neat pics. you do have a beautiful city.

^^ yeah really. make it a little more obvious.

nah, I'll pass.

I'm not bored yet. nice video - short, but sweet. Stephan is cute as hell. sorry you've been banned from some of the smaller rides. NM Rattler looks awesome. that first drop looks sweet! you need more pictures of yourself enjoying the park. frito pie? different.... so you didn't ride the Galaxi coaster? you non-credit whore. cool pics! I'm enjoying them. I'm sure others are too.

Green Bay lost to Tampa Bay AT LAMBEAU FIELD! what the heck is wrong with my boys this year?!

My day was...ugh...a headache at first. Woke up late, got caught up in some online drama, stepped away from it to get ready for work only to find the city outside working on the pipes so I couldn't shower so that put me further behind. get to work, things get better, work is decent tonight, make some good sales. now I am just chillin' here waiting for 11:30 so I can book it to the grocery store before they close at midnight. mmmm..on second thought..maybe I could just go to the 24-hour super wal-mart instead. or just go tomorrow since I still have leftover tacos from last night. decisions, decisions... but..may day started on an off-note, then got better.

So now that I bought the 2 expansion packs for RCT2 (only 19.99!) I decided, why not..let's do some park building. Well, for the sake of my computer this park is only 50x50..but that's plenty big for me to create. I instantly fell in love with the South American theming so that was my plan with this park. It's located in the deeper mountainous jungle with rivers running past 2 sides of the park. With the park being so mountainous most of my coasters and water rides are underground...but I can show off whatever is above ground! Sure some of the flat rides don't really fit into a South American theme but..whatever..not everyone can ride coasters in this game (weirdos). So let's get to the tour! (many apologies to dialup users..you'll see why) First an overall park view: um, as you can first tell, the top-left of the park isn't done. I finished building the coaster and mountain around it before saving...so that's still left to work on. but..yeah...it's not a flat park. I got this idea of raising the elevation from a link in the Buildings 101 thread and I thought I would give it a try. also as you can tell there's buildings! I'm going to show off 2 of those next because this is a first for me. Ok, there's a total of 4 coasters in this pic. 2 above ground, 2 that start above and go underground. I'll get to that in a bit. But first...check these two out. I built these!!! After a brief introduction to buildings from the Buildings 101 thread, adn armed with my mouse and keyboard I thought I would give it a shot. First is this temple located pretty close to the center of the park. I made this! It's sooo cool!! I know, some of you are thinking "okay, it's a building." no no...it's more than just that. it's a building I made! It only serves a decorative and (theoretically) historical purpose, but I'm so proud of it. ..and then there's big ol' building #2 which houses the station for one of my coasters. I actually built this before the one above it. but it's still really cool and I love it! Okay, onto more of the park now that I got that out of my system. Here's the front entrance. notice all the cool buildings that Allie made herself!! (and notice to the right the water ride that no one wants to go on. Ok, nevermind that water ride. on to the next part of the park. Here is a good view of "Proving Grounds"...I think that's the name of it. I forget. Sadly I didn't fit all of the coaster into the shot. You're missing a half loop to a barrel roll which turns back around into a corkscrew into a quarter loop down into the ground..then the loops and twists and double corkscrew that you *can* see. Above that is a mostly underground giga coaster and above that is the newly unnamed and not-quite themed coaster. This shot (caused by clicking that rotate button once..heh heh) is just a better view of the giga coaster queue and the unnammed, unthemed coaster I just built. Oh hey, you can see those inversions and stuff that were cut out from the previous picture. rock on! The cool thing of taking pics this high up is that you can't see any litter or barf on the ground. Eh, my park was awardest tidiest. hey, when money is no object you go crazy with the handymen. Well..I cursed myself. figures. okay, next picture! here's a close up of two of the first buildings I made. one for the water ride to your left with the lame ride op crew who sent out an empty boat. then another to your right in the mini-lake that has the giga coaster go around it. I thought that was a cool touch. Don't ask me why I put a time machine flat ride in, my people love it! Also if you look down you'll see that South American Neptune Ride, barf on one of the paths and my assigned handyman passing time watching that currently empty ride queue. Ok well there's another guy that looks like he's on his way to clean that up. But just to be safe I took the slacker handyman, dropped him into the lake, counted to 5, then when I thought he was about to drown I pulled him out and put him back down in his area. I'm sure I won't have any more problems out of him. ok, last picture. another close up of a couple buildings that were made early in the park creation. that one in the center I built after I made the vertical drop coaster (called 'Warrior Training Grounds' I think). yeah, then there's the oak barrell water ride no one wants to go on. even after I shut it down for a little bit and reopened it. oy. and if you look closely you can see that well-fitting mayan trebuchet ride! maybe they had those, I dunno..my people needed flat rides! I know you can't quite tell but at one point I went through and put fencing up around the entire perimiter of the park and around any sharp drop offs and around water. safety is very important at Rio del Sol! so...that's my park so far! I hope you like it. If not, you'll get over it. aren't my buildings the coolest for someone who never made buildings before?! I thought so too. ok...I'm done talking about my park, plus I have to pee right now. Rio del Sol.SV6 Rio del Sol saved game file

^^ go as Robb.

sounds like the comp's may be put on hold for a bit. if you want to call it, I have Soren's banner all ready to go.

hmm..I wonder what her version of the story is... it's okay darlin. I'm not going give you all the cliche make-you-feel-better comments. take some time out to let yourself get over her and and get back into enjoying the single life.

are people who play FPS's always that intense during game play? I know it's an adrenaline rush but damn! p.s. I love your avatar, Teddy! I think the sign is cute in a funny way.

gee Wes, who were you referring to with that comment?

I got a warning many many years back for doing 55 in a 35. Fortunatly that was the only thing close to a speeding ticket for me. *knocks on wood*

Wally! oh.my.god. *shakes head*

^^ besides Robb and Elissa?

I don't remember Oregon Trail having lava. hmm, maybe it did and that's why my wagon trains never made it across the river. Hey but Aladdin for the Genesis had to have lava since they were recreating scenes from the movie.

YEAR 138?!?! my goodness man that's a lot of in-game time. How's your ride maintainance at this point? lots of stuff breaking down? awesome park!! I love the pics you've posted so far.

This reminds of the Bud Light (I think?) "Tastes Great!" vs. "Less Filling!" campaign. or Bugs and Elmer's "Rabbit season!" "Duck season!" cartoon.

hmmm..4 out of these 5 I was being sarcastic. (sorry Wally) I liked the short-lived show "American High" I thought it gave a glimpse of high school life much better than any sitcom or movie. Give a bunch of kids from a variety of cliques a video camera and let them tape high school life and their daily life. Cool stuff. so my logical runner-up for awesome high school drama tv show would be "My So-Called Life". A little part of me died when I found the show was no longer running.

hey I'm all for hearing that...

nah, wait until your senior year. 8)

oh goodness, where to start. lets see: Clarissa Explains It All That 80s Show Stacked American High Alf ... actually, the most underrated show IMHO was My So-Called Life.

probably. I mean after his video Barry isn't banned from boat rides on the Lady Gay so it can't be all that serious.
