Are you saying you can do it but it will be nothing like what I want? How does that help? Basically I need something that is (is it 250x250?) the largest map with hills/valleys just something that isnt a flat block of land.every time I make one it just doesn't look natural at all

So every park I make is always on flat land as I seem to suck at making any hills/water stuff it just ends up looking crappy. Would anyone on here like to make me a huge (largest map possible) empty scenario (in the editor so I can work on it from there) please? It just needs to have a nice hilly and/or water area please as well as some flat land

What is it with Australia and Disk'O rides this year? There's going to be one at the Ekka now too

I've got that one already (and an acc for the site) That pack doesn't contain a barb wire fence. I know I had one ages ago but I can't remember what it was called or where I found it. This is the one I saw before but can't find anywhere. http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=683823 It's called mgpfences or something

Every now and then I get bored, fire up rct3 and mess around with some stuff.

I'm looking for a prison set for RCT3 which has a decent barb wire high security type fence but the only one I found has no download link any more. Anyone know of a decent working one?

Well I guess these are all just excuses to go back again

Well I get that it was put on, but I wasn't sure if it was scripted like that or if the chick had decided to do it by herself for the sake of it. It might sound silly, but if I was to be running a show like that, I'd keep trying to change it slightly to keep myself entertained too. I think it still would have been non-gimicky if they had made the seats vibrate or something during the explosions and not just for a drop once. It's not like they didn't have the money or technology to do it. I would have loved to have seen it again but once we were on the studio tour, next time we were down in the back lot and wouldn't have made it back once we realised the time, and last time we were watching terminator or something. Time gets away from you in places like that, especially when you can't use the sun as a guide. Sounds like you're saying Waterworld and Jurrassic Park are the "point" of universal and Space mtn and BTMR was the "point" of Disney? If I've seen things before I would rather spend the time seeing things I didn't last time than miss out on them again.

And here is the full studio tour excluding King Kong http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjsvzp_studio-tour_travel

Yea the drop was a bit surprising, feels like if you aren't concentrating you could easily bit your tongue I hope they didn't spend too much on the seats just for them to do that

Maybe we should all spam Six Flags and Cedar park amusements to see if they can buy DW Also, standup isn't really that great IMO, would much prefer a flying coaster

So it's been a while since my promised reviews. Sorry about that. Universal Studios was a pretty entertaining day. It was also the first time we met a coca-cola freestyle machine. ~160 different drink choices from the same machine.... As with the other parks I've reviewed the order in which I went on things makes no real difference so I again review in order of appearance on the website. Studio Tour - This was actually the first thing we went on for the day. We arrived about 10.45 and after having a quick breakfast - I must say the breaky burrito was awesome - we waited in line for almost an hour before finally getting on the tour. It was quite impressive, much of it being the same as it was a few years ago when I was there this time with the impressive addition of the King Kong 3D show. It really is amazing the way they have done it, you drive into the building and inside is a dome completely surrounding the cars. The entire thing is a 3d screen with an impressive show of King Kong vs some T-rex's with movement and water effects. It's quite interesting to see all the different movie sets and props and the effort they put in to rebuilding them after the fire a few years ago. I feel sorry for the poor guy who plays norman bates though, he is the only non-automated attraction and would just have to do the same 2minute skit over and over each day (obviously there would be more than one actor, but still, a 2min skit over and over for a couple of hours would still do your head in). The only downside of this was it was "hosted" by Jimmy Fallon so you have to endure several lame skits during the tour. Revenge of the Mummy - Eh, it had a short queue, but the ride feels like it only lasts about 1 minute if that. It's a nice fast dark ride though but once we got to the end we couldn't help the feeling of "oh, is that it?" Jurassic Park - Another water ride in reasonably cold weather and a bit of wind. A few people were braving it and the queue was around 30mins or so. Terminator 2 3D - I don't know if it was just the actors' improv or if it was scripted but damn I'm sick of the word "super" now, or should I say "suuperrrrrrrrrr" It was the end of every damn sentence she said. As for it being advertised as being some sort of well not 4D, but lets call it a "force-feedback" show, we were really unimpressed by the "effects" in the seats. At the end of the show we got lifted up 10cm or so once, then dropped back the normal height shortly after that. Not sure again if that's normal or something wasn't working. Overall I wasn't really impressed by the show as it seemed really dated and you could see how much the technology has improved since it was made. House Of Horrors - We had planned on visiting this on the way out but ran out of time. It's a scary walk-through attraction. Animal Actors - Due to us seeing Terminator we didn't have time to see it. Wish I'd skipped T23D to check it out though. Universal Experience - Wow, that sucked. It was just a few props in some glass display cabinets. Not really the "Go behind the scenes of Universal's film legacy in this interactive exhibit featuring authentic props, wardrobe and artifacts from past, present and upcoming Universal Productions. Movie fans of all ages will see displays from many Academy Award® winning films like Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Jaws and Psycho. The Oscar® statue for 1973's Best Picture The Sting will also be on display." that sounded interesting from the website. Simpsons Ride - That was awesome. The wait time was 15mins and the ride is a motion-simulated-non-looping-coaster. Once we were sitting in the cars we were wondering what was going to happen since there was no obvious screen in front of us. Then we were lifted through the roof and into a surround dome screen like King Kong. We loved the ride and would have done it several more times if time permitted. Shrek 4D - Universal had it years before movieworld made their clone. Adventures of Curious George - A nice kids water play area. Waterworld - We were supposed to see it but didn't get a chance to due to being caught up watching other shows or being on rides. I'd seen it before but was a little disappointed to miss it. Special Effects Stage - Wasn't as interesting as I remembered it being a few years ago but wasn't bad none the less to see how some effects were made before the CGI era. Blues Brothers - Just some musical show we didn't bother with. Overall 8/10 Rides 8/10 (Only thanks to Simpsons and the Tour - but this isn't really a ride park) Food 7/10 Theming 9/10 - Well it is a movie set after all so the backlot tour was really well themed and the simpsons queue and ride was excellent. On a side note - There is a lot of construction going on near the back of the park behind a massive wall showing a Transformers logo so it will be interesting to see what happens there. Ok - a quick bit of google-ing show there is a ride going in there in which case for a ride announce in 2008 I would have expected work to have started before 2010, but still they've done quite a bit to remove backdraft, relocated the special effects show and remake the buildings. Not something you'd really want to advertise... And finally...... "OMG THEY'RE LOOSE!"

As per your suggesting, I am currently rendering a video comprised of all the footage I took from the trip.... at 600x and will be uploading it to this post later today or tomorrow depending on file size and upload times (no music added yet though)

Version 1 - Just the normal ride http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjooqh_autopia_travel Other versions coming soon assuming I can work out how to use the program properly

But without the music it's meh lol. I wasn't sure how the filter worked if it just checked for ID3 type tags or if it checked the actual music. Stupid copyright. I'm still looking for an alternative edit - trying Dailymotion now - should take about 3hrs to upload so I should be able to show it here later. It's really not all that great lol, it's just a full onride of one of the Autopia tracks with some music.

OK, so youtube didn't work, and I though this was a video sharing site too, but it's not. So if you want to see it, a ) Download it here http://www.4shared.c...xY/Autopia.html b ) Tell me a youtube alternative

Present for you edit- assholes blocked the video because of the music I chose. feel free to watch through a US proxy though I'll see if I can upload it somewhere else Interesting they emailed me this but I can still watch it As a result, your video has been blocked in these locations: Australia, New Zealand - edit: just tried once I was logged out and I can't look at it. Uploading to photobucket now in the hope that works

But then you wouldn't be nekkid? Yes I would pay more than $50 if I had it available at the time

Ride Lethal Weapon nekkid!!!

{2010-10-12} Larsen MacColl Partners LP, the largest shareholder in S&S Worldwide, Inc. has acquired majority ownership in the company, including all shares previously held by company founder, Stan Checketts. {2010-10-14} S&S is pleased to announce that we’ll be bringing the excitement of El Loco to Fraispertuis City in France. We’ve just signed a contract for a bold new adaptation of our award-winning coaster. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffraispfan.free.fr%2FNouveautes%2FNouveau2011.html

If it is similar to Mumbo Jumbo as people are saying, this could be a rough guide

$21 USD to be custom made for the park. I would assume it would cost some more to ship to AUS, plus, lets say it's $25m to AUS, that's $5m on theming so we can show the actual parks how it's done

The op on Tatsu actually started to sing, and he was damn good. The op on Ninja did the ninjaaaaaaa thing. The op on Goliath used his phone to convert the height of the drop into several different measurements. The rest of the ops were pretty normal. I found scream to be fairly smooth actually but it just didn't really do anything for me as a ride compared to a steel enclosed car coaster. Don't get me wrong it is an excellent ride, it's just a bit over-hyped. Now, who wants to pool $30m+ together and build a Tatsu clone over here?

- Just on the wait times, they are about what I was expecting, but with limited time you really don't notice how quick the day disappears. If I was to do the same trip again, I would have doubled my stay in all the parks. Now to just win the lotto.... It's a real shame we didn't realise the way to get the dodgy fastpasses for all the parks. ***TIP FOR ANYONE VISITING A US PARK AND WANTING TO SKIP ALL QUEUES BY BEING A DODGY BASTARD*** Go to guest services and tell them you have an anxiety disorder and freak out standing in lines. They will give you a medical pass which works like a fastpass but you can use it for any ride at any time and they usually add your whole group to the pass. Annual passholders do this all the time, especially at Disneyland

Just saw this on facebook...
