Gold Coaster

Well done, guys. It's great to see a properly executed RCT3 project that will end up in something being produced. Perhaps you could post some progress shots every few days or week or something?

Let us know what they say. Thanks!

OH MY GOD... I remember that! I wondered why I had that storyline in my head... just couldn't remember where I saw it. It was cheesy but being that age I lapped it up eagerly enough.

The new skull indeed looks great, hopefully the queue area gets some nice touchups. The first time I won, it was the question about who you'd like to ride with and why. I said Mr Bean so I could watch the contortions of his rubbery face but that he'd probably just fall asleep like he did on the rollercoaster.

but HEY! we have the Harry Potter shop. What more could we want? Maybe MW could at least add a stall out the front of it with their own Butterbeer and perhaps some Pumpkin Pasties and/or Cauldron Cakes. They could prepare it in the bakery kitchen.

^ It's actually surfing jargon for the interior of a wave. The park uses an Australian beach culture theme so it works.

I'd just wrap a towel around me going between the slides. When queuing in the towers, I can put up with being a little cold sometimes if it means having a heap of re-rides & not being lucky to get one or two goes on each. Most of the time it's not going to be THAT bad. You can always wear a rashie or t-shirt to help stay warmer too. But back to the lazy river -- I don't mind if it's something that isn't run all year but if it's heated, then they could always rotate staff between other slides to compensate. Once you're in the water, you're used to the temperature anyway... and if you get cold floating on top, just get in the middle of the tube and kick yourself around...

I can understand the economics. Was simply saying I don't understand why they can get as dead as they do. Don't both water parks offer heated slides anyway?

Oh come on, this is Queensland, still plenty of warm days in autumn and winter.

1/ Don't bump really old topics without a post that warrants it. 2/ Your post doesn't warrant it. This could have been done through a PM. 3/ It's Alex's business whether he does or doesn't. Doesn't affect you or anyone, don't call him out on it. 4/ Have a pleasant day and enjoy the tunafish, the cow & the flaming mongrels.

^ I was agreeing with you which is why 'ARE' was in capitals.

The Zippers ARE quite tame (some more than others) if you anchor yourself properly and get used to the sensation. I revel in the rickety nature of it

Actually, I've been writing articles (and supplying photos) for this magazine since Mick Doohan Motocoaster launched. Hiyooooo

It looks like a fantastic park just for what's there already. I'd be happy to go there and just soak in the atmosphere! Looks like I'll be sent there by a magazine to do an article on it too! Probably June when Madagascar opens.

Skywalker is my favourite at the moment! Any shows close to Brisbane or the Gold Coast coming up soon? Where can we find a calendar?

Oh ok. Still haven't done No Limit.

^ Still, it's not like we have a lot of alternatives and most of these shows take place in places without theme parks anyway. People who don't like the idea of riding the 'spin & spews'...well, just pace yourself, don't go on 20 in a row or eat beforehand. When there's no better option, you're just missing out by putting a blanket 'no ride' policy. There was a time where I wouldn't do any of the then-Big 5 at Dreamworld, LW OR anything slightly scary at shows then I found how much I missed out on. Personally, I've only ever felt motion sickness in a car that my father's been driving Start with the less intense ones and work your way up. Zippers don't phase me these days for instance. Looking forward to trying this one out, didn't go to the EKKA the last few years as I haven't been in Brisbane.

I'd rather eat than go to Six Flags America that's for sure!

The food's great there. Never had a problem with it.

Today I just need to get other stuff done, really.

No

At the risk of stating the obvious, be sure to keep a written list of the scenery packs you use. It's too easy to forget to maintain that & then when it comes time to releasing the park, you're not quite sure which of 50 sets contained that slightly less than generic tile or wall I too would be keen to assist.

^^ Just fill it up with Zippers, Volares and Boomerangs. Not to mention a Wacky Mouse with breaks in every section. Best park ever... ;)

I did. Did anyone hear get to Freestyle Music Park while it was named that...or to Hard Rock Park? Hear FMP is going the way of its former incarnation. Anyone want to buy some slightly used rollercoasters?

It would definitely kill the atmosphere a bit somehow. If it was Expedition Richmond, maybe not so much...
