CP_RULES

Good to hear its being re-tracked, but why do it in the middle of the season? I really hope it opens for a little tomorrow, I think its a great ride!

Here is that on-ride photo from The Boss:

The day started out with me waking up early in the morning and making the short trip to my friend’s house. There I waited for some of my friends relatives to show up, and then we were off. My friend’s family is from Brazil so they spoke Portuguese the whole two hour drive to SFStL. With my limited Spanish vocabulary, I picked out words and phrases to try and figure out what they were saying. It was thee only thing to do to keep me occupied. Finally, we got to the park. We arrived about 30mins prior to opening, which was good because Stephanie’s (my friend) family needed to buy tickets. We waited at the gate for about 20mins and then the park opened. Stephanie and I went by ourselves straight to Batman:TR. Batman The Ride/ Walk-on/ Back row- Stephanie had never ridden Batman anywhere but in the middle. I told her to ride the back and she was a bit nervous. Its been a while since I have ridden Batman, and there were a few things I had forgotten… 1- How damn forceful it is (especially in the back). 2- How loud it is! Anyways, Batman delivered as always- 10/10 Our theory was that we should ride all of the coasters (except Mr. Freeze which was down) before it started to get packed. Next we went to Ninja. Ninja/ Walk-on/ Back seat- Stephanie said she had always ridden this in the front seat and I told her to ride it in the back seat because it gives major airtime. She agreed and ended up liking the back seat better than the front. I also showed her how to ride without head banging. She didn’t know it, but she was really learning a lot of coaster tid-bits from me. Ninja had great airtime in the back as always, but was a little rougher than I remember. Also, Ninja is in major need of a paint job. You can see the red paint coming through from when it was red! Overall, I still have a soft spot for my first looper- 7/10 Superman Tower of Power/ 5min wait- Stephanie was VERY persistent that she did NOT want to ride SToP, but I made her ride it and it was pure bliss. She loved it and I did too. The only thing is I wish the sensation lasted longer. Definitely a great addition to SFStL! 9/10 Screamin’ Eagle/ Walk-on/ Back seat (Blue train)- I had remembered from last year that the blue train on Eagle was faster, and the back seat had the best airtime. However, Eagle was not at all what I remembered it. We rode the back seat of the blue train and I got practically no airtime. Also, the ride seemed rougher than last year. The only improvements I found since last year was the new paint job, and the smoother stop into the final brakes. 7/10 Boss/ Walk-on/ Second-to-last car (back row)- Stephanie had never ridden Boss before and she really liked it. We did a cool pose for the camera and I bought the picture. Boss really isn’t that rough. Aside from the brutally under-banked turns, the ride has some good air and is pretty fun. 8/10 River King Mine Train/ Walk-on/ Very back seat- This ride is what it is and always will be: boring. All it is, is a bunch of lift hills, and a few helices. The only fun part of the ride is the slight airtime gotten in the back seat from the large drop into the tunnel, definitely a lackluster ride. 4.5/10 Excalibur/ Walk-on- This ride is, and always has been fun. The forces are cool and so id the view. The only thing I didn’t like was the stupid ride op trying to get everyone to play “Marco- Polo” while on the ride….STUPID! 7.5/10 The Log Flume/ 5min wait- Apparently, SFStL’s log flume got a new name this year (along with some new cheap looking signage). Wasn’t it Ice Mountain Splash last year? Anyhow, the ride was very boring and anti-climactic. 6/10 Batman The Ride/ Walk-on/ Front row- Not as forceful in the front, but still a great ride. 9/10 After this we walked over to Ninja, and as we entered the queue, we heard a loud BANG! When we got into the station, a foreign guy explained to me that they were having a computer problem and he didn’t know how long it would be. I stayed and talked with him about Ninja for a couple minutes and then decided to come back later. Batman The Ride/ Walk-on/ Back row- I got tunnel vision after the first drop and throughout the loop this time…god I love the back seat! 10/10 Ninja/ Walk-on/ Back seat- Pretty much the same as the time we rode before… man I love that Vekoma airtime! Superman Tower of Power/ 10min wait- This time the wait was longer, and once again Stephanie had to be dragged on the ride. However, she once again loved it, but swore to me she wouldn’t ride again. 9/10 After this we were waiting to meet up with Stephanie’s family to eat lunch, but we had some time so we decided to go to Screamin’ Eagle. When we got into the station we were next for the red train, but I wanted the blue train. We let some man and his daughter go in front of us. The red train progressed up the lift but the blue train wouldn’t budge out of the brake run. They stopped the red train on the lift and we waited for maintenance to come. They got the blue train to move and the red train finished its run. Just think, that could have been me stuck on the lift! Anyways, the crew said they had to test her for a while so we decided to go meet up with the rest of Stephanie’s family, we were out of time. Superman Tower of Power/ 15min wait- This time Stephanie didn’t ride. 9/10 Next we ate Papa Johns. The Boss/ Walk-on/ back seat- Stephanie didn’t ride this time since she had just eaten. And since I had no one next to me, on the turn coming back towards the MCBR, I was leaned all the way over with my head in the seat next to me from the forces. Anyway, it was a fun ride, nice air on the first drop. 8.5/10 After that, we decided to go to Hurricane Harbor.I was really disappointed in the line for Tornado, I have never ridden it all the times I have been to SFStL, and I was once again denied the…credit? Anyways, first I went to the wave pool. Then I went down the red speed slid. Then I went down the green speed slid (wow). Then I went down the turquoise, then red tube slide. Then, once more, I went into the (slippery) wave pool. After doing all of this, Hurricane Harbor became very boring and we went back into the park. Batman The Ride/ Walk-on/ Front row- 9/10 Batman The Ride/ Walk-on/ Back row- 10/10 By the time we were leaving (around 6:00), I could see that SToP was running a different cycle. It was too bad as it looked more fun than the cycle I got to ride…oh well. After we left, we drove into downtown St. Louis and by the new Cardinals stadium. Then we went by the arch and headed back home. We stopped off at the Mid-Rivers mall exit and ate Olive Garden. After our delicious dinner, we headed all the way home. Park operations were great all day. Batman was running two trains, Boss was running 2, Ninja was running 2, the mine train was running 2, Eagle was running 2, and all of the coasters had great operations (except Ninja). Batman and Boss had exceptionally great operations. There was some new park signage around the park. Also, Tidal Wave, Thunder River, and The Log Flume got new logos that looked as if they were made in Microsoft Word. There was something that looked like construction happening by Tidal Wave and SToP, maybe the location of the new coaster for 2007? I really hope its something big. SFStL really has been the SF park that hasn’t gotten any care in a while. Its kind of sad to see the best ride at a park be B:TR (even though it IS a great ride). PICS!! ^Stephanie! ^Batman from Ninja. ^Hi, Im a Vekoma. If you ride me, Ill bang you! ^Where the train is in this picture is where the ride pounds you the worst...=( ^W00t for Intamin freefalls from SFAW! ^The teming was...great. ^Aint she pretty? ^This is just about when they start the tacky Superman music and press the green button to start the ride. ^Everyone has this pictue.... ^The double up! Everyone has this one too.... ^Everyone also has this one... ^And this one. ^Poor Mr. Freeze. ^ I wish you were open. ^One of few flat rides at the park, but atleast its good! ^The best part of the flume...and it doesnt get you wet! ^This is where the two logs fight to get through. ^Is there a Derek in the house?

I am going to WOF on tuesday and my friend said the last time she went, Timber Wolf was down. Does anyone know if it was down for a small reason or if it will be open on tuesday? I would really like to know as I find this ride to be great fun despite the roughness. Any information at all would be great.

I have made multiple attempts of this ride on No Limits, but in my quest for complete accuracy, none of them are complete. You can have them if you want.

Im not so sure I can finish my recreation by the 30th, but I sure would like to stay in this contest. Any chance of an extension? Latest screenshot:

I made a small amount of progress on my Batman: TR recreation today. Im having fun in this challenge, it is indeed very challenging to recreate a ride. My recreation is not the best, but its fairly good for my first try. Okay, I know you're tired of me rambling so here are the pics: EDIT- I added this recreation to my NLDC page. Visit it here. I like this picture.

When I said "horrible track options" I was not talking about the options of the competition, I was speaking of the lack of flexibility in RCT3. They dont allow you to be very creative with your elements. Also, kenshinmac, why are you being so rude to goleafsgo? Everytime you have posted in this thread it has been to rant about something that is so little, it makes you look like an idiot. -Justin "It was getting annoying" Seabaugh

I really dont like competitions in RCT3, the booting up, and horrible track options make me want to scream. I might be interested in this one though, Ill get back to you.

I have a problem with the rule that it must have 6 inversions. You should let everyones creative wings flutter. How about a minimum of three, and a maximum of seven?

^Yep, Oasis Park has a contract with Vekoma and currently has four brand new custom models. One more is in the works, but keep it on the down low.

This post is just to let everyone know, that after being on hold for a little bit, Oasis Park will be resuming updates soon. A lot has happened since this park was introduced. New rides, coasters, theming, landscaping, shops, and stalls have been added. In contrary, one thing was removed. Mdjai was removed due to high maitenence costs, its parts will be scrapped for the parks other Vekomas. I wont get into detail yet, Ill save that for the next update, but heres a little sneak peak at whats been happening: Oh yea! The park has opened too!

Im not into RCT3 competitions, but Ill judge!

I never really thought about that! In a way, these are coasters. They have a lift, drop, break run, and station, they run on track, and are full circuit... Hmmmmm.

Im not so sure driving through New York City is the best idea, maybe a detour around it? That is, if you have been there before or dont care to see it.

I have only been stuck on Screamin' Eagle at SFStL (break run). Apparently some fat guy's restraint woulnd open, so we had to sit there for like 20mins waiting for the crew to come in an release his restraint. But it was all cool, I got an exit pass which was handy for skipping an hour and a half wait for Freeze.

While SFStL's Gotham City really only has two rides in it, (B:TR, and Joker INC.) I think it is pretty well done, especially in the B:TR queue. Im not saying its the best, but its fairly good for a park that Six Flags doesnt care about.

I think you should use ShyGuys's Alpine Villiage set on this park, though I know you dont like to use custom scenery, I think it would fit well. Anywho, this park looks great as always.

I voted no because recreations in RCT3 would be simply impossible, the track possibilities just arent there.

Never had a blackout, but I did get tunnel vision for the first time in the back seat of B:TR at SFStL last Sunday (July 9, 2006 I think).

No.

My turn!!! ....Name this park! (Should be easy for certain peeps)

^GL.

I really like Condor so far, the entrance is really cool too..... UPDATE UPDATE! Lol.
