In theory I LOVE hyper-coasters ... In reality I have only ridden 2 (Goliath (SFMM) and Desperado)
Also, In theory I LOVE woodies, but my woodie count is rather thin as well.

^ I can name a bunch that are better than alot of recent B&M's, and they are all old.
Montezooma's Revenge (Knott's)
Viper (SFAW)
Greezed Lightnin' (SFAW)
Shockwave (SFOT)
Hell, Revolution (SFMM) was the best of the best until it got butchered.
-
I honestly don't remember. I went basically off of memory for most of the ride and tweaked it once I got the exact proportions.
I did the track originally before the woodie expansion came out so the supports were different. Once the wood supports came out I just added them on to make it look like a woodie. Well, except for the loop of course.
As for the lake, I'm not too into the environment thing. I just like to make rides. If other people want to add other stuff to the track after they download it, go for it.
-
I also have to go with Intamin.
Back in the day though, it would be Schwarzkopf hands down.

2 parks jump right out ...
As Elissa stated, SFAW is actually a nice park. I would certainly go back there.
Another one ... DCA. I just don't understand the flack this park gets. I love it.

Thanks for the comments. I just went off of memory and a couple of pics I saw at RCDB.
Yeah, I thought about the no trees thing after I posted it for download.
There were only a couple of trees by the corkscrews. Most were around the final turnaround.
Stupid Knott's, not only did they take out the Corkscrew but they took out the trees too.

This one is ALOT easier than the top 5 best:
Bad: Serial Thriller (SFAW)
Badder: Revolution (SFMM) Just for the fact that it was once a GREAT ride but has been butchered
Getting more bad: Boomerang (Knott's) the worst boomerang I have ever been on
Worser than the one before it: Psyclone: (SFMM) again, another ride that was once great
Worstest Ever: Manhattan Express (NYNY) and Robb has the video to prove it

Steel:
#1 - California Screamin' (DCA)
#2 - Mr Freeze (SFOT)
#3 - Xcelerator (Knott's)
#4 - Poltergeist (SFFT)
#5 - Goliath (SFMM)
Funny that 4 out of my top 5 are launched coasters.
Wood:
#1 - Rattler (SFFT)
#2 - Texas Giant (SFOT)
#3 - Giant Dipper (SCBB)
#4 - Judge Roy Scream (SFOT) just a fun ride!!!
#5 - Ghostrider (Knott's) pretty much by default

Kristi was my boss when we both worked at Target ...

Looks cool:
On that top picture, where does the slide end at? It looks like it runs right into the sidewallk.
The second picture doesn't have any waterpark stuff, so I'm assuming that's regular park expansion?
The third picture has a whirlpool, that's cool.

I don't like alot of those sites becuase they get too technical. If there is one little section of your ride that may be over the G's you people go off. If you don't use the latest Scenery objects, etc, people go off.
I prefer to just build good tracks and if people have a problem with that, it's their problem.

We used the Q-bot at SFOT last year and it was great.
We are going to SFOG in April and since we only have about 4 hours in the park we are going for the Q-bot Gold so we can make sure we get everything in, plus multiple rides on S:UF, GASM and others.
-
Not to speak for them, but I'm sure they will arrange some meets during some of their trips.
Of course, they really aren't all that fun to hang with.

April: Dollywood/SFOG
May (Was supposed to be):
Memorial Day Weekend - Midwest small parks trip (SDC, Magic Springs, Libertyland, Bells)But, because of the kids school stuff we will be doing instead:
Bay Area Trip: PGA, SFMW, SCBB, Bonfante (and Frisco stuff)
November: WDW, IOA, SWO, BGT
There will also be the normal SFMM, Knott's, SWSD, LegoLand days. We will hopefully get to Castle Park and the smaller SoCal parks this year as well.
I don't know if we will actually get to Disneyland this year or not.
Gregg "Who would like to do 1 other small trip this year" C.
-
Dude, SSL rocked!!!
I would have to say either Kingdom of the Dinosaurs or Journey to Atlantis (San Diego).
Not because they were necessarily so bad, but they had so much wasted potential.

Gregg: Camarillo, CA
I guess "Technically" SFMM is my home park, although USH is about the same distance.
-
Checked out the park today, I kinda liked it.
Cool idea for the Sky Coaster too ...
-
I don't think so ... too bad. They should have more.

Well, it's on the Swan Hotel, but you can see Epcot, well, mostly Spaceship Earth.
Enjoy.

Yeah, it's all true, we were like WTF!?!?!? Robb's hometown was the best ... Intamin, FL.
I was also a "Phone a Complete Stranger" that day as well.
