heya well im deffinetly glad that people can tell them what they are. it is probably possible to build these in RCT2 too. although at the moment there is no equivilant of the Codex trainer for RCT2. The 1st Gen freefall is pretty easy to pull off but getting the wooden supports to ignore the vertical track and appear anyway i think is impossible without Codex. I'm not well versed in RCT2 im afraid.

Hey all I know very few People here play LL but you dont need the game to post your thoughts. ive been working on some codex (the new ll trainer_) related fun tonight but im not sure if it conveys the point. Ive been working on 2 rides tonight. the aim is to get a realistic look and yet still make them rideable to the LL peep. so that leaves me with occasional compromises. Anyway i want you guys to look at these 2 screens and tell me what rides they are supposed to be. Both these rides exist in real life... if you get them right then i guess i have achived my goal. if not. then i need to work more Please note the complete lack of themeing/colour choice is not a representation of the finnished product However both are completly peep friendly

Coaster: Pyrenees at Parque Espana Park: Disney Sea

If no one minds ill throw one in

Great stuf Flip Dude. You manage to make me laugh while at the same time reminding me what a total geek i am to get some of those jokes

i'll chip in £10.... now do we have 300,000 members willing to pay $10 each for real estate in a country halfway round the world?

nice pics Himeji Central Park is supposed to of just got that relocated looper but as of yet ive only seen the pictures of the track in the parking lot. (if you look on google earth you can see the track on there too)

wow i didnt realise they had repainted great nor'easter to white. Those are all very pics. very vivid. what camera do you use?

Not much but thought it was worth posting Some boards and a crane have popped up Anyone else find it odd that the English is the main type face? more here http://www.geocities.jp/jwfdq632/pokkoriesdx/ko-suta-usj07.html

hee hee. im never sure weather to support or condone Banksy. Being from Bristol im probably on the support side mostly This one is just down the road from me back home. always raises a smile in the morning.

Nice little POV. i love the bit where the Gyro Swing bursts into view. never knew that thing was so large. The ride is shorter than i imagined but i love the launch into the indoor dome.

wow those videos were great. Its a pity the concept died. they had such great hopes for it. THe video does highlight arrows awfull transitions. I would love to see a full scale Intamin layout. but with only one out there i dont see it happening soon (although it took them years to flog a 2nd impulse)

on the video side of things http://www.shaabpark.com/rides/adults/spiralcoaster.html theres a video of the Intamin Spiral Coaster at its new home in Kuwait here.

http://www.tpv.be/Data/Attractie/3463/pic8_big.jpg check out this rendering of it. Its a pretty big investment for such a small park. hell my local co-op has a bigger car park. Just for reference ive included pictures of the shuttle mentioned here as i assume it will be along the same lines track wise. all photos thanks to PAX.

here you go all photos are compliments of Intamin these are from when it was in Korea the ride is run by wheels u can see around the track powering it along Its simple layout

If you mean the heartline coasters theres only one. Its at Al Sha'ab park in Kuwait. although it used to be at Lotte Sky Plaza in Korea. http://rcdb.com/id1604.htm I have plenty of pictures if you want.

A friend sent me this link the otherday said it was on some german forums. any idea on its authentisity? looks a little fake but fits what weve seen so far

Section 3 Loony toons Now what uve all been waiting for. After the mapping we headed back to madrid for a few days. Unfortunatly i was unable to convince my friends to come to the parks but i went anyway lol. first up was Parque Warner. Now this park really is in the middle of nowhere. i got the train out of Madrid's Atocha Station and headed south. i then changed on one stop along the way and took the next train direct to the parks very own station When i got there the park had just opened and i got almost straight in. I headed straight to Stuntfall only to be told the ride wouldnt open untill 2 that afternoon. Still feeling overjoyed to actually be at Parque Warner i headed straight down the street to Superman Superman Now i had heard great things about this ride and it was my first floorless so i had high hopes. The queue line is quirky but not amazingly well done but it gives a lovely view of the the ride leaving the station and heading up the lift hill. The Ride itself is superb and really benifits from a lack of MCBR. There appeared to be one trim i found noticible but it didnt really affect the ride that much. theres some air time to be had on both the drop and the airtime hill and the final 2 helixs are superb. Overall a great ride but slightly less great than i hoped. 8/10 As i was the only one in the station for about 5mins i got my first ride alone in the front. And the ride ops let me stay on for the next 3 rides untill a queue actually appeared. Next up i headed to Batman but there was also an attendent here saying the ride would open later in the day. So i made my way to the notorious Coaster Express and with no queue i hopped straight on to the back seat. Coaster Express Now ive heard awfull things about this ride. but i honestly didnt find it THAT bad. it was poor agreed and it really does five you a beating. I dont think ive seen cars shuffle like that before. :S. The layout although not a great ride is one of the most aestheticly pleasing ive ever seen. with its swoops and spirals. The cars themselves are quite comfortable but they really bump along on the bottom of the 2 main helixs. Overall an ok ride with a serious smoothness issue 5/10 After taking a pounding (from Coaster express not ryan) i headed over to the parks log flume. Again nice themeing and a few supprises on the way. Not a bad ride by any means. but it does get you wet.. Next up was the ACME river rapids. These rapids are superb. they not only get you soaked but the themeing is top class. and its one of the few rapids ive seen with the lift at the start and not the end. After this double soaking i headed to Batman. and was in luck. Empty station and straight on the front row. Batman Now these rides have always recieved rave reviews. And ive always wanted to ride one. And WOW now i know why they get those reviews. The sheer speed and power of the rides final section is awesome and the first half is no slouch either. The queue line is excellent but the station is a bit under done itself. This ride jumped straight to my number 2 spot behind Nemesis. Overall : a ride that deserves its status. 10/10 Next i tried the parks batman simulator. i may not of understood a word but the ride itself was pretty good. well worth a look. I then headed to the Haunted Hotel Themed ride. Now if anyones been on a Mad House they know what to expect. for me this was better than Hex but not as good as the one at De Efteling. ALso does anyone know the actuall story? i couldnt understand a word. After coming out of this i noticed Stunt Fall was testing, so i did something a coaster entusuast only does in a park and sprinted to the entrance (down some back ally) and jumped straight on Stunt Fall THis ride took me completly by suprise. Its superb. the ride was smooth and fast (although it does go slowly on the return cobra roll). it provides an amazing rush. The engagement of the 2nd spike is perfect and the trains although not amazingly comfortable do provide a nice ride. The one problem with the ride was its ride ops and the fact the park has blocked off several rows. (anyone know why?) other wise a near perfect shuttle coaster Overall: Much better than i thought it would be 9/10 I then headed over to the kiddie area to try out the kiddie coaster. I rate this higher than Coaster Express. Its a good ride for kids and it has enough themeing and drops to keep me entertained too . Credit Whoring? naaaah. I then tried the ride i was most scared of. Riddlers Revenge... THis thing is HUGE when the biggest one uve been on is Apochalyspe at Drayton Manor. It was in Space Shot Mode at the time which is a little less nerve wracking. the ride provides awesome views of the park and provided the longest queue of the day as they were only running one tower (10mins). As for the rest of the park. the food was pretty awfull but the staff were generally very helpfull and would always try and chat. The themeing throught is top notch and in places excells any ive ever seen. Overall for the park: 9/10 A must for any coaster entusiast and has plenty to entertain the family aswell. Madrids superb train station why did no one tell me it was that good? its open... RUN I LOVE this ride... we need one somewhere in the UK a photo inspired by R&E's last TR B&Ms in glorious harmony I bet no one has taken this shot before.... ever I even met this little fella Loony Toons Abound The ride does look the part Looks lovely, hurts like hell (not that ive ever been) in the interlocking corks. the ride roars down its first drop The obligotory lift hill shot The parks themeing is 2nd to none throughout The superman entrance area is very nicely done The whole entrance area is nicely done What crowd? Welcome

Right got the next lot sorted Section 2 Off to the mountains After our 2 days in madrid we headed to the Cantabrian Mountains in the north of spain to do our mapping. We stayed in a small town called "La Polla De Gorden" just north of Leon. The area is incredibly beautifull and features some of the most incredible terrain ive had to cross on my field trips so far. It all looks amazing but when you have to treck up over 1000m of mountain almost daily it gets quite annoying . fortunatly the with over 30 other students there from other unis such as Oxford, Dublin, Keele and Imperial (im from Southampton uni) there were always plenty of students around to socialise with in the evening. (thank god wines so cheap there) There may be no parks here but its an amazing part of the country. everyones really nice and the fiestas that occasionally grace the local towns usually have small fun fairs that are worth a go. Next up Parque Warner Me and my mates fancy dress costumes for a friends birthday (i'm a man upside down... (just put your finger over my head and ull see ) proof we made it up there on occasion but climbing up there was annoying. This is the highest peak we had at 1997m tall the area was truely stunning I promise we did some work My mapping partner and one of the areas many tunnels Welcome to the mounains My humble abode for over 5 weeks.

Howdy all I recently went to Spain for 6 weeks to do a mapping project for my dissertation at university (I am studying Geology and Oceanography). Of course i couldnt resist the temptation to goto some parks while i was there. I am going to split this report into 4 sections as i want to include a bit of everything. the first 2 sections wont be very park orientated but the last 2 will be all parks . you'll see as i go along. this is also the first TR ive ever written so bear with me on this Section 1: Madrid Mania Having Landed in Madrid me and my 3 mates had 2 nights to do some of the sights and get supplies. So of course having spent about 10mins buying supplies we decided to goto the zoo. Having taken the quite random Cable car out into the middle of the park we headed down the hill to the zoo. Little did i know but the route takes you straight past "Parque de Attraciones de Madrid". So close but so far. The rest of the day was spent seeing some various tourist sights and eating some very nice spanish food. Overall i found madrid to be a lovely city. it does seem to have a bit of a graffiti problem but the people are generally very nice and the zoo is well worth visiting. its quite large and although a few of the enclosures could do with being bigger/better maintained. i found the average standard pretty good. Ill set up the next sections as soon as i choose photos (i took well over 1000) In the end we returned to our not so large Room :S The Palace and their gardens were lovely too The Madrid Metro System is awesome. and nice and cheap I swear ive seen this guy in some TPR Trip reports before. So close... but so far... Me (Far Right) and my mates looking cheesy A Cable Car in a city. now thats cool. The Cathedral is very impressive Madrid has some interesting architecture. but unfortunatly not much of it.

Now that camp sites is cool.... is this park within striking distance of any other major parks? i dont often hear of it on any tours or trips?

BOO

You fools. theyre not getting torn down... someone just figured how to use the invisible track hack from RCT in real life... Maveric is actually finished already. you just cant see it.

What about powder keg? lol i havnt been following this much but its looking like a pretty unconventional layout at the moment. anyone remeber that launched Vekoma 10 looping coaster? maybe an intamin version of that?
