  1. ^Uhm, that is the .dat file. Do you have both Wild! and Soaked! ?
  2. ^YOu can view it without CS too, it just wont looka s pretty
  3. ^I tried to keep CS to a minimum because I knew if there was too much the chances of people bothering to download all of the needed CS packs would have been slim. Also, there is more CS than what oyu mentioned, I did not show most of the park in the screenshots, it is too big. but there is costum scenery scattered around
  4. Well, as some of you may know/rememer, a while ago I was working on this park I was very proud of called Fakeland: Japan. But sadly, when I reformatted the comptuer the file got deleted in the process. I was bummed. But my quest after building that oh-so-incredible RCT3 park was not over. I kept trying and trying but files kept getting saved over, lost, or I lost interest or whatnot. So I figured this time around I am not posting a thread about this park untill it's done. And at last... It is finally done. this park requires the following scenery packs or it will not display correctly: SteelWorx BridgeIt! RockWork Aceana's Pavement Essentials Expansion - Walls and Railings WARNING: Due to the park being so full, and having many reflective surfaces, the game might lag extremely when playing the park. If your comptuer is not some sort of freakish supercomputer you might want to lower the graphics quality before opening the park. I welcome you to... INCREDIWORLD! Download Link: http://www.mytempdir.com/1356376 The Garden Coaster Hot coasters and a cool waterpark I wonder what could be in that castle? I built this to compensate for never having ridden Windjammer. IncrediWorld is a huge park spread across wide areas, yet is intriguingly compact And in the center of the IncrediWorld lake likes Mine Mountain. A one of a kinda Flying Turns experience. Incrediworld is home to many coasters, but one of it's star attractions is Ominous It's hard capturing a good quality detial of the entire park. this is only one half of it.
  5. ^Heheh, really? What were you gonna write? Also, I must say, I extremely selfishly dont want them to take out rolling thunder untill the nxt time I'm ther,e becuase they're a missed credit for me. Isn't it sad that I rode both Blackbeard's lost treasure train andwylie coyote coaster, but didn't ride rolling thunder because I "didn't want to be a credit whore"? As for Robin, for some reason it always operates solo. I think that one time ages ago I saw a video of it operating with batman as well, and I was "WTF"ish. I agree with all of your reviews except for the runaway mine train. I found it to be quite fun. Especailly that last hill. Never expected it to actually deliver airtime like it did.
  6. I don't know why but I feel obligated to link everyone that had an onride photo like the one you posted to this handy dandy comic I made, Either way, great TR! At first when I saw the top of the loop all laying on the ground I went "WTF?! They're taking down Great American Scream Machine or something?!" But then I realised it's jsut the world's coolest monkey bar. I didn't even realize they have a safari there.
  7. ^Just googled them. They look AWSOME! I saw them in the game Locomotion, didn't know they actually exist. Pretty cool!
  8. ^Not really, you see, it appeared that nothing that happened to us that day was specific for that day. meaning if we were to go back and try again some other day that could very well mean gong through the same hting all over agian, also, we didnt know things would keep going the way they did. we figured we mgiht as well jsut get it over with. AS for messing up on where to go, somehow my dad mixed up St. Pancras and St. Fenchurch, and the lady at the information didn't let us know that it's not the most efficient route. It was as simple as that.
  9. ^Actually the way back was pretty uneventful. I hardly remember it even. Part 2 will focus around how I tried to make the most out of Alton Towers in 30 minutes. Also, coaster05, this was not a coaster vacation, it was a regular vacation and my dad was kind enough to give up a day of hanging around London in order for me to go to an amusement park I really wanted to go to. So I couldn't go back the next day. And we didn't rent a car because we figured taking the trian would be much cheaper, simpler, and besides, we're not used to driving on the left side of the road.
  10. ^Ah, sorry. Should've been a bit more specific though. Anyhow, it's final exam season, my bosses are sitting on my neck hard with the wonder of the ever-shortening deadline, it's 3AM and I'm going thorugh some personal stuff, too. My sarcasm detectors are offline and my stress levels are at an all-time high, so I apologize if I act agitated.
  11. ^^What do you mean "Who cares"? This is a TR, if you don't find TRs interesting, just don't read it. ^I didn't butcher the rail system, I just said what happened on this specific trip. I didnt express a single opinion about the rail system, in fact, if you'll notice, I said this was my dad's fault for getting the stations mixed up. This entire mess happened because we went to the wrong station, not because of the rail system.
  12. What the heck's everybody picking on me for?! I never realised that pointing out that England is cold and gets alot of rain an offensive thing, in fact I LIKE that about england, as I have already stated. I wouldnt be offended if someone that visited Israel said "It being Israel and all temperatures were in the high 30s". I never so much as implied it is gross, don't know why you would even say that I did, and after I saw people considered it offensive I immidiately apologized and edited it!
  13. ^What? Where did I ever say gross?! I would never say that about England! I said "It being england and all, it started to rain". It jsut so ahppens I LIKE England's weather, it's part of what makes it special, if we didn't like England, weather and all, we wouldn't have gone there in the firstplace, so why is everybody talking like I tried to say something offensive about england?
  14. ^I'm really sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to, I just don't see what is offensive about pointing out that england has cold rainy weather? It's kind of a known scientific fact, and not a matter of opinion. I have nothing against England and in no way meant to diss it. I edited out the phrase And Raptor, I didn't write this jsut for comments, but it is alot of work and time writing such a long TR, and if nobody reads it, it feels kidna pointless to make such an effort, and the only way to know how many people actually read it(instead of just clicke don it, saw how long it is and went away) is to see how many comments I got
  15. ^All will be detailed in Part 2(Assuming I get enough comments, I wont bother typing all that if I see nobody reads it)
  16. ^Uhm... It's a TR about somethign that has already happened. Years ago. Not asking when's the best time to hit the park...
  17. Was going over a TR and suddenly decided maybe I should share one of my most memorable coaster-related experiences ever. Note: This turne dout logner than I expected so wha tI posted here is just part 1- which is the nightamre Iw ent throug in order to get to the park. This happened when I was 11, I am now 17. You do the math. How to conquer Alton Towers in 30 minutes! Well, me and my parents went on vacation in england, and stayed in the Cumberland hotel which is smack down in the center of London. Me and my dad decided to take one day and hit that interesting Alton Towers park which I have seen recreated in my copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon and hardly knew anything about at the time. My mom didn't come along becuase, well, let's just say, once she went on a big apple coaster and screamed for the ride op to stop it after only 2 laps. She went to an antiques market instead. So, we wake up bright and early to have the entire day to roam around the park. My dad asks at the reception how to get there, and the receptionist tells him to go to St. Fenchurch railway station. We start walking, or riding, or whatever, I don't relaly remember how we got there. Long story short we arrive at St. Pancras station, and I'm thinking "Hmmm... Aren't we supposed to be at a different station?" But I also think "Eh. What do I know. Dad probably knows best." This is where it all went wrong. We arrive at the station, and I'm all excited that King's Cross is across the street(because I was 11 and was reading Harry Potter). We ask the lady at the information how do we get to Alton Towers and how long does it take. She directs us towards a train that's right next to us, saying we need to take that train, which is an hour (or an hour and a half, I don't remember) ride, and then switch to another train that is a 30 minutes ride. I am a bit startled by the long travel time(I live in the middle of the biggest city in a very small countyr, after all, I'm not used to traveling anywhere longer than an hour.) We get our tickets and get on the train, which is jsut about to leave anyway, and the ride begins. I am fascinated because I like trains and the view of England passing by through the window is not something I'm used to. I remember passing alot of bridges over streets, which I'm not used to, either. All I remember other thant hat is that the train had a kiosk car and I bought a muffin. Well, a long time later(which I didnt mind, I was enjoying the ride) we arrive at our station. I can already see that it's in a rural location. We get off the train, and as it drives off I see that aroudn the train station there is nothing in sight. Just land and stuff. Again, living in the middle of the big city, it's a view I'm not used to. We check and see we still have a couple minutes before our train comes in, so my dad suggests we go order ahead our tickets for hte park so we don't have to spend time at the booths when we get there. So we go in and call Alton Towers, we make reservations for our tickets, and then grab a bite to eat at the diner thing that was there. Well, after about 30 minutes(I assume) we go to the designated platform, and wait. Soon enough a short train rolls in, and we board it. We don't even get the chance to sit ourselves down before hte conductor goes and tells us this is not our train. We get off the train, and they redirect us to another platform. No big deal. We walk over to the other platform, and wait. ... And wait. ... And wait. Now, let me remind you, I'm from Tel Aviv, Israel, where temperatures reach only as low as 12C in the average cold winter days, and as far up as 41C in the summer. And this being birtain, the country that considered it a national disaster when temperatures reached the mid-twenties, I am freezing my poor little 11 year old ass off. So I went and sat in the diner/kiosk thing that was on the platform, because it had heating. probalem is, because oyu coudlnt' see the platform from there I had to keep going outside and checking. My dad bought me some chocolate milk and I played a couple rounds ont he arcade machine there and I was at peace with the predicament. ...And then I waited. ...And waited some more. And I wen toutside to wait with my dad, I think. After a while a 3-car train bumps its way into the station. I never even knew trains can even be that short. We go on, and once again, the conductor soon lets us know that this is not our train. We get off and keep waiting. I was getting pretty upset then. I assume my dad was, too. And then, it starts raining. Now, as I mentioned, this is a rural station, nothing urban, so its not all under one big roof, but instead each platform has a little canopy over it. Which isn't doing much good because the rain is coming in diagonally and there wasn't a dry spot in sight. I go in and keep waiting in the little diner, while my poor dad waits ont he platform for the train to arrive. I wait for a very, very long time, it would seem. It has been hours since we arrived at the station, I think. Everyone growns frustrated. Eventually, a measly, petite, one-car train(Including the locomotive, because the trian was it's own locomotive, which was brand new for me), slowly barrels its way into the platform. We get on, sit down, and relax. This is our station. Because the little car was already practically full me and my dad sit in seperate places, and I sit nex tot this nice old lady. I don't rememebr her name but we tlaked the tentire time and I told her the name "Sylvia" would suit her. Dad said we should be getting off the train at a stop claled "Uttoxeter".(Little did I know, while Alton Towers is right next to London, Utoxetter is, in fact, closer to Blackpool than it is to London) Well, after a 30 minute ride the announcer says "Next stop Uttoxeter!" I bid the nice old lady farewell and me and my dad hop off the train. As the train drives off I realize something odd. I am out in the plain open. There are no walls to this place, no roof, no canopys. There isn't even a station building in sight. Heck, there was only one platform! The train was just a concrete platform on both sides of the track, with two bus-station-like benches sitting on each side. And two monitors moutned on poles. That's it. In fact, the way out of the station was just this dirt path that crossed the track and lead to the nearby bus stop(Which was like 2 meters away from the staiton itself, and approximately the same size.) It was this odd couldersac, which consisted of the little train station, a telephone booth, and a bus station with a sign that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside - Alton Towers. We waited for the bus. ...And waited. ...And waited. It never showed up. Needless to say, Utoxetter was this "middle-of-nowhere" town. There was zero traffic and no people in sight. Even on the main street that was somwewhere up the hill at the edge of the couldersac. After a VERY long wait in the rain and the freezing cold(no Diner to hide out in this time, and the bus stop's canopy was doing zilch) we decided to call the park fromt he payphone. I had a very hard time figuring out the british payphone system and the park's automatic call redirection system. I spent like 30 minutes trying to contact a live human being in the park. During that time a pack of teenagers appeared out of nowhere and sat around the bus stop for a while. Finally my dad came in to help me with the phone and we finally got a hold of someone that said that the last bus should have left at 4:00PM. I checked my watch. It was 4:07 or so. And I have been standing there for well over an hour. However, the group of teens did mysteriously disappear. Me and my dad went out of the phone booth. It was still raining, and we were stuck int he middle of nowhere int he freezing cold and rain with no way to go anywhere, our day at hte park has been ruined. Bein only 11, I started crying, my dad sid he was on the verge of tears himself(and he's a very strong, at the time 63 year old man). I simply walked aroudn the oculdersac when suddenly a black car arrived out of the main street. Some guy droppped someone else off. My dad and me approached the driver and shared with him our story. He offered to give us a ride to Alton Towers himself. We couldn't believe our luck. We hopped into the guy's car, thanking him. My dad said he's heaven-sent. After a long drive I saw a sign reading "Alton" and my excitement went through the roof. About 15 minutes later(Go figure) we finally reach Alton Towers itself. We thanke dhte guy once more, and got out. We quickly got our tickets(good thing we ordered ahead) and went in. We bought a raincoat and were on our way to having fun. It was 5:15. But my dad had to go to the bathroom. So he did. and after he did I did too. So as we got out I looked at the time. It was 5:30. Problem is, Alton Towers closed at 6:00. The race was on.
  18. I wouldn't consider this as something to avoid as much as a goal.
  19. A school uniform T-hirt, even though we dont have to wear them anymore(they're comfy, though) white/grey boxers with color stripes and blue slippers. ...What? It's 40C weather.
  20. Im still not sure what hte pink thigns are... I think they might be somehting they sell around here too... If so, then america's frozen-stuff-on-a-stick industry is in big trouble, if that's considered to be so divine.
  21. I gotta say... What's the big idea opening up a christian themed park in jew central anyway? I quote an american stand up comedian I really liked when I say: "I don't mind giving the jews all of the middle east. As long as they give us back Florida". I gotta say, though, I once took a look into the park's website. they have these alleged "Israeli folk dances" things? I don't think I've ever seen those costumes or those dances before. However, over here in Israel we have a bible themed theme park(Gasp! Shocker!) That's actually doing pretty well. I have no idea how come, though, seeing as it's got ONE good ride, which is a 10 minute long shoot-the-chute, a simulator, and THATS PRETTY MUCH IT, yet park admission is $25, which is $5 more than the (relatively) GOOD amusement parks around here. And it's not even in Jerusalem or anywhere near a religious spot. it's in Eilat, which is miles away from any sort of civilization. Behold, King's city. This one building is the entire park. King solomon's falls.
