Six Flags Magic Mountain Announces "X2"
TheBannedKid replied to Loco's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It just getting money pumped into it so that it isn't such a bitch when it comes to maintenance. And its getting some visual effects. Just a renovation. -

I saw Atreyu in concert last Saturday supported my some small Californian bands...really a kick ass venue. It was packed and was just one huge mosh pit, and they put on the best show I've ever seen. Came out for an encore to pay a few more songs, all we asked for was one.

I don't think you understand. You don't just design something on the computer and build it and expect it to work. You need experience in physical testing. If you had some testing already done then maybe people would actually follow this model. But you haven't tested anything! I mean build a U-shaped section of track and drop a test train down and let it valley. The more it goes back and forth the better. The CoasterDynamix system does so about 30 time from 3ft up and is very efficient. From there you can also judge how high the next element could be. Just build a series of hills to see basically what height each element in your final layout. Just remember that an inversion will take more energy/speed from the train than a hill. Also, with these designs that you are making do you really expect to construct them with close tolerances? It gets hard to construct anything at this size. I'm assuming you will use bearings for wheels, well if the axles aren't a perfect fit, or if the wheels slide linearly, or if the axle isn't stable then you will lose a lot of efficiency. I suggest just modifying available products, like the Knex trains. That is unless you have access to precise tools, and I don't mean drills or saws I mean a mill or lathe. All in all you just seem way too ambitious. You seem to be focused way too much on design and not enough on construction. This is not No Limits, Knex, Lego, or CoasterDynamix...its much more difficult. You need to work on analysis of every part of this project, and test everything many times before even assuming it will work. You have a lot of work ahead of you and I have no idea if you can finish. I don't want to sound mean but so far you haven't proven that you can do it.

What is your favorite band?
TheBannedKid replied to SonOfBeastSucks's topic in Random, Random, Random
MCR sober, right... Mikey, Frank, Ray, and Bob may be but recently Gerard is back to the drugs and alcohol. But I do have to agree, they are my favorite band by far, along with Atreyu, Mindless Self Indulgence, Linkin Park, Green Day, The Offspring, and Avenged Sevenfold. -
Right now my desktop switches between six different My Chem desktops that I made out of boredom. Here are my two favorites.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
TheBannedKid replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I wish they would have opened it up on time just for the PointBuzz members...then we could have laughed at their injuries. Oh and people, get outside and play! Posting 13 pages in one day is sad. -

Your love for coasters...when did you realize? When I damn well pleased to... Actually, I think it all started with my first ride on Ninja at SFMM. We skipped school to go to the park (or at least thats what I thought for a long time, it ends up I was at a year-round school and we just got on our month long break) and I pussied out...I would not ride Revolution cuz it inverted. But after a ride on Ninja I became a man, grew some rather large and hairy balls, and rode my first looper. But I think I first realized it around 6th grade...

Millennium Force top speed
TheBannedKid replied to Medusa1861's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I heard the speed determination involved Matt Damon, a midget, and 3 sticks of butter...how accurate can that be? -
