I thought It was time to do something a little different. Instead of a "story" park, I thought it would be fun to show all the work that goes into making a park. My Park! About One hour in. I just finished building my "centerpiece ride in sandbox. Starting to custom support the lift hill. About 3 hours into the park. Station work has begun as well as more custom supports. Transfer track almost complete. About 5 hours into park. Station about 90% done, catwalks installed, and work on where I want the main gate. Roughly 6 hours in. Parking lot layed out. More support work. 7 hours in. Entrance plaza and main gate building under design phase. Parking lots done. 8 hours in. Custom supports Finaly done. Merry Go Round built. Path layout begins. Park entrance undergoing some design changes. I hope that you enjoy this "unique" look into my future park. I need a name for the B&M hyper. Colors Track-Blue Rails-Pink Supports-Yellow. Speed 82.4 mph. Length 5818 ft.

Kennywood Opening Day...then Cedar Point opening day! -
How are you guys enjoying the season so far. Hard to believe it is August already. Mammoth reached it 1,000,000 rider today! Arrowhead is currently down for a long referb. work should be done by opening day next season. Wave Swinger and the famous waterfall. Shockwave was testing after a breakdown. And this if you hadn't guessed it is the spot for our 2011 attraction. I will have full coverage of our last day of the season. Jim

Still trying to figure out how to do billboards in 7 Opening Day! What a view from the parking lot! Had to get a view of the famous waterfall. Front gate is ready to go. Still waiting for the clock to be installed on the tower though.... Mammoth is an amazing site from inside the gate. The finishing touches where put on Mammoth this past week. New light on the catwalks and..... The new chain return/lift motor housing. More from opening day soon!
