My Little Pony: The Park Update 1

On the wonderful computer game RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, I am creating a Theme Park dedicated to My Little Pony Weird combination, isn't it? There are 2 roller coasters and 2 thrill rides.


The over view of the park before I added Fluttershy's coaster. Visible are Rarity's Rush, a inverting steel roller coaster, the entrance building, the entrance courtyard, and Angel's Twist, a twister trill ride.


The entrance building is a castle themed off My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. With most of the roof a balcony, a candy tree orchard and a water tower on one of the corners. Produce off the Orchard is sold in the candy stall.


Angel's Twist is a twister thrill ride themed on Fluttershy's pet Rabbit, Angel. 


Rarity's Rush is a Schwarzkopf manufactured steel roller coaster. It has 4 inversions, a vertical loop, a cut back, and 2 interlocking corkscrews.  




Busch Gardens Tampa Bay: Cheetah Hunt!

I was so stoopid to forget to add Cheetah Hunt, at Busch Gardens to my post, so here it is:

Cheetah Hunt is a steel launched roller coaster manufactured by Intamin. It opened in may last year, with a new cheetah exhibit. The ride has 3 unexpected launches, one at 56km/h, another at 97km/h, and the last at 72km/h. It only has one inversion, a heartline roll. The main element of the roller coaster is a figure-eight movement high above the pathway(shown in background of picture), shortly after is the main drop is a directional changing airtime hill, then the heartline roll. After exiting the inversion, the track experiences several short banked turns through a rock fixture, including several near-misses. Then the third launch occurs, afterwards the track makes its way back to the station with airtime hills and directional changing airtime hills.

Kingda Ka: Tallest Roller Coaster In The World

Kingda Ka, located at Six Flags: Great Adevnture, is the tallest roller coaster in the world. It 's tallest drop is 127m tall and the height of the roller coaster is 139m tall. It can also reach a top speed of 206km/h. It is a stratacoaster, featuring a hydraulic launch, an enormous top hat, and a camelback hill leading off to the brakes and back to the station. The only other stratacoaster is Top Thrill Dragster, at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio. It occasionally has rollbacks. A rollback is when the train isn't accelerated fast enough to make it to the top of the coaster, so it rolls back towards the station. The are brakes though so that if there is a rollback, it will return safely to the station, giving the riders another ride.
