Supernovae

Hope you have a good after summer weather there. About Snorri's touren, I have not hear anything about a replacement. Would be to soon as it is only opened a year of 4 ago in my opinion. It's just too cute to closed it.

Day 3 - Rulantica For those who don't like to read the whole report, here you find a compilation video of our day at Rulantica: Day 3 had already arrived, and we stayed in Rust, but this time not for the roller coasters, but for the water slides in Rulantica. Two years ago, we visited for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful water park complex. This time again, we were amazed by the underwater world of Snorri. Each water slide is themed with beautiful paintings or shaped like snakes. During your journey on "Snorri’s Saga," there is plenty to see along the walls of this lazy river. In 2022, they were constructing the "Vikingløp," the largest racing slide in Europe, consisting of no less than 8 lanes. You grab a mat, and after the countdown, you "dive" onto it, hoping to be the fastest to reach the bottom. A very fun addition to the water park, and due to its high capacity, it's a great option when the other water slides are crowded. The wild river "Vildstrøm" is also enjoyable; it's not too wild, making it suitable for the whole family and a nice break between the slides, as it also has a large capacity. The park is open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and you really need this time to enjoy all the water slides and other attractions at your leisure. Some water slides are for the true thrill-seekers, like the "Dugdrob," where you race down at high speed in a free fall, or the "Vinte Rytt," which has a nice ramp and can carry a maximum weight of 300 kilograms per tube to prevent you from flying over the ramp. Others are also suitable for the less daring, like the duo-racer "Hugin." The only downside we found was the food and beverage service; there was limited food choice, and if you wanted a drink, you had to first order your food and then fetch your drink from the soda machine with a full tray and an empty cup. This was very inconvenient as there was nowhere to place your tray, and if you were alone, it was quite a challenge. There was also a machine where you could return your empty cups and get the deposit refunded onto your payment wristband, but by the end of the day, all of these machines were broken, so you still had to queue to return the cups to the staff at the counters. This could definitely be improved... The owner of our apartment had given us a voucher for free parking at Europa-Park or Rulantica. Knowing from two years ago that after a day of carrying tubes up the stairs, you'd be quite sore, we decided to use this voucher for free parking at Rulantica so we could travel there and back by car. Once home, we were tired and satisfied after a fun day at Rulantica. Next time, we'll be back! On to day 4: Steinwasen Park!

Europa-Park Day 2 Again we have here the full day vlog video for those who don't like to read the full report: And here we continue our full report of day 2 at Europa-park! After a great night's sleep, it was time for our second day at Europa-Park. We started with a good breakfast at the "Europa-Park Rock Café," a place we hadn’t tried before but certainly approved of! We still had plenty of roller coasters to ride, so we quickly moved on. Switzerland was our first destination, which we consider one of the most beautiful areas. The nice thing about this area is that there are many little houses you can enter and sit down in to enjoy the tranquility or the view. You can also find some 'hidden animatronics' here and there. So, for those who aren’t very familiar with the park, take your time to explore this area; it's full of surprises! Our first roller coaster was the "Schweizer Bobbahn," a bobsled coaster by Mack. It's short, not too fast, but has a reasonably fun layout. It's not worth waiting in line for too long, but with a maximum wait of 30 minutes, it's fun to do. Next up was the "Matterhorn Blitz," a wild mouse coaster also located in the Swiss section. The waiting area inside is very atmospheric, with rooms showcasing Swiss rural life, adding to the experience. However, the ride itself isn’t particularly special, with the lift being the most interesting part. Otherwise, it's a rough ride where you get tossed around, typical for this type of coaster, but not necessarily enjoyable unless you like bruises. We then headed to France to start with the "Eurosat-Cancan Coaster." To the tune of the famous Cancan music, you experience a ride through the Parisian nightlife. For those who remember this roller coaster before it was converted to the Cancan version, it used to be much rougher, but now that's a thing of the past. Your 80-year-old grandpa could probably ride it now (figuratively speaking). Another major attraction, possibly the park's biggest, is also located in France: the "Silver Star"! This B&M coaster themed after Mercedes-Benz is a delightful ride, where you're so comfortably seated that you could do a 24-hour challenge on it. It's wonderful to descend from 73 meters on one of the smoothest roller coasters we know. The weather was warm again on this day, not as much as the day before, but still perfect for visiting some water attractions. "Poseidon"... supposedly had a retrack in 2022. We didn’t notice any 'improved' version then, and still didn't this time... If anyone knows where the smooth sections are, let us know, as we haven't found them yet. We were glad to be off it. However, it is located in one of the park's more beautiful themed areas, Greece. We stayed in Greece for "Pegasus." A wonderfully smooth roller coaster, known as a kiddie coaster but doesn't feel like one. Though it’s not worth a long wait. There are plenty of other roller coasters in the park that take priority for multiple visits. As they had a VR experience in the past. the front 3 cars went up for the purchase of those VR glasses, the waiting lines were long in the past. Fortunately they have get rid of this option nowadays. Next, we headed to Russia for "Euro-Mir." Based on previous experiences, we knew it would be a painful ride, so we braced ourselves as soon as the spinning coaster started its descent, but there’s not much you can do; it only limits the damage to your limbs. It's a fun layout and a clever concept, but for a "smooth ride," we would recommend other coasters in the park. See us enjoying the ride! As mentioned in the trip report for day 1, we made another attempt at "Voltron" for a better ride. Unfortunately, it was again a ride in one of the trains without shock absorbers, but Supernovae78 and CoasterIris noticed a positive difference between sitting in the middle and sitting on the side. They chose the former this time, which made the ride much more pleasant. The pre-show in the station is also fantasic I can tell. As the day came to an end, Supernovae78 and CoasterIris went on some flat rides, including our favorite, the "Taxis" in England, while SupernovaeJr. opted for another ride on "Wodan." We all agreed that now with the addition of "Voltron," even two days are not enough to fully explore the park, even when the park is open an hour longer, like on this day. Of course, we also had to eat. This time, we dined at the "Colosseo Hotel" in the Italian restaurant, enjoying dishes from this country. Back in the apartment, we didn’t stay up too late, as we were heading to day 3, Rulantica!

Hello friends of Themepark Review! For this year we have a brand new series of Trip reports from our Germany / France Alpes roadtrip of 2024! And we start with our first 3 days of Europa-park and Rulantica! As usual, we've made two types of reports. For those who don't like reading, we've created a vlog with moving images for this day: For those who aren't interested in endless chatter interspersed with visuals, we've made a complete report below with individual on-ride videos and photos of the attractions: Europa Park Day 1 + the Evening Before This summer vacation, we (Supernovae78, Coaster Iris, and Supernovae Jr.) sought entertainment in Germany and France. Here's the report of the first day (and a bit of the evening before). On Sunday, July 14th, we departed around 10 AM, heading towards Rust and arriving at 'Boland Apartments' at 5 PM, about a 15-minute walk from the park. We were welcomed by the enthusiastic and friendly owner. Our nice apartment at Boland apartments. While Supernovae78 and Jr are unpacking the suitecases Coaster Iris is allowed to relax a little in the backyard after driving us from the Netherlands to South Germany. After settling in and eating, we decided to go to the Colosseo hotel to watch the final of the European Football Championship on a big screen. We would have preferred to be there in our orange shirts, but let's not talk about that... Luckily, Spain won, which we preferred over England, so we still had a little celebration. It was great to experience it this way; it was very busy but had a nice atmosphere. Satisfied, we walked back to our apartment to quickly get into bed. The next day we had to get up early for the first day in the 'showroom of the Mack family'. Monday, July 15th: Hello Europa Park, we're back after two years of absence! Let's start by having breakfast at our favorite bakery in France/Switzerland, sitting at the tables with the red and white checkered tablecloths by the water. The "Käse-und-speck pretzels" were gratefully devoured, giving us the energy to face the day. We stocked up on drinks because, with 30 degrees, you don't want to be without water. We decided to first check out Austria, as this area had been renovated after the fire in June 2023. It's a very beautiful area to walk through, more spacious than the old one, with great viewpoints of the renovated Powered Coaster Alpenexpress Enzian and the revamped log flume Tiroler Wildwasserbahn. After walking around for a bit, it was time to test the first attraction: Alpenexpress, show us what you've got! We all agreed that it ran smoothly through the track and didn't slow down for the station even after the second round—great! We also hit up the log flume, which is no punishment with this heat; this attraction has also turned out really nice. The moment we knew we were screwed. Some nice interaction with the Mack Powered. Next up was Voltron, the park's latest addition. We had read some enthusiastic reviews here and there, so expectations were high. After waiting in line for about 50 minutes, it was finally our turn, only to (especially Supernovae78 and Coaster Iris) come out almost broken. It was a very unpleasant ride. The coaster itself is great, with cool inversions and all, but the word "smooth" doesn't exist in the vocabulary of this Mack coaster. Especially if you're sitting on the side, it's not good for your limbs.... Later we found out online that 3 out of 7 trains didn't have shock absorbers yet, so we were among the 'lucky' ones riding one of those 3 trains. Luckily, we had another day; maybe we'll have better luck then... An on-ride video was made on the second day of our visit, so it can also be found there. Especially since this was not a front-seat ride and it certainly didn't stay family-friendly. It was already time for lunch, which we had in Ireland at "The O'Mackay’s Café and Pub." After a delicious lunch (the Shepherd’s pie there is highly recommended!), it was time to ride the most exciting coaster in the park. The Ba-a-a-Express... well, all for the YouTube channel, right... so, done with that and moving on... From the observation tower Ba-a-a Express is located in the centre of this Ireland area picture. It was time to visit Arthur. We enjoyed the world of this brave boy and the Minimoys, defeated the villain, and moved on with the day's agenda. Short wait time, too. We only had to queue for about 15 minutes. It was time for another water attraction, Atlantica Supersplash, here we come! Supernovae Jr. discovered that you don't get too wet on this water coaster. Not too bad with 29 degrees and humid weather. Wodan awaited us. Google tells me that this is the Germanic version of the god Odin, a well-known figure from Norse mythology. He is mighty, which is evident during a ride on this wooden roller coaster from GCI; the wooden duo coaster Joris en de Draak is child's play in comparison... Despite its age, this GCI coaster still offers a very pleasant ride. From wood to steel, it's all possible... launch coaster Blue Fire, here we come! Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, so it was a rainy ride, which isn't very enjoyable! But it's still a mega coaster, with great inversions and beautiful Icelandic theming. Seeing the threatening clouds, we decided to go on some dark rides. We were near Snorri, this cute and somewhat clumsy octopus takes you to his mysterious underwater world of Rulantica. We had visited this attraction two years ago and were impressed then, as we are now, by this fantastic dark ride. A must-do if you're visiting the park and fun for the whole family, especially if you have young children. Earlier in the day, Piraten in Batavia was suggested, and since we were there, we decided to check it out. We're still surprised at how few visitors this attraction has; if you have to wait 5 minutes, it's a lot. And why? It's a beautiful dark water ride and doesn't deserve to be so poorly attended. Also, it's a nice break from all the coaster action, right? The park was open until 7 PM that day, and since we wanted to spend time on the attractions, we decided to eat in Rust. On the way from our apartment to the park, we had already seen a grill restaurant, and since all three of us were in the mood for some meat, the choice was quickly made; we decided to try 'The Grill.' For a reasonable price, you can eat well and more than enough to satisfy your hunger. The day was over, time to watch the videos from the DJI action cam on the big screen and then head to bed around 11 PM. On to day 2!

Hello all, Hereby our first trip report of our summer holiday 2023. We take you to Skylinepark, an amusement park in the German town of Rammingen Our final destination would be the town of Längenfeld in Austria, so this fun amusement park was a nice stopover. The night before we had an overnight stay in Stuttgart, so that we could visit Skylinepark fresh and fruity. It was the first time for all three of us, so a lot to discover! We decided to take it easy that morning and enjoyed the hotel's extensive breakfast buffet before we got into the car towards the park. After all, it was a weekday and the schools didn't have a holiday yet, so we didn't expect a lot of crowds. Before we get started I have 3 choices for you: Choice 1 is the full Vlog of the day for those who don't like to read. Choice 2 is a compilation video accompanied by music (William Orbit), for those who don't like endless talking. Choice 3 is a nice read below with the loose onrides in between to view. Somewhere around 11.00 am we arrived and it was immediately noticeable that it was a very nice park with a few special attractions. Of course we knew about the 'Skywheel' a Skyloop rollercoaster from Maurer Rides. We therefore decided to choose this new type of roller coaster for all three of us as the first attraction of the day. Take some photos and videos along the way and then enter the queue. After waiting a few rides, it was time. Unfortunately not yet front seat, which came the rides afterwards. Yup, we did indeed do several rides, what a great fun job! The only nasty thing was the brake when the train stopped for a moment at the top, that gave you a slap in the back, but as a seasoned coaster fan we are used to something, right? Supernovae Productions Crew: Supernovae78, Supernovae Jr. and Coaster Iris. After this we decided to go in the 'Sky Twister' this is a nice Huss Condor, nice speed, high, but no different from the other condors we had done. So... one Huss attraction later, time for a roller coaster again and now just found one next to the 'Sky Wheel'! The 'Kids Spin'. Yes you guessed it: a spinning coaster more aimed at children. Later in the day there was also the somewhat more intense spinning coaster (with the emphasis on intense…), but more about that later. We went in with the motto, Just for the coaster bingo, but during the ride we found out that it really was a nice ride, it spun nicely. As it had a short track we got 3 laps for the price of 1 which is always fun! It was very hot that day, so something with water was certainly welcome, so looking for a water attraction. Soon we saw the 'Sky Rafting', a (as CoasterIris always says) water slide that got out of hand. It first traveled through the German fairgrounds from 2005-2010, but eventually found its permanent place in this park. We entered the round boat and with a vertical lift we were hoisted high and then started the descent. It soon became clear that you really had to hold on tight, because he was fast and had quite a few corners. As always you end up with a splash at the bottom, this one was good but we weren't soaked. After a refreshing 'dive' in the Sky Rafting, we decided to view the park in a higher atmosphere by going into the Allgäuflieger; a starflyer that, at 142 m high, is the tallest starflyer in the world. Well, not all three of us were in those higher spheres as one of us would have liked to put his feet back on the ground as soon as possible (see our vlog and or onride). But how beautiful it is to view the park from this perspective. Earlier in the day we had already spotted a haunted house and of course we couldn't skip it, so we boarded the Geisterbahn designed by Mack. Like most haunted houses we've done, this one was laughable and wrong rather than actually startling you. So we were rather laughing than we wet our pants with fear . But it sure was fun. Well, time for a roller coaster again and what I told you earlier in this trip report, there was also another Spinning coaster in addition to the Kids Spin, ladies and gentlemen I present to you: the 'Sky Spin'! A torture device from Maurer Rides…. First you are hoisted up via the lift hill, you don't know what to expect yet. A nice spinning coaster you think… none of this is true as soon as you start spinning it soon turns out to be more of a torture device than a fun spinning coaster. You will be thrown in all directions and the word 'smooth' is not in the dictionary of this attraction. As we wanted to keep our Youtube Channel family friendly, we are very conscious not to swear in rides, but trust us we had to do our best not to use words that are not in the Bible When all our guts were back in the right place, we agreed: this once, but never again! Let's relax in the 'Wildwasserbahn' a Log Flume from Mack with a nice theme and the highest mobile wild water course in the world (30 m). Fun fact: there has been another Wildwasserbahn here before, but this one eventually went to Eifelpark. Fun ride with fun elements and, like every Log Flume, ends with a high drop and a big splash. Compared to the previous Sky Rafting, we got a bit wetter in this, but this was also doable. In the park was also the Sky Dragster, a Powered Coaster from Maurer Rides. The two of you sit behind each other on the motorcycle and you can decide how fast you go after you have been 'launched'. We soon noticed that this was not capacity attraction. After about 15 minutes of waiting, maybe 2 bikes had left and we still had quite a few rides ahead of us before it was our turn. What do we do? Keep waiting? But then we can hardly do any other attractions, after all, it was already after 3 p.m. After some deliberation, we decided to ignore the attraction, so that we could focus on the rest. At the beginning of the day we already walked past the 'Sky Rider', a gyroflyer from manufacturer Caripro, the same builder of the Batflyer in Duinrell (which never came) and Batfly from Plopsaland de Panne. Still a roller coaster with a Dutch touch because this company comes from the Dutch town of Weert. With an elevator you go up and via a single track you make the descent down. Nice job and for Supernovae JR and Supernovae the first they have done. CoasterIris had already done the Bat once (in the video she says this was her first Gyroflyer, but she forgot about the Bat). Time to test our 'race skills' in 'Formel 1' a go-kart track. Could we surpass Max Verstappen ? No, unfortunately that is not possible on such a small track, oh well, it's just as fun for in between, let's say. During the day we also saw the 'Krinoline' a Hully Gully from Schwarzkopf, one we wanted to do, because we didn't come across it very often in amusement parks. Fun little thing, but not one you want to queue up for. We decided to make some movies from the 'Riesenrad' (ferriswheel) and then go wild in the 'High Fly' an inverting frisbee. As often, these things seem more intense when you're looking at it from the ground than when you're in it, so this time too. Supernovae Jr decided to take a second ride, he had never done such an attraction before (height restrictions) so he took his chance. End of the day time to eat (or so we thought). Earlier in the day we had already seen that there was a catering point with delicious Gyros sandwiches and we had set our minds on that. Mouth watering we arrived and what did we see: the shutters were closed? What? Close around dinner time? That is very bad! We were advised by the staff to go to another catering point, which also appears to be closing its shutters. Quite wondering why the catering points were closed so early (do they not want to make money ???) we walked to the exit assuming that we had to eat somewhere outside the park. At the exit we saw that the restaurant was open there and so a little later we were enjoying a Schnitzel with fries. After the stomach was filled, it was time to drive to Längenfeld in Austria, where the rest of our adventures of this beautiful holiday would begin and we also ended this holiday with another amusement park, but that is another story . All in all it is a nice park in the category of small parks. Not a full day park unless you really want to do the 'Sky Dragster'. Because they closed the restaurants, we unanimously decided to give the park 4 stars. If there were more eating options around dinner time, they would have gain the full 5 stars in our opinion. In the hope that it has entertained you and until the next trip report!

Hello fellow theme park enthusiasts! After our holiday in Austria we wanted to make a stopover in Tripsdrill. An amusement park in the town of Cleebronn in Germany that is best known for its great German theme style. Before we start, I have 3 choices for you: Choice 1 is the complete Vlog of the day for those who don't like reading. Choice 2 is a compilation video accompanied by music, for those who don't like endless talking. Option 3 can be read below with the individual onrides in between for viewing. If you have an Efteling annual pass, you can enter this park once a year for free, so we of course gratefully took advantage of this. We decided to immediately grab the two newest additions to the park, which are intertwined. So we started with the Vekoma Family Boomerang Volldampf, put on the harness, put the Action Cam on the harness and go! We thought. It turned out that we first had to go to the information desk to get written permission, which you will then have to hand in at each ride. Oh well, no problem, we'll just stand in line again, it wasn't very busy in the park that day. So fill out the form and return! After the boomerang ride, which was actualy longer than we thought, it was time for the gem of the park: Hals-uber-Kopf, a Suspended Thrillcoaster from Vekoma Rides. We enjoyed the smoothness of this track and then wanted to continue our way to the next attraction. When we were at the photo sale, the seller noticed that Supernovae JR. had the Action-cam on his harness. In broken English the man tried to say something about this, while gesturing to the Action-cam. Supernovae JR. said it was turned off and I indicated that we had received written permission. This turned out not to be enough for this man and he turned the action camera downwards. We were quite surprised and quite annoyed (what gives anyone the right to touch someone's stuff without asking?). We asked if he was afraid that we would take a photo of our onride photo on the screen and he confirmed this. After explaining that the quality of our own camera is a lot better than that he offers, we continued our way laughing out loud. In the meantime we started to get hungry: time to get something to eat. The search for something decent to eat turned out to be quite a challenge: we mainly came across catering outlets with popcorn, cotton candy and donuts. Since we didn't feel like having wasps around us, this quickly fell through. Maybe it was just us, but we couldn't find almost anything for a simple snack. Eventually we arrived at a stall selling pizza slices. Fine! We were finally able to eat something and sit for a while. Unfortunately, some wasp meeting was just next to us so we needed to re-locate. Far away from the wasps, we still enjoyed our pizza and then got back to doing what we came for: the attractions. Time for the 3rd roller coaster and this time we went back a few bars... to the Rasender Tausendfüssler, or: the Caterpillar Track. Not very special, one in the 'as usual' category. What was very nice was the interaction with the operator who stirred up the visitors on the train to cheer as soon as the train came through the station for the 2nd round. So we could cross this off too, where should we go next? It became Karacho: an Infinity Coaster from Gerstlauer. Supernovae and CoasterIris had already done this once before in 2015, but we could no longer remember whether it was 'smooth' or not. During the ride we discovered that we had experienced smoother tracks. The layout is nice, but it is not a nice relaxing coaster. The humor at the exit was wonderfully typical of Tripsdrill. 2 more coasters to go! Since Mammut's neighbor was Karacho, we decided to take this one as the next ride, we are close to it now, right? This woodie from Cordes Holzbau goes up the lift hill at a good speed and is quite smooth for a wooden roller coaster. The last roller coaster in front of us. G'sengte Sau is a Gerstlauer Bobsled Coaster. It's remains a fun lay-out, especially because it is part of the theming around the Jungbrunnen castle, the logg flume ride that has a very 'special' theme. We immediately took this log-flume after G'sengte Sau and we discovered that we had an extra passenger with us. A large green grasshopper. Now I (CoasterIris) am not really afraid of insects, but since I was wearing shorts, I didn't feel very comfortable when we got to the darker part of the rides. I hoped he didn't jump into my pants. Luckily that didn't happen hahaha. Now that we had covered all the main attractions, we could go for the smaller stuff. We started with the Suppenschüsselfahrt, which was still quite similar to the one we did next: the Weinkübelfahrt. What you should definitely not miss when you are in this park is the soapbox race or the Seifenkisten-Rennen, a (in my opinion) unique attraction and if you have not done this then you have not been to Tripsdrill . The Gugelhup-Gaudi-Tour is a very nice waltzer, Supernovae and CoasterIris remembered, unfortunately it was closed due to a maintanence, so we decided to go to, the Schklaptour. Time is ticking, also in Tripsdrill and so we came to the end of the day. We walked past some staged animatronics play and decided to take a look. We had no idea what it was about…. On to the hotel! Unfortunately we had to skip the Wildlife Park. Who knows next time It remains a very nice park with a unique theme, which sets it apart from other German parks. Unfortunately it is too far away from us to hit and run it for a day, but who knows, see you in a few years?

Well after a week of quarantine we are released (all 3 of us tested positive for Covid) So we can leave that behind us just before holidays are starting. Now further on the project. So I'm landed at a turn point with "Walk on the wild side" Themepark and forced to make a decision soon as building is almost becoming impossible due to the lagging. Also making new videos is getting problematic. As soon Judgment day is coming in sight the frame rate drops terrible and unworkable to make good quality on-rides. So I came up with the idea of a divorce. Yes divorces are always painfull but some time it makes things better. As I still have plenty ideas for "Walk on the wild side" themepark and also "Judgmentday" I will separate both from each other. That is the only way to extend both lives on the forums. "Judgmentday" will go on as a Halloween themed park on it's own. "Walk on the wild side" will continue as it did before Judgmentday was added. Landscape and rough themes will continue to rise in the park. "One night in Bangkok", "Vintage Pier", "Medieval Dutch" and a "Dutch overseas Colony" are the first areas that will be build in the coming year(s) I will first upgrade the park with restaurants instead of the single shops. And lift it to a Resort status by building hotels to the park. So here the last pictures of the both together Well it is going to take me some days to get the divorce done so next update in the new year! Thanks for all your kind words and support over this remarkable year. Please stay save, stay healthy, and keep calm for the year 2021.

Well I can leave my cave! Finally! Judgmentday is ready! well the most of the exterior. But the darkride it self is totally ready, We are now at an incredible 83K+ pieces and 80% exterior is finished. proof: So it's official! Judgmentday the ride opened it gates tonight at the start of the Halloween 2020 season. Judgmentday is a message to the every single soul out there in the world. The question here is, are you ready when it hits you now... Would I end up where I want to end up. What if Judgmentday is real...? I proudly announce here the full on ride of "Judgmentday" the ride! Hope to be entertainyou soon again https://youtu.be/goxbfvugA9k And hope you like the idea behind it

Hello everyone Time for a huge update today on the next prime ride of "Walk on the wild side" Themepark. Started to expend the exterior of Judgmentday castle on a greater scale. The main Castle is to arise on the skyline of the park. First started with the left wing of the main castle. Light plan installed. Main Castle is going up. Higher and higher. More detail on the exterior. What a view! More detail. Main castle roofs are closed. Park overview. Full lightplan installed. The front side of Judgmentday is finished! Still some work to finish. New park skyline. Sunrise. Stunning result. Seen from different angle from the park. Topdown view your view when walking to Judgmentday from the Vintage main street. Full park skyline Also I have installed the Engine of Space and time in the fabrics of space and time section of Judgementday The engine of Space and Time. So now I will work around the whole Castle to finish the exterior and start the landscaping of the area around of Judgmentday. Hope to have an update sooner this time but it is still a lot of building to do. See you all next time

Hi there, Last weekend my 9 years old son asked me if I would like to create some single coaster project together as a sort of joint venture. When we where sleeping in on the saturday and sundays mornings he was working on a coaster design for a Mack Mega Launch Coaster. He showed me his work and it was quite impressive to be honest. Just if you know what creations has passed the last years it was in the range of 20 inversions and 14G's and everything in between. But this time he kept his calm and came up with only 10 inversions. (he compensated that with explosions) I gave him some tips on the banking in some turns but that was the only modification I spent time on with him. Two afternoons I have been working with him om the landscaping and special effects. Sunday evening he spend his time on editing an onride video with some guidence from me and this is what came out of it. Coaster by: Supernovae Jr. Theming by: Supernovae & Supernovae Jr. Enjoy! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Here some pictures of the joint venture project: Well I hope you like it. I had a lot of fun seeing him getting very creative and working together with him. To hear and see his prospective on a realistic coaster. This will not be our last joint venture if it's up to me!

Hello all, Short update but finally the first real result of "Judgment day" The ride. The "Heavens Coaster" has just had its soft opening and can be considered finished. "Heavens Coaster" is both an official ride and part of the scenery of "Judgment Day" The darkride in the "heaven section of the attraction. Through an entrance hidden in "Judgment Day" visitors can walk through the "heaven". This gives the darkride an experience that the "heaven" has been populated for some time. Moving images say more. Below the "soft opening" [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] "Judgment Day" itself is now in phase of the final points of the scenery of the ride itself. In the meantime I have also started building the central castle part on the outside. I will need a full month for this. After that, the effects and triggers can be fine-tuned and so start gently with the first recordings for the presentation. As I now estimate, "Judgment Day" can be opened in the spring with the opening of the new season of "Walk on the wild side" Themepark. Until the next update!

Hello all The last few weeks I have been able to build quite a bit on "Walk on the wild side" theme park with "Judgment Day" in particular. New state of affairs: After the smoke generators, the idea with "white" background + spotlights has now fallen. It gives a strange blinking effect was similar to the effect you got with RCT3, if you placed too much lighting close together. The desperation solution has become the round shape objects that you can adjust in all colors. The whole heaven is now filled with it. It is a solution but with smoke it really got better. However, I could have downgraded it to a photo project. And I don't want to make it after a year of work. Now it is again quite good in terms of fps. Unfortunately, the effect is less. Despite the clouds, the number of objects in the construction work is still limited at 25,000 units. Meanwhile also started on the central castle on the outside. The state of affairs on the outside: And here the "Heaven" scene: This week I had 2 videos of the park edited. the first is an onride of "Iron stomach" in evening setting. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] The closing for this update is an onride of "Boulderdash" in evening setting. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Thank you again for reading and watching. Have a nice day and see you back soon

Let it go... Let it go..... I jumped of the ready by Halloween schedule. To many details to be finished yet and it would harm the final outcome of the project. Quality above Quantity I prefer. A lot of problems with frame rate to solve and I have to come with a better idea for the use of smoke nuzzles to create a heavenly atmosphere in the Heaven section. Well heaven now is a place on earth. Or better: A place on "Walk on the wild side" Let me show some pictures. Up to the sky! Inside the mountain after the fabrics of space section you will be elevated trough the stairs of heaven to the heaven itself. Welcome to Heaven. some forced prospective in the back ground. The "heavenly coaster" Coaster station View inside of heaven before it will be closed and hidden in the mountain. In this last shot I deleted the smoke nozzles as they create an 1 fps on-ride experience. Instead I made the ground white and put some floodlights just under the surface. The visual outcome is not that good as with the smoke but it is reasonable enough to keep on going. Well that's about it for the moment. The heaven will be finished in the coming weeks. Inside triggers screens and other effects optimization will be next. Than still have to finish the exterior of the whole project. This could be an early 2020 ride if I have to estimate. Thanks for your attention. Any feedback, tips, trick or advise on fps improvement is welcome at the moment

HI dear readers, So now the summer season is ending the work on Wotws Themepark itself has been picked up again. First I started with "Iron Stomach" to light up for evening openings and was the last of the big coasters to get a light plan. Wotws the Ride and Predator from another view. Made a new waiting line area for Wotws the Ride. Iron Stomach dive loop. Some nice view. Total overview Total overview Inside the Island of Judgmentday I'm working on the next chapter of the story. The "something" part of the ride. For everyone who has been good and believe in something. Your creator will give you a look behind the fabrics of space it self. you can pick your own pixel there and reincarnate. I started to make some Space panels for the ride. Big and small ones Gassy ones. In practice panel In practice panel In practice panel Pick here your pixel. Every single one is a galaxy on it own. Retry life and be reseeded in the pixel by choice. Some building shots And that is the work done I can show up till this moment. Hope you like it

Thanks Canobie Coaster and Jynx242. It was a pleasure to share the day and to get all youre feedback. Good to know the time invested in this report was well spend!
