Hello, everyone. Thought I would introduce myself here.

I'm Squid, and I'm one of the scenario designers for UCES.

To answer a couple of questions and clear up some misconceptions...

To my understanding, the flying scooter ride did not make it into the set. I believe it's still not finished. However, I've been told there's at least 3 new UCES exclusive rides in the set.

Yes, the focus of the set is on scenarios, not scenery. We felt that this was an overlooked part of the game and wanted to emphasize it.

I've been told the site should be able to handle a very heavy traffic load. Not sure on the specs, but we're supposed to be prepared.

The backdrops are actually made up of about 12 different pieces, used over and over. I believe some of them include larger than normal pieces, to cut down on how many are required to produce the effect.

There are over 100 new themed tracks.

iamunknown67, there's also another 1/4 tile water channel in the set, plus a few dozen scenery objects created exclusively for this set.

Legal concerns... well, the license agreement says that you're allowed to create and distribute things for the game with the scenario editor, and that was the primary tool for this set. We are NOT making any sort of profit off of this whatsoever. Also, our topics and ideas were set well before Time Twister was announced. Our original release date was Oct. 1st, but we were unable to reach that goal. We wanted to delay so that we didn't have to rush the project.

Hopefully, there will be something in the set for everyone. And, once it's in your hands, we'd love to see what you can make with what we've provided.
