COASTER FREAK 11

What a great Photo TR! I'm heading there for opening weekend and this TR just got me even more excited to go back! Thanks for the time it took to put this together!

So whats up with project Wildcat? Ive been watching this thread for a while and I'm glad to see its returned.

The early morning rides and after hour rides are for Cast Member's only. A few of my friends have already ridden it, they said it was very nice inside too. Its cool that we got new monorail trains, the old ones were getting kinda old.

This is really interesting news! How sure are you that it will be running?

^As quoted from Al Lutz...

Glad to see the progress on Thomas Town, I'm also kinds excited to see a train back at the park (though I never rode the original one, haha) Great update!

So, I'm finally home, here is the Matterhorn pics and 3D renderings. And unfortunately, I don't remember where I got these from, I did not make them. There are some videos on Visions Fantacitc too. This is the one that spins, but when its uploaded it doesn't do it

Haha, yes.

As much as I'd like to say that was me yawning...I think I was gasping, haha. And Pluto couldn't see you Lou, you had your zoom all the way out to get that shot, lol, but im sure he really wanted to to see you. And I do agree with you on Aquatopia, its so random and there really isnt a point to it. Also, having four days there was great, like you said because we really could just take the parks at our own pace...I think thats why we ended up spending 2 hours at Magellan's, I was stuffed after eating my lunch...I seem to remember you having an issue with what I ordered, haha. Great TR, cant wait for TDL.

Seriously, I did almost puke in the parking lot. But I dont hate the place, I don't know if I would go back unless I was somehow conned into doing it, but I did have a fun time there.

It basically is the new Innoventions. Think of it as Innoventions: Featuring the House of the Future. The bottom floor has been closed for a while for the renovation. I don't know if they will be doing anything related to the "House" on the second floor, but they had better out something up there because as it is right now...its basically a free arcade with PC games and system games like XBox 360. But most of the upstairs is empty.

This hand-drawn thing is OK for a general idea what the ride does, but I'd really like to see a side elevation & layout that's close to scale and accurate. Has anyone who knows the ride well enough done a NoLimits re-creation? That would tell a LOT! Any NoLimits guys up for the challenge?! Thats the reason why I searched for a good layout, so I could build it in no limits. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but I've gathered videos and the 3D renderings with multiple angles and one of them even spins so you can see every angle (though it does spin a bit fast). I will be able to post them on monday if you want.

I found a 3D rendering of the Matterhorn a while ago online. Ill see if I can find it.

Potato is great! He is so fluid and realistic, even his eyelids are realistic.

HAHAHA, that night that we sacrificed Jeff was amazing! I was laughing so hard I almost passed out. I even remember how Jeff presented the the Yen to us when he made it out, it was that funny! I miss Japan so much. I have a need to go back, I'm having withdrawals hahaha. Cant wait for Disney!

I overheard a couple in their late 40s say this at California Adventure: Woman- I wonder how they launch the roller coaster? Man- Really? Its obviously steam powered. Woman- Are you sure, how do you know that? Man- Look at all that steam coming out from inside the track, it has to be steam. Woman- Oh, good point. ...I nearly died laughing when I heard that. For those of you who don't know, there are misters down in between the LIMs to cool them off

She must have been really tired when she posted that.

I loved Maverick! And I really do like Cedar point as well. That night in the hotel was crazy, and really creepy. Great TR Jahan; all these pictures bring back soooooo many memories.

"The sail is made of sugar...but it tastes like plastic" Great TR Colin! That lunch had to have been the best lunch I have ever had!

This is one of the coolest parks I hvve ever been to. Im so happy to see this TR Jahan, I miss this trip so much. And why didn't you get that girls Myspace Jahan? She was totally hot for you. Thats how I got her to ride Cornball with you durring ERT, you could have at least gotten her Myspace and kept in touch! lol I book our flight, we're leaving tomorrow, pack your bags!

Dora? Cora? Its Dora. That was the name of the train on the Pinfari death looper. The ride ops gave her a name, lol. She was a beast hahaha.

^Bahaha. I choose patties...I think. Dora was nice to me when I rode her. The ride op said that I had to give her some love of she would get angry and hurt me...I didnt want to make Dora angry, lol.

HAHAHA! I go blow you up now, lol. I love the TR Jahan.

This question was brought up at the Spain/ Mini Europe DVD release party during the Q&A. At the time, Jay or Neil said that the coaster would be a Dark Night or Tony Hawk "TYPE" of ride. That does leave it open to many different possibilities; however, I wouldn't venture too far away from those ideas.
