Fiesta! / Elder Island

    As some of you (especially guys who used to be over at RCPro) may already know, the RCT gaming community, as well as the world in general, lost an awesome person today. Nick Pantalone, known by his username "The Storm Runner" at a few sites, died this morning after a long battle with cancer. For those of you who knew Nick, he was just as nice and as genuine of a person as you could ever hope to know. As a HersheyPark employee, he was someone who had a great passion for roller coasters, and he kept that up until his final days.

    Here is the link to a story about Nick that was posted by Penn Live earlier today:

    Although it looks like he created an account here at NE, he was never really one for building for any reason other than his own enjoyment. Back when I frequented RCPro, he had this awesome park going called Elder Island. Every so often he'd post pics of the park on facebook. In his memory, I thought it would be cool to post up a few screens from the park. And what better time than Fiesta? I'd love to find a dl link if I can. I seem to remember him releasing a few versions of it as some point or another.

    Anyway, here are the screens. We will all miss you, man.

    Wow, I used to follow this park religiously over at RCPro. Just the other day I was thinking about it, wondering whatever had happened to it.

    That's such terrible news, my prayers go out to his family and friends.

    Wow, that is heartbreaking. I figured it was an older person, but clicked the story and saw he was the same age as me :(

    You've done a great thing sharing this.

    This is really sad to read. It's sad for the coaster community to loose someone, especially someone so young.

    Those screens bring back quite a lot of memories of RCPro. Good post Zburns.
