Hello
You may remember me, or if not Hi there. Some of you I have known through various forums and Discord for, a long time. For the rest of you, I am not as bad as they say I am. I do something completely different to earn a living, but I grew up fascinated with parks, carnivals, fairs and the like, I always liked how things looked at night the best and thus, you will note I tend to put a lot of thought into lighting and you will see a lot of nighttime screen shots from me. My style was more around amusement parks and that is what Fox Amusements initially was, but its been shifting to more themed and higher quality in the parks for a while now, going back to RCT3. I am sure I will bore people with that at some point if I get into the history of Fox Amusements and why they are, how they are. I had been poking around here for a while, thought since I recognize several names why not just get on board!

What is your funniest theme park memory?
When I was pretty young, I was with my brother at Adventureland in Iowa I think it was the year they opened The Tornado which at the time was the biggest wooden coaster in Iowa, may still be. We were in line to ride it and behind us weas a group of older guys, I think there were three or four in their group. One of they guys named Leon was scared to ride The Tornado we could hear his friends saying "come on Leon you got to ride this thing!" and more conversation like that the entire time in line. Leon on the other hand kept saying wasn't going to ride, I think he was hoping there was a chicken exit at the top of the ramp, he kept saying "No way man I ain't getting on that thing!" Once we got to the top of the ramp and were next to get on a train these guys were right behind us, My brother and I were in one of the first two seats, the group of friends behind us and Leon, did not make his exit. All the way up the lift hill he was scared out of his mind. After the firs drop though he started to have the time of his life. "Everybody put your hands up!" he yelled at the top of the second hill, "Put em up again" at the top of the third hill. This wend on until the ride was over. As we ere exiting we could hear Leon saying, "Come on guys we gotta ride this again!" Something we have never forgotten to this day, we are both much older now but if we are at Adventureland together and getting on the Tornado one of us will quote Leon.

Highland Lakes
Haunted Highlands returns. I Some are familiar with this project, its been on going for years now and I have been out of it for a bit to work on some PC2 stuff but jumped in again to transform the park for Halloween again. There is a whole history to this park that, maybe I will get into later.
