Roller Coaster Tycoon

You just gave me a thought Clarkbar:

Sonic Boom...That sounds like one helluva name for a Thrust Air 2000...and in accordance with an earlier thread of a few months ago...hmmm...

I think so too, write CP and tell them that if they get one to name it that!

That's Exactly what I thought at first! I thought a sonic boom only occurred when something hit mach 1, which I think is 500 some MPH. Oh well, it all good no matter what. I'm happy to hear My computer is not playing games with me. :)

I like the name too. They could also name the TA2K Mach 3, and have it sponsored by Gillette ;).

Hey Jerry, my brother has one that hits 210 and when it hits the station at 190mph!

I'd hate to be on that thing if a station-brakes failure happens.

A sonic boom occurs when an object, such as a plane, exceeds the speed of sound, which is about 740mph in the air at sea level. The speed of sound way up in the air is slower though which makes it easier for a plane to make a sonic boom. WHat happens is that circular waves go in all directions around the plane. When the plane exceeds the speed of sound though, the waves cannot keep up with it, which leaves all of the sound generated by the plane behind it. I'm not sure what exactly what causes a 'sonic boom' or what it really is.

I have one that uses the whole map, and all it does is launched lift, drop, launched lift, drop, etc. It hits 212.

Yeah, Mach 3 it a good one too.

I used practically the whole map, (over 100,000 feet of track) and I can get it up to 230mph.

Station brakes failure would be pretty cool at 10 MPH! LOL. I forget what mine does when it hits station. It's fun to put in trick-track at those high speeds,though!
What's the highest rating anyone has got on a coaster over 100 MPH? I know it's tough to achieve high ratins on intense rides. I did manage to recieve a 10+(very high) rating for my Armageddon whcih reached 102 MPH. B&M launch, with sitdown,non-looping trains.

Any prospects for a greatly enhanced sequal to RCT? Larger maps maybe? There were rumors of Microsoft entering the race with a game of their own, which would have been a good thing.
