hyyyper

I'm sorry, i still have to go to school then, the school won't let me take days off for work, so as it is now, i'll be working weekends and vacantions only just tell me when, i'll let you know when and where i'll be working

i love Rollovers/Seaserpents, the high G on the first half loop, and full inverted cork and a strong half loop down

in other words, yesterday was my first day of work at Toverland, you know that little park that opened just 5 years ago with the boosterbike. The day started crap, it was raining cats, dogs, and who knows what else, and Toverland is only 5 miles away, it still means i have to go 20 minutes tru the rain and getting soaked. Anyways, soaked as i am i walked into the cantina, which is like u see them at construction sites, and when i asked why they didn't have a solid one, they said it is because of future expansions. So i got introduced to everyone, and got a piece of cake (literally, becauee Toverland existed 5 years). As soon as i got my schedule for the day, i noticed that i would be operation the vekoma minetrain for the 1st two and a half hours. As i walked with the one who was gonna teach me how the push the green button and i asked her (yes, the Toverland employees are 70% women) why they called it 'boomerang' and she said like OMG are you one of those coasterfreaks....[lol]. So the first two hours i was fitting fat germans in the vekoma mine train. then got a half hour brake and went to work at the waterslides. The first hour i was at the landing site putting people's boats on the conveyor belt and escorting of the site. The 2nd hour i was upstairs 'dropping' the boats, which was kinda fun and i learn that the boats only can have 100 kilos, which reminded me to dirk, who was 120 or someting. bad boy dirk. The last 3 hours i would be making half hour switches between the appel coaster who has a lenght of 36 meters! and a small merry-go-round outside. Suddenly it was 18:00 and we all got to clean up the park, which was done in an hour. Meanwhile, my feat were trying to kill me because i was standing for 9 hours (almost) straight. And as soon as i got home i put on a stargate and got myself some shoarma. anyways, next up is May 28

1. Will Six Flags (overall) ever build mega-coasters again? Perhaps, perhaps not, IMO they will be building more rockets and compact layout coaster, as well as more unique elements. And mini hypers afcourse 2. Which parks/owners will rise to the top and dominate the market (Disney, Paramount, Anheuser-Busch, Six-Flags, Universal, CF)? SF, just because of having the most parks and this new guy, (shapiro?) in charge along with Disney, because it's hard to lose such a good image 3. In your opinion, do YOU envision any merger among the mega-park leaders? No, perhaps parks will be buyed and sold, like the european parks, but no merger 4. What are the next generation of rides and what is the future of new rollercoasters? Intense, unique and compact layouts, more rockets 5. If you are a new board member/park owner, what is your OWN vision of the themepark industry? What new ideas will you develop to gain market-share (new guests) and increase profits. Building new types of coasters than are still unkown (i.e. vekoma motorbike) theme them, but not to much hide the coaster (black mamba) and spread the coasters over the parks 6. Do you believe in the parking fees? Yes, but they shouldn't be highrising, i'd rather see and "the closer you park your car to the entrance, the higher the price" 7. What will be (projected) entry fees in 3-5 yrs? Will you still go? I don't know what they are right now, but i think of a rise of $1-$2 per year so between zero and $10 after 5 years, and yes i would still go

jup, problems here with me too, wws seems to go on- and offline at random....

nope they had 10 but was reduced to 8

wws and cc are online once again

it used to have front and back seating, but those trains where shipped to la vibora SFOT and the new sidebysides were put on

Actually, there have been some looping coasters without up-stop wheels! One was the Flip Flap at Atlantic City, and the G forces were so high that it broke people's necks. I read in history books that a looping coaster was invented in France in the 1800's, and it wasn't until the 1970's when Arrow came out with the sucessful corkscrew coaster, as well as when Anton Schwartzkopf came out with the Revolution that still stands at Magic Mountain. Here's some links about the history of looping coasters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_%28roller_coaster%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corkscrew_%28roller_coaster%29 you're completly right, i should have said sideways inversions and more powerfull elements

1. If one person doesn't, the other one will. You don't have to be an einstein to develop the early coaster. Perhaps it would have taken several years longer, but eventually the same level of coastering was going to be achieved 2. Top, bottom and side wheel assembly's, thus making inversions possible 3. More unique elements, layout, better use of space, i hope a floorless hyper

hmm...that's the 3rd time is a short time, i hope they give WWO some other decent coaster, couldn't care less

then why don't just say you worked on it for only one hour?

3 hours for the tunnels? i can do i ride twice the lenght in one hour

does it actually work, or are they plain 3ds from the tunnelmaker?

i don't have AIM

i do, but it would be illegal to tell you, at least via this site

If you're going for coasters, NL is the game to buy, the coaster be manipulated into the centimeters, while rct3 has tiles of meters there is also a smooth 3d view, fly around, you can dispatch the coaster yourself, lot's of additionel software for creating scenery, enviorments and cartextures. Also the option of creating your own support structures like those of millennium for or topthrilldragster be remember that NL is not the easiest game to learn, orientating will be hard in the beginning and making smooth tracks is quite hard, but will come with practise, don't be afraid to make mistakes

wrong link and the map appears to be somthing i draw during boring lessons for my NL projects, some idiot forgot that april fools was on the 1st and not 3 weeks later

boosterbikes, yes 4d's, no anyways, i did find a place to get the game for free, but since i already bought it 2 years ago, the place wasn't very usefull

NL pwns rct3 big time

my coasters are perfect, they don't need editing

Mine's done: Talos.zip TALOS

that's gonna be an easy victory

here's mine sofar screenie

dunno if this is the right forum, feel free to move it if it's not correctly located I'll be visiting PhantasiaLand 24th of june this year and hope to ride BlackMamba, if you are planning a trip also, perhaps you can make it that day I'm already composing a mail to send to phantasia, to ask permission for a POV of blackmamba, so who knows....
