Part 2.5: More Trains at the railroad museum. More Pics/TR. Cool Art Deco entrance. Strasburg Railroad is next. Museum entrance. It was just remodeled. Electric powered. The trains. Passenger cars, cargo and boxcars. Yes that model on the bottom of the case is k'nex. That government spending must be hurting the museum. We next went upstairs to look at this other exhibit and also the viewing deck. Now there's model train for me! lol Another old train. This is a little hands on exhibit on which you can drive a train. Didn't work though. That's some good wood. lol The side of the plow car. Inside of a plow car.

^ I nearly had the urge to go to the nearest model train shop and by my own model ride! Part 2: The Railroad Museum. This was the most boring part of the trip IMO, but that's because I'm not a big train freak. Part 2.5 coming up soon! Inside the engine room. That's one big a$$ model train! If you know what comes out of here, e-mail dan! If you win, you get whatever comes out of here! lol More carnival ride models! Looking down the side of the train. This is another set with flanges. One set of wheels. This one has no flanges. For those who wonder what's under a train. The boiler. The inside of a passenger car, similar to one that I'll be riding on later. BIG model circus tents. I have no idea what any of the following trains are.

Are any of the other rides being sold to other parks? It looks like most of them could still be used like the boomerrang coaster, skyscraper, and splashboat ride.

Aw crap. I didn't see that. Lock it away...

After just checking the HP website I found out that Hersheypark was voted as the best amusement park outside of Orlando! Here's a quote taken from the TripAdvisor website... http://www.tripadvisor.com/PressCenter-i147-c1-Press_Releases.html The thing here is that HP beat Cedar Point, this suprises me since CP has more rides. Oh what the heck, I'm just happy that it won! Comments?

Dorney Park Best-Hydra Worst- The Monster Hersheypark Best- Lightning Racer Worst-Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge (it's still a good ride).

Part 1 Strasburg Railroad along with some modeled flat rides. While almost everyone's having a great time in the midwest I ended up in a similar place with tons of corn! After arriving on Sunday, the next day we had breakfast at the nearest Perkins. BEST-PANCAKES-EVAR!!!!After we got to Strasburg, we went to the railroad museum from which we heard, got remodeled since the last time I was there which was nearly 10 years ago. The next day, they were going to have some kind of circus event and they were setting up 15 to 20 railroad models. One of them almost looked like an actual amusement park! It had a Zipper, Huss TopSpin, Wild Mouse and Ring of Fire! Another one had a working model Intamin Drop Tower along with a coaster Dynamix Model. From now on I'll do the Robb method of explaining my trip. I spy an Intamin! Stay Tuned for Pt. 2 The actual museum and other parts and photos tomorrow! Looks like some good wood. More random Rides. They had some random Carousel horses and tiger. The Huss TopSpin along with some other flat rides. Just a basic S&S drop Tower. The Zipper looked good but could've been better. The detail on the Ring of Fire ride is unbelieveable. Cool! A Wild Mouse! I wonder if it works? I'M IN HEAVEN!!!!

^^I guess I can make a taller one and just take away part of the lake. ^ lol. No, it's an animal and it's an easy one.

New Update. If nobody's read the post a few posts above, I've started over. It was a good choice too and I've started work on the NE section. This area is partly built on a replica of the mountains in the northeast. Some parts are steep which means that tunneling will be a good idea. The rides are Calamity Mine River Falls which is a flume that travels through an abandoned mine and has a few drops along the way. The next one is a chairlift that leads to the top of the mountain. At the top is a disko called Over the Edge since it's built along side a cliff. A thrilling experience. Going down to the Central Plains area is the New England Central Senic Railway. This provides a great view of the forests while going down the hill and also the coaster called Deer Chaser. Deer Chaser is a traditional wooden coaster with plenty of bunny hills and an underground turnaround. Next to the park entrance is a Carousel. I won't be able to post any new updates until after Thursday since I'll be on vacation from tomorrow afternoon till then. Here's a hint on my next coaster. Unjumble the words and you get the type of coaster. (I love to keep people hanging on. ) dstrewioswtnt. Here's a hint to the name. Teeth. The whole park (the lake is the central area.) The whole NE section of the park. The summit with a viewing deck, Railway station, chairlift station, disko, and ice cream shop. The chairlift and trail leading up to the summit. From top to bottom: New England Central Scenic Railway, Calamity Mine River Falls, Deer Runner. Calamity Mine River Falls station. The carousel building has a nice classic look to it. The park entrance and Guest Services/ Season Pass office on the left. Deer Chaser. No trees yet.

That probably gave him a heart attack. Yay! More shots of Eejanaika!

http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35614 belongs in the rumor thread IMO.

Hydra is good in a smooth point of way. You get a lot of hang-time in the Jojo Roll. Steel Force is good the bunny hops do produce a touch of airtime. Didn't ride Lazer. Thunderhawk IMO is roughest coaster I've ridden so far and I only rode 9 coasters. The trim on the last few bunny hops ruin the ride. Talon was good, but not really intense. Just a tip. DON'T ride the Monster! You need a cariopractor after you ride it. Hopefully SV will be good addition next year.

I do have a piece of flat land between the Northeast and Northwest, I guess I can try to pull it off. I've got the entrance gate done. It looks like a log cabin though. New update coming soon.

The new park landscape has 4 areas. The Northeast with rides built into and on a replica of the Appalachian Mountains. This is going to be themed with TONS of pine trees, log cabins as buildings and also a touch of mine theming. The second area which is below is going to be (you guessed it) themed to the southeast or everglades. This area will be swampy with bushes along with a few water ways. The main ride will be a Swampboat tour going through the everglades. Animals might be included. The next area will be themed to the southwest or in other words, western themed. A replica western town will be built with hands-on exhibits and a working saloon. A railroad will be constructed with a tour of what the south looked like. The last area is the northwest with its snow capped mountains and vast tree-filled landscape. This area is going to be the most beautiful out of the 4 areas. There will be a chairlift that goes to the top of one of the mountains which will give a panoramic view of the whole park. The other way to get down is on an alpine toboggan run circling the mountain. On a seperate landscape map is going to be a combination wilderness themed hotel/water park/ indoor theme park. This will be released as a bonus. Stay Tuned for screenshots!

I'm deciding to change the landscape of the park. This means that I'm starting over. The reason is that most of America's forests have mountains and stuff, but the original layout was flat. Doing this will a character to the park. Expect something even better in the next 2 to 3 days!

New Update. To add some realness to the park, some rides will have company sponsors. Next to the main entrance is a new first aid station and restrooms building. Going down the monorail midway is the wilderness Rail, and new, Jeep Off-Road Challenge. This ride puts you through an off roading course with log bumps and 2 hills while going through a miniature forest. It's a cool family ride. Across from that is the Fire Tower parachute ride. This takes you up a tall tower and gives you a great view of the forest-to-be. To the left of that is a Burger King, a gift shop called Mother Nature Inc. which also has an ATM. At the other end of the building are lockers. There's also a Dippin' Dots cart in the main midway. The Entrance Sign Mother Nature Inc. and Burger King. Lockers and a photo booth. The entry plaza. The new Restrooms and Wilderness Rail at the top of the pic. Wilderness Rail and Jeep Off-Road Challenge. The entrance. Stay Tuned for more!

I heard that the bridge was being worked on at that time when this happened. Could be a structural failure or a mistake on the construction workers' part. 6 people have been found dead so far. This doesn't happen very often. I feel sorry for the people on the bridge at the time.

cooltext.com. It has lots of cool texts to use. This afternoon, I've added a first aid/ restroom building next to the entrance and a monorail station next to that.

Along with my Hersheypark project, I'm going to work on another park, but this one kind of is a creation of my own. Wilderness America (formerly named Wilderness Adventures in the screens) is going to be a combination with realness and fiction put together. Here's what I mean... The location the park is on is a real place and is not that far away from a raceway in Maple Grove, just south from Reading. Since the nearest park is like 30-40 miles away, I thought, "What if Reading got their own theme park?" Located along Pa route 568, it is in the middle of a farming and housing area. The land that was formerly a farm was sold to a multi-billionare and he wants to build a hotel, indoor water park, theme park, and thrill park on the land and the land ajasnt to it. The owner also want's it to have a wilderness theme to it. So far, a road which leads into a parking garage underneath the park, a mini hyper coaster which will kick off a themed area to mythical animals and places has been built called Bigfoot, and a restaurant have been built. The goal for this creation is to make it as realistic and as perfect as possible. Stay tuned for more. The park so far. A road will be connected around it. The main entrance. The billboard will be changed soon. Bigfoot is a B&M mini hyper coaster. The station still has to be finished. Can't get any more detailed than this. Bigfoot Souvenirs and Ride Photos. An Arby's Xpress restaurant next door. A catering area, but it's mainly a seating area for Arby's Xpress. Bigfoot at night. I like this pic. Stay tuned for more!

Wow! Thanks! I was looking at the link on the RCT Custom Scenery list and it went to rapid share or something by that name. Usually you get that message when the game crashes or something. I don't know what to tell you to do.

I wa wondering what happened to you. But anyways, good luck and thanks on helping to defend our country's freedom.

It can't be global warming. But I do beleive that NYC could flood because the ocean is rising an inch or something a year and if a strong hurricane hits, then it could flood. This could affect the subway systems very badly.

Ah! I see you found the new catwalk scenery! To bad the set with the brakes and stuff is a set where you have to pay for it or it's temporary. Good job! I'm taking a bet that your computer has to laging big time.

I'm just going to keep it the way it is and my testing plan is measuring how high the car could go going up on a hill. This will give me a ratio on the max. hight I can make each hill. Also, I don't plan on making anything higher than the hill it last went over. When I went to get my supplies, I looked around for something better than metal tubing or Plastruct and found ployetholine tubing. It's thick and stiff, but it can still bend, eliminating the use of any bending machines.

Could a mod. remove this post? thanks
