Planet Coaster 2: General Discussion
I have seen a really good force vector design tool mod for PC2 also, I just cannot remember the name. It makes building coasters to the required forces at any given point, MUCH easier, this is what NL2 uses. It is great at building perfectly smooth coasters too, because you are literally...- DistortAMG

[2026] Bluey Coaster in CBeebies Land
Around these parts, the word bluey has always been slang for a five pound note, given it's colour. So every time I read this topic title, it reads in my head as "five pound coaster in CBeebies Land".- DistortAMG

Redevelopment of Katanga Canyon
Totally agree, the Rideas days....wow that is going back, the logo with the coloured circles is still engrained into my memory! Given we know Alton / Tussauds / Merlin have planned something at least once in the now quite distance past and the fact it is the oldest area in the park now (I...- DistortAMG

Redevelopment of Katanga Canyon
In one way, it is sort of a shame if this area was re developed, yes the hardware is aging, yes there are better things out there, but I think in one way, age has been kind to KC, it has allowed it, in some ways, to fulfil it's potential as an African village / Jungle. Last August, the place...- DistortAMG

2026: General Discussion
Some of the salaries appear to be pretty poor too, specifically for the leadership roles. Considering the location, you must really want to work at Alton Towers or, really make heavy use of a family or multiple Merlin passes of some description, to find some of those pay packages attractive.- DistortAMG

The Generative AI Thread
The biggest thing the completely flawed online safety act has done, is funnel large amounts of cash into VPN companies with questionable ethics and moral standpoints. The number being funnelled into these companies will rise too over time. It is crazy to think, the biggest achievement of the...- DistortAMG

The Morality and Politics Surrounding Visiting Specific Theme Parks
If you cannot understand the difference between identifying as something versus using an animal as an example of conveying a way of thinking, two massively different things, then don't worry, Ive already left, I left the door open for you on the way out.- DistortAMG

The Morality and Politics Surrounding Visiting Specific Theme Parks
I will comment properly later on both yours and @Plastic Persons replies. Long night shift last night, time for rest. 🙂 Before I go, yes, I will not let any political regime get in the way of me enjoying things, enjoying life itself. Why should I? Why should anyone infact? In exactly the same...- DistortAMG

The Morality and Politics Surrounding Visiting Specific Theme Parks
As a 'developed' nation, the perogative being put forward here is quite stunning really, given our history, specifically, recent history. It is convenient to forget that I guess? I do not agree with the regime of Saudi Arabia, or what it stands for. But, the general consensus seems like we are...- DistortAMG

Chessington World of Adventures Resort
We run trains, planes, cars and everything in between in what could be considered far worse hazardous conditions, granted, the reasons are more out of nessesity than for leisure, but the fact remains we (as humans) regularly run, much more hazardous machines in far more hazardous conditions...- DistortAMG

Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2025 Discussion
I cannot see the fact they are opening at 11am being a problem. Removing the free entry completely killed off any impulse entry passing trade, most if not all people visiting now pre book, meaning if they are going to visit, they are going to visit, regardless of the park opening an hour later...- DistortAMG

Oh yeah, that's quite a substantial upgrade in the performance department on both the GPU and CPU, you should see a big difference in almost everything you do on the system. For video editing and gaming alike. The 50 series including the 5070, is the first generation from Nvidia to support...- DistortAMG

[2026] Bluey Coaster in CBeebies Land
Plenty of space all over the park. They can re route paths and remove buildings to create space. They do not need to work within the confinements they have created themselves with years worth of infrastructure. They can just rip it up and start again for better or for worse, Rita is a good...- DistortAMG

Planet Coaster 2: General Discussion
Thats a very solid system. I was running the 5700x with a 3070 and it was solid. It is about as fast as you can go on the AM4 platform. You can go faster with the 3d cache chips, but the price to performance is way off compared to a 5700x. If gaming is your thing, Xbox Series and PS5 are built...- DistortAMG

What year has Alton been at its best
Not at all no, Alton Towers in the 1990's had risen to be a worldwide renown icon of rollercoaster innovation. It was arguably at the top of it's niche game that it was playing. That year, 2002, we got air, further fuelling this momentum within the general public and enthusiast perception alike...- DistortAMG

It is not GPU's pushing prices, it is DRAM. RAM has tripled in value in the past 2 or 3 weeks. As AI data centres gobble up HUGE quantities of the stuff, alongside a whole third of the consumer markets supply being indefinitely cut off, as Micron, one of the worlds largest consumer suppliers...- DistortAMG

My computer died around the summer, I have not replaced it. I did however, for many reasons, the now delayed GTA VI being one of them, go and purchase a PS5 Pro not long ago. I have not yet purchased PC2 for it, but there is a 2 hour demo on PS Plus which have given that a whirl, it was nice to...- DistortAMG
