Here is a design I did in NL for Movie Worlds hypothetical B&M sitdown, Named Superman: Kryptonite twister. It is an L shaped design so it could be slotted into a corner and it has 8 inversions.

Ah ok, i was under the impression it said something about a "Teen Market Ride" becasue of the pics caption. And obstructure, tell meeeeee, teeeel meeeeeeeeeee.

Hey Richo, In the first pic in your gyro swing update, what does the yellow banner on the white fence say?

Well what about the Vekoma factor? They have new train designs for their SLCs, Sitdowns and Roller Skaters, so why not? You cant complain of roughness anymore. And they now have a 10 loop LIM coaster (almost 11 inversions, has a 140* overbanked turn) as a premade design, so why not build a good ride without the custom design costs. Id love one. Back for what Rich was saying about Intamins being cookie cutter, I sort of see what you mean, its like its been made in RCT.

Its because the zero-g's (the airtime) occur at the peak of a hill, so if they make the roll at the top of the peak, a floating sensation through the element can be achived. We wont ever see a flat line on at the end of a ride because B&M dont do barrel rolls.Intamins are OK, but B&Ms can be cookie cutter to,o a lot of them seem to follow the loop, zero-g roll, cobral roll, corkscrew formula, give or take an element. Its about time they started making entirley new elements (such as an incilne loop sea serpent roll) , transfering elemtents form other coasters (the incline loop) or using their lesser featured elements (batwing).

Can you actually do a specific course for Theme Parks? I have pretty much given up on a job in the industry, not enough openings and I dont want to do an enginnering course specificaly for ride design becuase if I cant get a job at a manufacuter, Im stuck with a degree for an industry that doesnt really interest me. I think Ill become an Architect. Id suggest just getting a foot in the door at LPS if you can, its the only real oppurtunity in NSW so its better than nothing. If you do get a job there, show that you are switched on and see what happens from there.

Twister is two intertwined waterslides, intertwinded in a similar way to how rope is done. It pretty fast, and exiting but it was a bit painful as I had a sore chest after riding, and it dizzies you pretty bad. But I was way younger when I rode so maybe that contributed. As for best the best slide, well I havent been back since pre - super 8 aqua racer so I can really only say that terror canyon and river rapids were the best slides. But that was then and nowdays I reckon it would have to be Mammoth falls, It looks cool and its like a thunder river with lots of re-ridability. BTW, dont turn into ASHLEE, make your posts a tad longer. But at least they make sense.

Just tell us, Im bored with this game, if you know info, you might keep people in suspense for a day or so, but not a week, thats just being annoying.

Yeah, too bad B&M dont use their cool zero-g rolls on their standups. Im more concerned that we get a coaster with lots of inversions and intenisty, our only operating sit down looper has 2 inversions. As for themeing, the low to the ground sections are the part where theming matters most, dont give a stuff for the high up sections, just some nice dense plantings are good enough for me.

nah, its not....

Looks good, nice and comprehensive photos that give a good feel for the rides. One minor correction in the captions to do with the demon, the vekoma boomerang is not the most common coaster in the world, it is the pinfari MB28, otherwise known as the big apple.

I reckon they could do a fair bit, not neccisarrily all of it in 3 weeks, just the stuff that needs a closure becasue its in the way of operation, I mean, erecting a theme element next to the ride could be done during operation (if it wasnt too close).

The one Im thinking of can be

I would like one of B&Ms flawless floorless's, or maybe a standup, yeah a standup would be good but i'd rather an Intamin because they use Zero-g rolls. Too bad they already have an SLC, inverters are way better. In terms of layout, make it a 7 inversion, we deserve it. But even if it were only $ or so inversions then I'd still be happy. Hmmm, maybe I should just build a B&M by itself as part of a cafe by the side of a main road and charge $7.50 a pop. Even that would be great.

I bet he doesnt know and is just holding us out till the press release, or maybe he gets some fun out of watching us breaking up C words into 3 sylables.

Its like a log ride, but there are underwater tracks, so the tracks can be in a channel like a normal flume or out of the water like a coaster. Good pics: http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery190...3.htm?Picture=2 http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery189...3.htm?Picture=3

What about Cy-Clo-Tron or Cra-Zy-Spin . Cmon, just put us out of our misery or give us clues that actually narrow it down well.

It showed a bit of LPS if I remember correctly, so I imagine it will be about Aussie parks. Someone's gotta tell me about it after its been on.

Just to let everyone know, Getaway is having a "Battle of the Theme Parks" story tommorow night. Cant watch it though, Im working and my VCR isnt :mad: Wheeee, 200 posts.

the 3/4 idea is a good one, but the seats would need to be out on those "spokes" (like on the 54 rider model) so more seats would fit in, because if the seats just wrapped around the tower close in the circumfrence would not allow enough seats to fit in. Another GD idea is a wind generator on top, one decent wind generator can power a small town, so therefore it could power most of DW.

Watched the video, still looks pretty good, but the transitions do look quite rough. It sort of has some sim coaster type rides, but there are lots of good realistic rides like the Giga coaster and the inverter. I would get it but my computer wouldn't run it.

How can you really say that the Dee is going up to DW if both parties have denied it?have you seen solid evidence? and if both parties are denying it than why not just accept that its not going up there?

Hey, I know, I know, "Carnage", It doesn't exactly sound oceanic, but with a few busted up buildings and maybe a disaster (ish) theme it could fit in, especially if it were a coastal disaster like a tidal wave or sea storm. And it would sort of match with Cyclone, despite the rides being seperated. But I doubt any of my speculation is right.

Sounds, cool. Anyone who frequents DW got any photos for us? Be cool when the components start getting delivered though. I have no idea what the name will be, I kept getting the word crash come into my head and it quashed my attempts at thinking of a name.

I believe it was Titan at World Expo Park. The same park also had a suspended roller coaster.
