^ I am not 100% sure :> , but I think the creation of the website as such (so not all of the contents) is entirely Marinersfan59's work. I which case all compliments for the website go to Marinersfan :D

Why are some members permitted to download the park that Ultra's SLC was in and others aren't?

I believe that the link is no longer valid. Probably needs to be updated.

Well done! The compact inverted was never one of my favorites as I never had any success building even a half decent one . . . until I made a study of your step by step instructions. Only criticism I would make with your design is the intensity and 'hurl' levels - they are a bit high. Usually I find that limiting the velocity of a train as it transitions from one intense section of track to the next can bring up the excitement and lower the 'hurl' factor. While some of the thrill seekers may see this as a cop out, I get more riders and re-riders overall from the peeps who may not have the iron stomach needed to truly enjoy the high intensity rides. (Re-riders are the ones who pay the bills and justify the investment!)

Several comments addressed scenery and while most were sensible, there are some situations where scenery, while desireable, must take a back seat. Case in point: some scenarios are rather quick and demanding, giving you three or even two years to accomplish the goals. If you spend too much time and money adding / building scenery, you may not accomplish the goals. It is much easier with a scenario that is based on building 10 coasters or attracting a given number of guests or bringing in $**** in ticket sales. In those scenarios you have the time to enhance a custom built coaster.

Usually, I 'plop' down one or two ready-built coasters that already have some detailed scenery to start out and get the cash flow moving.

Thanks again for a very well written set of instructions.
