Poison - Alice Cooper

Someone who works at the Vekoma plant in the Netherlands has posted some interesting stuff about the ride here. Most important is that the capacity of this coaster will only be around 350pp/h, due to the park's choice of 1 train with 2 coaches. The model can support a maximum of 2 trains with 3 coaches, with a maximum capacity of 800pp/h (slightly better than a boomerang or Invertigo). Another intersting remark is that this ride will feature newly designed trains. In the old models, the train's seats go up and down inside the station before departure or after arrival. With this new design the seats will be up in the station, and they will only go into flying position after the departure. When the train hits the brakerun, the seats will start to go up. This will reduce boarding time and thus increases capacity.

So as one might expect, construction has started on this coaster. Actually quite alot has already been erected. Notice the delicious first drop

Yeah I agree with the theming remark. The point is that it's difficult to theme something Wild West because there just aren't many things in a wild west landscape (ie houses, trees, etc.). And the wild west scenery pack doesn't contain many objects. I also deleted the floorless, built another coaster and added more theming to the ride. The floorless coaster just didn't feel right IMO so that's why I deleted it.

It's dry and sunny, but there's alot of wind and it's soo cold, I think it's freezing.

Hey all Here's another attempt of me trying to make a park. I chose the Wild West theme for this one. Here are some pics. Another view of the floorless coaster The floorless coaster, with mine train-style theming Random rides and theming This coaster is pretty entangled! Another view of Dustwind The park's other wooden coaster, Dustwind Second part The first part of the wooden coaster Sandstorm This mine coaster is short but there's always a line (due to poor capacity ) The monster trucks with mine theming Here's the log flume with a car ride The entrance

The last week of school!

"I like turtles"

I was scared when we first rode Expedition Geforce this summer. I was scared of that twist in the first drop and the height. But after 2 rides I loved it. I think that's with most rides, if you ride them more than once you'll probably end up having lot's of fun.

Wow I didn't even knew children could make these horrified faces! I actually feel bad for santa.

I've been on Troy. That is all

"Holy fuckin' sht, it's a dinosaur, Jezus Christ what the fuuuuck..." LMAO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEn5E-T3s_Q&feature=PlayList&p=9BC05F17F9EAE4C5&index=2

Mine was on Superman - La attraccion de Acero at Parque Warner. There were so little people in the park that the ride ops insisted that we stayed on the train. So I rode it 14 times in a row. But on the 14th ride I immediately felt nausious on the first drop and I had to really keep myself from throwing up. Afterwards I had to sit down for 20 min. before I could even walk again.

Both are very intersting rides. But the Eagle coaster looks very expensive for a family coaster. Like said before, the design of the trains are somewhat like the one's on X and Eejanaika so they will likely be kind of rough. But this is a family coaster with moderate speeds so I think it will be all right.

I'm waiting for Christmas!

So Vertigo Force will be a Morgan Gigacoaster, 190km/h and more than 4km? That's just insane! I wonder how tall this thing must be with those specs.

No, there's a storm raging right now but it's only rain. Do you like breakfast?

Don't want to sound rude but where's the info?
