Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 looks like every single other terrible amusement park game out there. It has zero innovation and is based on the same coin, ticket, restock mobile game model. It could have been cool, but Atari didn't even try here.

I found a good way to ride Maverick is to hold on during the first quick turns, then I can keep me hands up the rest of the ride without much neck chopping.

^Um, why are you acting like the new park map is some sort of big secret?

In the video the even mention you can invite your friends on Facebook, i'd just expect that sort of integration as well. Nice going Atari.

Recent B&M lift hills vary in speed depending on if the train ahead has cleared the block yet.

For those who can't get on Facebook right now. http://www.wkyc.com/story/news/features/2014/03/17/kings-island-begins-testing-banshee/6514397/

Joy oh joy, micro-transactions. KILL IT WITH FIRE NOW!!

That's what I was wondering. If it was guest I'm wondering how they even fell out unless he wasn't restrained properly or his restraints failed. I think we all knew something like this was going to happen at Mt. O, at least it wasn't on a larger ride.

Do you guys think that Lightning Run might be better than the megalites?

No, save the sea lions! Someone call PETA!

Shhhh, don't tell them you're ok with it just yet, they might leave out the cool stuff.

I think Krake wins the award for best chair in a control booth.

Just uploaded a recap video of the Cedar Point Winter Chill Out tour. It was a fantastic off-season tour of Cedar Point which took us to see the improvements taking place on the Gemini Midway including Pipe Scream and Lake Erie Eagles, through the maintenance shops, and all over a snowy Cedar Point.

Apparently this was said by the park management during the Q&A at the event, can anyone confirm? "You guys are generally notorious for having not so good efficiency. Do you plan on fixing this?" "Well...we think it looks bad when empty ride cars are sent out, so we generally only run one at a time to ensure that every one is full."

^Wow, that's better than anything i've been able to do so far! How much time did it take you?

Livestreaming me fooling around with Theme Park Studio for a little bit, tune in! http://www.hitbox.tv/Nadastorm

Too bad that's all going to be used for the Dinosaurs Alive expansion.

During the presentation at Winter Chill Out they had a slide that said roller coasters are in our DNA when discussing their five year plan. What looks like DNA? Polar coasters.

Gotta love a coaster where there are trees growing in the track.

Did the train tracks have to be moved a bit so Goliath could fit?

I prefer Sky Screamers over Windseekers. There's something about the chain that makes it more thrilling. You mean the risk of getting stuck 300 feet in the air for hours isn't thrilling enough? Nope, needs more flame throwers.

Here's a great video from Holiday World showing what it takes to maintain their wooden coasters during the off-season. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
