Going with the windstorm theme, I chose the name Tempest for the B&M floorless coaster. One of four big coasters this park will have. Below are some screenshots of recent progress. Tempest's final airtime run. The new marquee. Tempest Plaza The train WAY down the chasm while The Tempest roars above. The Arcadia River Railroad offers a great view of the falls. I have just added elevators to take peeps down to the new mini railroad. Bridge to the theme park.

Magnum's just over 100' tall.

Wow, this is outstanding work. especially on the waterpark theming... Those new lights are just awesome aren't they?

Thank you for the kind words. I'll try to post a video but I hear they take a long time to make. Once this park is done, it will be quite stunning. Expect a lot of custom stuff, highly detailed coasters and dark rides and a resort including an indoor waterpark.

Lookin' sharp! It's good to see this coaster get some love before it's set up. Thanks a lot for the great pictures, keep us posted!

SFNE's Cyclone has this insane drop halfway through the ride, buried in the outside structure. It gets me every time!

Here's the first batch of screenshots... I don't think the name Storm is lame, something along that theme might suit the ride well. A look down the chasm itself. A flat spin is the ride's final inversion. After this is a set of bunny hops delivering massive negative g's. Hope you like the park so far. Feedback is appreciated! After the mid-course brake run, the train blasts through an inclined loop. The Zero-G roll looms high over the entryway. The giant wingover, the ride's signature inversions. Upon exiting this element, riders are looking right down the chasm to the Arcadia River below. The other side of the camelback/zero-g roll area. The first drop leads to a massive airtime hill right over the entryway. A train on the lift hill with the rides first peeps. I love the new chain return/motor pack! The station area, complete with queue house, transfer track, photo booth, gift shop, etc. Once the ride is named a custom marquee will be added. An overview of the un-named B&M floorless coaster.

Hey all, I'm working on a major RCT 3 project! (look for all progress in this thread) Arcadia Chasm Theme Park will be a realistic park set in a fictional area, but inspired by actual local chasms. This heavily wooded area will feature a monster B&M floorless coaster, at least three other major coasters, and many gentle rides to take in the scenery. On the schedule tonight is finishing up the waterfalls and adding the station and details to my B&M. This is where I need your help... I'm looking for a good name for a partially terrain B&M floorless that focuses on airtime but features a unique set of inversions and some classics... The ride is silver track with teal supports. It should be themed to the woodlands, chasms, "the wind", something naturey but any name ideas are welcome. I'm also looking for overall ideas that you may like to see in an RCT theme park, so fire away. Look for the first screens tonight, and please help with this B&M!

Heh, the only word in English was "f*ck". Good to see the best parts of our language are used elsewhere. Ride looks kinda fun, yet another Intamin rocket credit.

^ I agree with the Villain comment. I also happen to LOVE the trains on that ride and I didn't find the ride to be noticeably rough. It's like me... I notice a lot of B&Ms get bashed but I haven't ridden a bad one yet. It's just that people have set guidelines for what makes a great ride and when they're not met, the person's just not going to like the coaster as much as someone with different standards, it's as easy as that.

It's 10% facts, 30% speculation and 60% mocking and joking. Apparently no one sees the REAL comedy in this thread.

I haven't ridden either of the newly revamped Pirates rides but I like the fact they added a Jack Sparrow animatronic. Yes they changed a historical ride, but eventually all rides should be updated and given an apportunity to offer a secondary experience.

Great photos, I've never seen any of that waterpark.

2 weeks in Japan sounds like an awesome plan. Lots of unique little parks and of course the place I've always wanted to see - Disney Sea/TDR. Looking forward to hearing the details in August, time to start saving...

Got lucky last month when Deja Vu was open for my first (and only!) visit to the park. Only coaster that was down for the whole trip was Ghostrider...

I've been on all the American accelerator coasters and Storm Runner was definately a great ride. I agree that this and Xcelerator beat out the big dragster towers.

Too bad... looked like the theming would have been nice.

I'm surprised with what I'm hearing about Darkastle, between this and the fact they are "sprucing the ride up" makes me wonder why it wasn't as successful as Spidey. I've yet to ride it, but Spiderman is one of the best rides I've been on. Any idea on how they're going to upgrade the ride as announced by the park?

Two really good flat rides right there. Reminds me I get to ride Maelstrom in a couple weeks, which is a spinout in Wildwood NJ.

I went to Knott's last month and Xcelerator closed at least twice, then started cycling trains an hour later each time, then finally stayed open the rest of the day. Silver Bullet e-stopped on the lift, but I don't believe it has any problems. B&Ms are nice and reliable.

Hopefully it'll be like when Dodonpa opened and everyone was too terrified to ride the thing. The curse of the scary American coaster returns!

Yeah, but satellites are allowed to orbit the planet to get photos.

ESkater, Dr. Doom's Fear Fall is a set of two S&S space shots.

I for one, am happy with the rate of updates. You shouldn't rush art!

Damn, how many dark rides does Blackpool have?
