Ride Sims 2.0 Media Event Review !

Hello Friends!

It gives me great pleasure to bring this special "Themagical's Behind the Scenes" look at "Ride Sims 2.0" Media Event Preview!

We were invited for a 'Media Preview' of the upcoming 2019 launch of RideSims.com and let me tell you....you'll LOVE IT!

There's lots of great details, stunning, easy to navigate, and a pleasurable online experience! It's a familiar feel of the former website but with a refresh on new twists to the simulations.

:: Website UI - Familiar but 'Revamped' ::

RideSims.com has been recreated from the ground up. Completely redesign of the former website with a completely revamped design for 2019! Stunning is the word to describe the webdesign.

Colorful buttons, Sim Of The Day, and Challenge Of The Week.

Colorful Theming - The entire website features a colorful webdesign that's pleasing but yet stunning to the eye! 

Sim Of The Day - Features a simulation to play if you haven't gotten to play the others while playing your favorite 'go-to' simulation.  

Challenge Of The Week - Features an in-game simulation challenge to unlock within! E.g. 3 of continuous inversions on Ripsaw as featured on the image above.

:: Detailed, Challenging, Addicting Simulations ::

The new site builds upon the popular feature of CHALLENGES! This time you can earn challenge awards, not just on your score but each sim has its very own unique challenges. E.g. Number of fully loaded trains dispatched on Baron 1898.

We know that the highest scoring users played for a long time making it difficult for some users to get onto the leader boards. So now we have a new challenge. Throughput per hour! This is an average hourly rate calculated on the number of peeps you handle.

Forums Permanently Closed!

**IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS/READERS**

Due to recent events last night on Themagical website, a certain member on the website community that was causing the personal attacks against me.

Now, we aren't discussing any details of the situation due to the sensitivity of the matter.

This has lead us to closed the forums PERMANENTLY! This affects all users, moderators and as well Staff at Themagical.nl and its effective IMMEDIATELY!

Here's a personal notice from the founder/webmaster Martijn Leseman of Themagical.nl

Important message - Sunday, July 10th 2011
I bringing down the forum, and probably will not make it active anymore. Even the most simple rules and normal internet behavior is being neglected like people who are adults, or not, are not able to act like normal people, respecting each others dignity. I am disappointed, really... Martijn Webmaster Themagical.nl

Important message - Sunday July 10, 2011 (updated July 11, 2011)
The forum section at Themagical.nl has been closed. I do not have enough time to keep up with things happening over there, and it does not serve the goal en purpose it used to have in the past.
We clearly announced the rules and some people think they simply can violate them, that happened several times.
The website will continue to provide a platform for simulation fans, which will be a login, scoreboard, highscores and of course the sims.

BR,

Martijn

Webmaster/Owner Themagical.nl

Steel Force Simulation Twitter Update Stats: (Twitter.com/Themagical)
* 4 days ago of 03.01.2011 EST (GMT -5 hours)

- Did some artwork changes for the #sfsim this evening, especially at the track. Also modified the transfer track code. (Mar. 1st, 2011)

- am not a programmer, but need it as a tool to let the magic "work". But some extra math lessons would be welcome :) (Feb. 28th, 2011)

- Sometimes there are moments you just get lost in your own digitally creative world/development, difficult to pick up the right trial. (Feb. 28th, 2011)

- When developing a sim, I have to prevent too much new techniques, the switch to AS3.0 was a big step to take. (Feb. 28th, 2011)

- Worked at the sf-sim this evening, tuning the visitor system, still not working as it should be. (Feb. 28th, 2011)

The webmaster/founder of Themagical.nl posted some interesting tweets recently and I thought I would keep you posted on the current status of the '#SteelForceSimulation, #SF Sim, #sfsim' updates. (**If you on twitter, be sure to follow us at: @themagical and @randydorney.)

Reflections of 2010

Hey Everybody,

As you already know that the "New Years" is just right around the corner and many of you are thinking of your resolutions or maybe not.

It's been awhile as you heard from me, and I thank you all for stopping by during your holiday festivities (or other practice that you follow) to read up what's happening with us here at 'Themagical.nl' .

Steel Force Simulations Update: Progress continues 12.26.10

Recently via Twitter @themagical, there's still progress of the simulation but its been hard since under the weather of being sick and lack of free time due to work, family activities, and holiday celebrations.

We really appreciate your great patience with the team at Themagical and we are hoping to bring out the beta-ready preview.

Yes, its been a long time since you've heard anything from us. We understand how you feel as well too want you too to enjoy the hard work we've put into the game so far to this point.

It's great to hear the feedback of being testers and to see how the progress that you've seen back in November of this year.

Hang in there folks! We'll announce it when its "beta-quality" according to Themagical Team & Dorneyonline.com standards for public testing.

If you still want to be part of our beta-testing, we are still accepting people who haven't joined in the elite group of testers. Send an email: sdt@themagical.nl You'll get a special email from me to do what's next to fill the requirement to be a beta tester for the 'Steel Force Simulation'.

--- Reflections: Recap 2010 ---

It's been a interesting year for Themagical and we are going to go closely on this year's milestones.

SF Sim with Dorneyonline.com Beta Testing: "We been getting a great response from our visitors to our site and as well our readers from the blog that you are eager to be part of the beta testing!" Progress is still on going but slowly due to circumstances of our daily lives with makes our free time hard to get to developing."

SF Sim: Actionscript 3.0 First Milestone Upgrade Performance: "The performance on the new Action Scripting version 3.0 has been tremendous with the so far progress of the Steel Force Simulation that it will be the foundation of the upcoming simulations and possible newer content."

New Friends: Cosmicreid.com Radio Show and Website, Dorneyonline.com and Newsplusnotes.com: "With a new addition to the TM Network, we are happy to connect with a new pals of ours and looking forward to be doing fun things with them."

New Blog Update UI: "Our blog got a new UI (user interface) to keep it fresh and more stable on many browser platforms and as well mobile users. We feel a nice update and bugs in the coding makes it more easy to use and as well viewable for the mobile platform devices."

Wii Compatible Simulations: "Tested and Capable for the Wii Gaming System, our simulations from Themagical can be played just like you would play on your PC. Without being near your computer, you can have your gaming platform device to use the Wii Internet (Powered by Opera Browser) to play your favorite simulation."

Themagical's 10th Birthday: "Celebrating 10 years online since 2000! A great accomplishment and milestone for Themagical being online for all those years. We thank you "our community" for helping us out with your feedback and support. Just because the 10th birthday has soon to be passing at the end of the year, doesn't mean we have something up our 'magical selves'. ;) "

Themagical Presents: Reighard Live Show (Beta): "From March 26, 2010 to July 22, 2010 short lived Live Show was one way we wanted to have a fun way to interact with our visitors on our website community and as well have special guests on our show into the mix. I myself had a great time on the show and how many people would actually came to see and view our site during that time. Sadly, it didn't do as well as we thought and yet needed to be taken down due to low viewers, low ratings, and lack of audience interaction. We enjoyed the times on the show and hoping to find new ways and paths to bring newer content for our community to enjoy. Of course you can still use our Skype line to chat with us via Skype. Search "randydorney or reighard1" via Skype and we'll love to chat up with ya! :) Special Thanks: Tyson Brooks.org & Networks. He has helped us since the very beginning and started a new friendship with them and as well got us some connection to get us on our feet. We thanked him so much for the opportunity for myself to talk to awesome fellas and talk shows via Ustream.tv and Justin.tv website."

Tweet Meet: Would you be interested? "As this been a thing the Themagical have been thinking of doing for quite sometime and we are wondering what would our community thought about it. Now even though the term 'tweet meet' was for referring to our 'twitter followers' via @Themagical (Tijn's Twitter Feed) and @Randydorney (Reighard's Twitter Feed), it doesn't exclude our community from Themagical's website either. We really want to hear your thoughts and feedback to see if this would come to a reality if we get a good serious feedback. Our polls has been active and its looks pretty solid numbers as taken by 12.30.10 by writing this blog post. If it comes to a new poll numbers, we'll keep you posted on something in the works to have an event. If not, well it sounded like a cool idea to us. Let us know, we are wondering what you think as well. Comment on the forums, email us, and send DM's via Twitter. We loved to hear from you! :) "
