The "Preview" Thread

Thanks! This thread is turning into the Intamin Super Pack, haha! 100% custom, 100% track. -
[NL] Dive Machine
Parallax replied to Gigalyte's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I like the first half. A lot. The corkscrews don't seem realistic for a Dive Machine. If you had a MCBR after the immelmann and then a 2nd half similar to Griffon or SheiKra I think it would be amazing. -

No need to worry, this one comes in generic! The Green Lantern theming is for a park. -

I would love if you could buy test seats. -
The "Preview" Thread

The Megacoaster is different though, all of the Mega Coasters have the same train so a recolorable one would make sense. Kingda Ka and TTD both have custom designed trains so there is no "generic" version to make recolorable. Another thing to take into consideration is how long it takes to import these. Think about it, every texture needs to be put into its own group, bones have to be added, and then everything has to be pieced together in the importer. We are already doing that 12 times each for Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster. That is 24 imports for two different CTRs due to all of the variants of each one that will be possible. When we get to the Blitz V2 CTR, that one can be put on the Custom Track so that there can be a generic version to use. We haven't gotten to that yet though. -

There is a difference. If I am recreating Kingda Ka, I am making Kingda Ka trains the way that they look in real life. This CTR is part of a Strata Coaster CT set. It will have a Kingda Ka CTR and a Top Thrill Dragster CTR. There isn't a point in removing the decals because it won't be recolorable. It can't be recolorable because it uses 5 different colors and RCT3 only allows 3. -

So the cars will all have Kingda Ka decals on them? Bad idea imo. I agree. Even if they aren't re-colorable, you really should do a few without the decals on the side. Also, a consistency issue - the long portion of the restraint that extends from the side of the headrest and wraps around should be placed to the inside of the car, not the outside. You have it correct on the left side of the car (right side in the picture). Like this. Yea, the cars will only have Kingda Ka decals on them. Why would they need to be generic? Kingda Ka is the only coaster in the world to use those trains. The restraints are supposed to be like that, I never noticed that they weren't flipped. -

For those who are wondering about the CTR, it will come in each of the 4 colors of Kingda Ka's trains. -

Go Big or Go Home... -
I lost my iPhone on nitro around 9:00am. At 11:00am, I went to the lost and found to file an official claim and they had already found it. They have a dedicated "picking team" that walks the ride paths and collects all lost items. I was seriously impressed that they already had found it. You should contact the lost and found department in person( because you will have to identify something original/specific about your item) as they probably have your iPod . Lost and Found is located on the far north side of main street, closest to Nitro. I believe their operating hours are park open to 5:00pm. Thanks so much for the info. I actually saw someone walking around picking stuff up as I went through the MCBR on Nitro (same ride I lost my iPod on). Hope I can get to the park! I live 1.5 hours away, but if I convince my family to get the 2013 season pass we can get in free for the rest of 2012 so it won't be that big of a deal.

So I lost my iPod on Nitro a few days ago. When I went to the Lost & Found they were closed but they gave me a number to call. I've called every day and nobody answers. Does anyone know if there are certain times when they are open? It seems odd but maybe they have certain hours. Also, if by some reason they do have it (I think it fell out of my pocket when I was getting out of the seat, not during the ride) would I have to go to the park to get it back? Thanks in advance.

Some CS I made for a park recreation... I'm going to need some CT for the coasters, I only used the in game track to show roughly how it will look. -
Unusual ride accidents

I put my arms up on Kingda Ka and I have never had a problem with it. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
Parallax replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
RollerSoaker had an absolutely horrible capacity, but it was a pretty fun ride. I went on it every time I went to Hershey just because I was with a group of family so we could chat on line. We always got lucky with a wait starting in the station, but that was still nearly 30 minutes. I think it would be cool if they replaced it with a ride like Divertical, but I'm not sure if they would do that since they already have Tidal Force. I do think it would be a cool addition though. -
Favorite roller coaster?

El Toro. Do I need to post a reason? -

I have been told that each of the keyholes will have Dippin Dots waterfalls that you will fly through on the ride. Discuss. -

That is going to be the best part of the ride. I wonder how that will work with 3 train operation, but I'm sure CP knows what they are doing.
