Happy Birthday Millionaire Play It Sim!



'Happy Birthday Millionaire Play It Simulation!"

That's right, Millionaire Play It Simulation came to life online on March 24, 2008. This simulation milestone has alot of reasons to boast and have the spotlight for its birthday due to how this simulation came to life!

First, Millionaire Play It Simulation was the first to use the "Fast Pass" queue line. Which made the studio seating a bit faster and it also represents the queue line at the ride attraction at the Walt Disney World Park and Disney's California Adventure Park.

Secondly, Millionaire Play It Sim took a shorter time to develop than previous years since the co-development with Randy Reighard (aka "Reighard"). The combine help made the process faster to create and as well bring more new ideas to the simulations as well. The graphics for the game was also created by Randy Reighard, so placing the graphics for the game went faster than previous since it was only the webmaster Martijn Leseman was the one person who created the 4 simulations on Themagical.

Thirdly, Due to the complexity of the project of the attraction of Millionaire Play It in real life there was more work to do to bring the attraction to life online. Over 2,700 + lines of hand made coding shaped the simulation of Millionaire online. Combing the previous 4 simulations coding, Millionaire Play It over exceeds the coding. This is the major record of code that is ever produced! MPI simulation also over exceeds the coding of Expedition Everest Simulation as well!!

Fourthly, due to the many sounds that goes along for the attraction makes the realism come to life! Over 36 individual of Millionaire designed music was used to bring the sounds of the attraction into the simulation. The most sound effects than all the 5 simulations combined!!

Fifthly, MPI simulation made a huge major milestone for the creator Martijn Leseman. With this new co-development made a renewed passion of creating more simulations. Due to the fact that creating simulations take too much time and with lack of free time due to work schedules, life activities, etc... From this project, has made an impact to Martijn and the community of Themagical fans and visitors which helped ushered into creating new simulations, new flash projects, new online promotion, and new partnership with other websites.

Themagical has came along way from the birth of coming online in December 2000. From the community of Themagical and the visitors that come online daily, it has shown that the joy of playing your favorite attraction online and disney magic.

We celebrate this birthday of the Millionaire Play It to you! It wasn't easy at times during the development and the crashing of the websites at times. But you made it happen to make this site alive since 2000!

We are excited to see what's coming down in the future for Themagical and those who are with the team of Themagical.

Happy Birthday Millionaire Play It and many more!!

Until then,


Reighard

First day of Spring!

Hello everybody,

Today in the US States is officially the first day of spring. In some states I've heard there's snow still or snowing as I write this entry.

So, Happy first day of spring!!

March 20th every year is celebrated of officially the first day of spring in the United States. Many businesses usually have some way of sale promotions due to it. One example is Rita's Italian Ice Company.

Every year for Rita's on March 20th, they give out 1 free icy per customer for the celebration of first day of spring! I know my family and I made a tradition to enjoy and I can say the weather was warm to enjoy the icy!

From all of us at Themagical, happy first day of spring!

Until Next Time,


Reighard

Spring Time ahead!




Hello my fellow blog readers!

As the signs of spring is almost around the corner, daylight rising early in the morning and birds chirping in the early morning.

By now, (*you've may been late to appointment(s)/church/work/etc... if you didn't change your clock ahead) should of moved your clocks ahead "1 hour" due to the daylight savings time.

On March 13/14, 2010 at the stroke of midnight there was a short announcement on almost all media outlets, but even then I heard some confusion, as to which way the clocks must be adjusted, so for those who might still find it difficult to remember the system, learn a simple cheat code Spring Forward – Fall Back.




In April which is around the spring season you adjust your clocks one hour forward, while in October which is the fall season you adjust your clocks one hour backward. Hence Spring Forward & Fall Back Do yourself and your family a favor, take round of your entire house and tweak all the clocks that you see, cell phones and also adjusting computer clocks (some computers automatically changes their settings via clock settings on your PC/Mac/Linux).

Why, when, who, and what is daylight savings time and what's the reason we change our clocks every year and during the year? Click here for more information!

Starting in the spring of 2007, daylight saving time (DST) start and end dates for the United States will transition to comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005. DST dates in the United States will start three weeks earlier, at 2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March. DST will end one week later, at 2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November.

The update that this article describes changes the time zone data to account for the DST change for the United States. This update also includes other DST-related changes, time zone-related changes, and settings-related changes. Some of these changes will occur in 2007. Some of these changes have occurred since the products that are listed in the "Applies To" section were originally released. The update that this article describes is a cumulative update rollup that includes all the changes that were previously released in Microsoft Knowledge Base articles 928388 and 929120. This update also describes some additional changes since the last cumulative update in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 928388.

When you apply this update, you may receive the following message:

"Update cannot be installed as a newer or same time zone update has already been installed on the system."
