Am I the only person who looks forward to each and every new Hard Hat Chronicle?! Holiday World is doing an amazing job with this coaster. From the build up before they released it, to the documenting of the construction. It is awesome to see park employees as excited about the new coaster as we are! I can not wait to see, and ride the finished product!

Entertaining, funny ride ops.
DoinItForTheFame replied to GivenOneChance's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I seriously love the ride op who did this on Acrophobia at SFOG! Listen to the "speech" when they get to the top of the tower! It makes me laugh every time! -

I vote yes for this idea. On a separate note Manti... I mean Rougarou is starting to look really good! I can not wait to see the new trains! I WISH the new floorless trains would have the Banshee style restraints. Regardless it will still be 100% better than the standup trains. -
Ride You Felt Was Unsafe?
DoinItForTheFame replied to Mr Stratosphere's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Any Zipper ride. Any "StarFlyer" ride. Something about just being held way up in the air by little bitty chains while the ride spins around, and your seats randomly twist. No, not a fan of that. X-Scream I know it is not possible. However, in my mind every time we went over the edge of the tower, I kept freaking out thinking the thing was going to break, and we were going to plummet a 1,000+ feet to our death. I know it is not possible, but when you are on the ride "Not possible" becomes possible in your mind. Insanity. Same issue as X-Scream. I just kept picturing the ride breaking and me falling to my death. I rode them both once, and I have sworn to never ride them again!!! -

The new colors are looking great! Maybe the trim will go after all!! Then again... Maybe it will stay. Hmmmm... Only time will tell! -
It is/was a very fun coaster! However I highly doubt the ability (Or practicality) to move the coaster from CC to SDC. CC was/is a fairly flat park in comparison to SDC. I do not where SDC would come up with a large enough flat area in the park for the coaster. Of course you could do landscaping and such. However I think the cost to take down, move, landscape, and reassemble would be just as much, if not more than just buying a new coaster. Then again, I could be wrong.

Unnecessary Queuing Lines
DoinItForTheFame replied to palmerleeberry's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thunderation at SDC. It just keeps going, and going, and going. Not to mention it is VERY rare to wait more than 5 minutes for that coaster. -
I love the first coaster you posted! Looks awesome!!! I wish I were able to make a realistic Arrow Shuttle Loop, but no... Every time I try... I fail. Your's look amazing!!! To answer your question on the loop, if you try selecting all of the vertices of the loop, and clicking smooth that should help you out a lot!! Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see more!

Thank you!!! It has taken a lot of time, but I am very happy with how it is turning out. The track work is done, and supporting is done. Now I am working on the scenery, and lighting. Not much left to do! I agree, the bland sign has been driving be crazy, and I was not sure how to go about making it look better. But I have changed it to a way that I think looks really good! Some more photos for you all! Enjoy! As always, comments welcome! The new entrance sign, and I really like how it has turned out! A little theme touches here and there. The new observation deck.

Hey everyone, Sorry for the double post, but I have been making a LOT of progress with my current project, and I thought I would share it with you. A POV, and the final download for this coaster will be coming soon. However, any advice you could provide me in the mean time is greatly appreciated. Thanks! I just love this element. Lets take a closer look shall we. It is a work in progress. I love this area. Such a unique element. Airtime anyone?? This in real life would be amazing. One more look at the amazing dive turn!

Such an amazing TR. The rides look amazing, and I look forward to visiting this park for the first time in person. However, hopefully Tripsdrill's will fill in the area around Karacho. It seems so............ unfinished.

I have been on so many GCI coasters that I have lost count. However all of the GCI coasters I have been on were MANY years ago... but here is what I remember. Lighting Racer was an AMAZING coaster. I loved the first drop, and all of the twist, and turns. I can NOT wait to get back out to the park and ride it again. Ozark Wildcat - A GREAT coaster with an awesome mix of airtime and lat G's. I can only hope that Herschend will move the coaster to SDC. I am sure they can make that happen.

The "Oh Sh*^" moments vs. a good ride
DoinItForTheFame replied to Skramp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You know... I agree, and disagree. There are certian rides where the OH SH!T moments make the ride. Examples: Top Thrill Dragster - When the brake fins drop, you drift back slightly, you really get that OH SH!T moment. Also, when you crest the tower in the front row, again you get that OH SH!T moment. Outlaw Run - This ride is FULL of OH SH!T moments. From the first drop to the double barrel roll into the brake run. It is a relentless coaster. With that being said, if it is a coaster that is FULL of OH SH!T moments, then it (in my book) Is a GREAT ride (IE: Outlaw Run.) If it is a one trick pony (IE: Top Thrill Dragster) Then it is still a good coaster as long as the OH SH!T moments are enough to to take your breath away, and make you wanting to do it again, and again. If it is just your average coaster with a few "OMG" and/or a few "well... that was funish" and/or "What a great drop, but the rest of the ride sucked" Then it is a ride it once for the credit, and then move on coaster. Yep, that sums up my opinion.
