Great tutorial, djbrace. I'll be sure to try this out sooner or later. Just a question: What are the stats of the wave pool? You know, excitement, intensity?

Voted. Good luck!

I knew you'd like that A little friendly competition sounds fun to me. And thanks, that's what the majority of my work went into: well, that and the coaster. Thanks to everyone else who replied, and yes I fixed the fountain problem, so no worries on that one.

Loving the woodie!

Why no love for Jr. Gemini?

I planned to have the announcement Thursday, but my two soccer practices were cancelled today and thus, since I feel like the area has been finished, here it is: Stats: Blue Abyss at Grand Grove in Kingstree, SC 175 feet tall 160 foot drop 150 foot second hill 130 foot pretzel turn Large helix 5,908 feet long: (LONGEST ROLLER COASTER ON THE EAST COAST!) Constructed by: D.H Morgan Manufacturing Opens opening day, 1999 season This is the fourth "hypercoaster" ever built by D.H Morgan Manufacturing, the first three being Wild Thing (1996, Velleyfair), Steel Force (1997, Dorney Park), and Mamba (1998, Worlds of Fun). Although not particularly a hypercoaster with a drop of 160ft, it has the same features and thrills as any other (Many may prefer it over the others by Morgan!) The park could not escape the height waver placed over them with a limit of 180ft. blue abyss 5.bmp A body of water separates the coaster from the rest of the park. overview.bmp The coaster gives the feeling of traveling out into uncharted territory by flying over water, forests, and hills. island.bmp With Six Flags Majestic Lake in Greensboro, NC only a three hour drive away (which installed a hyper out-and-back woodie in 1997) it seems Grand Grove is working to beat it's competition. They hope "Blue Abyss" will help put them on the map, even more-so than it was. queue.bmp We are proud to announce that the Blue Abyss queue has been FULL for the entire season! Excluding some summer weekdays, the wait may exceed 1 and a half hours. But, the views from the line are spectacular- you're taken directly under the massive structure, over a scenic lake, and right next to the last few bunny hills. Behind the queue, a small plaza with shops, arcades, and more has been added. Blue Abyss, new for the 1999 season Grand Grove, Kingstree, SC And to add to this huge update....Grand Grove has given us the scoop on it's plans for future expansion! (Sort of) Let's take a look... ---- Thus ends the massive update for the 1999 season. 1. What do you think of "Blue Abyss" and it's surrounding additions? 2. What do you expect from the three-year expansion plan? -Braztaz

Remember, whenever you build a new coaster- just submit it! You'll never know what records it may hold!

@DJBRACE: Close! @K&M: Thanks! It will break one record. Who wants to guess what it is?

I agree about the coaster layouts. You really know how to make a good ride!

Sundays will be your best bet.

@K&M: Thanks! It really means a lot! @DJBRACE: Just a sloppy promo I decided would be fun to put together @JJUNE: You figured out my secret! Thanks! Since this is Grand Grove's first major expansion since I've really started to focus on atmosphere, I decided to get a little suspenseful buildup! You'll find more of these teasers scattered about this week, each revealing a bit more about the coaster, leading up to the official reveal announcement. Opinions, thoughts, predictions...everything is welcome! Grand Grove Promo #2.wmv

Up close and personal pics of roller coasters is always a plus!

My only problem with this updaste is the entrance poking out of the station in the last screen; I suggest fixing that!

Thanks, perxsonally I think those are the best buildings I've ever done! Oh, and... grand grove.wmv A teaser

Wow, your really revamping the place! I'm sure all he changes are for the better, though!

1998 Here it is, the tallest structure at the park, much higher than the previous peak, Nightlight at 95ft. Have you ever wanted to know what it' like to climb up 150ft....only to drop back down again? Make a visit to Grand Grove this 1998 season, and your wishes will come true. Located in an expansion behind the entrance to "Wicked Woodland", " Freefallin' " will have you screaming for more of it's 150ft ascent and descent. SCR122.BMP As guests enter the queue, they are treated to the music of Tom Petty's " Free Fallin" '. (For opening day, the song will be played throughout the park as well.) The new ride makes a huge impact on the skyline, and adds to the collection of scream machines Grand Grove has to offer. Freefallin': New for the 1998 season Grand Grove, Kingstree, SC, USA SCR123.BMP Opinions welcome!

I should be going later today. But I might have to leave early and miss haunt cause of school

I don't recall you ever showing us any of the water park, not even a progress screen. May I ask for one, or is it too early?

Love it. Although I'll miss that clock tower, it was first thing I ever saw in this park

Looking noce indeed!

Wise words. The park is coming along nicely, though!

New next season....

Wow, this is great! For some reason, the second screen really stands out from the others for me! I don't know why though...but I do know that I'll be eagerly awaiting some more updates from you!

Anyone checking out the haunt this weekend?
