hit edit, scroll down and there is a button to attach a file, it makes a window open and you click browse to find it in your computer. Im guessing it would be in My Documents. What does OC stand for, and im not talking about the show.

Yeah, just replace the word "rides" with "coasters" and you might be right.

I have heard from a friend who owns it that you can work out (and you actually do a bit of button bashing to make them exersise) you can also ride a bike.

Here you go, a pic of the superman accident.

If anyone wants to know when the accident happened, it was in October, Year 2, and now nobody wants to ride STE anymore, and SFMMs park rating dropped to something like 50, i know where to get some pics of the crash if you want.

Can you put them up? Hey also, there is a cool thing you can do with NL, (or any 3D game for that matter) What you do is get a pair of sunnies but only have them over one eye, and when you play the game dark light from the shaded eye is processed slower by the brain than the unshaded one, giving a sort of 3D effect, its not as good as say a real 3D movie, but it can make riding your coasters a little more interesting. If you have an old pair of sunnies that you can somehow not use anymore, you could just pop out one lens so you are not there holding the sunnies up to one eye, you can just wear them.

Yeah, it was, it went off the end and it landed near goliath, but the tower sort of fell backward and landed on the magnets, and when they tried to get the bits of the tower off the magnets they couldnt so they had to just remove the entire ride and rebuild it from scratch, eh joz?

If im doing a long post, i just type it in word, then cut and paste. The best part is you are not just sitting wasting time on the net.

That thing is the carriage that attatches to the train, and is pulled along by cables powered by a hydraulic motors to launch the train. Kingda Ka is not powered by Linear induction motors, they have been superseded by the hydraulic launch system. The only rides that really use LIMs are smaller scale shuttle coasters like the Intamin Impulsa and the ride trade Half Pipe coaster.

The are on the bordeline, but they are not a roller coaster as they are not sold as one.

My definition of a roller coaster is a ride used for amusment purposes that has a track or other sort of course (eg tobbogan trough) that fits the stereotype of a rollercoaster and is made by a rollercoaster manufacturer. There is no one definition that fits all, because not all coasters are gravity fed (like the Zamperla dragon) and coasters come in many forms. One thing i belive it must have is variations in the tracks angle on any axis, it does not have to have turns, but variations in the grade are important, so that rules out people trying to define a drop ride as a coaster.

How ahrd would it be to call up intamin and ask them to write a new program, if it is spending that time moving very slowly at the top then isnt that really the same as being held at the top, so why hold them longer? Someone who knows rob or bob or whatever his name is should ask him what stops them from re programming the ride system. And Slick, Richo does mechanical engineering at uni so I think he would know a bit more than you.

Basicaly, a dive machine is a ride for which the main feature is a vertical drop, G5 and Oblivion are examples of these. Busch Gardens are taking the concept a bit further, It will have a lift hill that goes straight into a vertical drop, it will then go into an immelmann, which leads to a helix that leads to the mid course block brakes. then there is a second vertical drop that goes underground, then a u turn, then a rather cool water splash element, in which then car runs just above the water in a specialy made pond, and water fountains shoot off either side so it looks like it has hit the water, then the track goes on into the brakes. There are some pics on the busch gardens website that show how the ride will, look, I cant remember the site so just google it.

Scotts right, movie parks tend not to have too many flats, and batman is only a borderline flat, its a bit more than your average spin and spew. And adam, having 3 coasters never stopped anyone, MW could do with another teen market ride as their last one was ages back,

And whats a bet that the presenter will be some sissy saying the claw is the most terrifying thing and will scream like a sissy the whole way through the ride.

None that havent really been done before, I betting on a coaster.

Its the closest thing DW has to a mouse and its lots of fun, and its in a big mountain which is a major feature of goldrush, i dont want to see it go, if anything ever happens to it it will probably just be ripping out the old track and putting in a new ride system (like what they did with Rioolirat at Avonturepark Hellidoom in the Netherlands)

I reckon for the GD, they should just move model T to farmyard friends, and use the grounspace for more substantial themeing. BTW, what is the space below that queue line tunnel used for?

Yeah, i know the things you are talking about, they do it at most centers, and you get tickets like at a game arcade, to use as currency to get stuff, maybe it would be like "get 500 tickets and get a trip to DW", but by then you would have payed for enough bowling to have paid for like 10 games, its the perfect marketing plan

Sounds like a cool idea, but maybe it would be easier to do it in the last part of the queue at ground level, then making those hot air things a bit easier.

And the faxt there are dual vertical drops double the exitement. Initially the ride was going to feature an inline twist but they ditched that idea. A difference to g5 and Oblivon is that it will have 3 car trains. and dive machines have tons of blocks so this ride will really handle the lines. Now the dive machine ride system is being used to its potential i would now actually like to see one here as its not just a one trick pony anymore

Just speed the lifts and the catch car return, and reduce the holding time at the top to and average of 10 seconds, with a few random hold times chucked in to spice things up, ranging from an immediate drop after it reaches the top, giving no time to prepare, to a 25 second torture session to really well up the fear.

I thought this might be a fun game, many people have complained that DWs press releases and ride descriptions are just a huge blurb of bull and buzzwords, so if you were trying to market one of DWs rides, what would you say? eg: "Its Spinnin', Its Swingin', its in ya face, vomit time action on "the Claw", swing higher than a kid on red cordial and prepare for the thrill of your life...." ect, ect. Or maybe for GD: "do you want to experience the greatest queue of your life, then ride the giant drop..." Of course, i would never try to sell a ride with a rap like that, but anyway, have a go, this could be fun. BTW, has anyone actually wondered themselves what it would be like being strapped in an armchair in a washing machine, as from the WO spiel.

Yeah, pizza hut rules, much better than that undersized, overcooked, barley topped place known as Dominos. Anyway, back to Haloweem, do you think they will get one of the carnival house of horror rides and set it up in Maloneys Corner.

Sorry Paul, if I sounded mean im sorry, maybe there could be a profile for the good parks (DW, SW, MW), but for the rest of it have rides. Hey, I know, I know, there could be a profile for the start of a season (March, June, September, December) then for the seasons other two months, feature 2 rides from that park.
