TheStig Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Another picture from GCI! Shipping bridge steel to California's Great America I look like I'm almost doing work in that picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Anyone update to iOS 6? CGA is in 3D on the new maps app, it's pretty fun to play with (though it looks a little odd). Not even Disneyland is in 3D though, I guess that the perks of being neighbors with Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I did notice that in the new apple maps they have the park listed as "Six Flags Great America". I submitted a correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robman Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 So here's some screen shots from the new iOS 6 map app. There is a ton of glitches in the 3D mode, and in my opinion it doesn't look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I don't see anything too bad with those photos. Maybe when you start spinning it around it looks worse, but as far as those stills, I don't see any glitches that are any worse than you can get from normal satellite images.

154bmag Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I think it looks really good. I haven't tried it out myself, but when I do, maybe then I'll notice some glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea after messing around with the app some more, these don't look too bad it' when you start to zoom in and move around. A few things that are messed up is Drop Tower is almost completely gone, the turn around just after the corkscrew on Vortex is cut off. Then there are some other minor things that are messed up.

Angry_Gumball Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'm about to see this map for myself, downloading the iOS 6 update now...looking forward to seeing a very cardboard-looking CGA. I noticed a couple of chunks missing from Flight Deck...good thing it's the off season To my knowledge this looks like the only theme park I've seen in 3D so far. Disney, SFDK, SCBB, Knotts, SFMM...all flat as a pancake! Update: I have the map, the best looking thing on there is probably the Rapids. Anything aerial is a solid chunk raised and 'shaped' to look like a coaster. Check out Flight Deck in all of it's funky glory! The 3D reminds me of the renderings used for the Gold Striker promo/rendering...not Goldstriker itself but the surrounding buildings and few rides (like the cardboard-looking carousel with the imploded/sucked inward roof). I did notice that in the new apple maps they have the park listed as "Six Flags Great America". I submitted a correction. I just did the same...decided to be nice and add the website, phone and address as well. Other random note, the Logger's Run lake is drained and several of the flat rides look naked (see Celebration Swings) as this was done during the off season.

andyuk200523 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Does anyone know what the random assortment of kiddie flat rides in the car park behind CGA is? By noticeable in the 3D mapping, almost looks like a small Ghetto Fair, just behind the amphitheatre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the Global Winter Wonderland event (http://www.globalwonderland.org/) that gets held in the CGA parking lot that debuted last year, has nothing to do with CGA, just another company renting the space out.

rolercstrluvr Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Bump, who here is excited for Haunt? I know I am, I just can't wait to see MMMM in it's final form. Should be one of the better mazes from what i've seen and heard about it. But I still look forward to doing the classics such as Carnevil and Toy Factory, also looking forward to some night time clench and squish rides on Black Widows Cavern.

robman Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Very excited for Haunt, as it's my first year being a monster. Tonight is the first of two preview nights and then we open up for everyone on the 28th! Hope I will see a bunch of TPR members going through Werewolf Canyon.

Sunfire Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'll be there Saturday night, can't wait to check out MMMM, I have high expectations for it. Also, interested to see GS construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 ^ You should join the big TPR group then, so far I think there will be at least 6 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yay, the CGA thread's alive again So far, that I know of, there will be my cousin, Blue Fire Guy, JeffyJosephNorcal, my neighbor, Rolercstrluvr and Rawkin Coaster. Evening, I'm sure there will be at least another 6 to add onto that. Come to the boofet, meet us there (and get into Haunt a bit early and beat the front gate craziness!) I'm very excited for this weekend, going to be one of my longest days spent at the park as I'm also doing the day visit to do some rides and check out Goldy (It seems like ages since I last saw an update, seeing the coaster almost 2 weeks ago when I last visited). It should be a nice surprise and drool session for us...bring an extra change of clothes, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and bye-bye to my Haunt virginity this weekend! Seems like MMMM's going to be a hit for Haunt veterans and newcomers alike. But the part I'm looking the most forward to is snapping the flyers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfire Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ahhh, looks like we got a big group going Saturday. I'm going with a bunch of GP friends, though I'll definitely be sure to say hi to you guys if I see you! Really excited to see this year's talent!

rolercstrluvr Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 ^ As am I BFG, I've been craving some snappings lately. See if we can get the op to freak out like last time, how funny would it be if we had the same op as last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 ^I need to go back and study flying technique... Flyer Addicts, here I come! Oh, not sure if it's been mentioned but Global Winter Wonderland is making a return again this year according to the SC Permit page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJnCFL Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 ^^I should have my camera ready in case the operator freaks out again lol. Anyways 48 hours to go, can't wait, especially for M4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm still waiting for my green light to go, I really want to see M 4 all done up with all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
