[RCT2] Maple Lake Amusement Park

Here is my second park I posted here called Maple Lake Amusement Park. The park dates back to the early 1920s. There were some rides and coasters that used to be here but demolished because of lack of popularity and accidents. Here's the current coaster lineup:

Overview of Maple Lake Amusement Park

SCR2.BMP

The oldest coaster in the park is American Patriot. It's a John Allen-designed out and back wooden coaster which opened in 1974.

SCR3.BMP

Plenty of airtime on these hills!

SCR4.BMP

All of A.P.'s layout. It has decreased in popularity because of bigger coasters in the park.

SCR5.BMP

Next is the second oldest coaster, Vampyre. It's a custom Arrow 4-Looper coaster that opened in 1980. However, it's NOT the original looping coaster in the park. The now-defunct Python, a Schwarzkopf shuttle loop which originally opened in 1977. It closed in 1997 after maintenance became too expensive, making Vampyre the oldest looping coaster.

SCR6.BMP

Exiting the second Vertical Loop and about to both take a picture and go through Skull Tunnel,

SCR7.BMP

Going through the corkscrews. This coaster also decreased in popularity and has gotten rougher with age. Only die-hard fans ride Vampyre these days.

SCR8.BMP

Next is the Mack-built Winter Bobs which opened in 1987. This for a while was a popular coaster, but has also lowered in popularity in recent years.

SCR9.BMP

Going through one of the many helices.

SCR10.BMP

Next is Kamikaze, an Arrow hyper coaster that opened in 1990. This one still has a lot of fans riding it to this day. Topping at 200 feet even, it was the tallest coaster in Maple Lake, until Bronco, but we'll get to that later.

SCR11.BMP

Going through the butterfly turnaround and taking a picture in the process.

SCR12.BMP

Going over one of the many hills on this tall coaster.

SCR13.BMP

Finishing the ride and back to the station. Kamikaze goes nearly through the middle of the entire park and along Maple Lake itself.

SCR14.BMP

Giving the park its first kiddie coaster is, well, Kid's Coaster, a Zierer Tivioli coaster which came to the Kidway Midway area of the park in 1993.

SCR15.BMP

In 1995, Maple Lake got its second wooden coaster in Sasquatch. Built by Custom Coasters International, Sasquatch is like an out and back mixed with a twister.

SCR16.BMP

Airtime found on this as well.

SCR18.BMP

In the helix. Sasquatch has decreased in popularity, too, but not to the extent of American Patriot.

SCR17.BMP

The swooping S-Curve.

SCR19.BMP

In 1998, Maple Lake went inverted with Blood Falcon, a B&M Inverted Coaster with 4 inversions.

SCR20.BMP

The first inversion; this giant vertical loop.

SCR21.BMP

More of Blood Falcon's layout. The other three inversions is a barrel roll, another smaller vertical loop, and a flat spin (corkscrew). Falcon sits on the plot where the afore-mentioned Python once sat, explaining its narrow footprint.

SCR22.BMP

A year after Blood Falcon opened, Maple Lake added a coaster for those too small to ride it. Originally named Lil' Blood Falcon (after its larger namesake) Marty's Flight is a Vekoma Family Suspended Coaster aimed at younger riders and those who aren't quite ready for the more intense Blood Falcon. It was renamed to Marty's Flight (after one of the mascots Marty the Tiger) to avoid any confusion between the two coasters. Also located in Kidway Midway.

SCR23.BMP

Next up is Flip'd Out, a Vekoma Boomerang coaster that opened in 2002, making it Maple Lake's first coaster of the new Millennium. Nothing too spectacular, you go through three inversions and then do it again in reverse. You know the routine.

SCR24.BMP

Through the Boomerang...

SCR25.BMP

...and up the spike.

SCR26.BMP

In 2007, B&M returned with Reaper, a floorless coaster.

SCR27.BMP

Down the first drop.

SCR28.BMP

Into the first of five inversions, the Immelman which leads to the giant vertical loop. The other three inversions include a cobra roll (2 inversions) and a barrel roll.

SCR29.BMP

2009 saw Maple Lake get its third wooden coaster. Wooden Predator was built by Great Coasters International. Like many GCI coasters, it has a twisted layout.

SCR30.BMP

First drop fun.

SCR31.BMP

Twisted goodness.

SCR32.BMP

Wooden Predator sits alongside Maple Lake.

SCR33.BMP

Wooden Predator is currently the most popular wooden coaster at the park.

SCR34.BMP

In 2012, Lightning opened. Built by Premier Rides, it was the park's second launched coaster to open in the park's history.

SCR35.BMP

The coaster has two inversions, an Immelman and a barrel roll.

SCR36.BMP

There are also two airtime hills.

SCR37.BMP

In 2013 the new Frontier Town opened. Maple Lake re-added previously closed rides they kept in storage. In 2014, they also added a new coaster, a modified wild mouse called Wild Carts. It became a popular ride.

SCR38.BMP

In 2015, the park's most recent coaster and biggest investment to date opened. Bronco, and Intamin Giga Coaster, opened with fanfare. Topping 300 feet, it is now the tallest coaster in the park, even towering over the previous tallest, Kamikaze.

SCR39.BMP

The coaster just towers over the other coasters. Look how the airtime hills dwarf American Patriot.

SCR40.BMP

The train flies over these little hills.

SCR41.BMP

The first drop out of station gets things started.

SCR42.BMP

Then some bunny hills to get things going.

SCR43.BMP

Then the lift hill.

SCR44.BMP

Going over one of the airtime hills.

this was pretty nice kamikaze was my favorite!
