My first and only Schwarzkopf yet is the Whizzer at SFGAm.. It was awesome ! Great family coaster ! Wish more parks still had similar coasters...

I'd say... Maverick Millenium Force Blue Streak Raptor Top Thrill Dragster Magnum Xl-200 Gemini Gatekeeper Wicked Twister Iron Dragon Cedar Creek Mine Ride Mean Streak Mantis Woodstock Express Corskrew I have not been on Jr. Gemini, so I can't judge it Also interessing to note that Maverick is actually my #1 coaster, and Millenium Force is my #2. Blue Streak is my #3 woodie.

Oh no ! Not ANOTHER push back ! I totally, completely understand the TPS team wants to make the best product as possible, and that's perfectly comprehensible, but each time they tell us the beta is soon starting, they crush my hopes by doing another push back. Sad... Anyway, the flooless train is very good, and even with the push back I'm still totally looking forward to playing it !

Nothing concrete solid yet, but I'd say : Definite : La Ronde (home park) Great Escape Very probably : Six Flags New England Canada's Wonderland Darien Lake Quassy Lake Compounce Maybe : Canobie Martin's Fantasy Island It's gonna be a great year ! Mostly revisits, but still I'm very excited to visit those parks !

What a great idea ! I think every coaster enthusiast should follow this tip. Days at amusement parks will be better that way !

I usually try to bring as little as possible so I don't have to rent a locker. So I always have with me wallet and some cash in case, and also my flipcam which I can bring with me on rides (not to film illegally, of course, but I don't have to leave it in a 1$ locker). If I do a bigger day, I bring a bag with a refillable plastic bottle so I don't have to pay for water, and all the above-mentionned things goes in the bag too. I always bring too a case for my glasses, because I never keep them when I go on a Vekoma ! However, on big park days, I usually wear eye lens.

Let'S see... Boomerang? Boomerang @ Great Escape (2009) SLC? Ednör @ La Ronde (2010) Roller Skater? Woodstock Express @ Cedar Point (2013) Others? First Vekoma Corskrew = Super Manège @ La Ronde (2008)

^I think it's actaullay the improvements of twisted twins they were talking about at the beginning

That's awesome news ! The layout of Lightning Run looks awesome, and I'm really happy to finally see a mega lite in the US ! Curious to see how the first Morgan Mega-Lite will perform...

Wow, seriously Manhattan Express looks absolutely terrible ! This is probably Goudurix's brother or cousin, who knows !

^That is pretty cool, I never knew if the reverser rides ever existed !

Wow, this flying coaster looks A LOT like one of the funkier coaster designs in RCT3 ! It's called the "mini flying suspended coaster"... Anyone else noticed they look alike ?

How many DVDs or Blu-Rays do you purchase each year? Very few (I'd say probably 1 or 2 per year... And they are all RC in the RAW !) How many digital downloads do you purchase each year? Also very few, as much as I buy dvd's and also RC in the raw only. How do you purchase digital downloads? (iTunes, Stream, etc) Via the TPR store Is a 1.5gb - 2 gb file "too big" for you to download to your device? Not at all, I have unlimited internet so 2 GB isn't a problem, especially if it's for a TPR DVD !

Cedar Fair seems to be building better rides, and their parks are better in general. They are usually cleaner than Six Flags, and operations are more dynamic and way better (I especially like the animation that the employees do at Cedar Point !). The Fast-Lane system at Cedar Fairs completely kick Flash pass in the trash can ! However, good point for Six Flags, their season passes are way cheaper and allows you to do more things. For example, my La Ronde season-pass cost me 50 $ for gold in super-discount, and I didn't have to pay extra to visit other Six Flags properties, have free parking at each Six Flags, etc. Cedar Fair's platinum, which lets you do approx. the same of what I know, is 200 $. Six Flags' is half of that ! So even if I think overall Cedar Fair is better for the quality of their parks, their rides and their operations, I do enjoy my day when I go to a Six Flags park and I like both chains !

I've been on only one Togo yet (Skyrider at Canada's Wonderland), and I hated every second of it ! I know they don't have a very good reputation so I definitely go with them. I've never been on any RCCA woodie, but I dislike them for trashing lots of trees in their bad coasters. Just look at Son of Beast; what a waste !

For those of you who may have miss it, TPS today uploaded a new video showcasing several features : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O9uXDC0leI It demonstrates the new custom train builder, custom camera fly-throughs (AKA Flying Camera Route Editor in RCT3), new track in action including B&M and Intamin Hyper/Giga, rail coloring, and new terrain textures. Finally, it shows new buildings and custom scenery. They also explained on their Kickstarter that due to new features beeing integrated, the final release date was pushed back in April 2014 and the Beta in mid-december. I have to say, with this new video, I simply can't wait for the beta ! I think the track looks a lot smoother and realistic than in previous videos, and the new train editor looks like a very good addition on the feature list !

That pretty much sums up my situation too ! I also hope to someday be able to travel to other places like Florida, California or Texas during the off-season so I can enjoy coasters year round and get new credits, but for the moment I don't have the $$$ to do it . Oh, dreaming !

Does that means you want to recreate Disaster Transport ?

Awesome

That's interessing news, I didn't knew Six Flags did not owned the whole lodge. Curious to see what the new rooms will look like !

Defnitely the first coaster I create with TPS is either a Vekoma Boomerang or an Arrow Corskrew. This way if my transitions are bad it will only be closer to the real thing ! After, the first coaster I want to create is a Mack Launched. Once I'll be a little handy with the coaster creator, I will start to make a park with a few themed zones. I also hope I'll be able to use some of the more advanced features quickly, like the custom train or flats creators, and even maybe make tutorials on Youtube about modelling and using those advanced features !

Wow, this recreation is awesome ! Especially considering how limited RCT3 is, it's a crazy good Gatekeeper you got there . Please re-make it when Theme Park Studio comes out, it will absolutely ROCK !

Looks like you're having fun ! And I have to say all the YOLOduck pictures are hilarious ! Nice update ! And... YOLO !

My brother and I would SO much want to do the mini hotness ! We just need to convince our dad to come with us, because I will be 16 but my brother just 14, so we need an adult...

El Toro's at Great Adventure is crazy ! From the passenger POV's it looks vertical and it's insane ! The worst is Mean Streak with all the brakes it's boring and not interessing all. And it's rough !
