About T-Express, I always think of a freakin' low clearance at crossovers - barely passed a Tunnel Test. :o

Never really noticed how long T-Express's trains are.

^ They are really long! Not sure how many people can ride... maybe over 28 passengers? :)

36 people, to be exact. ;) Seriously when the thing runs two trains it already has excellent capacity; when all three trains are on the track the thing is probably a complete people-eater.

4 passengers per car, and 9 cars per train... wow "excellent capacity" as you say! :)

^^ Same for El Toro, except we only have two trains. I swear, if it had the blocking to support that 3rd train it would have capacity as good as, if not better than even Nitro.

Except Six Flags' staff is probably too incompetent to operate it with three trains.

Oh hell no it wouldn't.
It takes so long to load the "fat people hate" train. 3 trains would stack as bad as Bizarro does.

Of course I didn't consider how slow they're loading trains this year (5-10 minute dispatches every time I went, ouch!). I'm just talking theoretically here :)

EDIT: Also, this: [I'm Suuuuuper unorganized with my desktop haha]

(It's an RMC Steel Coaster, using Intamin track to change the lift sound)

On a desktop, I used to have as many icons as you did, but I soon had to reduce them to a minimum level, like over 50 to less than 10 for a more better PC performance. Don't these icons affect the graphic performance for NL2 or other games? ;)

I believe they do, but I'm way too lazy to actually do anything about it :lol:

I've always loved how Hulk's zero-g has the kink in it.

^Nice. That's a popular photo spot in the park. Apparently you also caught Zumanjaro going up too :)
