What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
Zem replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I got a Zamperla Wild Mouse credit just by chance on my way out of town at a carnival that was stationed at some sort of county fair. -
Amusement Ride Breakdown!
Zem replied to Mr Stratosphere's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've seen the Boardwalk Bullet breakdown at least 4 different times on the chain lift and 2 times at the same spot while I was on it. This used to be a common problem but I haven't seen it happen in my past few visits so I suspect that they have fixed the faulty detector or whatever was causing the problem. -
NEW TPR Video Every Day in April!
Zem replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've only been on a couple boomerangs but they were fairly enjoyable. I've never seen one with such a slow reverse lift. Is this because it i old or are they just running it at a slower speed for a certain reason? -
NoLimits Coaster News!

I'd recommend going and having a look at some of the ThemePark Studio videos. They do a nice job demonstrating an easy way to have in game animated 3D objects. -

I hope the Tango is the only part of that picture that is a joke. Olympia Looping on the other hand looks fantastic and this is a big step up just from a graphics standpoint. Have they said anything about a possible release date? -

Worst/Longest/Slowest Line you ever waited in!
Zem replied to Goliathdude's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The rattler wins my #1 spot as well. It has the worst line of any coaster I've ever been on. For those of you who haven't seen it it is a 1 person wide sloping path that goes up a wall to the station. I really hope they redo the queue for iRat since it was awful before. I waited 2 hours for the Rattler a couple summers ago since it was the only ride I hadn't been on yet. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Rattler's queue this is what it looks like: -
I personally prefer the Cannonball Loop to the Aqua Loop: VS

What will be the FIRST coaster you ride in 2013?
Zem replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me it ended up being a Python Pit. Hooray for Credit Whoring! -
No, floorless. Are the Dippin' Dots employee's "Inside Scoops" at parks reliable?

Horrible Park Operations
Zem replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What is the park that you refering to? Some parks are just cautious when it comes to restrains but I can understand why that could get annoying, but I don't see what is wrong with how they are loading the Maurer Spinning coaster if the park isn't busy or if there are groups in line that wish to ride together. -
Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread
Zem replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I personally prefer to splurge when I'm at a park. But then again maybe that's because I have an incredible teenage metabolism and don't have to worry about eating unhealthy occasionally. Still healthier eateries would be nice. I'd recommend leaving the park for lunch though if you are concerned about the health benefits of what you are putting into your mouth. -
Six Flags Fiesta Texas (SFFT) Discussion Thread
Zem replied to coaster1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those are just the footers from where the pullout on the previous drop was. Nothing special. I wonder if they'll romove them before the ride opens or just leave them there. In the video it seems the tunnel was foggy. Not sure if they are going to have actual fog machines or if it was just a video affect to make it seem darker or something. Those supports were added when the ride was refurbished several times. Here is a reference picture from before the RMC makeover: -
Why do they have the green tarp over the track? To keep the paint from fading before the opening or to keep debris off the track during construction?

New B&M trains on Steel Dragon
Zem replied to Trevor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If you speak of Gemini, Corkscrew, and Magnum, or CCMR, they are all Arrow not Morgan. I really like what the have done with these new trains! He said Cedar Fair not Cedar Point. I believe he was referring to Steel Force, Mamba, and Wild Thing. Phantom's revenge and Magnum however are Arrow. I'd personally love to see trains like these on Steel Eel. I find morgan trains to be kinda clunky and the opposite of sleek. I'm a minimalist when it comes to train designs and love to be out in the open with as little holding me in as possible. -
No, not recently. Have you ever credit whored a wacky worm?

The NL/NL2 Preview Thread
Zem replied to mcjaco's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Same. Coffee Tin is very similar to the fonts actually used in promotional pieces for RMC and other rides and is quite commonly used. I'd love to see a few more pictures of this ride! -

Top Roller Coaster Myths & Rumors!
Zem replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There has been a rumor fow awhile now that Fiesta Texas would be getting a small woodie in the boardwalk section of the park. This rumor has been even further enhanced by the recent GCI video on their YouTube page showing a roller coaster with the background being Fiesta Texas. Why else would they go through the effort of 3D modeling the entire park if they didn't plan on installing that coaster? -
No. Have you ever taken a computer programming course?
