1pizza14 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 ^^^ Zoom zone at CW isnt exacly a ride.. its an area inside an area. There are 3 rides. Silver Streak, Jumpin Jet, and Blast Off. There is no actual ride called zoom zone
larrygator Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 ^OK, thanks. For some reason I thought Silver Streak was renamed "Zoom Zone", my bad.
linearinduction Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Larry, Sky Scraper at Lagoon is the name of the Ferris Wheel.
printersdevil78 Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Larry, In sorting photos for the next couple updates in my UK Trip thread, I found a much better picture of the Fantasy Island gallopers than the one I sent earlier in the year, if you can still use it: Fantasy Island gallopers
larrygator Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) ^thanks Jason - I can always use better pictures of rides. The Park Index is the only menaingful aspect of my life. In case anyone missed it the new thread I made, I just want to let everyone know that a lot of park maps have recently been scanned and added to the Park Index from Robb and Elissa's personal collection. Notable additions: HHN Orlando Park Guides, some Asian parks (from 2004-2009 trips) and European parks they visited in 2005. Edited December 31, 2010 by larrygator
larrygator Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Why did they have to put that "stupid" Texas Giant sign right below the Big Spin sign? This reminds me - I have to make a list of the SF rides getting new names and fix them in the Park Index. Shouldn't be too hard since most changes are with kiddie rides. Edited January 3, 2011 by larrygator
chadster Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 good question, funny thing is, there was no sound, no video presentation, or anything other than the TG slide on steady burn.
printersdevil78 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Found a better picture of the Cycle Monorail at Pleasure Island than the one I posted here before. This one includes the sign and cars instead of just the rail.
larrygator Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Jason - thanks for that picture. I'm still doing a lot of behind the scenes work on the Park Index. There are some updates (new photos, maps and nostalgia) everyone can see right now. Other changes on a grander scale are in process and not quite ready for release.
astroworldfan1 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Larry, did you ever get my PM about there being a Japanese park map on a page for a California's Great America map? www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=205&linkid=9846
larrygator Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 ^No never saw your PM, I just need to figure out what park that is before I move it. thanks
larrygator Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 ^No never saw your PM, I just need to figure out what park that is before I move it. thanks for pointing that out EDIT: OK, I think it is Hijemi Central Park
robbalvey Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Speaking about the "ever evolving park index"... here is a sneak peek at something new that should be launching on TPR hopefully sooner than later! I do hope some of you guys will be as excited about this as Larry and I are! It's an expanded "Park Index" with the ability for users to login and rate the parks! That's all I'm going to say about it.... Edited January 18, 2011 by robbalvey
samisthabomb Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 ^That sounds awesome! The TPR site just keeps getting better and better. Thanks, Robb!
Jerrykoala2112 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Yeah, I've been checking on the Park Index every time before I head to a new park. I look at what credits are new, look at recent reports, and all that good stuff. This new one looks very user friendly, and should help many people when trying to seek info on a park
Across_the_Universe Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I really like this idea too. I do have a question though. Will you be able to rate coasters as well as individual parks, or just the latter?
robbalvey Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) ^ Initially, just the overall park. Give us time to expand on it! Ranking each ride is the natural evolution behind this. Edited January 18, 2011 by robbalvey
Ryan King Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 This is very cool. A rating system for each park is a really neat idea. I hope it all works out
odene497 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 This is really cool. Looks very nice and easy to use, it'll be nice to have all this info in one place. Awesome job! Can't wait to see it completed.
Chroniq Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I vote for choice 3 and it isn't displaying correctly on my android phone.. Seriously though, looks sick.. Can we get a real link and not a screen cap?
