^ Awesome photo. Winner of CP's Facebook photo contest, and on RCDB!

========================== -Mr. Heiznorg (CEO of Flusskamm Parks) Woah....

The Ghost: Thanks! Stoksy: It's okay. B&M Didn't make Floorless coasters til' 1999. TPM25: Thanks! And yes Donau will continue. BelgianGuy: It's two different Parks, but they're owned by the same company. ============================== 1990- September Today I finally got to go to Donau. Monster Truck Mayhem is doing well. I wander why Schweizer-Bob hasn't been added... I love that yellow building! I got to ride the park's nice Wave Swinger! Even with two trains, Doppelte Looping still has a big queue. Grass has started to grow along the banks of the stream. I think it looks lovely! 1990 Aerial 1990 Overview Lastly, land has been cleared between Doppelte Looping and Superslide. Looks pretty major, wander whats going on... ---------------------------------- 1989 Rider Results 1. Conquistador 2. Schweizer-Bob 3. Doppelte Looping 4. Observation Tower 5. Riverside Runner 6.

========================================== Rheine Park Ridge: August 1990 Frohe Ostern, wie geht es Ihnen? Hellow, How are you? Well I haven't gotten to Donau since opening week, but I was lucky enough to visit the new park, Rheine Park Ridge! The park is under construction, but alot of news stations, media, stuff like that were getting a back stage tour. The park is planned to open by May 1992. Here is the parks family coaster. It follows terrain. In this photo you can see the 'ski lift' which takes riders up to a huge hill where they can ride the parks family coaster, eat some food, or shop in an unfinished themed area. This is the parks most thrilling coaster, it's a used Schwarzkopf similar to Double Looping at Donau. Zipper from Donau Park Ridge got relocated to Rheine. This is the main entrance to the park with some buildings and attractions in the back ground. Unlike Donau wich sits on a small river outside of the Danube, Rheine is actually on the Rhine River! How beatiful!

Thanks for those great comments. I'm not trying to sound rude and selfish, but whens the last time you've seen HHE? I used to love it, but looking back- The buildings were blocks or in game sets. Some of the coasters were unrealistic, especially when it came to braking, layout, and supports. Well I'm guilty too of Supports, I sometimes forget to connect them all the way, use the wrong type of support, or Over/Under Support. CD5 did improve alot on Kingdom de Espana (I think thats what it was called.) His buildings got alot better, his layouts were more realistic, but he still under supported his coasters. CD5- If your reading this, I'm not trying to make you sound horrible and me sound perfect. Cause he is a pro at RCT3 and, every single one of my previous parks SUCKED, and Sadly Donau is my best work...

Awesome RCT2 park. I love me some Schwarzkopf's.

Thanks, I got inspired by Laser at Dorney. Thanks again! ===================================================== 1990 April- --------------------- Double Looping looks sleek with it's Paint job, It looks like Laser at Dorney Park, Well when it was there! I love it's station. I went to ride Riverside Runner and I got an unexpected surprise! The railings are blue! It looks more appropriate to it's name. The water was pretty today. Look how reflective the lake by Conquistador was. El Latigo doesn't get much love. And what you were all wandering, Yes there is a new ride for 1990. Not the best ride, but it's still something, Monster Truck Mayhem. Oh, yeah.. It replaced Zipper. And used some of Thunderbob's old queue and Zippers exit. It's entrance. 1990 Aerial. 1990 Was all about the front side of the River.

Americana and El Dorado are coming along great!

No, Paramount did that. Cedar Fair moved it to the airtime hill where to loop once was. Which is a great place for it.

The 2009 Park Map for Carowinds is now available online. And good news, it's staying Paramount Style like KI's 09' map!

Well Yeah, alot of HUGE things were being made in America, but In Europe things weren't as big at the time. But let me tell you that it's just a matter of years til' Donau gets bigger things! =================================== Well I was filming a POV of Schweizer Bob but the thunderstorm cut off the power for a minute... Then I tried again and it doesn't show up any where on my computer. So If anyone would like to volunteer to film POV's of the coasters, I would appreciate it alot and give you some type of 'prize.' =================================== 1989 August- As I said before, Double Looping is getting a paint job. I was told that the track is done along with the loop supports, but all the rest of the supports still need painted and a second train has yet to arrive. The bigger building in the back ground is Schweizer-Bob's Station I like how they added lights to the lift hill and MCBR! The coaster flies through some of these turns The coaster almost resembles a water slide from underneath it! As seen from Conquistador's entrance I forgot to take pics of this last time, but for 1989 Flusskamm also installed a small Dinosaur Ride for the young ones. Reptile Rage is tucked in between Donau Mill Falls and Schweizer Bob. Remember to post PTR's!

========================================== 1989- Late season Well only about two more weeks left til' Donau is closed for the season. I wander what they're going to make for 1990... Well my camera broke again so it's in the shoppe, I think I may just go ahead and buy a new one. I did manage to get one picture though. Not really the best, but You can see that Orient Express got some pink lights. I'm really mad that I didn't get to take more pictures! Double Looping looks great, but it's closed. They are done painting the track, but the supports are being painted a darker shade of purple, and a second train is being put on to increase capacity. Remember to post you PTR's please!

^Thanks. ^Thank you soooo much! ----------------------------------------------------------- I went to Donau today, but my camera was being repaired so I couldn't take any pictures. I'm a local there so I know alot of employees. One of my friends who is a ride operator is good friends with Anton Heiznorg who is the CEO of Flusskamm Parks. I asked Mr. Heiznorg a few questions, one being if they have started construction on the new park. He answered yes and showed me this picture! He said that the park will have a Schwarzkoph Looper similar to Double Looping at Donau. He also said the park is planned to open in 1993. But anyways, While I was at Donau I noticed some changes. Double Looping is closed and getting a paint job, The track is yellow and the supports will remain purple. Donau Mill Falls, Conquistador, and Orient Express all received colored spot lights, they looks amazing! My camera should be fixed soon so I'll be sure to get to Donau and take some pictures!

Thanks, and they will both be going on at the same time. For example, if I post a 1997 update on Donau, the next update on Rheine will be that same year. ============================= http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BSSSIAJ6 Download^ •Required Sets• ATH Catwalks Moki Tangram Gardens MYR Box Supports Old Spices Corkscrew Supports J-Cats Steelworkx Shyguy's Alpine 1-3 Shyguy's Mainstreet 1-4 Shyguy's Catfish Cove Shyguy's Circus Center 1 Shyguy's Waterworld 1 Spankey's Hedges & Topiarys Vodhin's Vermont Scenery Vodhin's Strip Lights LG Harbour Set Aceana's ACCENTS Old Spices Tree Set Belgabor's Asian Walls 1 Vodhin's Lighting Kit v2 Imagine Log Flume Covers Marnetmar's Leftovers1 Vines Iceact's Timberframe KLN-Framework JohnyEars Pirate Ship CFL Please feel free to post a Photo Trip Report, I would much preciate it!

=================================================== November 1988- Donau Park Ridge Bought out --------------------------------------------------------- 1989 Opening day- 10 Year Anniversary Celebration The park epansion is behing Donau Mill Falls. It's not that big. A new restroom facility was built. The On Ride Photo shop and entrance. Schweizer-Bob looks amazing! It's queue line has fake snow piles around it. From ontop of the lift you can see Conquistador! Germany Turnpike isn't so hidden now. Most of the layout minus the station, brake run, and transfer track. Nice overview! A beautiful aerial view of Germany's Best Amusement Park in 1989! 1989 Overview, MASSIVE! Flusskamm's official Logo, I guess they're making a new park too! *~PARK DOWNLOAD COMING TOMORROW AFTERNOON!~*

Can't wait to see more.

==================================================== 1988 End of the season! I wander when the next picture will be added here... The general public loves Donau Mill Falls! Here is some of it's queue, it was kind of cold so there wasn't a line. Double Looping has horrible capacity, it needs a second train. While I was walking by Tilt-A-Whirl, it had some problems... Random picture!

Looks cool.

======================================= 1988 August- Unpopular Rides. Today I felt like going to go ride some of the less popular rides to increase it's ridership so they will stay in the park longer (I know, I'm a huge geek!) Poor old Scrambler... El Latigo is actually a fun ride, I wander why no one rides it... Not sure why, But I love how Orient Express looks even though it's just the average Wacky Worm with a crappy station! Rotor was popular in it's opening year, but since then it's been becoming un-noticed. German Turnpike... Soon to be used to be? Tilt-A-Whirl was never popular! Superslide isn't so super is it..? Such a lovely ride, this PTC Carousal is over 80 years old (It came from an American Park.) For a ride being on the very front of the park this doesn't get the attention you would think. Enchanted Tea Cups is hidden behind trees so not many people see it. Random picture I felt like sharing.

I was just about to post this topic when I noticed you already did... I'm sad Fun Spot is closing, I never got to visit it, and I live in Indiana...

------------------------------------------------------------ 1988 May- Donau Mill Falls just opened last week. I think this is the most beautiful thing at Donau. You see that little white pole? Well that sprays riders along with the cannons on the other side. I went to Conquistador and got a walk on but on my way back to Maestrom I saw the huge crowd on their way to Conquistador, so I barley missed the evening crowd! Maestrom is popular! I think Double Looping may be more popular than Conquistador this year! Riverside Runner isn't as popular as it was back in the day, but it still usually has a half full queue. Wow, Thunderbob's old Queue is still there!? As seen from Zipper. Ass seen from Riverside Runner. Also from Zipper. The park's lovely entrance with Conquistador dominating the back side of Donau!

Close...! =================================== March 1988: Park Opening day! Well I ended up staying in America til' August and the park closed early this season for some weird reason. Well ALOT of things have happened! I look across the river and see this... I think this building came out good, but I forgot to add some over hangs on the front, Next update they'll be fixed! On the left of that building is this... A cool deck with water cannons to spray at riders and some tables! Errr Dumb Graphics Card keeps doing that when I take pics! And 1988's main attraction... Donau Mill Falls! A very awesome Used Arrow Hydro Flume that came from a park in the UK. It was made by rideopsjon, it was going into his park but his game stopped working so he gave it to me, and I added some rocks too it! Sadly, Donau Mill Falls is the most themed ride I've ever done but Donau has some big plans in the future for themed rides! This is the first drop, very small. Also, the ride isn't opening til' May once it gets warmer. This is the main drop! Notice the skyline in the background!!?? I ♥ How the splash down came out! Here is the not so great Station. Layout! A new Eli Ferris Wheel opened in House of Fun's spot. 1988 Overview 1988 Aerial View. I want to thank rideopsjon for making such an amazing logflume, I think he did an outstanding job!

Thanks for the replies. ---------------------------------------------- July 1987- Mystery Construction! The park has added these small decorative shader things over the river that runs through the park. There is a new path. I got on Riverside Runner to go see what was going on in the construction site but I couldn't see much. I got on Germany Turnpike and saw a small lake. In other news, House of Fun is closed... I hope it gets removed! 1987 Aerial View!

Nessie

Thank you guys for those replies! ============================== Thanks everyone else for doing the survey, keep doing it for this update too please! And also I noticed most people think House of Fun is they're least favorite thing here, and I totally Agree! It hasn't been popular at all, not even the kids do not like it. Well 1986 Ride Popularity came in. Memorial Day Weekend 1987 Double Looping had a huge line as always, It's very popular. I can see why It's so popular! You can even see the line from ontop of Observation Tower. Speaking of Observation Tower, It has a full queue almost every day. Maestrom is the second most popular flat ride at the park, right behind Observation Tower. This guy just got off of Orient Express, he needs to chill out it's just a Wacky Worm.. Dead last in 1986 German Turnpike is also very unpopular, I have only actually had to wait in line for it once and that was opening day. See look how busy the midway is! Conquistador is the most popular thing in the whole park. Random cool photo. Memorial Day Weekend 1987 aerial view. I'll be visiting America soon and won't be back til' Late June so next update will be July 4th. Also I'm not sure if Germany celebrates 4th. of July or Memorial Day but I'll just say they do even if they don't.
