  1. I will mention this as I remember it being brought up when Terminator was announced. I distinctly remember hearing something along the lines of the Mummy being intact for the 2010 coaster. Not sure if this rings any bells, but just thought I would point that out. So if it is a THBS, which I hope it is NOT, we might have cheap cardboard cut outs of Brendon Fraiser instead of Tony Hawk. Oh joy.
  2. I ended mine with a Mamba ride at Worlds of Fun Saturday night, I got my Prowler night ride, which was amazing, but not as great as some of the day runs I had. I still have it in a virtual tie with Voyage, but I plan on riding both again next year! Great season for me though! 3 new parks, got credit number 100, as well as a new number one coaster! Can't wait until 2010!
  3. Prowler on Saturday night! I can't let Racer be my last credit...that was in August! Will be my first Prowler night run.

  5. So ever since about Tuesday, anytime I try and open No Limits, it says not responding. I am running Vista, any suggestions BESIDES getting rid of Vista? I have heard that a lot, I just want a quick fix if possible.
  6. Funny story, my sisters friends run that maze, build it, rent the place out etc. They have a blast doing it. I did Saw last year and it was amazing. I would do it again this year, but I won't be back in Cali until December, still a great thing to do!
  7. If you have a chance, you should swing a little more West and grab the Prowler credit at Worlds of Fun! That ride is worth the extra distance alone!
  8. In the week time difference between my rides, there was a noticeable difference in intensity, hopefully I get to ride this again in the next month or so, I am going through Prowler withdraw!
  9. I rode Prowler 2 weeks ago for the first time, and it is absolutely amazing. I have gotten 5 rides now, and the back row is absolutely amazing. It jumped to my favorite wooden coaster, to my number 2 overall coaster, even though it will probably change come August.
  10. I thought it was going to Laser Snake Horse on Fire in the Dark with neon lights and $8 waters and a strong smell of herbs? When did it change?
  11. I just became the happiest little Transformers nerd on the face of the planet! YAY! If they DARE screw this up, I will unleash 'The Thirteen' on their arses so they NEVER ruin an AMAZING MOVIE AGAIN! If Shia LeBiotch has his voice in it=failure!
  12. I was at the park for a short while yesterday. They have started pouring the cement base for the coaster. No pictures as I left my camera in my car, there is more wood in the corner, tons of it. That's all I really have to report on. The park had a surprising amount of people for noon on a Friday during the school year. Lots of kids were there. I was shocked.
  13. The lift supports were originally the auto supports, no wide structure, no catwalks or railings. From there I eliminated certain areas, which made it have the intamin look to it, and then ever footer that is down i put in by hand. I did have to make one tower of lift supports. All in all the lift supports took approximately 4 hours from start to finish. It took forever, it was the most tedious thing in no limits I have ever done, but it looks amazing, so I will probably do that for the rest of my Intamin hypers/mega's (hint for next coaster maybe?) I still have a few things to work on. More comments/criticism welcome, please be as harsh as you like.
  14. Now I know this is not perfect, but I thought I would release it to get some feedback. The double up double up with lift hill in background diving drop overbank small overbank layout Comments/Criticism greatly appreciated. overhaul.zip
  15. I like the constructive criticism, it helps me out a lot. I have been trying my best to work out all the kinks in wooden coasters, my predominant coaster style, so it helps, so thanks.
