Where is this picture taken from?

The train, apparently.

Hi guys this is off topic but i was on screamscape and i was looking through the articles and i came across this one where this 10 year old kid won a coaster design contest and here's the linkhttp://www.wgal.com/news/9275553/detail.html?subid=22100741&qs=1;bp=t Hope you guys injoy this.

Yeah that coaster sucked. There was a big discussion about it over at coasterbuzz.

Theme park review has construction pictures from I think the 4th from the staging area and what looks to be a decently large crane sitting there mixed in with the mess of track and supports. I realy see this being a good sized coaster.

With the exception of a few newer deliveries, most of it has been threre for quite some time.

That coaster was horrible.

Actually to me that coaster doesn't look that bad as what you guys are saying. I'd ride it, Good Job and congrats to him.

I thought it was pretty bad, didnt really make sense, the lift was wierd.

Secondly there were around 1200 entry's and that won?.

Congrats to him, but I think their were several better designs ;)

you're just bitter

I didn't enter the contest and I thought the coaster sucked. I can design better things in half an hour on RCT3, so I'd assume that there were better designs out there.

OK, so back to the August 8th update...

That looks to be a pretty good size building!

Did anyone ever look at the LIM that is in Six Flags Fiesta Texas. I was there last year (never went on the ride since my son is too small). It is a pretty complex looking LIM with many many twists and loops. It would be a nice edition to Cedar Point, but the one in Texas wasn't setting any records for how many people were in line for it.

If I wasn't clear in my last post, I was thinking they may be putting in something similiar to the one in Texas.

I can just about guarantee it won't be anything like that. The supports and turns are already way too spread out in comparison.

I just need to say that the winning coaster for that RCT3 contest really, really sucked...

I just need to agree

At least he was creative. I guess Hershey just wasnt looking for a realistic design.:)

or a good design ;)

I entered the contest, and i would have to say that my coaster, Jaguar Unleashed, was better than that, and all i got was a take five candy bar, nasty! You can see my design here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4kGuPMUWuQ

back to the update, it looks as iff they are finally getting rid of the old WWL footers, and like Bill said that building is looking pretty bad, hope they get thier act together before they start to start adding track to the supports :)
