I finally got a chance to look at this. Another wonderful, realistic park for you.

I can appreciate all the neatness of the hacking and overall effort made on pulling off. This style has launched quite a trend in the community and you can definitely be proud of that.

I think overall the park felt a little hollow, but that is largely because it is a Six Flags park. I didn't actually like some of the coasters. I did really like the Penguin sculpture on the rapids ride and that whole part was pulled off very nicely. You've always been great at waterparks and I thought you did a nice job on the funnel-type ride thing. That was pretty cool. The architecture was suitable and effective. I particularly think that the restaurant in Bugs Bunny land is one of the best buildings I've ever seen. I love it. The go-karts were also impressive. Incredible effort all around - I just think that as a peep it doesn't grab me the way some other parks have. Congratulations again.

Congrats, Brian! I'll be sure to check it out when I get a chance, but this looks like it lived up to everything I thought it would be!

I wanted to revive this topic because one of the main things that I loved about NE circa 2004-2005 or whatever was the music forum and how active it was with Jellybones, pBob, uncle ca!ch, mantis, and everyone else. Anyway, the music forum was a major influence on my musical taste and definitely shaped how I listen to music today. I've gotten involved with college radio and have had a radio show for over a year. I listen to all sorts of stuff I could not even imagine existed a few years ago. NE helped get me into Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips and other "indie heavy hitters". Nowadays I listen to everything from jazz to drone to ambient to noise.

I guess my phases were like this:

MTV/hip hop - 3rdish grade - 6th grade
emo/classic rock - 7th-9th grade
"indie" - 9th-12th grade
shoegaze and slowcore - freshman year college
other - sophomore year and beyond

I wish this forum had more active music discussions like the good ol' days, but that's okay. I understand the policy about no links, although once upon a time, it was a great feature.

I have a last.fm account here if you want to check out more about my musical taste.

What trainer do you use, if any?

I was able to demolish the ride and rebuild it from memory and using land colors and such, but I am still encountering the error with different rides from time to time. The freeze seems to happen when I try to do something much more "questionable" than the initial problem. (ie, now it will do it when I try to change a track type to crooked house with a log train, for example) Originally, the problem occurred when I was trying to test an inverted roller coaster, which shouldn't have been a problem.

Essentially, I can work around this, but it would be nice to know why this sort of thing happens. I use 8cars 8.32 (the one that says "version" on the top bar) for most stuff except it can't edit rides for me, and for ride editing I use 8.21.

My MacBook Pro can run Windows XP (allowing me to play RCT) and OSX. That flexibility makes it a lot more appealing than a PC. Also, it survived a freshman year beer explosion debacle. As far as I'm concerned, I have no problems with Apple computers. iPods and shit, though, that's a rip off. They do have quite an image now, but to be perfectly honest, I like my computer because of its functionality and superiority over any other machine I've used.
