This mod appears to use the phrase widdle birdie a lot........

If so, then this person should get the kudos for getting the name right first!!! :D


JCOAC, Does it really matter? :roll:

Everybody knew it was going to be called Intimidator, they were just hoping for park history sake that White Lightning would return. Still can't believe they are using that name at Cedar Point. They could have saved it for our next coaster in a couple of years. But then again why can't we share the name like we do with Hurler and Intimidator!!!!!!!!!

Um, there was one on display outside the theatre. Doubt seriously there was actually one in that box. Don't believe everything you read on the forums.

I got my CoasterStock gift today. It's just a CD-ROM presskit. It does have some better hi-res images though, which led me to notice something. On the pic of the entrance area to the ride, Rocket Power is nowhere to be seen. Seeing as how all the other rides (including the kids rides) seem to be accurately portrayed, I wonder if maybe they aren't going to move it elsewhere in the park, or scrap it all together?
#34431
Well , if you watch the fly by video , you can see thatt Afterburn isn't on the videos/pictures , the water park , nor thunder road. They just didn't put it in there for some odd reason.
#34432
My guess for some of the rides not being there would be because there not really close to the coaster like the sky tower and nighthawk is and yes rocket power ride is close but not really needed in show off the ride.
#34433
If Badnitrus had to model every single ride in the park for the videos it would take him forever.

It was probably left out for the sake of time and ease, just like the trim brakes on our hyper.

Just sayin.... don't take the animation so literally that the trim's kill your buzz on day 1.
#34437
Exactly... and besides that , the only thing it adds is detail. The overall purpose of the video is to show of the Intimidator , not Afterburn , or Rocket power airtime,

I just got my Coasterstock gift , and I must say , that I am impressed!
