Thanks Dan. I'm glad you created it in the same spirit that I intend to use
it. I only came across TTD Alter the other day and down loaded it. Then RCT
came out, and I haven't thought much about TTD since then.

One thing that really excited me was the ability to change the speed limits
on bridges (sad, isn't it). I have often found it frustrating that after a
while there is really no point in building anything other that tubular steel
bridges on railway lines. Sometimes the situation really calls out for a
suspension bridge, but they are just too slow.

Also it seem incredible that a technology advanced enough to build MagLev's
can't suss out how to build a bridge that they can run a full speed over.

You also seem to have found a solution for the helicopter problem. I've
always suspected that the Dart was originally intended to be a helicopter,
but somehow the blades got left off.

Thanks again
