Theme Park Review's 2007 Group Trips!
DATman replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, I hope everyone who goes on these has fun! I would love to go, but I miss the going alone date by weeks. Not that much of a big deal, as I can go on a 2008 trip (if these aren't too much of a headache for R&E to do) on my own. So good luck to all the people who sign up for these! I hope that very few get rejected, as these trips look amazing! -

Triangle hills doesn't deserve to be # 3. Or even # 100... -

The Wii has Mario. Nuff said. -

It was an okay song, especially the bit about needing money to buy outrageous things, but it'd be wierd to sing along to, so it isn't really that great...

Except that they'd need to have 15 because of the Japanese 4D... -
Turbo Drop or Space shot??
DATman replied to c0@ster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I voted for space shots, as their newer ones are great! Maliboomer is just insane... The older ones are pathetic though (Power Tower). Supreme Scream is great and all, but Maliboomer gives a more intense ride and has some great ejector air! -
^Yeah.... I just use their support builder and don't really edit it, as it's more about the ride than supports, but I can see where you're coming from.

What Coaster Is this?
DATman replied to stormrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I adored that ride when I went to Vegas. I was so sad when I heard that the park closed. It was such a fun place... Quick! TPR fundraiser!!! Let's buy it and donate it to whatever housing development paves magic mountain! -
^yeah. Those trees are so hard to work with! But I guess I could've done better. I'll go back and fix that...

^The company just changed owners. That does not affect the rides they have previously built at all. Most of the pople who worked on the new 4D will remain in the company (if there is any downsizing at all). -
Race through the trees on the wildest ride of your life! Wolf is an Intamin Woodie with a vengance. Just as you think this ride is winding down, it starts right back up again, screaming through a large forest with trees flying past. A few large hills and fast turns make this ride one that its riders won't easily forget! Pics! Drop out of Station Pre-lift bit First Drop Wolf.zip

It was a fun ride! The air hills owned, but you forgot to change it to a wooden type of coaster... One of the hills killed me, but that's easily fixed. Good job!

Well, if it isn't an aqua trax, it won't just be a regular rocket. They will have done something different with the cars. (still thinks it's an aqua trax) -

^I actually did a little bit of work on this ride, to show you how your hills could've been, as well as your turns. I edited the brake run so that it would be a block, and added 10 seconds on to the waiting in the station time, so that the block wouldn't slow the train down. I let the train stop at the second brake segment (final brake run) instead of the rist, so that it can slow down better and pass that first segment (to release the block). I also worked a little bit on the lift and with heartlining. El Bandito.zip -

Gary Sinise says it is an aqua trax. -
^ The Chiller is closed for the season... Hopefully El Toro isn't taking 4 minutes to load trains when you go! Use Flash Pass!!! I regret not using it when I went, as it was crowded beyond belief.

Thank heaven! After riding my first Screamin Swing (Skyhawk), I was hoping you guys would be around to make more of your awesome rides! -

While the first half of the ride was great, the second half seemed too drawn out, and the air hills without air. A lot of your hills could've had steeper pull-outs, and you really only need nodes at the top and bottom of the hills (see my ride, Wicked). The airless hills should've been smaller and tighter, your overbank should've been a little lower, and the turnaround should have not passed 80 degrees (it felt like over 90, even though it was only 90). You have potential, you just have to work at it. -
Lift-hill coasters versus launched coasters
DATman replied to AndyGiles's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You couldn't do TTD's drop... Both have their limits and uses. Apples and Oranges, eh? -
Besides, if you say that because this one is shorter, it is worse, then you forgot about the long helix that didn't really do much and seems to be missing from this one. The vertical drop over the lake will own, as the drop on SFDL's SRoS was awesome, and this one is with a 90 degree drop/floorless car. The floorless car will do more than a lot of you expect it to. Look at X... That drop rules.

^^^Sorry to be nitpicky, but it uses LIMs instead of LSMs. Intamin hasn't used LSMs since Superman and that one in Australia (correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 90% positive that's right...). -

^owned. (you just made my day!) Here's an idea! Let's wait until the damn things announced before we say anything, because half of the time, you will be wrong.
