Mr Stratosphere

$3.29 in Las Vegas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5igVwiXk-gM Vegas has had its fair share of implosions, and some going out in grand fashion! Castaways (Showboat) was my first job here in Vegas!

Hey friends! I know you've been wanting to know when the next building implosion is going to happen in Las Vegas. Well it's scheduled for 12:01 a.m. On January 13, 2015. The old Debbie Reynolds hotel on Convention Center Drive near The Peppermill Restaurant is slated for demolition! I'm giving you plenty of notice!

Is this your first NoLimits recreation? It's pretty good, better than I can do at this point. There are definitely some things I can see that need changes, but it's a great start. It is not, but it is with suspended coasters, they are a bit tougher to get to swing properly. I did a Millennium Force recreation that I believe is spot on, but this was a bit trickier. Thanks for the feedback!

Looks good! Where can we download track? I haven't made it available yet as I still want to make some changes to the track and ride itself.

Hey everyone, I have embedded my NoLimits 2 re-creation of Ninja at SFMM, please enjoy!! It is not 100% accurate, but I believe it gives a good look and feel of the real ride, transfer table, storage tracks and all!

Hi everyone! I have been building coasters for a long time in NoLimits and NoLimits2, but I haven't shared them before. But I haven't seen a recreation of Ninja at Six Flags Magic Mountain yet anywhere online, so I decided to create one. I have added the YouTube video below, enjoy! Please note that this is not the final product, but a nice look and feel of the ride. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

I am so jealous of them! Bucking list for me is to take a trans-Atlantic sailing, I bet Allure would be a blast for those days at sea!

I think this is a great and effective teaser! I love when parks do things like this, nice to see some creativity!

Speaking of Oasis of the Seas, did you hear that when the ship comes out of refurbishment, it will have Dynamic Dining?

HAHA! I remember that! I'm actually glad that idea didn't pan out, I think it looks hideous!

^ I am super excited about them, will be so great to use this for charging at the pool! Has anyone seen any photos of the actual North Star? I haven't seen any actual photos of the attraction itself yet. I have been keeping an eye on the webcam, but no luck.

Royal Caribbean announced a lot of new technology to be on board of Quantum of the Seas, they are marketing it as "The World's First Smartship" [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

The water challenge has to be my most favorite TPR thing I have ever done. There were just so many laughs even though we were soaked, it is such a fond memory!

Will anyone else be at the SLS Opening this evening?

I'd have to add California Screamin' to this list.

Is it just me, or am I noticing less and less MCBR's on new coasters? This is a very long ride to not have one, so what does that mean to the capacity of the attraction? Or it is that super fast dispatches are a thing of the past? Granted, the lift hill on this ride may be quite fast like the one on Banshee.

I am interested to see the North Star getting installed and it operating. There's a new cutaway that Royal Caribbean posted, but I am interested to what the rest of the "More to Come" blocks on the deck plans pan out to me. I am actually really excited for this ship class!

This photo is just hilarious! My favorite out of the bunch!

And to not forget about Quantum's sister... Anthem of the Seas as of Today from www.meyerwerft.de/en/meyerwerft_de/werft/das_unternehmen/webcam/webcam.jsp Anthem of the Seas Construction Quantum Outfitting.

From Royal Caribbean Blog... www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2014/08/08/quantum-of-the-seas-float-out-delayed-few-days Quantum of the Seas float out delayed for a few days. Royal Caribbean's brand new Quantum of the Seas will have to wait a few days more for its float out from its Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. Quantum of the Seas will now be floated out on August 12, 2014 at 4pm local time. It had previously been scheduled to float out on August 9 but a poor weather forecast forced Meyer Werft to delay. If all goes well, she will begin her thruster and stabilizer tests following the float out.
