@PerGron , c’mere buddy! James created an animal conservatory!

Iron Dragon is CP’s Arrow suspended. It’s very tame, almost comparable to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Kings Island’s Bat is another Arrow suspended. It is substantially more intense, more like Expedition Everest, with some super strong lateral forces. I love ‘em both, because I love this coaster...

Replacing Hersheypark with Cedar Point is a MASSIVE upgrade! Well done. CEDAR POINT GUIDE Cedar Point comes close to perfection for me as a pure coaster park. If you go looking for theming you'll be disappointed, but if you want energetic atmosphere, an interesting setting, lots of...

This remains an absolutely stacked park collection you have planned for yourself! Please allow me to add a little more advice... Loose Articles It's a general rule at coaster parks that you won't be able to ride with loose items. This is very different from Disney parks where you can usually...

Adding to Jokers’ great insight…There are a few kinds of airtime (negative Gs) you might experience on a coaster. A ride over 200’ with lots of hills like Nitro or Apollo’s Chariot (or Mako at SeaWorld Orlando) will offer floater airtime where you slowly rise up out of your seat. That’s closest...

Ah, an admirably ambitious adrenal adventure after my own heart! As likely the biggest resident coaster guy in Imagineering, I salute your bravery to branch out. Of the ones you’ve listed, I’ve been to Kings Island, Cedar Point, Kennywood, Hersheypark, and SF Great Adventure. I’ve enjoyed all...

My favorite part is how they’re maintaining perfect eye contact with us all while they’re at it.

WHAT…are…those…monkeys…doing?! 😱

Looking forward to when we can call you ThemeParkPope.

I was very fortunate to enjoy a front row seat to James’ design process a great many years ago. I recall at the time being deeply impressed by the scope, creativity, and sheer scrumptiousness of the dining he’d created for the Pike. James had combined robustly delicious America foods with some...

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ll do what’s needed to bring the presentation back up to snuff.

Guess where Hulk up and went for the day? (Red eye flight out of LAX.) Iron Gwazi utterly lives up to its hype. I’m not decided where it falls versus Velocicoaster or El Toro, but it’s solidly in my coaster top five.

Ahh, much appreciated! All we're missing now is the occasional bump to @MANEATINGWREATH 's many mega-projects so they aren't lost.

@James G. has been gracious enough to walk us all through his astounding theme park creation Americana 1900. This is perhaps the most original, impassioned, and in-depth solo Imagineering project that our community has seen...which has absolutely nothing to do with Disney...

No amusement park is complete without a carousel! Your great historic care, seen with the vintage Wurlitzer and the reclaimed horses, would make your Looff Memorial Carousel one of the best out there. Would you be including a brass ring? My two favorite operating carousels, at Knoebels and...

GAMMA-INFUSED GUEST REVIEWS TEAM JOHN DEERE ROCK ‘N RIVER COUNTRY & PORT MUSICALE Right up front, I have no firsthand experience with any of the WDW areas featured in this prompt. Anyway…Cop Rock! It took a little figuring out, but eventually you evolved that poison pill into an overarching...

James’ daily updates are my morning newspaper nowadays. I always look forward to reading the next Americana installment with a cup of coffee.

Updates on the last month’s worth of pinball tournaments. There were 65 players in the anniversary bonanza. I placed 5th overall. Then in the regular Wednesday tournaments afterwards, I placed 1st three weeks ago out of 19, then 5th last week out of 16, and then 1st again tonight out of 27. I...

Do you still need us to come out to Japan to make you’re okay? ‘Cause we’re all totally happy to do that! 👍

That sounds amazing! I’d love to see your work.
