Sure your definitely welcome to come! This has been rescheduled to Tuesday at 10pm PST, 2 hours before the weekly maintenance starts when it will be removed.

Young people who are too young to know the glory and popularity of Tetris.

I never understood that. It’s the same criticism i hear about Home. It seems like unless you kill something it isn’t a game to the masses. Why does something need to be blown up or destroyed in order to be entertaining?

Red bull has one of the loveliest spaces. It will be a loss to Home. I enjoy trying to fly my homemade gliders there and trying to make all the rings in the air races (trying) lol. Sorry to see it go.

Great article Terra! Yes, it will be sad to see this space go. We have seen the removal of several spaces and we all have had our fair share of memories at each of them and the Red Bull Beach is no exception. I remember the HSM 6 month anniversary party we had there. The space was packed! The space has great areas for avatar photo shoots and fun glitches too such as the one to get into the water. It will definitely be missed by all.

There will be a farewell party this Saturday at 9pm EST hosted by Julie_Love, Y2David, and StephieRawks for any of you that are interested in coming out and saying goodbye together.

Again, great article Terra. As always, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I thought Microsoft’s Flight Simulator series was the Gran Turismo of flight? Unfortunately, people would rather have air combat over flight simulators, and the series ended for good just a few years ago. That’s if memory serves.

Good idea. I read somewhere that the Journey space will be going on April 11th. It’s barely been a month, so I hope everyone got their cloth companion and that massive statue from it already.

Also, the PSVita Lounge seems to be gone from my favourites. Yet another short-lived space.

I never really cared for the Red Bull space, probably because I completely sucked at the air races. I was barely able to get the trophy for the first course, and the second just seemed impossible. So, no great loss for me, but I sympathize with those for whom it held a special meaning.

One last thought before I totally plug up this page with ‘me’. I would like to see more sites that are going to close, make some sort of announcement regarding their leaving. At least here and now prior to closing, Red Bull fans can buy up anything and everything they like, take pictures, do movies or try what ever they can to make memories there. Just a thought.

Bravo Terra_Cide, I love that idea! Good thought, I do believe though that gamepaly would be real hard seeing the detail that PD puts towards concepts like camber, weight distribution, spring rates, gear ratios, etc. etc. I am a level 40 in Gran Turismo, and that was a task, can’t imagine doing that in the air.

I was never a big fan of Red Bull’s beach but I do feel bad for all those who loved the place and have fond memories. I was a lover of the Irem Square and when that left, I was saddened that I wouldn’t have my favorite hangout anymore. I truly do miss that place. I think it is very interseting that though these places are virtual, we can indeed get so attached, and even mourn their closing. Sorry to those who liked this place, hope you find a new place again soon

What I've always wanted to see in a disk-based game is a flight simulator on par with what Polyphony delivers to driving simulators in the Gran Turismo series.

What home really needs is a true flight simulator in which you can build your own planes, wacky races style and go head to head with a friend to get the best time around a circuit.

That would be tons of fun!

Good bye Red Bull, You will be missed by many. You hit it on the head, Most of us back when Home opened played the air race. I can remember flying for countless hours, trying to beat times of my then limited friends list. I still pop in there at times to take the wings to flight, for old times sake.
When red Bull beach came out, it was the only true tropical space. I can remember before I was a HCV. Two years ago, They hosted a Mardi gras flash mob, the beach space was frequented many times. As well as having a lil dance party afterwords there. Gosh I met so many new people then.
At least the rewards and the House of skate, are going to stay, to keep the memories alive.

Good bye Red Bull
