Fantasy Village Parks is once again expanding! FVW - Original Fantasy Village on the West Coast, United States of America FVE - East Coast, United States of America FVEuro - Germany & Introducing FVJ - Japan Here is the proposed layout for the "Mini-Mega" style coaster for Fantasy Village - Japan. The Gauntlet - Fantasy Village Japan Though I do not associate with real life manufactures, the design for the Gauntlet was inspired by the "What If?" of B&M's version of a "Mega-Lite." Fantasy Village Japan will be about the same size as my North American parks and will feature the same amount of coasters (11.) I've been tossing around ideas for a 5th park, but so far haven't done any work for it. I really hope I don't start the 5th park, because the 4 parks I have are more than enough work for me at this time. If I had to guess the percentage of completion, I would say... FVW - 60% FVE - 65% FVEuro - 70% FVJ - 15%

Thank you guys for all your hard work capturing all of IAAPA! It has been a great week, coming home from work and having so much new and cool stuff the check out everyday.

I really like the suspended coasters layout. It looks like it starts off at a normal suspended coaster pace (Ninja, Big Bad Wolf, ect...) but towards the end it looks like it really picks up a lot speed (Flight Deck, Vortex, ect...) The Viper recreation also looks incredible. Even with all the bad things said, I've always wanted to ride that coaster.

^,^^,^^^, & ^^^^ Thank you guys very much! It's comments like these that keep me working on the project. Unfortunately I recently added a second job so it will be hard to find time to play the game, but the project will move forward. Here is look at the Dark Castle coaster featured at FVEuro. And here is a look at the rollercoaster in it's place. & Another angle. I was so happy with the finished product, I had to clone it for another park. This version is slightly altered to offer a longer MCBR (Compare red & blue) Even though RCT1 does not feature block brakes. Here is the ride in place at FVE Another angle. And Another... And lets take a look at the stats. Dark Castle is a rollercoaster inspired by dark rides. It's all about horror, suspense, claustrophobia, darkness, and sudden drops and direction changes. The coaster car feature 6 across seating so all riders have chance to experience the theme throughout the ride, as well as offering all riders the same suspense on the holding brake finally. Thank you for reading, hope you guys enjoy it.

Nice looking park so far, It's got a lot classic charm. My only dislike would be the train length on your wooden coaster. 2 Cars is extremely small, I think it would look a lot greater with 3 or 4 cars.

Yesterday 11/15 Journey To Atlantis @ SeaWorld San Diego Journey To Atlantis Shortly after that I headed to the beach to check out a brand new ride. Control Freak Yes, it is not a coaster, but it is pretty awesome.

Blitz looks very promising! I really like The Double Loops layout and location.

Wow, that looks really good! I like the Superman Logo too.

Fantasy Village East The park is really starting to take "shape" South East Corner - Park Entrance North East Corner South West Corner Middle and North East Corner Cody's Castle - Awesome roof top maze, Indoor Bumpercars, Ice Cream, Cotton Candy and more sweets. Dragon still has the prettiest MCBR in the world. The area around The Gauntlet is finally getting worked on. Dynamite Blast - A tower ride that blast riders out of a mine high into the sky! Hope you enjoy. A Small Log Flume across from The Gauntlet.

Awesome! I was just there yesterday and saw the year old Sea Turtle on display in Aquarium De La Mer. I wonder what will take the place in the enclosures near Shipwreck Rapids.

The mini rocket coasters just don't look impressive without the inversions.

Wow! That is where they should have filmed Zombieland!

Thank you guys very much for the comments. I have prepared an update for all 3 Fantasy Village parks. Fantasy Village - West (FVW) Phantom - A Family Coaster that Haunts an Old Cemetery. Designed for families with young children ready for bigger thrills. Phantom is located close to Monster Of The Dark Forest in the North East corner of the park. Fantasy Village - East (FVE) This Phantom turned out be a bit larger. The park really wanted to do a launch coaster, and the ride turned out to be a huge success with younger and older families. Fantasy Village - Europe (FVEu) I mentioned in my last post that this park is much smaller than the other two parks, so when it came down to designing the rides, space was my main concern. When I started working on the Dragon I wanted something smaller but not inferior to the other designs. I think the finished product turned out to a Unique addition to the Dragon series. Check it out... The Station and Queue for Dragon. The train rolls out of the station backwards and drops into a castle façade. The train rushes through two Heartline Rolls over Acid BACKWARDS! Falling down the second hill the ride rolls through a straight section then heads into to a half loop until it runs out of energy. Riders in the back of the train experience a moment of hangtime before the train rolls down. Passing through the straight section again the train is launched up the hill. The train passes though the heartline rolls again and back into the façade where the train is launched a second time. The train continues back up hill and rushes past the station. Past the station the ride continues to pick up speed on a third launch in a long narrow tunnel. At the end of the tunnel the train speeds up a giant half loop only to once again run out of energy at the top (Now front row riders get the hangtime.) The train rolls back down and into the tunnel until it stops back in the station.

Another awesome update! Made me laugh too, I had a geocities a long long time ago!.

Nice ride! I really like the over water parts of this wooden coaster. I don't even know what NE is, but your like looks awesome to me!

^&^^ Thank you guys very much. I am excited to continue the Franchise and hopefully finish these parks. To help keep me on task, I had to further expand the franchise to keep my own interest in Fantasy Village going strong. Though I have never pin pointed their locations, you guys have all been under the assumption that Fantasy Village East and West are U.S.A. parks right?... Good, because U.S.A. parks they are intended to be. Well now it is time to get out your passport because we are heading to Europe! Introducing Fantasy Village - Europe The entrance to the NEW Fantasy Village park. Another angle of the entrance and a hint of another Inverted Wild Mouse. A pretty Unique coaster featuring suspenseful roller coaster terror and dark ride elements. Another angle of the rollercoaster known as "Dark Castle." Fantasy Village - Europe will feature some of the Franchise' favorite rides such as The Gauntlet, Dragon, and Vampire. The park will also introduce their own breed of terror such as the part dark ride, part rollercoaster known as "Dark Castle." The new park is several acres smaller than the U.S.A. parks but promises to deliver that same quality and experience that Fantasy Village is known for.

After working on several other uncompleted RCT projects, I'm finally getting back into the rhythm of Fantasy Village. Here is an new update for Fantasy Village West. Mine Kart Madness is the park's Wooden Wild Mouse Style Coaster. Here is a peek at the ride's layout. Right next door is a small Log Flume (Yet to be named.) Some sections of the ride are beyond view from the midways. On the other side of Mine Kart Madness there is plenty of snack stalls and a Hot Dog restaurant right along the river. Plenty of seating, scenery, and a great view of The Gauntlet's Top Hat! Speaking of The Gauntlet, rumors are starting to surface about Fantasy Village and the Manufacture of The Gauntlet and Dragon coasters. Apperantly they recently signed a contract for 5 new coasters! While I do consider myself to be a big fan of their coasters, I don't think putting that many coasters from the same manufacture is such a good idea. This new deal will bring the count up to 9, that's a lot from the same manufacture for only 2 parks.

Out of the 4 parks you visited in California I would say CGA is by far the champ in the flat ride department, Definitely kicked SFMM's ass! P.S. Doesn't get any better than Survivor!

GhostRider @ Knott's Berry Farm 10/17/10 It should be a coaster at SFMM, but I had to cancel my last visit due to neck injury.

^And I remember it being removed in May. EDIT: I lied, I remember it being removed in June. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26782&start=12590#p904403

I had a great time when TPR did "Termination Day." I would gladly do another single coaster event if the opportunity came up again.

I'm guessing they were put in that order for excitement levels.

^Haha! That is awesome!
