Sir Clinksalot

My initial major was Psychology. I then switched to Theology. Yeah, ME ... Theology. Ended up being History before I stopped going. If you just want a "Degree" go for Business Administration. It looks good on a resume.

I once played the triangle! I was only about 6!

Well, if you feel more comfortable using regular RCT3 so you go above the 7 that's fine. I really love the loop-into-helix too . And to just point out something from earlier in the thread. Using another coaster around the edges can affect the excitement on your main coaster. (For example, on Bocakey's I placed a Wooden Mouse around the 15x15 perimeter and it added a whole 0.2 to the excitement.) If you want to use rides as a guide, just remember to remove it before looking at the ratings. As an alternative, (at least in RCT3/Soaked!) painting the ground a different colour doesn't affect the ratings, so you could use that instead. (If you use concrete or tiles it paints to the grid too so it looks neat)

Yay! I've now uninstalled the evil evil Soaked!, and hey presto! I can suddenly make coasters that have an excitement rating of 7 or over quite easily. The one you can see below has an excitement rating of 7.29. When this same coaster was loaded into Soaked!, the excitment rating dropped to only 6.58. I'd just like to add that none of this makes any sense to me! Doing this made me feel much better as I was starting to believe that I really sucked as a coaster designer. At least I can get decent ratings now! Hope you like my new coaster! Any comments would be appreciated! Another shot of "Flying Lucy" (Named after my dog) Here is my "Flying Lucy" wooden coaster! My favourite part is where the helix goes through the loop. When you are riding it, it looks like you are about to get decapitated!

That's awesome. Some fun on the old family farm. And yeah, every family should have at least one adopted "brother". My best friend growing up was black and he was pretty much adopted. He still calls my Mom "Mom" to this day.

^^ You would think if they are going to be adding a coaster to the mountain that they would put a shop and maybe another restaurant. Then again, nothing opens before noon so maybe it wouldn't do any good. ^ You know where you turn the corner heading up to Ninja after taking the back side of the hill up? Where the Bathrooms and the Superman shop are? There is a building there, that's the old Eagles Flight station. The other station was at the foot of the Superman tower. Which is why they can't bring it back. I haven't been this interested in something going on at SFMM since ... well, pretty much forever.

^ OMG you said Serendipity?!?! I didn't know you liked that one! Kristi "another one of my favorites and I didn't even know my husband likes it!" C.

^ Had dinner at mommys < loves ^ very very much V Is going to bed soon

Wow, they have done ALOT in 2 days. Impressive. Part of me would be sad to see the sky tower go, I mean, it is an icon. But the other part of me figures if it's not ever going to open, blow that sucker up and put up a good coaster. Gregg "In all my visits to the park, I have never been up the Sky Tower" C.

Well, as it turns out it's nowhere near that clear cut! Which is unfortunate because it complicates matters a great deal. I'm discussing this with Crispy at the moment. Hopefully we'll have more info real soon !

^ I'm actually surprised she didn't say Titanic ... Ranking my favorite movies is hard. I like ALOT of different movies for ALOT of different reasons. So I will rank them by category: Action (what I classify as blowing s**t up, doesn't necessarily need a story): Kill Bill Vol. I and II Armageddon Under Seige Day After Tomorrow Independence Day Patriot Games Crimson Tide The Rock Pirates of the Carribean War (mostly action, but needs to have a story IMO): The Patriot (the one with Mel Gibson) Glory Full Metal Jacket Hamburger Hill Patton The Longest Day Saving Private Ryan Braveheart Drama: Swing Kids Forrest Gump Philadelphia On Golden Pond (something about old people in love) Dead Poets Society The Sixth Sense The Godfather Parts I and II School Ties Sci-Fi: Star Wars (all of them) The Next Generation Star Trek movies 2001: A Space Oddysey Close Encounters of the Third Kind The Matrix (Only the first) E.T. Aliens The Time Machine (1960) Planet of the Apes 12 Monkeys The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension Contact Comedy: All 4 Monty Python movies (Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, Holy Grail, And Now for something completely different) Blazing Saddles Young Frankenstein The Jerk Spaceballs Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut The Austin Powers movies Chick (yes, I actually like some chick movies): The Notebook Pretty Woman Serendipity Dirty Dancing (I always thought Jennifer Grey looked hot in this) Ghost Steel Magnolias Comic Book: Batman, Batman Returns and Batman Forever Spiderman 2 (didn't care for the first one) X-men and X2 Batman the Movie (1966 version) Superman 1 and 2 (although 2 was better IMO) Blade Men in Black Kids: Shrek 1 and 2 All of the Pixar movies Fox and the Hound Lion King Beauty and the Beast Alladin The Rescuers Pinnochio Fantasy: Lord of the Rings Trilogy Harry Potter Legend Ladyhawke Goonies Neverending Story Willow Godzilla Vs. Mecha-Godzilla I know there are probably more I'm not thinking of.

Bring back Eagles Flight!!!!

^ How did you know??? Oh wait ... also, I can't see your avatar or title ... weird ... < Not secretly in love with ^ ... is actually in love with ^ V In love with somebody

^Wrong about brushing teeth! V Watches Jimmy Neutron

^ it is a "special" one that Elissa made up for me due to me being on the Atkins diet... Kristi "go ahead and make all the comments you want, the diet works!!" C.

OMG that food looks SO good!! I can't wait until Sept 23 when we eat there!!! Your doggy is cute too...looks like our old dog that died a few years ago.. Kristi "misses Buffy " C.

I agree^, it is quality not quantity....8/10 Kristi "doesn't want to see what people are going to say about mine!" C.

The Fairly Oddparents theme song.. Kristi "my music consists of cartoon music!" C.

^^ So, if there is a 0.8 difference, then shouldnt i be aiming for 6.2 and not 6.4 excitement? Either that or maybe i should get rid of soaked to make it a fair challenge!

Currently on my desk: Genesis - The Lamb Goes down on Broadway Rush - 30 Years Strong (Bootleg from last years tour) Buddy Rich - The Best of Buddy Rich (the pacific Jazz years) Buddy Rich - Burning for Buddy (Buddy Rich tribute) Bela Fleck - UFO ToFu Foo Fighters - In your honor Beastie Boys - License to Ill Smashing Pumpkins - Adore Presidents of the USA - (mixed album) Tool - Undertow Modest Mouse - The one that Wes gave me, I've decided to give it another try ... we shall see Radiohead - Pablo Honey

Band: Genesis Album: The Lamb Goes Down on Broadway Song: The Chamber of 32 doors (The last song on Disc One) Such an awesome song, and an awesome album.

^ Good Burger huh ... Come on, admit it, you LOVED the movie. Gregg "Thinks we need start a bad movie thread and that should be the top movie on the list." C.

Sounds like fun. I love traditional amusement parks, I just haven't been to alot of them. Maybe we need to check out Ocean Park for our trip next month. Still looking for 'something' to do on Saturday night. We may end up back at BGW that night or something. Not sure.

Didn't Henry Rollins ruin EVERYTHING that he touched? I'll just go ahead and say anything by Limp Bizkit ... I've only heard what they play on the radio, but I'm assuming that's the best they have ... which is VERY sad.
