Uh...lemme think... First off, when we visit a theme park we are part of the GP but we tend to exclude ourselves from the rest of the GP being as we are enthusiests...but we all get your idea. Anyway, here's one...(believe it or not this was a ride op) Curious SLC rider: How fast does this go? Ride Op: This ride goes about 80 mph. Curious SLC rider: Really? That's pretty fast. Me: *looks at cousin* you know, this ride only goes 50 mph like the rest of it's clones.

I have been to: SFMW (If water parks count) Waterworld Concord PGA SCBB DL KBF USH and.... SFMM I need to get out to more parks

I have yet to test out my digi-cam I bought last summer at a theme park. It does movies with sounds up to 11 minutes depending on quality. I'm happy with it and it takes some good clips (I video clipped a friend's band a few weeks ago with it) and some excellent pix.

Being a non smoker, I can't stand smelling it on somebody...and once they begin talking it get's pretty bad. I know parks around here (SFMW,PGA) do not allow you to smoke in queues. I think they should get rid of smoking overall in parks. I want to smell the cotton candy and whatnot, not someone's smokey breath.

At one point, I started collecting little stuffed animals from those claw machines. I kinda stopped now realizing I need to save my money rather than use it on rigged machines and the arcade took out the one I would win out of.

Splash Mtn. Space Mtn.(Both DL) Cali-Screamin (haven't rode but looks fun)

Yea..I was completely unaware they had a park map...Yes, it's kinda bad but in a way, it'll be semi useful as now I know where to position the rides at. Thanks for the info.

A log flume, or even a ride like Arrow Head Splashdown would be a really good addition to the park being as those summer days can get quite hot. SFMW would then have a nice collection of water rides and be equal w/ PGA as far as water rides go (excluding Boom Bay)...Better yet, they should add a water coaster.

Now, if SFMW was no longer owned by the city, but by Six Flags, would they lose their invisable 150 foot "ceiling"?

You can't just expect replies out of people suddenly. Anyway though, yes you admitted that the pacing was bad and I was having flashbacks of Psyclone there. Now, I'm no expert at NL but I've pulled this off in RCT (original). It's all about timing. Figure how long it takes to get up the lift and to hit the loop. After the loop, figure how much more time it takes for the next train to go thru the first loop. From there, just build more track to make up for the timing and build your next interlocking loop. That's what I did on the first RCT and it should work just as well in NL. I figured this out with an old Loch Ness monster track I have.

That reminds me of when I attempted 2 things with my legos: An S&S lego tower that was pulled to the top by hand and when released, the car slammed down either sticking to the base or breaking into peices A sky slingshot w/ rubberband bungee cords. I pulled the pod thingy down and had re-enacted Vertigo's Tower collapse. After looking at more pix on the internet, my brother thought it also maybe possible to build an Intamin first gen freefall (aka Dumpster Drop) being as he has curved peices. Any of these ideas we have in mind are all going to be motorized so we won't have cars crashing thru the ceiling. I'll post pix when we're done.

I'm taking a short break on my SFOH park and am working on the SCBB in RCT3. I've ran into a few problems though. I can't quite get all the details I need such as the GD queue house and stuff like that. I need to also find good overview pix of the "pit" rides such as freefall and cavetrain as well as the other rides above on that end. Now, is there a park map of SCBB and if so where at? If anyone has good pix (Did billions of google searches in the past year or so and got nowhere) lemme know. I know this should be in the RCT forum but afterall it is a question. Anyway, thanks and lemme know if you have any good pix (I need to take a trip to the boardwalk again)

Whenever we get the time, (When my bro's actually away from the TV) and when I'm actually not on the computer, we're going to attempt to build an S&S tower (Working) out of his erector set. If that plan fails, we'll probably build a booster (ferriswheel like ride that's on steroids)

Yea..1 sounds correct...There is also the Loof carousel.

So are you going to post any pix? I'd like to see...if possible, maybe a video!

I did a mini-marathon of 11 rides on Giant Dipper. I could have done more but my cousin was waiting for me and didn't want to ride it. In total that day, I probably rode the dipper around 16 times. On the otherhand, as far as Non-coasters go, I did 6 continuous rides on a Top Spin Voodoo @ SFMW...I regretted it afterwards although that ride was fun. The remainder of the night, I felt very nauseated.

As much as I don't care for S:TE, I would really like to see the model of it. Maybe the model will be more intense

Um...yea..here's my first (and best coaster pic). Please note that this was taken in a moving vehicle way before I had a real digi-cam to get pix with. Otherwise here's the Not so Vertical Velocity. If the sun wasn't in such a bad spot, this woulda came out good and woulda been able to see some of my friends.. Last one for now until I can find some of my first POV images is the Tazmanian Devil @ sfmw...best flat there. Best ride to go on right after eating V2.5's rear spike, but the sun messed it up. Don't you just love the Gameboy camera?

We'll usually hit up fast food places like McDonalds, or good old In n Out Burger. If we have some extra time and in the area, we may hit up Fuddruckers...(awesome burgers...and huge...)

I turned 20 the day the forums opened. My first "Big coaster" was Grizzly @ PGA but being as it sucked, I try to ignore that fact and count Giant Dipper @ Santa Cruz as my first. Technically, my real first coaster would have been the Blue Streak/Green Slime Mine Car/Run Away Reptar @ PGA.

Ok...now I've got an RCT3 problem. My computer easily crushes the system spec's but each time I go to load this one specific park I found, the game suckes me out and closes out on me. My computer then says my memory is too low. I know what the issue is: My memory is "Too Low, insufficient, ect" but it isnt. The game calls for 256 MB of ram recommended and I've got over 512 Megs. Secondly, (I don't think it is a video card issue but I'll add it in for extra info) the game requires at least a 64 mb video card. I've got a 256 mb...What's wrong here and how can I resolve this issue before Oblivion's (coastergrotto.com) SFMM recreation is ready for release? Lastly, I'd like to add that I am up to date on RCT3...complete with update 2.

Does my Six Flags Cool Coaster I bought a couple years ago count? If so, I've built a compact G Force inducing launched inverted coaster.

Headbanging all the way, guys!!!

My friend saved me and 2 of our other friends on Drop Zone @ PGA. The ride was seconds away from being dispatched as my friend screamed out "Hey....We're not secure....You forgot to check our restraints" and it was a good thing he did. That would have been 4 of us to die in unison. This was pre-adding the extra safety belt. Unfortunately, that ride took a death in order to have those added into the restraints (which had happened the next day)

^As far as the Grudge, that was funny....you were so scared.... As I'm typing, I'm watching Taxi. It's pretty good so far.
