I always go for that beautifully smooth and reliable B&M known as Wildfire. That view over the hillside at the first drop is amazing. Then I like to hang out with an old classic... ThuNderaTion. Probably one of the best if not the best mine train coasters in the world. It's fairly intense for what it is too.

It's been said that whatever is coming will be a first of its kind and a huge attention getter. Lol Maybe it will be an unexpected debut of a B&M spinning wing coaster. A development like that would definitely step on the toes of S&S Arrow's 4D coaster design.

THAT would be a miracle I would rejoice over, and I am not religious. lol

Someone else finally mentioned it and described it perfectly that it's like "demoing your house when a breaker flips" if theme parks applied that sort of logic to their attractions all the time.

What really grinds my gears is the idiotic comments that can be seen on social media and on the news pages from the general public. It was more than likely a simple lift hill malfunction which is probably one of the least dangerous malfunctions to occur on a coaster, yet it is getting blown way out of perspective. Furthermore there are people up in an uproar actually calling for it to be closed and demolished as it is "unsafe" and a disaster waiting to happen. smh

Another local article on it here: http://m.newson6.com/story.aspx?story=32339128&catId=112042

Are you counting Thunderation? S&S and Arrow merged in the early 2000's. They took over its supply and maintainence for whatever the park cannot do and the common story from employees was that S&S inspectors were also partly responsible for making the park turn around the backwards coaster cars as they were not as Arrow had originally intended. Yes it's an Arrow built Coaster but I referenced it as S&S solely because they oversee Arrows surviving assets. As for PowderKeg yes the large helix and lift hill is leftover from the Buzzsaw Falls attraction. So it goes back to what I was saying that the park could benefit from an S&S coaster purely built from the ground up.

Yeah the signs and speculation have been more strongly pointing toward one of these lately, which I am on the fence about. I wouldn't mind them getting an S&S 4D Coaster though, the park already has a good relationship with them and currently has four S&S attractions including two coasters. I wouldn't mind seeing them get something original built from the ground up.

As much as myself and many others love B&M the current chatter is saying it is looking less likely to be one. The park could really use another B&M though, whether it be a wing coaster like the one at Dollywood or a Dive Machine. (which was hinted at in a recent survey)

ThuNderaTion is what I consider the worlds best mine train coaster. Not sure who gets the worst.

Zingo and Ozark Wildcat.

Hello all, I dusted off my old copy of RCT2 after finding some of my old game data with my saved games and coaster designs. I actually still got a few of SDC's big coasters and an unfinished park terrain layout that I recreated (prior to Outlaw Run). I played with the "sandbox mode" AKA roller coaster designer a bit and immortalized OzCat from Celebration City site in light of its demolition last year. I still got the skills after all these years not playing. lol Despite some differences (due to game limitations) from their real life counterparts, the game handles their general designs quite well. I was shocked when I consulted the RCDB and the coasters recreated in the game were fairly spot on with the specs. I have yet to figure out which designs I could use to remake Fire In The Hole or Outlaw Run, particularly the latter as RMC and their coaster designs didn't exist when this game was originally made. The former I would have to load into a scenario to build the enclosure and whatnot. ThuNderaTion Download I would have to load the coaster into an actual scenario to recreate the tunnel and build the connecting structures which enclose parts of the ride along and around the track. Probably the best Arrow mine train coaster in existence. http://themeparkreview.com/game_exchange/images/thumb/3235_SCR5.jpg Wildfire Download Pretty spot on here, but had to add a couple more trim brakes around the track or it would receive an ultra-extreme rating (bad for guests in the game) for the g-forces. http://themeparkreview.com/game_exchange/images/thumb/3234_SCR3.jpg Powder Keg Download The least accurate recreation from SDC. The game has no transfer track feature and it does not allow multiple trains or lift hills on a launched coaster so adaptations had to be made. http://themeparkreview.com/game_exchange/images/thumb/3236_SCR4.jpg Ozark Wildcat Download The centerpiece of the former Celebration City theme park that was right down the road from SDC, may she R.I.P. but remain immortalized and remembered here. This fantastic wooden coaster was probably GCI's top five best coasters. She went before her time. http://themeparkreview.com/game_exchange/images/thumb/3237_SCR2.jpg
