UPDATE:

After some deliberation with fellow Imagineer @spacemt354, I have personally contacted fellow armchair Imagineers who I think would be active and show interest in playing.

So without further ado, here is the current cast list:

- @spacemt354
- @TheOriginalTiki
- @MA Screamin'
- @mickeyfan5534
- @orlando678-
- @RMichael21
- @Sam4D23
- @Matt7187
- @DSquared

That's nine slots filled folks. We need at least ten people to start the game, although I will allow up to sixteen players.

Remember folks, the Road Trip is just around the corner!

Also, as an added bonus, I have decided that it might be a little unfair only people I personally contacted to join the game if all slots fill up before sign-ups.

So therefore, as an added surprise, sign-ups begin right now! :D

You now have until March 7th to sign up. If all slots are filled earlier, the first challenge will begin on the nearest Sunday.

The new max amount of competitors is sixteen, due to the high amount of people on the standby list.


LET THE ROAD TRIP COMMENCE!

Also, just for clarification, signups will be on this thread. The main game will be on a completely different thread.

Here's some photos from my trip to Discovery Kingdom yesterday. It ended up being a Bring a Friend for Free day for passholders which basically equates to hell on earth! I managed to get three rides on Superman within 20 minutes before the line got bad, but after that the ONLY thing I did the whole day before going home was the freaking Vekoma Boomerang.

Anyways, main point of the trip was to get Joker construction photos, so without further adieu.

The old photo booth for "Roar" is still in tact.

Pre-lift bunny hill action!

Was VERY surprised to see this part of the track completed. Must have just been in the past couple days as I've been obsessively checking for updates!

This is where the third and final inversion happens.

I have ZERO clue what these blue things are for! They were sitting along the side of Joker's lift hill.

I present to you the ONE ride I actually waited in line for, for some reason...

Yay, back to RMC "flying turn" beauty!

Really glad I snapped this photo. This will probably end up being the last remaining relic of "Roar" left in the park before Joker officially opens.

Aaaaah, yeaaa

The "step under flip".
11694921_1057708980934930_5275555528736790130_n.jpg


One of my favorite spots in the park. :)
12524259_1057709394268222_4744396651292878121_n.jpg


The west side of the park has a MASSIVE amount of palm trees surrounding the animal areas.

Still hard to wrap by mind around how steep this is!

Oh my gosh...that last pic!:jawdrop:

It's almost a straight drop 90 degrees

The weird thing about the drop is that from some angles it looks super steep, and other angles it basically looks like a giant curved drop. The mix of the curve and the steepness definitely makes that first drop stand out visually, especially since it's right next to the park entrance.

The inversions look spectacular in person. The ride is going to have a SUPER intense first half with that drop, the step under flip, and the zero G stall all right next to each other. It's going to have a relentless pace to it. All the elements bleed into each other amazingly!
