At DL BTRR has been now been closed for over a week for refurbishment. A group of SG decided to undo the ropes at the enterence and walk down the que to the front of the ride. They walked out the front and security told them that it is closed. Do not enter because it is a safety hazzard. I counted about 40 SG.
Then of course on the weekend, the SG claimed that the Mark Twain was to be open and running. The Mark Twain is not opening until May 28. There are being major repairs being done. There is no engine and the wheel on the back of the boat was put on incorrectly. For the Columbia, the baot had new track issues and was unable to run until Monday.
I wonder what I will see today at the park? I have seen too many SG over the weekend.

Turkeyham... you forget that we are talking about SG's here... the kid was 3 or 4 from what i hear....How young was the kid? I thought the kids were to be inward on the cars while the parents prevent them from escaping. That is a SG parent not paying attention.
Small Worlds HAL 2000 system was programed by the Over Takers... but they outsourced the work to New Delhi after what their internal IT Department did to the Alien Encounter ride.... <mumbles> stupid stitch attraction </mubles>The system was programmed by the Overtakers ??

Semi-OT: I am an avid player of the game RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. For those unfamiliar with it, it allows you to build your own amusement parks. I have now gotten to the point that I put little fences around all the walkways, even though the simulated guests do not stray from the paths....

Love it. Of course, if the guests are well-behaved, it's just not realistic, no matter how cool the graphics. :D:PatchOBlack wrote:Semi-OT: I am an avid player of the game RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.

My friend has that game. He has told me it is fun. He occasionally forgets to check the safety bars and the riders fall out.
How do I get a hold of that game? I think I would get a nice kick out of that.

Yes, the "peeps", as they are called, will complain if things aren't to their liking in the park. From poor music choices on rides to too much litter.darph nader wrote:Oh Yeah,,,,,,,,Sure,,,,,,,,and I bet they don't complain,listen the CMs,and are just 'sooo' happy it wants to make you barf?
Actually, the guests can get a bit unruly if you can't keep them entertained, then they will go around vandalizing things unless you have security guards to watch them. Also, if you have a "family"-type group with young children, occasionally you will see on of the children pitching a fit as a grown-up tries to calm them down.BRWombat wrote:Love it.

Odd. RCT3 does not require any manual checking of the safety bars on rides. I suppose it is assumed that the employee running the ride does that for you. As to how to get a copy of the game, it is a product of Atari, so you can buy the Windows version from them, and it was ported to the Macintosh by Aspyr. The only drawback with the Mac version (which I have) is that they never converted the "Wild!" supplement over, just "Soaked!". Oh, well, I still have a lot of fun with it...turkeyham wrote:My friend has that game. He has told me it is fun. He occasionally forgets to check the safety bars and the riders fall out.

You can pick up the peeps and drop them into lakes, if they are unhappy and you do this, it makes the happiness level rise...
You can also not finish tracks on a roller coaster and send it flying :D:

Perhaps this works in real life? I think if we picked up SGs and dropped them in the lake, it would raise the happiness level of the CMs (and non-SG guests).ktulu wrote:You can pick up the peeps and drop them into lakes, if they are unhappy and you do this, it makes the happiness level rise...
Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

I'm not sure about the "dunk the peeps" trick. Most of the time, if you drop them into water, they start drowning. Perhaps there is a certain amount of "happiness" they get from being rescued?ktulu wrote:You can pick up the peeps and drop them into lakes, if they are unhappy and you do this, it makes the happiness level rise...

Yes, you can remove part of the track. This will lead to a crash, an explosion, and then you have to repair things...
Now, that I'll buy! Of course, before each dunking, we would need an announcement of what exactly the SG did to earn their trip into the lake. :cat1:CptnSkippy wrote:Perhaps this works in real life?
