DIFFERENT RIDES (Mean Streak, Raptor, and Mantis) to help ease the blow of those rides being similar. I put money on it that we would have been having the EXACT same type of conversation had Cedar Point built Millennium Force in 1994. No, actually I've never been on either... It's only my home park and live 45 minutes away and been a season pass holder for the past 12 years... The only thing Magnum and MF have in common is there meant for speed and airtime.. that is it.
  2. Really? Millennium Force and Magnum are nothing alike... Have you ever ridden either? I mean, Cedar Point has built 4 Intamin Rollercoasters in a row... there's nothing wrong with that part. But I really do hope that this coaster is not just a bigger Behemoth. I don't even know if making it more of a twister is really going to change my thoughts. This really has to be something different from BM to get away from Behemoth. If it is 350 feet... I don't really care what the layout is, I'm sure it will be badass, but I do hope for something unique.
  3. Wow, if this truely is a 300+ft BM... truely shocked. I've just read the past 20 pages. And I saw the post about 350ft at 98mph... I'm curious if maybe the coaster will actually hit 100 and be the first non-launched coaster to break 100mph? If that were the case, give me some lap bars (please no OTSR) and I'm all in. I really would not like to see an "tallest inversion".. just a straight foward airtime filled giga please.
  4. It's very odd to see a BM Invert without the little dip (predrop) before the main drop... Now It just looks odd to me.
  5. I am in Intamin Heaven, being my favorite coaster company. Your work is stunning! Is there anywhere I can get all of your previous work?
  6. Just back from a visit to the park. They have alot more done on the main entrance since my last visit. Here's a picture I took of what is done on the main entrance to the park. entrance_1.bmp Fairfield Amusement Park Entrance
  7. Great addition. The midway area around V2, along with the station looks amazing at night. Great job! Keep the goodness coming.
  8. In 2001 Six Flags Great America had 3. Batman, V2, and Deja Vu. I believe when Superman they even considered it a below track coaster for a total of 4. Deja Vu was taken out in 2007 though.
  9. That is actual concept art by Six Flags, that is not RCT3. They used this to announce V2.
  10. No, it was taken from an actual Six Flags press release. Look up V2 on rcdb.com and check the press release.
  11. Does anyone know how to get rid of the platform on flat-rides?
  12. Haha, I knew it! After seeing the last pictures of the location. I was saying, an Impulse Coaster would fit perfectly in there. Nice addition! Gotta love Intamin.
  13. Now that is what I'm talking about.
  14. Fairfield Amusement Park is glad to welcome our new As. CEO to the team, Coupon. I believe Coupon will bring a new dynamic to the team and help bring a bright future to Fairfield Amusement Park.
  15. Obviously alot of you have not riden TTD or KK. After launching 120-128mph in just acouple seconds, the 420-456ft tower really doesn't seem much. The launch is so intense that it makes the hill feel gentle. Not to mention a 150mph launch. I'm sure this coaster still packs a punch going through all the turns. you guys act like they launch you 150mph and trim you to 70mph. Even if it were, the last time I looked, 70mph is hella fast for a rollercoaster. Magnum is still one of my favorite coasters and it "only" does 72mph. I'd love to get a chance to ride this coaster. I mean, look at I305. When it was going full speed, what 94mph? It flew through the turns. I'm sure this coaster is still going atleast 100mph after the first hill. Quit being so picky, this coaster looks amazing and I'm sure that launch is incredible. Just my thoughts...
  16. note: I just noticed a piece of the red border out of place that needs to be deleted, so please overlook it. Does anyone know how to get rid of the entrance and exit? Like to make them invisible or sink them? thunderbird_station2.bmp Thunderbird's Station is almost complete.
  17. My guess would be leaning towards a new family coaster and possible a bigger one aswell. Love the updates, can't wait to see what construction will bring in the next update.
  18. Thanks guys. Yes, like I stated the station is under construction. It is not complete. As for the turn around. I kinda based it off of Thunderhawk @ Dorney. I've never been there so all I could use for reference is rcdb and bing's birds eye view. More updates coming soon. Edit: I've come across acouple coasters by PTC with turning drops. Mr. Twister and Wild Beast. I wouldn't say they are as banked as much as my coaster. I might just take out the upward bank. Or do you think Dinn Corp. would fit better for the coaster? Not that it's a big deal. haha
  19. Some of you may remember me from NE. Acouple years ago I head a timeline park called "Spring Groves". Well I've started another timeline park, I have yet to come up with a name for a park. As of now I've been going with Fairfield Amusement Park. But I plan on updating the park often. There is not much yet, but it's a work in progress. Any feedback would be appreciated. Also, I'd love to hear some ideas of what you'd like to see in the park. Thanks guys! 1970 -11/15- New Amusement Park approved for Fairfield, Pennsylvania to open in 1975. Construction has begun on first rollercoaster "Thunderbird" (Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc.)[Pg. 1] -11/17- Thunderbird's Station is almost completed. [Pg.1] -11/23- Main Entrance Update. [Pg.2] -1971: thunderbird.bmp Thunderbird's main turn-around. thunderbird2.bmp Thunderbird heading back towards station. thunderbird_station.bmp Thunderhawk's Station (Under Construction)
  20. I really hope to see a 4D in the upcomming years. It would seriously be a great addition to your line-up of coasters.
  21. Storm Runner does not have a cobra-roll... you mean the flying snake dive? Also, If you haven't.. I'd fix up Great Bear's drop. You seem to have way way too much straight track before the helix on the first drop. And isn't GB black?(http://www.rcdb.com/468.htm?p=4846) And I I would say with RCT's limitations I would make the supports gray/silver. I know they're a weird color. Seems like a very hard park to build in RCT with all the limitations. It's coming along nicely though other than the few things I've mentioned. Can't wait to see how it looks when it is done. Good luck!
  22. B&M Dive Machines also weren't very popular around this time. I think they started getting more popular with Skeikra and Griffon in the US. Aren't those the only 2 in the US? My bets would go towards an Intamin Impulse coaster. (Superman Ultimate Escape opened in 2000.) It's also getting to the time where Stand-Ups were slowly fading and Floorless models were getting big. But seeing as there is already a Floorless in the park... I wouldn't expect another Hmmm... maybe a 4D coaster for 02' and a Flat for 01'?That'd really turn this park from Amusement to Amazement Park! We will just have to wait and see.
  23. This park has come along nicely. Love all the custom rides, can't wait for a release.
  24. I'm sure most of you have noticed the data files in RCT2 had names like INTGIG (Intamin Giga) and BMStand (B&M Stand-Up). But yea, that would be cool to have company names, doubtful though. I like the idea of using Locomotions multiplayer in RCT4. That would be alot of fun for online and networking. Hopefully we will here something soon about RCT4. Atleast let us know they game has been started. Any news would be good.
