Beta Testers...Soarin is ready for testing!

(*Click the image above to see it larger.)

Today on June 26, 2014 Themagical team is happy to announced to the beta testers that Soarin Simulation is now ready for testing!

We've gotten the 'all-clear' from Josh for beta testing as the staff made sure it was beta testing quality.

From this stage, the beta testers will be testing on their devices to make sure Soarin simulation works smoothly as it would be running on a computer.

Also it they will be required to send their feedback on the simulation experience and any bug issues or glitches that they may run into.

Once we receive their feedback and bug reports, we'll run through more additional tests to make sure all bugs are taken care of.  The more people testing, helps us to find more bugs to make a bug free simulation experience on all platforms.

To follow on their experience, they will be using the hashtag #SoarinSim in social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc...  

Finally, we feel once all the testing is concluded and confirm it has met all simulation quality standards we'll release Soarin to the general public.

We are excited for this and we can't wait to release Soarin for all to enjoy real soon!

Until Then,

Twitter Update: New Simulation ??!

Hello Friends!

I've got great news for you!  I guess I got the 'green light' from Martijn (Founder/Webmaster/Simulation Creation) that I can announce on our blog.

=====

  Twitter Update Stats: (Twitter.com/Themagical) 
* As of 03.11.2013 EDT (GMT -5 hours)

- "Busy weeks, but managed to work on a new project, already implemented some basic animations. Release still Q4 (hopefully)"

=====

 ::Confused??::

Now many of you are asking yourself "Wait a second....!? I thought you were already working on another simulation?? What happened to Test Track simulation, wasn't that next on the list?" etc....

Ok, ...Ok.  Let me explain.  Martijn and the team look over the many suggestions you've have asked us in the past and still currently via email, facebook and twitter.

We have placed those into consideration and made an "OFFICIAL" list that we want to do right after the launch of an simulation.  With that in mind, we pick the best simulation that we think the community and people of the internet would enjoy playing (also for hours on end! LOL!)

Let's tackle some questions you've could be asking or about to email us.

Q 1) I thought you were already working on another simulation???

A 1) Yes, we are currently working on one already which is Soarin.

Q 2) What happened to Test Track simulation, wasn't that next on the list?

A 2) Yes it was. But due to the high demand of the 'Steel Force Simulation' progress, we had to focus on all our energy on completing this simulation for our partnership site 'dorneyonline.com' .  From this, we didn't make any progress on development since it was ONLY in "Blue Sky Phase". 

Q 3) What does this "Blue Sky Phase"?? You keep on telling us this for a long time.

A 3) 'Blue Sky Phase' or the word 'Blue Sky' is a term that the Disney Imagineers go through every single time when they start on a new project(s). During this phase, the sky is the limit. There's no such thing as bad ideas, by which these ideas help on how to bring the story to life through the blend of creativity and technical know-how.

Q 4) Have the 'beta testers' got a sneak peak at this new simulation?

A 4) At this time of writing this could change. I haven't gotten word from Martijn to disclosed this to our 'e-lite beta testing group' as of yet. So the best answer is 'no' for the time being.

Q 5) Does this mean that 'Test Track' won't be the next one after Soarin?

A 5) As I mentioned before in a previous post, Test Track will be stand-by mode until Martijn comes back from his vacation this summer to Walt Disney World.  He will be riding the new updated version of the ride to fully experience it and as well feel what direction should the simulation be by version 1.0 or 2.0 .  You can read our posting about the 'stand-by delay' of Test Track here. 

Q 6) I notice Q4 release (hopefully) for new simulation. What does "Q4" means?

Q 6) Q4 represent an industry standard when it comes to business model's projections, special announcements, product releases, etc... 

There's 4 quarters that the business industries follow: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4.  Each quarter represents several months of the whole calendar year as follows:

Q1 (First Quarter):  January, February and March
Q2 (Second Quarter): April, May and June
Q3 (Third Quarter):  July, August and September
Q4 (Fourth Quarter): October, November and December

More information on how these quarters are represented, click here!

::Closing Thoughts::

Still got questions for us?  Email us at: sdt@themagical.nl

I'll answer the best of my ability that I can (with permission of course by Martijn) on your questions you may have.  If I feel your question is much needed to be shared to our community readers, I'll post it up on my next posting.

We feel that there may be some disappointment among you.  Please understand this was based on Martijn on the direction he feels about Test Track at the park, so he can experience the ride for himself.

We'll leak more details, so STAY TUNED!

Until Then,

"Flash Player 10.2 + IE 9 Browser = BEST SIMULATION EXPERIENCE EVER!"

&

As you may or may not know, Adobe® Flash Player 10.2 came out a few days ago. From my previous post, I've mention about the new updates and recommend you should update it immediately.

Not only you'll get a better experience, but you'll be protected from vulnerabilities that may be out there that could leave you a potential to be hacked. The new update 10.2 will protect you from that and as well any security fixes from the previous build 10.1 version.

Recently, IE 9 Release Candidate version has been released to Windows OS users from Vista/Win 7/ Windows Server 2008. (XP users will not be able to download this version unfortunately.)
IE 9 browser is a huge milestone from IE 8/7 versions. IE 9 allows you to use your graphic card to enable new enhancements unlike ever before than using your CPU usage when browsing. This allows the graphic card enabled by IE 9 to bring powerful website experiences and as well a more richer viewing as well.

Performance of IE 9, allows more rendering of text, images, HTML 5, video and so much more so that more can be displayed without sacrificing your CPU usage on your PC.

With Flash Player 10.2 and IE 9, will enhance your browsing on websites and as well a faster rendering of them. This powerful software will bring the internet to you on a huge level unlike ever before.

This will enable you to have 'a more richer simulation experience EVER!' We recommend downloading Flash Player 10.2 and IE 9 to experience our simulations. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!
