Photoshops / Mock-ups

To be quite honest, you don't have any power over anyone by not posting that picture.
Not that many people care about something that probably doesn't have anything to do with Cedar Point's new ride anway.

Ok, i guess i wont post it, and i wasnt referring to having power its justa saying. jeese some people.

lol i would like to see it still if it makes any difference...

Well, I just watched Supercoasters on tape. They do not show any coaster layout that has not yet been built. The Intamin coaster they show on the computer screen is Expedition Ge-force. See here: http://www.rcdb.com/ig977.htm

The inverted they show with the blue track is the Eurostar traveling coaster. See here: http://www.coastersandmore.de/rides/eurostar/eurostar_eng.shtml This ride was a collaberation of Intamin and Giovanola.

The other coaster they showed (the one with the very tight turns) is the Zamperla Volare model flying coaster. An Example can be seen here: http://www.rcdb.com/ig2516.htm

What do all three of these coasters have in common? Werner Stengel. So there was nothing in that show to get all worked up about. If everyone can wait till Tuesday, I will post screenshots from the video and point out why what they showed ARE the rides I listed. (I really need a life). Until them, I am off to PA for some white water rafting.

By the way, NICE concept TTD 120. That is probably the closest to the actual layout as of yet.

No loops TTD 120mph? I do love the design...looks like a blast!...but you're leaving out the aquatrax, the "Intamin X", and the 525 footer? lol

boy it is awesome to have leverage over people. i can see now why CP enjoys it so much. ;)

Wikipedia said:
The word leverage is also used with metaphorical meanings of the word force. 1) the total number of people in a professional firm, department, office, or other practice unit divided by the number of partners. 2) Positional advantage; power to act effectively

TTD - you can use alt+"print screen" to copy the current window onto the clipboard. Then paste it into paint (or whatever) and save it as a picture to post on here. Beats using a digital camera to take a picture of the screen.

Just wanted to let everyone know, SUPERCOASTERS is on the National Geograpic channel at 9:00 eastern time they talk about 1000ft... yes 1000ft coasters being built in the 1930's. you have to watch it.

I tried watching that. I don't get that channel. I was really disappointed!

Did they show them building the coasters??

The 1000 foot coaster he was talking about was a concept someone had to have a coaster on the cables on the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a couple of well thought out sketches that someone had. Not plausible, but just someone thinking outside the box.

Ooh, I went to WV for white water rafting! Be careful!

^Yeah, be very careful. Or, you might wind up in a scene like Deliverance.

Just kidding. I am from West Virginia. Although, you may want to protect your shoes as they are not a commodity here in hillbilly land. ;)

Back on topic. I wish I had photoshop so I could make a go of it.

I went down the New River in West Virginia. It was so much fun & the food they had was so good! I wouldn't mind going again; I went about 11 years ago; I was only 19.

Yeah, White Water Rafting is awesome. Sorry E X IT said i cant post it too bad. ;)

Funny, I am from here and have never been rafting. I've wanted to go, but haven't found anyone to go with me. Everyone seems to be afraid to go. I would pick one of the milder rapids to travel, at least the first time. The New River bridge is awesome! I saw some people bungee jumping off of it. I went to see it with my grandparents the day it was officially opened.

I went with Scouts probably 10 years ago on the Youghiogheny River. It was pretty fun, but a little scary (at least at the time). We lost one person during one run through rapids. It took a little bit to get them back in the boat.

To quote Chicken Little - "Who are we talking about?"

A little mock-up. Kind of similar to others. I got bored and didn't feel like finishing. Plus it just gets way too confusing once you pass the few turns near where I ended.
