Theme Park Discussion

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that Steel Vengeance had a minor accident today. Two trains collided in the station at about 5-10MPH. No one was injured even though people were taken away in the CP's ambulance but later released back to the park. The ride is down until further notice. They did cycle it a few times tonight but said it won't reopen. I heard reports about damage to the train and track but I find that highly unlikely since they cycled it a few times.

Hopefully it's not down for too long and if there is damage it's minor and can be fixed ASAP

Well, I could try but it depends of when it'll be held.

What time of the year (roughly) are you planning to hold the contest, that’s probably a good starting point and then we can find a date around then that works for most, if not all.

This is EXACTLY what I'm asking. When are YOU available for this contest?

You guys say when you can do it, or weekends you specifically can't do it. I'll compile the results. Weekend with most available participants wins.

Womp's thread of stuff
NoLimits Coaster

Got a stainless steel texture on it now. I might try and source a better tiled image and re-do it, as it looks a little bit big at the moment.. It's difficult to find a decent sized high quality tiled image that's not covered in bloody watermarks. Plus it'll look better in NL2 with a mild reflection and other fancy NL2MAT stuff on it.
I also added a textured 'Delorean' badge on the rear bumper, just like on the real thing!!

And it has Delorean wheel textures on the wheels as well.. I couldn't really show those and the front/back of the car in the same shot. Trust me, they're there. Still no progress on Mr. Fusion since the previous post, hahaha.

That would be an expansion joint. It allows the length of the track to expand and contract with varying temperature. Most B&Ms incorporate the expansion joint into the transfer, but there are exceptions. Goliath at La Ronde has the same type of joint.
My guess is that the temperature variations in these regions are larger, requiring a larger joint.
