You should get some cargo shorts and put your stuff in velcro/zipper/buttoning pockets.

^^^I hope you're right about the weight distribution thing. If that's the issue, the ride ops should be more careful about balancing the cars. I was in a bit of pain after bumping my head on the headrest in the last helix! P.s. I'm glad to hear they're building an Intamin Halfpipe (OMGZ! <3 halfpipe) in the center fountain area - that thing is such an eyesore!

I tried to thin up the top hat a bit on Xcelerator, but all the laterals went into the yellow (and truthfully, I just don't have the patience to screw up the supports and remake them.) So here's the download - enjoy! Xcelerator Re-Creation.nltrack

That's what I was thinking - considering I sat in the same place both times. However, you could see the bumping in mostly every car when the riders were jerked around (and not just because of the spinning)

That's really neat how the drop tower changes its program, but it would really suck if you were expecting a panoramic ride and got the yo-yo!

Hmm... I don't know - at the point each track segment ended and joined with another one, a rather violent bump occurred. (Don't get me wrong - I LOVE the park at MOA, I was just expecting more from TT)

Well, I just got back from our trip to Mini-Soda tonight (sorry - no photos!) and was VERY disappointed with their 2004 Gerstlauer spinning coaster, Timberland Twister. The ride jerked and bumped at every joint and caused headaches from all the head rattling - it was almost as bad as an Arrow corkscrew! Are all Gerstlauers like this or does MOA just have a horrible construction crew? After riding this, I'm a little worried to get on their new Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter next year. (No hints of construction, yet.) Thanks, Golfie

I just find it funny how someone always screams "Oh SHIT" at the crest of Raging Bull's lift.

Ooh that Batman must've been odd to ride. Everything was opposite. Silver Dollar City looks amazing - I hope I can go there sometime soon!

We spent more than 1.5 hours trying to update my Grandparent's Mac's version of flash last night. Whatever happened to user friendly? 'nuff said.

Ratatouille looks cute (as does ANY Pixar movie), Evan Almightly looks freaking hilarious, and transformers is just plain awesome.

Wait... I thought Mythbusters proved that you can't get killed by a cable snap? (I know she didn't get killed, but she got her freaking legs cut off!)

That totally ruins the crazy, out of control feeling the lift gets you - before, the train would just go barreling through that turn and only give you a few seconds to actually think about what you got yourself into. This sucks.

Personally, I'm starting to get overly tired of rocket coasters being made on NL... why don't you have something like a hyper coaster or looping coaster contest?

NOT AT ALL! We need a classic TV personality... preferably a male (no offense, females) who adds charm to the classic feel of the show. Rosie just doesn't fit the mold!

^Great theming! Well done. I love how you made borders around the queue and how clean the area looks.

Flying is one of the most mild things you'll ever do... it's the same as accelerating in a car. The only "stomach feeling" you have is while landing - even if it does occur, the sensations are miniscule and just feel like you're jumping. When the plane first lands on the runway, it's a little rough, but nothing bad at all. Your friends don't know what they're talking about!

We watched that in florida 5 times over and over while the start of the hurricanes came through... then the power went out and I almost shat myself.

Could you provide us with some more specifics? (size, color, what you want us to include, text, etc.) I might try it if I can get a better idea of what you'd like.

Why did you HAVE to put it on Google video? I get the WORST quality on there because of my widescreen.

If you do it by hand (like I do), the helixes can turn out just great. Make a consistent turn by moving the mouse at a 45* angle (one dot up/down, one dot left/right). Once you've reached the size you want, make a vertex there and adjust the vertices so the turn is smooth. Then move to either frontal, back, or side view and move the node you just made up or down. Adjust the nodes so the turn rises at a consistent angle. Don't get frustrated - you'll need to make MANY coasters and have a bunch of practice before you become a great designer - I'm still working on it!

Eric, try putting them in a .zip folder and uploading them - that should do the trick.

I just used RCT2 & RCT3 just before... on VISTA! Eat that, Vista haters. So yes, it does work.

Never ridden it, but I THINK that Kumali at Flamingoland is "smooth as a baby's bottom!"

Sorry my first re-creation isn't perfect. I tried my best, and moving the enitre thing would make a mess. Also, had you been reading the thread, you would know that I already added the crossbar.
