Custom built dark rides are fun in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. You can take a virtual 3D ride on the ride. And you can build your own custom 3D monsters for the ride using a 3D modeling program and a program to convert the files into RCT3 files. Someone already made some on the main RCT3 site in the custom scenery downloads area. You can build anything, from haunted castles to haunted hotels, to whatever you can think up. I love the rotating tunnel in RCT3 on the tracked dark rides. You can build as many as you want, and make them as long as you want, and any color, you can have two different colors on the tunnel, and it looks like a spiral spinning around you. The dark ride is just the track and the cars, you can custom build the track layout and have multiple levels, and you custom build the building yourself using wall and roof pieces and other scenery items.

Hi everyone. I have been busy. Valentines day is coming up and the boss wants me to work overtime. My boyfriend got a job framing houses and he wants to take me out for dinner on tuesday night. I wonder if he will use his last unemployment check to buy dinner for us or will I have to end up paying again? Im sure he will use the money to buy himself a big bag of weed. He always thinks about himself first. I cant stand him! I might just have to work overtime tuesday night.

I feel like I'm watching a soap opera here. Are we talking about amusement parks or just plain amusements?!?

Well Karen, at least you have our attention, lol. Sorry to hear about your boyfriend, but even more sorry to know you won't change the situation. At least it's entertaining...

Well, one more month before Pavilion Amusement Park in Myrtle Beach closes forever after 50 years. The link at the beginning of this thread is the Haunted Hotel dark ride at that park which was built in 1978. Who knows what will happen to the ride after the park closes. I wish another park would buy it so that another generation can enjoy it. I hate seeing dark rides go to the trash. If I had a million dollars I'd buy it myself. They want to redevelop the park site into condos, shops, and passive attractions like aquariums or whatever to lure people year-round. Yeah, they just want another upscale place for the yuppie condo people to go to. Screw the middle class. Bye, bye cotton candy, french fries and dark ride. At least they have a couple of haunted walkthroughs on the strip by the doomed park down there and another park with a classic coaster.

First of all, robert, where do you get all this information? Is it in the newspaper? Do you subscribe to a magazine for amusements? I'm not making fun; I just want to know. Will people ever learn? Developers or businesses know what brings the money in. If something isn't bringing in "big bucks" do you think they're going to keep it? No, they're going to take a deal where they'll make money. This whole world sometimes seems to revolve around money. It's the little guy that always suffers.

At least they have a couple of haunted walkthroughs on the strip by the doomed park down there and another park with a classic coaster. I went to Myrtle Beach in 2003. It reminded me of Wildwood back in its glory days of the late 70s and early 80s with at least 2 quality walkthrough haunts and the Haunted Hotel dark ride at Pavillion Amusement Park. Myrtle Beach also had a couple other Sally Corporation built, modern laser gun shooting dark rides which weren't bad. I am saddened but not surprised to hear about the park closing. First, that has been the trend now more and more in amusement areas like Wildwood, Niagara Falls, Atlantic City etc.. to remove amusements for "upscale" housing or restaurants. Secondly I had heard in 2003 while I was there that Myrtle Beach wants to get rid of the "honky tonk" in it and become a more upscale, year round town. That is sad. I hate greed. Now I and future generations will not be able to enjoy the fun of Pavillion Amusement Park. They called Myrtle Beach the "Redneck Riviera" for its fun, affordable, family entertainment, but now just like every other amusement town that isn't good enough anymore, everything has to bring in alot of money and be upscale or it must be destroyed. I even heard Coney Island is going to attempt to do this. Very sad. |

I lived in South Carolina for awhile and to be honest, their beaches were "boring". NO ONE has boardwalks, entertainment, and beaches like Wildwood, Ocean City, Marylnd, and others; in the north. There's nothing like walking the boardwalk with all the sounds and excitement. It just isn't the same when you just go to a regular beach and that's all that's there, the beach. I really miss going to Wildwood and Ocean City, Maryland. Even going to the beach here, doesn't thrill me. It's just not the same. That's one thing you never forget; when you were young; going to the beach, walking the boardwalk, and all the fun on the rides. Did all the generations change all of a sudden? I'll tell you how some have changed; I used to work at Red Lobster, and parents would bring their kids ON THE 4TH OF JULY, MEMORIAL DAY, and other holidays to eat seafood. What ever happened to the cookout? Maybe people don't do' as much as a family anymore, I don't know. We live in such a fast world.

This is just really creepy. I mean did everyone just disappear, like one of those horror movies?? Someone told me a girl fell out of the zipper ride at Hershey and got hurt. The only thing that probably helped her was that she hit one of the other cages. Did anyone hear about that?

Has anybody anything exciting to contribute to this board or did everyone just take a trip somewhere?
