Retro PTR: Amusement Park Vacations from the '70s!
mcjaco replied to larrygator's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I thought Larry was dressed as Gus. -
Stumbled across this article this afternoon. Anything that starts with BonBonLand and mentions the Dog Fart coaster must kid of know what they're talking about, right? A silly, but decent article! World's Wackiest Theme Parks

Six Flags Virginia(RCT2) NO CS
mcjaco replied to the ghost's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
ghost, that last attempt is getting better. We really need to see the whole coaster though. In my opinion, you seem to just build buildings without much thought on their purpose. Stations are typically pretty spartan, usually some posts, a half wall, and a roof, unless you're trying to theme them. Go through the Park Index and trip reports to get some ideas. I also think the best way to plan a park, is to actually plan the park. Lay out what you want in the park, what's it's themed areas are going to be, and how the midways are going to flow. Then start building off the midways. I will actually sketch a quick path layout, and draw some generic areas, off them to give me an idea of where the themed areas will go, and how they can flow, or if they flow. When I build a park, I typically build the midway through the entire park first (or a rough guesstimate of where I want it), then start laying in the support buildings, like Guest Relations, bathrooms, food courts, etc. Then I go to the bigger customizable rides, unless I have a definite idea on how I want it to function with the area. As for BG and Themeparkman25, arguing will not be tolerated. I know I've told one of you to stop posting your 'Criticism" in here if you can't offer anything substantial and positive as well. For every negative there should be a positive, hence constructive criticism. In the end, these are all games, and they're strictly for fun, and entertainment. -
k'nex speed coaster

Please do a search. Simply searching K'nex will pull up a ton of threads. -
I'm glad Joe is working hard today.

This really has been a great project. I went back and whipped through the first 20 pages or so last night. It's a fun read. My only complaint is the use of bloom for some of the pictures. It's just a personal observation, as I don't care for it. Oh, and I wish these were uploaded to TPR, not imageshack, so I could see them at work. What are the specs on your PC? The pics are pretty impressive.

Agreed. It's f'in curling. Matt "are we going to have to ban all sports topics at TPR?" Jacobs

Photos of Shockwave and other defunct coasters
mcjaco replied to Screamin_Eagle's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^ Same. I remember getting so excited over the winter everytime we'd drive past on I94. It just looked so monstrous and mean. I think I have a fetish for blue and white coasters. Shockwave and Z Force hold a very special place in my SFGAm heart. -
As of yesterday, she said she will. Yummy!

SFGAm has Shockwave and The Demon. Totally agree on Iron Wolf. It's worth more in recycled material now. -
Temperature and light effect beer the most. Is it in a bottle or a can? My Mom's had beer in her basement fridge for ten years, and si still tastes ok. For Miller Lite!
