  1. Part 2 After Wild Arctic we headed over to Shamu's Happy Harbor which is quite a well themed kids area The Jazzy Jellies ride Ocean Commotion Rock n Tug Shamu Express Kraken Sky Tower I liked this area of the park We then headed to see the Dolphin SHow at the other side of the park. The finale to the show. After this we went for a ride on Journey to Atlantis It's quite wet. We then did Penguin encounter Then the shark walk through We visited this area called the Dolphin Nursery. Headed back over to Manta for another ride, Rode at the back and was much better Manta A real Manta ray! Went over to ride Kraken 3 times. kraken as seen from the sea lion show. A shot from the sea lion show We saw the pet show Then headed back to Manta for one last ride This parts quite fun We then headed for the exit. Thanks for reading, Next Update will be on Friday, This was my first Trip Report in here so sorry if it's a little bad.
  2. Just now I am in Florida however I am going to do an ongoing Trip report. My first report is from sea world that I visited yesterday. The parks I am visiting are Universal Studios and IOA Busch Gardens Sea World Aquatica Not going to disney this year as we went last year. Any Advice for these parks would be good. ______________ We visited Sea world today for the first time since last time and this time we spent a day at the park, last time we went it was very busy and we got a ride on Manta then left. Today we left early for the park however there was a fire in a hotel which led to going a longer route to the park. We got there to find the park quite busy and Manta already at 35 minutes and Kraken at 20. We got one ride on Manta then went to see Shamu. Here is a ride count for the day then I will let the pictures tell the story. One Ocean with Shamu Shamu Express Didn't ride this last time so needed the credit. The Rock and Tug Journey to Atlantis A good ride with good theming and I liked the coaster section. Kraken-4. Never rode this before and it was great, First ride was quite good then after JTA It had broke down however it reopened after we had came out of the penguin encounter which let to it being walk on so we got 3 more rides and I found the back was the best. Manta-3 This is still a great ride, At the start of the day rode it second row then row four later on and as we were leaving rode in the back, the loop is great and quite intense and the ride is still very smooth. The queue for the ride was great. Also it makes you realize how bad Air is. Sea Lion Show-Worst show out of all of them Dolphin Show- Had quite a good story line and was one of the best shows Dog Show-was ok wouldn't do it again. Wild Arctic Was a good simulator ride similar to Star tours. Photos! The fire we saw from a distance Closer to the fire it wiped out a hotel. The local news teams were there. Seeing the Sky Tower was a good sign. The First View you get when you enter the park is Manta First thing we rode was Manta! No one has ever taken this shot before. Manta on it's lift hill. One of the coolest parts of the ride. More Manta to come later! We Saw Shamu's one Ocean The Stadium The girl introduces the show. The Staff were good at interacting with the audience. I will see Kraken Later.... Back to Shamu! The Tilting Screens were cool After Shamu's Once Ocean we rode Wild Arctic Which is a good simulator ride which has vehicles similar to Star Tours. Spot the Polar Bear! The Lake Part 2 to follow soon....
  3. So is it closed just now then, quite disappointed as I am going on Wednesday
  4. I have started a small side project from a park I started ages ago however Stopped a while a go, decided to go back and add to it today, Do you think it's work continuing. Shot5967.bmp Shot5969.bmp Shot5972.bmp Shot5970.bmp Shot5977.bmp Shot5974.bmp What do you think?
  5. Sorry, I wrote this at a bad time as I wanted to put it up before I go on holiday and I wanted to get it done before then and I had to go out later today to get stuff so I sort of rushed this in order to go out. I will make sure It's better and just now I will edit the post and make sure all the spelling and Grammar is more accurate. Sorry About that. Also, could someone try downloading the park to see if it works alright on other peoples computers as I haven't tested it on anything else yet. Also the CS list was copied directly from the Read-me that I wrote up late last night which is sort of why everything is wrote quite lazy and not spelled right. There is some CS I forgot to add which isn't compulsorily however it is Aceana's Path Cover's and Pavement essentials which I will add to the list however can't add to the read me. Also WJ'S Sky tower set is needed for the sky tower and I forgot about Water world and Donut's Letters Sorry about the lazy ness, I just wanted to get this out of the way sort of as I have been meaning to do this for a while.

  8. I am starting to build a Floorless coaster, can people please give me some feedback on it, Bare in mind that I will custom Support later along with theme. The Ride has 7 Inversions and top speed is 60mph Please let me know about what you think of the layout.
  9. Angry Giant: Thanks, The footers are something I will start to work on and I need to work on the water levels a bit. Sorry for not having an update in a while, I have been busy, Also I have decided to have a download once all the off season work is done as the park is looking quite shabby just now. __________ I came to the park for an off season visit in December and saw that all the Halloween theming had gone. I also saw the new coaster The Buccaneer Made by B&M was nearly finished, They were given a grant for a new coaster so they went ahead this year. Also The park discovered during market research that more people wanted more cafes and food areas so a few have been built. The Wave Swinger has been moved off it's spot however is in the Maintenance area. A new pathway has been made where breakdance once was There is a new coffee shop that sells drinks and snacks They have seats inside and outside The Main purpose of the new path is to prevent Congestion of the path ways in the area and on the bridge Tilt a Whirl was sold Construction of the New coaster has started and it's lift hill is quite big However it's not as big as Wild Things! The Area beside The coaster will have a few kids rides Tree Chopper had it's theming removed Wave Swinger was removed There is quite a lot of room on the maze site to expand The New coaster has changed the Sky line of the park Not Much of a changed in the Pirate area The new coasters trains are in the scrap yard area Along with Track And the Wave Swinger! I am told it's old spot will be an extension to the Bat's Queue The Frog Hoppers seem to have gone. I am told to expect some change over at this area Over spill Queue lines have been added for Flashback as it is normally having queues out of the main queue lines. A small snack bar has been added near Breakdance and the Picnic benches Please Comment!
  10. Thanks, It was desperado I was talking about!
  11. Nice Videos, pretty cool to see them. You wouldn't happen to have a video of the Hypercoaster at that hotel, Povs of it seem quite rare, Can't remember it's name.
  12. Angry Giant: Thanks, I need to work on that . 34: Thanks, I think the peeps might be! Sorry for the lack of updates, as I was away in France. Also I have decided to do a download when work is complete as it would be much easier and the park would look better. _____________-- Anyway, I visited the park for the first time in a few weeks and Haunt was nearly finished now. The work around the smaller lake beside Flashback is also looking very good. The Motocoaster is now fully gone. The park during Haunt Scary? I like this part of the maze This rides great fun! Corkscrew seemed busy Only the station remains from motocoaster The new area where splashdown once was There is a picnic area And a bridge Breakdance was moved here Some benches have been added to Also theres some more water Enterprise wasn't to busy Please comment!
  13. I have 2 questions, Sorry Is it possible to Upload the park file in a folder so that I could add a Read-me and A CTR that I used and Some CS that isn't longer available however Is needed for the park to work Also Can Parks on The Game exchange be downloaded by people who are not members as I post the park on other sites as well and want people from there to be able to download... Thanks, Sorry to bother you (Again)
  14. ^ Thanks, Also I was trying to make it look like the parks fault with Bad Maintenence. Thanks for the comment _____________________ I returned to the park after 2 weeks- and it's the day before Haunt open officially. The park is looking quite good. Breakdance has been removed and replaced with some sort of theming. There are some actors walking around the park. The park has also been granted some money due to them helping the local comuntiy and hotels with more custom at the park. I am told it is over 2 Million as they want the park to invest in a new rollercoaster for thrillseekers Here is the maze at night The Top Spin and it's new theming The Turnstiles Entrace area looking quite red A small bit of theming The Theming thats on Breakdances spot Some theming is on the lake Breakdances queue remains The Wild Thing Shop Never Opened Good thing Wild Thing did thought! Will this stop being the only inverted coaster soon? The Log Flume was busy for this time of year Same can be said for corkscrew and thats on 2 trains! Many people enjoyed it Even the flat rides were busy And The Beast The Park was busy today, If the park has a good October they will break records for attendance and Profit. Unfortunately the park has said I am not allowed to post pictures of Motorbike Adventure until it is fully removed. The ride has been sold along with Tilt A Whirl and Octopus Please Comment to enable me to update tommorow. There will be a park download soon, I will not be posting updates for a week due to being on Holiday as of Sunday.
  15. I have not been to the park in over 2 months now and it's mid september, I have missed a lot including the reopening of Wild Thing and more of the Ship Wreaked area. On the site of the stage a massive Haunt maze has been built, An external company was called in to help as the park wanted the maze to be one of the best mazes and to give the park a good reputation. Here is the Haunt Promotion Picture, This was taken the other night and I am told to expect it around the park in a few days This building was made quite cheaply for haunt and is made of metal but has been covered up quite well, It's basically a large tin shed The maze should look better in the dark I hope, i am told there will be fog and live actors. The curve where Motorbike Adventure crashed has been removed along with most of the theming and trees. The queue has been removed A area of water seems to have been made over by where splashdown once was Splashdown has been testing to make sure everythings ok A Mack Sea storm has been added behind the bridge The Pirate Ship and the lake Some Halloween themed trees have been added This area of the park is always quiet Corkscrew was walk on all day I am told this part of the park may be themed I am told the following things will happen for haunt to make it one of the best haunts -The Tree Chopper will be rethemed for halloween -The Bat may get it's original trains back as they are in the workshop and are halloween themed -The Entrace will be themed will skeletons -Actors will be walking around the park ___________ Some things I have been informed of -The Parks next coaster may be inverted or Floorless -Motorbike adventure may be sold -The Next ride to be removed may be Tilt a Whirl -The Shipwreaked area will open in March next year Please note if there is enought comments/feedback ect there will be an update every day until sunday then I may post a download at the end of the season which will be sunday.
  16. How long does it take to plan a trip? Also do you plan on going on anywhere new in the future? Also I think the "Haters" go a bit far, I have seen a Google group about TPR, It was just quite funny how pathetic some of it was!
  17. Does This splashdown look better with or without the covered lift? With out With Still need to work on the rocks From My park Paradise gardens
  18. It's Been nearly a week since I have been to the park and a lot has happened. I had to rush to the park today after hearing the news that the Motocoaster had Crashed and 4 People have been killed. The park was closed however I was allowed in for photos. On a lighter note A lot of work has happened in the New Shipwrecked area and The Pirate Ship has retured. The Site where Splashdown once was has been filled in along with the path way there, I am told a new Garden may go there. Also the Wild Thing shop is coming along quite well. Firstly here is a cutout I took from the local Newspaper It Gave quite a bit of detail and said the ride made be removed This is a close up of the picture in the newspaper I wanted a better picture of the ride closed so I went on Corkscrews Catwalks for some pictures. As you can see most of the rides logos are gone and the entrance has been fenced over The New Resteraunt has had it's new Glass walls installed for a good view over the lake and of the pirate ship This is where the Pirate Ship Now is, The platform is larger than it was before Spashdown is now complete This bridge looks like the centerpiece for the area This was where splashdown was, it took up quite a bit of space The Area from a distance here is what Wild Things new Shop Looks like Breakdance has been closed a lot lately You can hardly tell that the stage was here now. I am told a haunt maze may go here. I like Pirate Ships entrance. Please Comment
  19. One of My favorites was Blackpools old Alpine Golf, it's been closed since 2009 though however it was pretty fun as it was right under avalache and had quite good theming 2 Pictures of it
  20. 34ilikepie ยป: Hi I think I may plan to change the names later on in the future, For now they will stay the same, Thanks for the comment B.A.B : It may look like it, however it's not, it's the entrance to the area. Thanks for the comment _____________________________ It's Been a while since I have been at the park. Lots have changed, It looks like the new area will be a Shipwrecked Themed Area I think. Rides are starting to be put in place. Also the stage has been removed. I am told there will be no replacement on the old Splashdown site. Heres the Pictures Here is what the old Shop Looks like now partly through demolition The Entrance to the new Area Looks likes some supports for something The Stages Remains, Lots of seats and stuff are in the Scrap yard The Back of the Entrance to the new area A new Lakeside Resteraunt has been Built I wonder if it will affect business at the smaller shops here Looks like Splash Down is being reconstructed here A overview of that area so Far This was Splashdown 5 days ago This is it now Mysterymine was running great today Although The Tumbler seemed slower Time Bombs a hit when it's open which isn't very ofter now I like How it's only Temporarily Closed! Please Comment and Critisize
  21. Wow, This was a great read and very intersting, Did they mention anything about Discovery Island or River Country?
  22. I have decided to do another update tonight due to the lack of updates recently. deathfearsnone: Thanks, My building aren't very good, your better asking in the Rct3 Help thread however all I can say is try and make them intresting and add detail.... ______________ This is some photos from my trip to the park 4 days later. The beast seems popular since the removal of the trim breaks Heres another overview of Corkscrew and Log Flume From above the lake looks huge, It realy is the center piece of the park, Shame some of the views blocked by the Motocoaster Speaking of Motocoaster, It was Fairly Busy I went to the Scrap yard, It seems less cluttered since the mechanics base was moved to the front of the park. A smaller storage building has been built in preparation For the return of Haunt Nights, It seems early however the park want to give the gardens a very good name for events. Props and Scenery have started to be made and bought. I am told the park will open later and rides will be given lots of theming Previously Treetop Twisters Queue was used as a haunt maze, I am not sure if it will be this year thougt This buildings been empty for years, I am told it is being demolished for a new Wild Thing Shop To be built, This works out cheaper than keeping that building. Splashdown Closed How long will this photo still be available for? A small Construction Update Please Comment and Critisize...
  23. Hi, I am going to put one of my old parks up on the game exchange however it contains Custom Tracked rides and Flat rides. Is this still ok to upload?
  24. Tiger01: Thanks, That is something I shall try and do! B.A.B : Thanks! QueerRudie: This is sort of a problem, In one of my old parks I used to upload to the TPR server, which I don't mind doing for the likes of Trip Reports ect however when it came to updating my park it took far to long as I had to resize images one by one and then upload individual which took ages. Now I post my updates on 3 different sites so unfortunately this would not work. I am sorry for my Photobucket bandwidth being used up, I have delete quite a lot of pictures so That should help. _______________ Its been 2 months since I have visited the park and It has changed quite a lot.It's now June. Wild thing has got a new station and work is happening at the back of the park. Splashdown is now closed for some reason I will let the pictures show some of the things happening. I took this from the bridge, It appears that some work is happening around there, I have not been informed of what it is yet I have been told this is the last year of shows due to not enough attendance and high costs The park was quite quiet today however got busier later A quick Wild thing update, The Path way beside wild thing is partialy closed off. The New entrace is on the other side of the ride along with a bigger control room This is the rides Maintance building storing it's 3 trains, It is very big inside and the mechanics offices have been moved into there from the scrap yard area. The ride now can run 3 trains again. Motocoaster has now been put on 2 train operation again Corkscrew and Log Flume running The first of some of the Ariel pictures of the park, This is Mystery Mine A Overview of the Bat A overview from the Right side of the park An Overview from the left side of the park. The path covers didn't show up Please comment and critisize
  25. Are you sure it doesn't mean that not to PUT up for download without their permission, I don't think thats right.
