Phantasialand Discussion Thread
cookiex replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The distance of time between the last pair of coasters shouldn't be a factor. Parks add new coasters whenever they want, and if Phantasia thinks another coaster will serve the park, especially one that adds something their existing line-up does not, they will do it. -

You mean the complete other end of town! Fun Spot Kissimmee is about as far away from Universal Orlando in terms of "theme park distance" as you can get here in Orlando. [attachment=0]Screen Shot 2017-04-02 at 18.55.15.png[/attachment] Also, Fun Spot's coaster isn't an RMC so why is that even being brought up? Huh, I never figured Fun Spot Kissimmee would be that close to WDW. I know the one in Orlando is literally across the street from Universal.

KÄRNAPULTEN will open either at the end of this month or early May as confirmed by this month's newsletter, but the themening will be running a bit behind and be completed during the off-season. KLEINE ZAR will open with the park next week but the themening won't be completed until late spring. KÄRNAN's new drop system has been fully tested and the exterior themening is nearing completion. -
[RCT2] Silver Park Magic Mountain

Another small update: Dragonfire's popularity causes a spillover effect to nearby attractions. Kite Spin and Jade Tower Spiral Coasters both have full queues. Meanwhile the park added a skyway tram to the east side of Technoland running from Metal Slug to the roman arches. It's rather short right now but plans are to extend it in the future. -

Do the seats swing like on the Vekoma versions or are they fixed? -

Here's a list That only lists the Vekoma ones, you get a better grasp by going to all inverted coasters and sort by number of inversions https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&de=5&page=1&order=24 -

Heide Park Discussion Thread

What I've read is that Colossos didn't have these issues before last year, yet it was already in a horrid state when I rode it just two weeks into the season. I just have my doubts that this was an unavoidable issue. If Balder suddenly starts running like garbage in a year or two there might be something to it. -
Heide Park Discussion Thread

Therein lies the problem. Can these rides be as easily repaired or fixed as traditional wood coasters? The company that makes the track now works for Gerstlauer, so how does that affect the ability for Intamin to source replacement parts? Can they? If that were the case Balder, El Toro and T-Express would all face similar problems either now or eventually. I kinda doubt that tbh. -
[RCT2] Silver Park Magic Mountain
cookiex replied to cookiex's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Small update: The specs for the six coasters shown in the previous update In order to satisfy demand for Dragonfire, the park management decided to install a temporary queue that reached all the way down to Jade Tower Spiral Coaster. Even that queue filled up fast! The management considered whether or not to do the same with Metal Slug (whose queue is still longer than Dragonfire even after the latter's extension) but decided against it. -
Hello all! Today I'd like to showcase you a park I've been working on, using mostly OpenRCT2 and its various features to build a completely new version of the Six Flags Magic Mountain scenario, titled Silver Park Magic Mountain. The park is far from complete, with only two areas having been finished so far, but that won't stop me from giving you a sneak peek! Here's an overview of what's been completed so far. As guests proceed to Technoland, one of two completed areas, they see the station for the yet unfinished monorail. But what more likely catches their attention is Hydrostorm, one of the world's only Mack PowerSplash coasters (think Pulsar at Walibi Belgium). And yes, it totally works! The central hub in Technoland has more than a few sights. The draw here is likely to be Vortex. Inspired by Eurosat, Vortex is a completely indoors Mack steel coaster with a spiral lift, sharp drops and even sharper turns, all in the dark! On the other side of the central hub one of Magic Mountain's most technologically impressive attractions is situated, Metal Slug: The Ride! Based on the SNK arcade game, Metal Slug is a 3D dark ride with fast-paced action and the guests going in reverse! It's one of Magic Mountain's more popular attractions, judging by the line. One of the park's more unique attractions would be Bumper Boat Battle Arena, a massive stage where guests duel one another with several icy obstacles to circle and hide between. Sadly the stands are just for show. Over at the east side Technoland's newest addition lies. What hides behind the Quartzcorp building? Rita introduces the world's first Flying Cobra Roll! Riders say this unique inversion pulls some serious Gs! A B&M flying coaster named Mech Suit Heroine Rita, of course! The story is that the guests are enhanced with robotic components that lets them fly through the air! The main action takes place on Quartzcorp's training course. Up on the mountain we find good old Sky Tower and the entrance to Samurai Summit. Samurai Summit is home to several coasters, not the least being Golden Luck Dragon, a B&M inverted coaster with six inversions and a maximum speed of 59mph! Golden Luck Dragon's giant loop towers over the midway as guests either enter or exit Technoland. Golden Luck Dragon travels all the way out to the back culminating in a massive cobra roll. The second coaster is Jade Tower Spiral Coaster, a Schwarzkopf Jumbo Jet with a custom layout and a 43mph top speed! The big spiral lift is completely indoors and themed. Shanghai Spin is a Zamperla Disk-O Coaster that proves to be quite popular. Up on the summit lies Magic Mountain's greatest coaster yet though. Guests are warned of a dragon that rests on the tallest mountain in all the land, and those that disturbs his slumber shall be greeted with a devastating Dragonfire. Once the dragon has been awakened, this Mack launched coaster inspired by Liseberg's Helix and Europa Park's Blue Fire swoops over the land and destroys everything in its wake. The ride is timed so that two trains have a close encounter, one as it flies high into the sky, the other as it descends on the poor village down below. Unfortunately not many guests took heed to the warnings, as Dragonfire proved to be very popular. More to come in a future update!

Maybe they shouldn't have let it reach such a state that they had to close it down in the first place? -

Not that it should surprise anyone but Colossos is gone entirely from the attraction list on the park website now. -

You can go to Hansa Park instead. It's an hour's drive from Hamburg. -

According to one report Colossos will be closed all year because Heide doesn't have the funding to do the necessary fixes (which are said to be extensive and costly) since they had already allocated the annual budget to Ghostbusters when Colossos was ordered to be shut down. Meanwhile a wall has been put up.
