RollerCoaster Tycoon World Beta POV - Accell (An Intamin Accelerator Coaster)

It's been a while since everyone has heard about when the 2nd Beta Weekend of Rollercoaster Tycoon World will be. Initially we were told there would be a Beta weekend at the end of October & 2nd weekend at the end of November. However, feedback from the initial beta test phase resulted in a huge overhaul of the games most important system, the coaster builder. Not that the spline based system didn't have some merit as it will allow for limitless coaster combinations. Unfortunately the spline system needed much tweaking, and there are certain types of track parts that would just be better pre-built (zero-g rolls, vertical loops, & straight track anyone?). Now it's been months since we were promised the 2nd beta weekend, and instead, us fans of RCT World have been thwarted with another Alienware live broadcast, and numerous ambiguous blog posts. I know that the developers are working hard, and I'm glad. I would much rather have a smooth running & final product, instead of one that is ripe with problems. Did anyone play the Beta Release of RollerCoaster Tycoon World? Is anyone planning on buying the game? What are your thoughts? #RollerCoasterTycoonWorld #RCTW #RCTWorld #RCTWorldBeta #RCTWBeta #HowLongIsTooLong #AbsoluteCoaster #ThemePark #AmusementPark #VideoGame #SimulationVideoGame #SimulationGame #Simulation

RollerCoaster Tycoon World Beta Intamin Coaster POV

It's been a while since everyone has heard about when the 2nd Beta Weekend of Rollercoaster Tycoon World will be.  Initially we were told there would be a Beta weekend at the end of October & 2nd weekend at the end of November.

However, feedback from the initial beta test phase resulted in a huge overhaul of the games most important system, the coaster builder.  Not that the spline based system didn't have some merit as it will allow for limitless coaster combinations.  Unfortunately the spline system needed much tweaking, and there are certain types of track parts that would just be better pre-built (zero-g rolls, vertical loops, & straight track anyone?).

Now it's been months since we were promised the 2nd beta weekend, and instead, us fans of RCT World have been thwarted with another Alienware live broadcast, and numerous ambiguous blog posts.

I know that the developers are working hard, and I'm glad.  I would much rather have a smooth running & final product, instead of one that is ripe with problems.  Did anyone play the Beta Release of RollerCoaster Tycoon World?  Is anyone planning on buying the game?  What are your thoughts?

Mind Eraser - On Ride POV | Six Flags America [Vekoma SLC]





Brand New POV of a Vekoma "Classic" called Mind Eraser!  There was a period when every park seemed to be building one of these out of the box, duplicated, disaster of a theme park ride.  I feel the coaster community and the general public have a pretty unanimous feeling about these roller coasters, they're terrible!



This one was also one of the roughest, and jerkiest of the variety that i've had the displeasure of experiencing (and I've been on 4 different ones).  I liked Six Flags America overall, but not really this ride.  Somehow, I did manage to ride it twice.  It's tucked away in the back of a corner of the park though so not a very "high traffic" area to begin with.



I'm glad that Vekoma has redesigned their track models, i wish parks would give them a chance, because i've heard they give alot better ride experience.  Also, the new trains that Vekoma uses also improves the ride experience.  Lots of parks that have these rides should at least consider doing that to help.  It's not like the structures are completely unsalvageable.  We've also seen now that the track on steel rides like this can be replaced.  (HINT HINT SIX FLAGS)
