My gates are open, come visit !!!

Thanks man! I will look around and see if there is anything missing.

Yeah I water the heck out if them. Hopefully something changes before too long. One good thing is that I have had a new request from my animals three days in a row. I am getting all kinds of new things.

Even with all of the awesome plants, trees, and many public works in my town I still have yet to get a perfect day. Edit: I did find a random Jacob's Ladder flower though.

Too me it all seems random. I went a couple weeks of no requests until after I placed several light posts and torches. I just placed an outside chair yesterday after getting a request for it.

^ I left a request on your city sign while you were gone. Dropped off a couple fossils too.

Open now.

Added to the front page. Anyone going to be playing today?

New item to download in the post office! Check it out.

I should be free later this evening to play. I was not able to play it much this past weekend.

Sorry for the delay, but here is a small update featuring Magic Springs. I believe that about 99.9% of the trip members on the tour have never been to this park before. It really is not close to another other parks (I think the closest one is about a 4 hour drive). Lucky for us, Robb and Elissa arranged it that we would stop here for a few hours on our way up to Silver Dollar City. I thought it was a pretty good park. The staff certainly were very friendly. It sort of reminded me a little of my home park, Wild Adventures, though without the animals. While none of the rides were super special, it did have an overall good assortment of both coasters and flat rides. The waterpark section of the park is certainly the big draw in the area. There is a rumor going around that they may turn this into a waterpark only park, kind of like what Alabama Adventures has done. Coasters you say? Yes they have a few including the only X-Car coaster in country, X-Coaster. I have never ridden one before, and it certainly was a bit of a freaky experience. They also have a wooden coaster, Arkansas Twister. I was happy to be able to ride this one since it is the old Florida Hurricane/Roaring Tiger coaster that used to be at Boardwalk and Baseball/Circus World park. When I went to those parks as a kid, I did not ride coasters so I never got the credit. I do now! We were lucky, that all the coasters were open for the day. Cha-Ching! Anyways, let us get to some photos. I honestly do not have many from this park. We were really only stopping by for a more or less credit run because we had Outlaw Run ERT later that evening, and we did not want to be late for that! I have not been to this state since 1986. It certainly was the first time to ride coasters here. The current government. Yay, we made it! This would be the front entrance. First coaster credit in Arkansas. Naturally it is named after the state. It is difficult to get photos of the coaster. I know Robb will post a POV soon enough. Rules of the ride. X-Coaster was next! It really is quite tall. I think it had the inversion height record until SFMM's Full Throttle, but I could be wrong. Rules of the ride. Up the train goes! This would be the crazy part. Coming back down through the station. This was the only photo I took. It was a somewhat clunky mine train. SLC time? Before... ...After Those pour souls! One of the many "ouch" sections of the ride. Last coaster of the park. Just shameless! That includes you Neil! Map of the park. Random T-Shirt Time! Awwww....we just missed them. Bye Magic Springs! They named a town after you Shirley! Coming soon!

What, the Emperor's Tombs and the Terra Cotta Warrior's were not enough?

Awesome. Today was the first time I had an animal ask me to sit on the bench with them. Bench day!

Ths looks like my favorite new attraction that was announced this morning. I will have to do the next TPR trip.

Had anyone got the apple pie yet?

Great start so far! Can't wait to see the rest!

Let us know if you need help weeding!

But he did direct Deep Rising, so he is awesome!

I too am not a huge fan of the Wing Riders, but I certainly thought X-Flight is the best one in the US. 1. X-Flight 2. Wild Eagle (I do really like the first 1/2 of it, plus the view is amazing) 3. GateKeeper (I too had a lot of rattle in my ride, plus I could not breath at the end due to the restraints. I also found the layout a bit bland)

My very first rides on Outlaw Run was a night, back car front row. Totally insane, especially because for the first 1/3 of the ride is in complete darkness. The double barrel roll also comes out of nowhere as well. I was really shocked by the hang time on the second barrel roll. Overall, Boulder Dash is still my favorite coaster to ride at night.

That is awesome. Was Brewster the first one you got?

The next few weeks I often have my days free. Often I have evenings free as well.

It was a tiny joke since I think many of us know Brandon.

The guy in the purple shirt looks familiar.

Just minor things. Nothing like full levels.
