  4. Three types of G force (And each of those can either be positive or negative depending on direction) Lateral g force is side to side. For example when you go around a corner in the back seat of a bus, or you go around sharp bends on a wild mouse coaster, its lateral forces squishing you sideways. You'd tend to call negative a pull to the left and positive a pull to the right as I understand it. Accelerational / linear g force is front to back. For example when you launch on a coaster its positive. If you suddenly slam on the brakes in your car and lurch foward in your seat, thats negative. Brace your neck! But Vertical g force is the most common one cited when talking about coasters. When its positive, your bum is being squished down into the seat and you feel heavy. For example when you go through a loop its positive. Or when you hit the brakes at the bottom of Giant Drop, that's also positive. Negative is what is known as airtime, for example when you go over the tophat or hills on superman thats negative because you are actually being lifted out of your seat and only the bar holds you in. At the very top of Batwing when the car changes direction from up to down, you feel negative g force then too. Weightlessess occurs when the vertical g force is exactly zero. For example at the top of the swing on the Claw, or the initial moment of dropping when the door opens on Wedgie or Aqualoop.

  6. I've made three videos on youtube for this park so far. As of today it is the only full replica of the park made from RCT3. I started with the Green Lantern, then the Superman Escape and finished with the Arkham Asylum. all as best done as they could be made in this game/simulator. I've had the game for over 8 years and never really thought to build something like a park, or replica. So I started with DreamWorld first with the original contents of the game. Then after finding it wasn't good enough anymore, I started to look more into the Custom scenery side of it. And there and only there was where my future of my WB MovieWorld replica would begin! So here's a few pictures of the park so far, and I'll do a separate post on the videos. Let me know what you think? Even after the videos in my next post there will still be more to come!

  8. Negative Gs is the feeling of weightlessness, so over airtime hills. While positive Gs is the force being pushed down onto your body, so in sudden direction changes or fast speeds Example: Superman Escspe launch is positive Gs while the airtime hills and negative

  9. Before making it to Plopsa/Efteling, I made a little stop in Northern France to get some creds at Bagatelle. Not the best first impression tbh, but this is actually the worst looking part of the park - perhaps along with the Triops zone. The core of Bagatelle is quite pleasant to walk through however. Triops is actually the original Invertigo. After its troubled start at Liseberg in 1997, it moved several times and landed here. Reviews generally regard this model better than the regular Boomerang, and after 3 laps (both ends and a middle row), I ended up with the same opinion. A bit jolty and rattly at moments, but the comfort is still significantly improved upon the overused brother. As a result, I was able to enjoy the surprising intensity of this shuttle coaster design a lot more. The OTSR are excessively bulky imo, but the face to face seating is a really cool idea and fits well the backwards/forward Invertigo experience. Gaz Express sounds suspiciously similar to Pégase Express at Astérix. However, this one is a 1987 Soquet family coaster which underwent several name and theme changes. I actually quite like the new scenery. It is light-hearted and fun, coupled with some striking fire effects. That raised a little my expectations, but the ride itself is rather underwhelming now that I've been on more modern and exciting family coasters. Still a great fit for the park nonetheless. Famous Jack looked like the dreadful Viking SBF spinning wild mouse at Energylandia. Thankfully this one doesn't have OTSR! Still a very uncomfortable and unenjoyable coaster however. Bagatelle is a decent place. Good compact thrill coaster, decent family rides and the park is mostly pleasant with the scenery. There's some dated and/or out-of-place stuff like the Wacky Worm (ugh), but I still had a good time there. With some smart investments they could easily overcome their flaws

  12. Definitely this video very recently uploaded by TPR takes the cake. I had the great honour of riding both sides. Both were fantastic coasters. It'll be a year since I've ridden this coaster during my trip to Orlando. If only public outcry could do for Dragon Challenge what it did for Whizzer at Six Flags Great America... RIP 1999-2017
