Yes, I got your email and they are the right size and

everything!! THANKS!!! But now I just need to find a

way to put them on the car besides scotch tape.....any suggestions?

[CostaKid]

Glue? No, that would be permanent. I dont think you

would want ya to do that. You can buy 20 sheets of stickerpaper for like 10 dollars.

Thats what i used and it comes off pretty easily.

[coasterfreak11]

Well I decided to use a glue stick and it is working

very well!! I already have the front car finished and it looks

great!! Now I just need to print off more!!! It should be

finished soon!

[CostaKid]

Wow!!! How are you gonna get it off?

I am glad its workin for ya. Please get pics when your done.

[coasterfreak11]

Well I have had it finsished for about 1 hr and it still

looks good Also, I will

post pics as soon as I can....but 1st I have to use up the film...which should be used up

after I take pics of my Wild Mouse coaster...which is not finished yet.....and Haunted

Oasis I still have

to put webs on the turn around and the station area...and I am stilll waiting to get a fog

machine

[CostaKid]

There is one fog machine onsale at Party City for

9.95!!! It looks decent too. No rush on the pics, just do a good job.

[coasterfreak11]

Well today I went shopping and I got the fog

machine~!!!!! And I also got a flashing lite that I am going

to put in the turnaround area!!! I have tested the fog machine outside

and it works well...now I just need to move it up to my room

Sorry for

the double post....but I moved my fog machine up to my room.....but I did not test it

because my parents were sleeping.....I also printed out for decalbs for my coaster and

now both trains the red and the blue each have decalbs on it...but only the blue train

works now because the red one has cotton thread stuff from the webs in the

wheels..haha..but oh well!! As long as one works! I should have pics

within 2 weeks..... maybe....

[live4bb21]

you really are serious about making this a truly well

themed ride.

[awclark]

I have a great idea for your Haunted Oasis!



Though I

do not know if you allready have it! A strobe light!

I found one

myself lastnight in my room and thought it would look good for mine but maybe for

yours too

[coasterfreak11]

Well, that would look good....but I do not know

whereI would put it and I also hardly have any plug-ins left!! I have a

surge protector thingy under the station area...so I click on switch and everything turns

on.....the 2 coaster motors....the rope lite...the superman lite...the fog machine...the

rope lites on my shelf, my cd player....and I think that is it! hahah! It uses a

lot...and I dont really feel like burning my house down But that is a good

idea....but I think the darker the room is the better....and also my mom probably does

not want to buy any more of this stuff for my coaster!

[awclark]

But also another idea to use a strobe light on an

coaster is for the effect if you want to pretend there is a on ride photo

section.!! haha, it kind of seems

stupid for the stobe to be flashing all the time for a picture, but it would be

funny!

"Mom there is no picture of us on the coaster!

There isn't even the train!"

[CostaKid]

Yeah, a fake onride photo thing and booth would be

awsome! Another thing that would be cool is to run the trains backward, like

Collosus @SFMM does during Fright Fest. The only thing you would have to do is put

tape under the car to hold the chain dog down.

[coasterfreak11]

Yes, I hazve thought about that but I have no idea

how to do it!! Could I jus put a toothpick under the back car...which would

be the front car when you turn it around?

[CostaKid]

Well, a tooth pick would work. But if you could get the

last car (front car of forward train) on to the chain, you could just tape the chain dog

down.

[coasterfreak11]

Yes I know that ...but the last car .....which is

technically the front car does not reach the chain lift....so shoud I just use a toothpick

then?

[CostaKid]

Yeah that seems like the best option, unless you put a

few 45 degree connectors on the chain.

[coasterfreak11]

Well, as of now I am not going to have the train

backwards...but I may....who knows...I still have to finish the theming and get pics

and get them developed because I would like to have pics by Oct. 1st!

[Ace o Spades]

Can you please post some pics of Oasis? I

haven't seen it yet.

[coasterfreak11]

Yup..here is an overall view of it before it started to

get theming!!

[Ace o Spades]

Holy bad word that is good.
