Reynold's Park to Open This Weekend

The former Reynold's Packing Plant is set to open its doors for the first time in twelve years this weekend. After closing more then a decade ago, the plant was bought by Kasnak Entertainment Company based out of Indianapolis, IN. Originally slated to be redeveloped as an industrial park, the city stepped in as part of their 'Growing Green Space' initiative and offered to buy the land with plans to turn it into a city park. K.E.C. balked at the sale and the site sat vacant for several years while negotiations over its future took place. Two years ago an agreement was reached for K.E.C. to develop the property as a family entertainment center in exchange for a package of tax breaks from the city. The $40 million dollar redevelopment project took more than 18 months to complete. At opening Reynold's Park, as the property is now called, will feature nine rides, a large food court, and a commitment from K.E.C. to invest another $12 million over the next five years.

"We believe that this development will be a great boost to our city's already diverse lineup of family entertainment options," said City Councilman Paul Grant. "We really are excited about what we have seen so far."

K.E.C. President Kelly Scott agreed. "Though this is the largest project we have taken on to date we feel like we have hit a home run with this one."

We were able to join Mr. Scott on a quick tour this morning, the first day the full compliment of employees reported to work.

The aptly named 'Teacups' features a lot of greenery.

City Gardens is located just to the left as you enter the park. The yellow building on the left houses the parks food court.

'Flying Eagles' is located back towards the pier. A tiny portion of the 'Kid's Complex' can be seen in this photo as well.

Across the path from the Flying Eagles sits the park's Log Flume. This will be great way to cool off in the summer.

At the very back of the park sits Adventure Pier, featuring Rotor, the parks only inverting ride Loop-de-Loop, and Canoe rentals.

Finally here is an overview of the property provided to us by Mr. Scott. We tried to get some details on the future development plans but were told only that "a significant investment" would be made next year.

Hello all! My name is Vince Scott and I am the President of Reynold's Park. The first season is in full swing and we couldn't be happier with the way things have turned out! Only a few months in and we are already a premier family entertainment destination. Flying Eagles just gave out its 100,00th ride! We got big pans to keep the fun coming next year too! I can't give it all away just yet, but I've got a feeling the skyline will look a little different at this time next year. Before I go here are some shots I got the other night while working late. Enjoy!

Now that is a fun looking pier!

Even on a cool night the Log Flume is a great experience.

A little past bedtime for the Kid's Complex to be so busy isn't it?

SkyRider To Change Reynold's Skyline Next Season

 

Reynold's park is pleased to announce that the park's second roller coaster, SkyRider, will open next year! Leading the way in family entertainment once again, Reynold's Park will add a new $6.5 million family suspended coaster. Patrons will board 4-person ride vehicles and travel up a 70 foot elevator lift before releasing them through an exciting array of twists and turns as you glide back down. Manufactured by Caripro, a division of Premier Rides, SkyRider reaches a top speed of 23mph as it glides through more than 1200 feet of track. Upon completion this will be the first ever 'Gyroflyer' roller coaster in the U.S.!

 

Also opening next year will be the brand new Skyline Shops. Skyline Shops will offer an array of merchandise from local vendors as well as official Reynold's Park goods! The brand new Skyline Buffet will anchor this new complex giving park goers a brand new place to get some grub! For one low price the entire family can come on in and eat to their hearts content. We can't wait to open these exciting attractions next spring. Keep checking the website for more details!

Hello again everyone! Season two is in full swing and it has been great to see a lot of people coming back again and again to visit all we have to offer here at Reynold's Park! Our brand new coaster SkyRider has been a huge hit. It is a great thrill the whole family can enjoy together. The Skyline Shops have been a great success as well.

A relaxing ride in one of our canoe rentals is a great way to spend a few hours.

For my money though, the Log Flume is still the best!

Don't forget to take a spin on SkyRider before you go.

Time has really flown by this season! it is amazing how fast everything goes once the season starts. We had a great crowd for our Fourth of July celebration, thank you again to all the families that came out for our great fireworks show. We hope to make this an even bigger event in the years to come! Big news to announce today and we are releasing it here first!Next Spring Reynold's Park will be home to a brand new state of the art concert hall and theater. The Village Theater will have room for more than 900 guests and will offer a host of amenities for both performers and guests alike. A breathtaking balcony overlooking the park will offer a unique view for patrons during intermissions and before and after events. A new cafe will offer drinks and refreshments. The cafe will open onto a beautiful new rose garden that will sit just to the south of the new theater. The Village Theater will be open year round and will open on March 1 with a three week run of the musical 'Oklahoma'. We are so proud to once again be leading the way in family fun here at Reynold's Park.

Its that time of year again. The days are getting shorter and we are preparing for another busy off-season here at Reynold's Park. We have had another great summer and want to thank everyone once again for their continued support. Construction of the new Village Theater is really beginning to take shape! It is going to be one amazing facility when it is all finished! Don't forget to come on out this weekend for one more spin on SkyRider before we close for the season! See you in March!

Here's a tip for using the in-game "non-custom" scenery if you didn't already know -

 

If you name one of your guests M Brookes, you can build the collision-detecting walls on the edges of paths, like in RCT2.

Welcome back once again! Things have been going great so far this year at Reynold's Park. The Village Theater has helped attract a whole new group of people to the park. I am proud to report that, to date, we have had our highest attendance of any year. That is very exciting news as we begin our plans for next year. As was stated in the mailing we sent out a few weeks ago, the popularity of Oklahoma prompted us to extend it to a full season run. Tickets for this great show can be purchased online or at guest relations inside the park. Don't forget to visit the park next week for our July 4th Fireworks Spectacular! The show starts at 9:30pm and will include some great food and music in addition to the fireworks. Can't wait to see everyone there!

It really is crazy how time keeps getting away from me these days! There is just so much to do around our wonderful park. We are once again heading towards the last few weeks of the season. It has been another great summer here at Reynold's Park and we can't wait to end the season with a bang. Our fireworks display was such a success during our July 4th Celebration this year that we have decided to have fireworks every Saturday night! The show will begin at 9:30pm on Adventure Pier. (Between you and me, the best view is from the Log Flume.) Keep an eye out for our announcement about next year's new attraction!

Guests Can Jump A Little Higher Next Year At Reynold's Park

 

Starting next spring guests at Reynold's Park will have a real 'bounce' in their step! Bounce Time the parks brand new trampoline style attraction will add a whole new way to have fun. Guests will be strapped in to a safety harness and then hop on one of four 'bounce pads' and jump to their hearts content. "We were really looking to add another attraction that the whole family could enjoy together," Kasnak Entertainment Company CEO Kelly Scott said. "We certainly have found one here." Bounce Time will be located right next the popular Sky Line Buffet.

Our Fourth Season Is Here!

 

What an opening weekend we had here at Reynold's Park! We were so pleased to see the crowds pouring in again this past weekend! A lot of people hurried down to hop aboard "Bounce Time" our brand new trampoline style attraction. We were pleased to see that our guests were as excited about this new attraction as we are. I thought I would share a few photos from this past weekend. Hope to see you all at the park soon!

Obligatory Log Flume shot. Still the best ride in the park, IMO.

A stroll through the Rose Garden is a great way to spend some time in the park.

Hey gang! Just a quick update today. I will say I had a meeting to day about a very exciting expansion project over the next couple of years. Both families and thrill seekers will have a little something coming their way in the next few years. Keep your eyes peeled for new details!

Two New Rides Coming To Reynold's Park Next Season!

 

We are proud to announce that next Spring Reynold's Park will be adding two new rides for our guests! This is the first time we have tackled two projects like this...but it won't be the last. As we begin our three year expansion project we are excited to bring our guests two awesome new experiences next year.

 

Space Shot: Have you ever wondered what it is like to blast off in a space ship? Well now you can feel (almost) the same rush at Reynold's Park! Space Shot is a brand new launched tower ride that will send guests hurtling up more than ten stories above the park at 44 mph! Once riders reach the top they will experience a brief moment of weightlessness before plummeting back down again. Manufactured by S&S Power Space Shot will be the tallest ride ever to grace our sky line. Riders will need to be at least 48" tall to enjoy this amazing new thrill ride.

 

Slide Ride: Launching skyward at at 44 mph not your thing? No worries! We've got a brand new experience for those not quite ready for Space Shot. Slide Ride is a great way for the kiddies to feel a rush that is just the right size for them. Standing right next to the Kid's Complex, Slide Ride will be our tallest kiddie ride in the park and our fourth ride just for the little ones.

 

We can't wait to see you all next year as we kick off our biggest expansion yet!

Work has begun on getting things all ready for next year. The path behind the Kid's Complex has been closed off and prep work at the Slide Ride location has already begun. Don't forget to get one last ride in on the canoes! They will be closing at the end of September as we begin work on Space Shot for next year. We have had another great summer here at Reynold's Park, let end this year with a bang!

We are wrapping up another great season here at Reynold's Park! The canoes have been removed and foundation work is underway for both Space Shot and Slide Ride. We are really looking forward to these two new attractions next year! Don't forget to get your tickets for all the great shows that will be playing at the Village Theater throughout the off season. See you next year!
