I'm so happy you love the train, I named her In honor of my my Grandma who passed away recently. She was a beautiful lady who raised me when I was young. She had an adventurous spirit and was a great influence and inspiration for me. I think it's a fitting tribute.

Thanks Sam, for all your in-depth answers and for the renders of the connie express just amazing!
Your work and your time is very much appreciated and it's been great getting an insight into the life of a Lead Artist from a game development team but also getting to know you on other levels!

Take care.

To Sam about the confusing "blocks" post earlier about coaster blocks:

Basically I think he is talking about "breaking blocks" or "block-breaks"... essentially the system in which you separate each section of a track as a "block" using various pieces like the chain/lift, and more prominently the breaks like MCBRs. (mid course break runs) It's a safety system to make sure only one train is on a section (or block) at a time to avoid possible collisions.

the first coaster sim game to make it big didn't have this, but parts 2 and 3 did ;) ... as coasters have had this for quite a while, but REEAAALLLYY got refined with it in the 90's and onward... I mean look at today's coasters and their blocking systems .... it would boggle many a coaster fan's mind to go into all the technical stuff behind coaster safety in this one regard I bet. Though it all boils down to using breaks and other special track sections to keep one train out of another section currently in use.

BTW, this really could get funny with break downs in the game... and could even be horrifying... lol... just imagine the possibilities here.


Awe... dang, I missed out on the q and a this time. Oh well.... more later.

Can we ask questions?
Because I want to ask if he can show his T-shirt. I looks so cool! Is it a Mickey Mouse T-shirt?
