Six Flags park's are just my favorite kind to build ok?

First two are from the dump, third is new, 4th is old but updated.
First Shows the parks generic boomerang clone Flashback. Second shows the station to the the Parks B&M small Hyper Goliath (2006) Third shows the Acme "Rockin' Rocket" with Roadrunner and Wylie stuck under an anvil. Fourth shows the BTR.

Also does anyone know a better image host? or atleast how to get them full size, etc? other than photobucket to please.

Dude you have issues with the amount you are building on. And not in a good way lol settle down and focus your energy into getting something done, rather than starting tons and tons of new projects.

That being said, Screen 1 is some of my favourite work from you. Screen 2 isn't on the same level as your usual work, maybe because it just isnt finished and refined enough. Screen 3, again the same as 2, its nice, but seems a step back in your skill. Screen 4 is one of the better screens here, but when doing a B:TR you need to make it unique somehow, as it's been done so many times before you have to find something to make it different, right now you are getting there and are on the right track, but you need to make it shine more.

The overall feel I get here is that you are still trying to find your style and the style that suits you, at the moment things dont seem to be refined and there seems to be a mix of different building styles across the screens, it's great to see, but you need to make sure that you are improving in skill, not taking steps back.

But yeah, nice work. Just dont start another project soon

oh and upload them to tinypic if you dont want to use photobucket.

Yea, I knew I would get flack for that. To be honest though I mostly just build for myself. I just dont want to focus on just one or two projects. Do I Want to share my work, get critiques and compliments, win accolades and get points? ofcourse, but that isnt the reason I build.

That said, Im feeling like this is alot better than any of my work in the past, I certainly dont feel like Im taking a step backwards.

Haha! I love how now whenever I post i'm gonna get the "i build for myself" comment haha.

Yeah, I know, I dont ever focus on one or two projects myself, it just seems you are turning into robbie with like 20 things on the go

And don't take my comments above the wrong way, you know I love your work. They weren't being negative, they were meant to be positive. I don't think you are taking a step backwards, just in some of those screens the work isnt the same skill as some of your other work.

I wasnt really directing that towards you but just everybody in general who says I have to many projects going. And yes, you and them are right.

Do you really expect me to get better with every screen I post?

Yes Austin, Yes I do

Everything looks great but, does the angled brakes work on the hyper? I was just wondering.

I use photobucket. It gives you the image code, copy, paste it right in here.

It does look good, but I think you should slow down and nail one of your projects first, so im in agreement with louis here. Also, I agree with him about BTR, make it your own, I know you have the skill to do it.

Good start.

Use the direct link on imageshack, works for me.

Hey Louis, sorry for coming of like that last night, I was in a bad mood.

Panther-Nahh, there is a brake on the flat spot at the top there set at about 12 MPH so it appears to slow down and actually semi-works.

Tdub-I used up all of my photobucket account and it wont let me create another (even under a different email) IDK why.

Thats what Ive been doing but it seems to delete your pictures automatticlly over time, all of my fiesta screens are gone

For Image shack, just right click on the picture and select properties. Copy and paste the URL to the img attachment botton on here. That's how I post mine.

Content wise, I'm happy to see that you have put some depth into your buildings, so well done there.

or in firefox right click "copy image location" or just "view image" and copy the URL at the top.

anyways, that third screen is beautiful, I absolutely love that structure.

Thanks everyone for the Comments!

How about a little park background/history.
The park opened in 1989 with a few flats, a Shoot the Chute, a Logflume and the Boomerang Roller Coaster, but the next year opened a used Vekoma Double looper and double corkscrew named Revolution. In 1993 the park brought in a Mack Wild Mouse, and in 1994 opened a unique Intamin Bobsled.
The park was left with some debt from the purchases and didnt expand much, infact took out multiple flat rides and left the Boomerang closed for much of the 96', 97 and 98' seasons.
In the Summer of 1998 Six Flags announced that it would be purchasing the park, and would be bringing in 3 new coasters for the 10th anniversery in 1999, however somewhere along the line 2 of these rides were cancelled (more on that later) and the only New ride that opened was a Batman: The Ride clone. Six Flags also relocated the Revolution to the new Gotham City area, Painted it Lime Green and Themed it to the Riddler, advertising it as a "new" ride. The Next year New trains were bought in for it and the former trains were cannibilized, relocated to the SNNO Boomerang which was refurbushed and reopened as Flashback. Other major spending spree's included a new restraunt, shops and the Gotham City Stunt Show.
It wasnt untill 2004 when the park would see another new ride, V2. It was (and still is) the Tallest and Fastest coaster in the park and the whole Pacific Northwest region.
2006 saw the addition of a new, 17 Million USD B&M hyper coaster, Goliath.
In 2007 a new small family coaster replaced the aging Wild Mouse, Pandemonium.

The park will be adding a significant new attraction for the 2011 season as it is the 50th Anniveresary of the Company. More detials will be released later!

New screen of V2, in the meantime.

why does everybody use that color scheme on that type of coaster? It gets boring. But fantastic screen. Not the most interesting screen but it does its job for what it is.

That's wonderful! Best screen so far imo.

because thats the color Six Flags uses for most of their original impulse coasters and steel venom at Valleyfair!

That footer looks big, wtf?

Now that is a screen Austin <3

Dot-I thought about theming it to Superman: The Escape, I still might actually, just depends on if another ride takes the superman theme.

Robbie-Ha, thanks.

InVersed-Not to mention Wicked Twister is very close in colo(u)r.

Goliath-Look closely at the corners and you can see what I did

Louis-Thanks, though I dont see what's so great haha.


This took awhile to work out.


Different Angle

why were the last screens so much better than the ones in the OP ? I love the tan building on the right!
