It's a possiblilty, but insurance companies don't have that kind of pull. They can't mandate ride height restrictions. As for coverage, it would be one policy for all of Six Flags. I think there's some truth to what we were told at WCB, but it seemed like they were skirting around some other sort of issue they really didn't want to get into, which I think Elissa hit on.

OK, so onto WCB Day 1. Or Six Flag Magic Mountain day. Really, what can I say that hasn't already been said? It rocked. It rocked hard. ERT was sublime, and even though a certain coaster would continue to elude me, we were promised that it wasn't going anywhere. I breathed a great sigh of relief! That Ninja is one sneaky little coaster.....hmmm, aptly named, says I! Terminator Salvation was the highlight of the day. I've only been on one other GCI (Valleyfair's Renegade), and I love them both. I know they aren't the "best" according to many, but I'll ride these two woodies any day. All in all, it was just an awesome way to start the event. Helping out in the T-shirt line was great fun, and it was great to finally see so many recognizable faces in person. This is why TPR kicks ass. On to the pics! What? You'd expect something different to start this portion? Nerd. Nerds. The vigilante T-shirt crew. Jeff had us running like a Swiss watch......unless I had to count shirts. ClubTPR is a go! Piers reels in potential members with his shyness. Packet Pickup crew. Bob is the evil one on the right. If this photo was a little more to the left we'd all be getting more than a shirt from Cameron. The crowd rolls in. Have fun storming the park! First up, Viper. I did not make me miss Shockwave. A spread only an ACEr would love. Hey Cam, can you hold my camera while I go pee? Artsy. Or phallic? I saw the pre-show. Lawn Ornament of Unusual Size. Here we see Bob perfecting his "this be dirt" point. What do you mean they didn't see the pre-show? Artsy..... Fartsy. Chuck, you have no idea how Peligro Extremo you really are. Who the hell came up with this idea? And it better be worth it. Superman crotch. We're not a bright group. We walk up the mountain, and take the funicular down..... Solitaire anyone? Nerd herd! Where shall we go next? I believe it's time for some A/C and management grilling! Herds of nerds! Yay management! Yay Robb! While waiting for dinner Chuck pondered many things. Such as, why does this tree look so sickly. Or the benefits of oxygen? Screw it. Let's just have cake. Then it was off to the backstage tour of X2 Where I caught more nerds in their natural habitat. And finally, this is what SFMM looks like at 11:58PM. Off to Knott's! -
Yeah, so I'm a little late on this, being that West Coast Bash was almost a month ago already. Actually, I'm total attention whore and really just wanted to wait until all the hoopla passed so I could steal the spotlight. And my PTR could shine! Who am I kidding, you've seen these all before......or have you. Mu hahahahahaha! Way back in 2009 (a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away), I decided that I was going to make my first venture out to West Coast Bash. I missed my annual Disney lovefest trip in October, and decided it was time to go back and visit Disneyland and hit up some of the attractions I always tend to skip over. Then it would be off to Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Knott's Berry Farm for WCB. I had credits that I'd missed on my previous trip to SFMM in 2007 (I'm looking at you Ninja), and had never been to Knott's. I just had to see what all the fuss was about. Would Knott's be as bad as everyone says? Would WCB be as awesome as it's been reported? How would WCB be with two days planned? Would Piers be shy? Tune in and find out. First, we're off to day one, where Jojo19799 and I take flight from Milwaukee, and meet Chuck and Renee at fabulous LAX and a quick day trip to DLR! All trips, and all airports should begin with a Recombobulation area. Milwaukee's General Mitchell Field for the win! After a four hour flight with a non reclining seat, this was welcome! Check out our uterus! We start our adventure here. Because, well....it's called California Adventure. I had not seen this sun, or the hot molten ball of fire in the sky for weeks. That's Chicago in the winter. Even this was a welcome sight! Oh dear sir, where are we off too??? Why to the Tortilla Factory for food, my good man. Which can only be washed down with the finest of beverages. Finest, refers to of course, beer! I like trains. It all started with Walt getting screwed out of a rabbit, and coming up with a slight variation of that rabbit, to make it look like a mouse. Poopy tower. Cows. Screamin'. It's not Rockin'. Thank god. Artsy. I love Disney theming. So pretty. Small train station. I squish your head. Nerd. Nerd photographing nerd. Hey Chuck, who are we waiting for? Someone important? Like a Premium Pass holder????? Castle joke in 5,4,3,2,1..... Also not Rockin'. All is good. Fartsy. One more ride before a late night drive. Chris says, "More to come! I'm so fancy!"

For one, Two, I echo what everyone else is saying. Slow down, and think. Not only in creating a park (or an NL coaster), but before you post. -

Precisely why uploading them to TPR is always the best option. -

ScooterGuy STOP double posting. And it's very easy to do research on RnRC. It's called Google. Try it. -

TPR Downloading
mcjaco replied to nln00b's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Yeah, I've been alerted to that already. I'm looking into it, but not sure why it's doing it. Eventually we'll roll out the Game Forum database where game files can be uploaded, ranked, pics shown, etc for everyone. Which is why it's really helpful for EVERYONE to add the [***] in thread titles so I can find stuff easier when we make the move. -

No idea. I don't have NL or a Mac. If anyone else has this issue with TPR, please let us know. -

Amen, Ed. This is really quite pointless. Locking to prevent flamage. -
At the bottom of the Post section there's "Add an attachment," click Browse, add your picture. Just resize all of them to 800x600 first!

You get a good dose of that, along with plenty of other southern rock, while you wait. Well then, it's all good!
