Phew! Project has been done for a while but Windows's new Clipchamp shit sucks! I had to wait til I had the patience to see if it would or wouldn't save my shit properly, grrr!

Happier note, here's a ride I've been working on since the summer, what is it you may ask? Ember Gem Raiders is a new generation Mack water coaster that puts you front and center of the action in an adventure movie shootout scene, right behind the sticks of your trusty seaplane. Brave the perilous ruins of the Lost City of Tem'Poa on a dangerous quest to recover the legendary Pele's Hair before it falls into the hands of the Japanese Empire and costs the Allies their shot at winning World War II. With a new generation ride system inspired by SeaWorld San Diego's Catapult Falls, Ember Gem Raiders is capable of both lifting boats with a traditional chain lift as well as gradually rolling them up to speed, in addition to newer elements and slightly tighter track geometry.

Adventure theming was a huge touchstone in my 2023 season, both from getting Adventure Port on my own territory as well as traveling for attractions such as Lost Island and Zambezi Zinger. I was so impressed with the amount of love that Kings Island put into Adventure Express after years of needing it and I wanted to do the same, creating a cool family coaster that simulates an experience and tells a story to a tee.

I can't wait to share it with you all!
