Eh, you can just look at some of TowersTimes photos if you want some big watermarks. I made them smaller, so hopefully no more complaining. Here's some pictures of Manta from Sunday...

OK, so I finally bought a Nikon over the winter, and I just recently had the opportunity to take it out and use it at parks. The pictures I've taken over the past couple days have been surprisingly good (to me at least) so I figured I'd post some here. I'll try to post some each day, and after this week I'll post new ones that I take. Most of them will probably be from Busch Gardens, as I go there a lot. A lot of the first I post will be from Florida spring break. I'll also post a lot of night photos, I consider them to be my strong suit. I apologize that the quality is not spectacular, I had to resize them to fit the standards. I'll try to figure something out. To start, here are some that I took at Old Town/Fun Spot on Saturday: Windstorm Here's a panorama for all you crazy panorama people Wacky Worm Power Trip

It looks awesome! It definitely has a "Nemesis" vibe to it.

It's gorgeous! Can't wait until they start testing.

^Thank you! It is much appreciated. It's been a while (I've been busy) but I finally made a video for the new model. I made it about 2 weeks ago, but it didn't work properly. After about a week of modifying I got tired of it and redid the entire model (except the drop and first turn). It has a turning drop, a hill/turn that I pretty much completely ripped off of New Texas Giant, oversized corkscrew, and a couple other small hills and turns. The first turn that was heavily inspired by the one on NTAG The oversized corkscrew, similar to the one on Hydra/Gatekeeper/Wild Eagle

Those are beautiful! I remember seeing them on Youtube a while back and just being amazed at them. It's great that you are rebuilding them + building new ones. Can't wait to see some progress! YES. I can not begin to imagine how many people I've told this to on my Youtube channel. It seems like a rather simple thing to understand, but apparently not...

I was planning on going on pass member day, but it turns out I'll be in Raleigh for a robotics competition and won't be back until 11PM on Saturday. I'll probably go Sunday if the weather is not bad.

Could it possibly be a foundation for the ride sign? I imagine the park could install a sign similar to Leviathan's. Does anyone know where the entrance/queue is going to be?

^That's exactly why I included it.

The Sandusky Register posted some very cool pictures on their website that they took on a tour the park gave them. Lots more here: Clicky

Best I could come up with in 5 minutes.

Granted, but your toilet stops working as soon as you eat one. I wish John Lennon had not been shot.

170 views and no thoughts? Anyway, I know I'm not supposed to double post (24hr rule?) but I have made a video + taken some pictures of my new dive coaster model. It has a 90 degree drop (duh), an immelmann, MCBR, and a couple turns at the end. I would have liked for it to have a little extra length at the end, maybe another inversion, but the bad efficiency on the dive train prevented me from doing so. First half of the ride. I really like how the immelmann ended up looking. The end bit. The flat turn was originally an over banked turn, but speed problems forced me to lower it.

Yes. I'm assuming this is what you meant? Has a bird ever pooped on you?

Beatles by a long shot. or ?

I had a thread like this on the old Coasterdynamix forum but it's long gone. So why not start one here?
