gale force is terrible...

ACE says it's likely to reopen for graveyard. I'm thinking it's going to be a 4 blue and 2 green car consist.

This is my purely speculative theory based on second hand info, where the blue train stopped in the station, and general idea of how the brakes on these work on what happened. I was at the park, although I was at catering at the time for the event. I know at least one person who was in the station w...

Wonder Wheel at Coney Island is fun

can i just change the color of the rails to something lighter and say i retracked it

That is awesome. What would you charge to model and print a PTC?

all three of Holiday World's coasters.

goliath at new england. never seen a steel ride jackhammer like a wood coaster besides that one.

It still runs the same PTCs it's had since 2008 which were originally on the Hershey Wildcat. (LC's) Wildcat got new GCI trains this year though.

This is definitely a V sync issue. When I turn it on it locks at 30 in complex scenes, off it's at ~55. I run dual monitors (though the game only displays on one), would that make a difference?

Smooth but the train is riding like garbage. It needs to go back to PTC.

Also the first drop to the second drop (curves 3-4-5) is gonna need some work next year, it's getting violent.

That fixed it. Thank you.

Also I got 84 rides on Boulder Dash yesterday.

Actually might have spoken too soon. It's definitely better but it's still dropping in some parts, but its holding at 30fps and pressing the Windows key makes it jump back up. Is it a theme thing?

So ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 the NL1 simulator has been nearly unusable due to FPS drops. It seems to consistently drop to 30 and hold there but it will dip lower with complex scenes. Before Windows 10 it was always pegged at 60 (with V-sync). I can make it come back up to 60 by pressing t...

S&S has been doing weird poop like that lately and it seems to be working for them. compression from a telephoto lens can make things like that look worse than they are too.

Quassy does tickets. Don't buy a wristband

Wildcat can run two since 2007......Lake Compounce can't run two.

That isn't even the problem anymore, I have no motivation. I think if it was a collaborative thing I would have more drive to do something with it. Plus I'm awful at terraforming.

Only if people want in

I've photographed like 1000 live sets and this year flew across the country from Boston to San Francisco to see my favorite band (Neurosis) play their 30th anniversary shows if that's worth anything. Here's some of my live music photography, probably about a third of what I've actually shot over the...

Yearly update: I haven't messed with BD in quite a while, but I'd like to. Unfortunately I don't have the time or knowhow, and possibly most importantly motivation to make this project be as good as I want it to be, so I'd like to open up the possibility of collaboration. I think I mentioned this on...

Lake Compounce and SFNE all weekend

should have been an ARM

coaster mccoasterface

I've had LCs going quite a few times, but the cycle is pretty short so you only get 2-3 snaps max.
