It happens a lot where I get a great idea for a park that I know will cost more than the game allows, but I go for it anyway. This is one of those times:
You might be thinking that this doesn’t look like much of anything… but take a closer look… maybe with some X-Ray specs this time:
Yes, “Crazy Caterpillar” is running through this blob of dirt. I did this by constructing the pre-built design for this particular coaster, deleting pieces of the coaster one at a time, raising the land around the deleted coaster part, and rebuilding the coaster piece underground.
“Crazy Caterpillar” costs about $4,000, but this particular design cost me $20,000 because of all the landscaping.
If I’d had more money, I would’ve completely leveled out the dirt into a nice rectangular prism, changed the dirt into brick to make it look better, and gone on to build more rides in this fashion (Car Ride, Log Flume, etc).

I’ve downloaded several Apps from the Apple Apps store, many of them dissapointingly dull, but some very worth the price (free).
Bubble Wrap
4/10
I was hoping that this would be a fun little app that I could use to relieve some stress, but it turned into a highly competitive struggle for power. Pop all the bubbles in 45 seconds while they reinflate at an impossible rate. This app’s current status on my iPod: deleted.
Scribble
7.5/10
Kind of fun. It’s just drawing on the screen, but it’s a real time-killer if you’re bored. It could use some more colors, but if you’re really that bored it won’t matter much. This app’s current status on my iPod: still on there.
Labyrinth LE
7/10
Super fun the first time around, but once you’ve beat all the levels (10 total), you’ve got nothing else to do, unless you want to spend six bucks to upgrade to the next edition. I still play the levels all the time, but it’s getting easier and easier. This app’s current status on my iPod: hanging on the edge of deletion.
More Cowbell
5/10
Great for solo use. This is just a problem that iPod touch users have; iPhones are fine. You need headphones to hear it on the iPod touch. Still kind of funny… This app’s current status on my iPod: hanging on the edge of deletion.
Remote
9/10
The best app I’ve downloaded. And the price is right too (free). The purpose of this one is that you can open iTunes on your computer and step away from the computer and still control iTunes through your iPod/iPhone. I find it’s great for pulling pranks. Hide in the next room and when somebody walks in, start playing something bizarre like “Purple Haze [Live at Woodstock]“.
Or pick something appropriate to the situation. Examples: If your parents are walking in, play “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah” (Alan Sherman); If you’re currently painting your home, play “Paint It Black” (The Rolling Stones); Or if you accidentally started a fire in your home play “We Didn’t Start the Fire” (Billy Joel). This app’s current status on my iPod: Here to stay.

Koopas are in danger of going extinct. This turtle-type race used to be very abundant in population, but due to massive hunting and senseless killing there are becoming fewer and fewer of this species. Many people are killing Koopas to use as weapons. For instance, several Kart racers use the shells of the red and green and even the rare blue Koopa as weapons and because of this the Koopa population is dwindling. It’s time we stop our senseless killing of Koopas. When you’re walking through the Mushroom Kingdom watch your step. Despite their shells one step can kill these little guys. Save the Koopas!
