Thankksss! Enjoy the next update.. ------------------------------------------------------------------ It's Opening Day!! Hey, Timothy again.. the big day is finally here! So, I've taken some time to wander round the park and get some shots for you, everyone seemed to be having a great time and I even managed to sneak in a few rides myself. I think we managed about 1,000 guests during the day, which to is a great achievement! The word obviously got round that we were opening. I also bring with me some Park details for you to browse through, just incase you planned on visiting! Season Dates - March 23rd 2015 to November 3rd 2015 Opening Times - Weekdays: 10:30 till 5:00 Weekends: 10:30-6:30 Park Events - To be announced very soon! Now.. onto some exciting pictures!! First customers through the gates! I bet they can't wait to see what we have on offer. This view looks mighty different with all the guests wandering round and enjoying our attractions! Looking down the North Midway.. This was just as the park opened hence so few guests wandering round! Many had already started queuing for rides however. Favourite shot of the day! I am in complete awe.. B&M sure know how to produce a coaster!! Took a little ride on the Big Wheel.. Nice to get a better shot of Tension! Speaking to a few guests I can remember quotes such as 'What a coaster.. can't wait to see what the park brings next!', and 'The staff members at this park are fantastic, customer service at it's best!' -- Looks like the park is having a great opening day! Revolution proved to be the hit of the day, people are loving the thrills! Bumper Cars are always good fun, the queue was never empty :o Constant queue for Tension, I am over the moon that people are really enjoying the park - but unfortunately by this point it was closing time.. I headed back to the entrance to collect some things I left in the ticket office.. but on the way out I noticed some work going on... Hmmm What do you think of it? If you could add anything to the park what would it be? Thanks for reading guys, hope to see you in the park soon! Signing Off, Timothy Rule Park Manager

Hello and welcome to Pine Valley Adventure, a brand new amusement park ran by Halls Amusements bringing thrills for all ages. My name is Timothy and I'm the manager of the park, overlooking day to day goings on and always trying to provide our guests with the best experience possible. Opening Day is one week away now and we can't wait to let our guests in to explore! However, you guys here at SGW are getting a first look at the park and we are asking for any feedback you can give before the big day, after all, we need the park looking 110% for the general public. Let's show you around.. Here's the entrance to the park. The stairs leading up to the main park, just after the entrance and toilets. First, a look to the left down the main midway that takes you to the second half of the park. But first we are going to head north and see what's around in this area. Fire In The Hole is an S&S Double Shot tower, the queue is enclosed in the building on the left, as is the ride itself, shooting up and out of the roof and high into the sky.. let's see if we can get a sneaky peek into the control room without the park inspector noticing. I love the view from control rooms.. maybe we should get out before I'm caught Carrying on round the corner we have a little eatery where you can purchase drinks and some light fast food. Just opposite the eatery there is a gift shop where you can purchase items such as t-shirts, toys, and some little sweets. To the right of the souvenir shop we have the helter skelter for the little ones. Now is it just me that thinks this shot looks great? After completing the circuit of the first half of the park we come back to the entrance of the Big Wheel. Now, back onto the main midway we have the second major thrill! Revolution! I'll get you guys a better look when we walk round the corner.. this is just the entrance to the queue which sits behind the ride. Storage lockers to keep all your valuables safe while riding the rides. Coming to the end of the midway now, here are the Bumper Cars that we housed up to make it look neater, we weren't overly sold on the fairground style of the ride. On the right of the Bumper Cars is another little outdoor seating area with a little shack in the corner selling small treats and hot chocolate to sit and snack on while enjoying the atmosphere of the park. I love the little string lights around the place. You can also get a better view of Revolution! Now.. coming back on ourselves a little bit I wanted to leave the best till last.. Here we have the entrance to our signature icon of the park! Tension! Housed in the pines you can't really get a good look at the layou.. But I can tell you some statistics - Launched Sit Down B&M Coaster Launch Speed - 55mph Top Height - 110ft Inversions - 3 Ride Time - 1 Minute Trains - 3 Trains (4 Rows of 4) Here's a shot from the control box in the station. And I'll leave you finally with a shot of the train.. awaiting riders on opening day! We've been thoroughly testing Tension and all of the other rides in preparation for Opening Day! We hope you can join us Thanks for reading guys and I really hope you can give all of us here at Pine Valley Adventure some feedback and fine tuning notes for the park.. we want you to all be involved in the future of the park! Signing off, Timothy Rule Manager

Interesting find on the B&M Wikipedia page, the Gardaland 2015 Coaster is supposedly going to be called 'Point of No Return' or so it states on the list of coasters! Thoughts?

I'd like to show you all my little side project heavily inspired by Cheetah Hunt at BGT. I have always taken an interest in this coaster and I decided to have a go at recreating it, i've spent the last week doing what i've got done and although there is a little support work left to do, the layout is finished and some themeing elements have begun to be put in place. This coaster has 4 launches as oppose to the 3 on the real coaster, the fourth launch is at the bottom of the drop off the tower. There is also an added helix right at the end of the coaster before the brake run. I've got some photos to share.. First launch and turnaround into the second launch Looking down the second launch from the maintenance walkway Looking up the tower from the second launch Another look at the tower and you can see the third launch at the bottom of the drop The second half of the layout, along with fourth and final launch A different angle And finally an overview, its not very good quality i know, but its gives you a comparison from the real layout

I really like this park! You've made a great start and I can see you've got a lot of room left for expansion However, with your Arrow looping coaster, or it may be a Vekoma? Im not too great with my coaster manufacturers.. But i'm pretty sure that they don't normally have more than 2 corkscrews? Don't take my word for it, but a possible suggestion would be to remove the third corkscrew and maybe add a small helix? Other than that, Great Start!

I'm bringing to you a new park I've been constructing for 2 days now, I'm going to focus on building the park first before I bring in a storyline for the park. I've got a fair amount of construction done and I'd like to share some photos in order to grab some feedback for further developments. Without further ado.. Although it's not huge and amazing, this is a small(ish) park and this is the signature coaster.. for now The coasters entrance, TimBurr is the coasters name It only has one train, which is a Millenium Flyer which was brought from GCI The entrance to JungKarts An overview of JungKarts and Tree Swinger Tree Swinger The entrance to Shot 'N Drop Shot 'N Drop overview The next ride is installed.. Now awaiting the themeing Signing Off,

I really like this coaster, The layout is nice and has a good range elements! Just a couple of Ideas: 1) Maybe add some footers? 2) Have you considered a MCBR? It would increase Capacity and Throughput would it not? 3)I think it would look nicer if you removed some of the glass covering over the queue, Perhaps have small sections covered? Other than that it's a good start!

New park coming soon!! I Hope you'll like what you see Shot0015.bmp Not quite finished, But this is 'Dev' Short for.. who can guess? Shot0016.bmp Stormrunner Clone! This will be in Asia and the village will be in the central of the coaster, Hitshui!

Since the opening of Verbolten, I got a high interest in the whole coaster and decided I wanted to recreate the coaster in Rct3.. so that's what I did! Now it's only a start and there is so much to do, and although I am from the UK I will still try my hardest to get the best recreation I can! The only thing that's actually finished is the layout and bridge, aswell as the structure for the show building! Now, at the moment I'm using the Ep Add on ML04 track with the Matterhorn Blitz cars.. I wondered if anyone would be so kind as to use the cars from the 'Crazy Taxi' CTR found on this link http://troca-rct3.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/ctr_12.html and then put them on the ML04 Track? Would be a great help and would make this more realistic! Thanks everyone, Please comment and let me know what you think

Thanks! Anything specific you like? Would love to know your exact thoughts! Ah just the feedback I needed! Thanks for replying! Wow that makes me feel just that more special thanks! I'm really trying my best with this park and putting so much effort into it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE Just a small update from me really, there is a lot of construction going on down at the park! I got some snaps but I'm posting from my phone on site at the park! I'll have to upload them when I'm back.. But I have a good feeling about what's happening! Looks like a big investment for the park

Can I just ask if anyone is still interested in this thread? I have so many ideas for this park and I'm just awaiting crucial feedback in order to put the park to it's full potential! Thanks

SEASON ONE (2012) Hey guys! My names Timmy Pointer and I got the chance to get down to Gostel Adventure Park today for its grand opening. Although there was no 'Opening Ceremony' there were however very small queue times and great reliability! The longest queue I remember was 20 minutes and that was for Kingdom Crawler... Surprising ay? Well, I managed to get some photos to share with you all but not as many as I planned simply because I took advantage of the small queues and rode all the rides to my hearts content! Lets get on with a little Photo TR As you enter the Alpine Village you can hear the ROAR from Pine Crawler the parks signature coaster! Breathe taking views I tell you! Love the shot of this in-line twist! I was later told that this was the first train of the day, Lucky riders! This view really gives you an idea of how close to the ground you are! The separate Unloading and Loading stations really helped the throughput of this ride, the ride was a walk on for pretty much the whole day! I thought I'd take a look at the Fantasy Kingdom. On my way this guy seemed shocked.. Not sure what for though? Maybe a Headache? This ride was a big hit among the thrill seekers! I didn't ride though as I'm not a fan of these kind of rides. This is the only photo I got in the Kingdom, It's just showing the 20 minute queue for the Junior Boomerang. I took a wander into the Western side of the park, Jumping Jack had a queue of about 5 minutes, seemed quite popular throughout the day. Last photo of the day! A train of happy riders on Stallion! Now what I didn't mention was that I managed to sneak in a little overhead flight in my friends chopper! Here are a couple of overview shots from around 4 o'clock in the park! Bear in mind the park shut at 5 today. Some people seen leaving the park, Although some still enjoying rides on Pine Crawler! A little look at the Alpine Village, this was by far the most popular area of the park today! Fantasy Kingdom began to get quieter as the day went on, although a small queue can still be seen for Kingdom Crawler. The Western side of the park seemed fairly quiet too.. The park also had this photo on sale, well it was on the back of a postcard, the park looks spectacular at night! Lets hope we get to see this in person soon! Well thank you fellow friends for taking the time to read my little report from the day! I'm going to persuade my parents to bring me back to the park within the next week or so. If there is anything you would like me to grab photos of leave me a comment and I'll catch what I can! Thanks guys

FEEDBACK Thanks! I'll have to have a look at what scenery I've got in my folders.. There's A LOT! But It's something I will definitely take into consideration. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I'm back with another 'Helicopter' Update! I'm anticipating a visit to the park by next Monday! But I did manage to grab a few photos showing the latest construction happening at Gostel Adventure Park.. I can now officially tell you.. It's big news! Alpine Village is now 100% Complete!! Bringing total construction to around 80%. Shall we get on with the photos? The entrance area is 50% complete.. Just some finishing touches to be added, as well as foliage. Just an overview of the Western side of the park! Alpine Village 100% Complete!! A new thrill ride has been added (Bottom Left) Kingdom Katapult is sure to suit the needs of young thrill seekers! A few other small touches have been made in this are too Well thanks for reading this construction update! (Please leave any feedback or 'constructive' criticism) Many Thanks,

I love this simplicity of this park! It's quite spectacular actually and I'm a big fan of your updates! My bets on a Vekoma SLC

Thorpe park are holding no 'Preview Days' or 'Annual Pass Days' This year and they open for the 2012 season on the 15th March. The family day may in fact be happening at Chessington but i'm not entirely sure. But hope what i've said helps anyone.

Why thank you. We're trying our best to keep this are family orientated. It is in fact one of my favourite rides in this park. I'm glad this park is living up to expectations. Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you have seen, it's been a rather long time since i've been to the park and been able to gather an update. Although.. yesterday I did manage to get a ride in my friends helicopter and I took a few overhead snaps showing you some of the progress that's been made in the park. I'll now share with you my pictures.. Bear in mind this is a small update and closer shots will be provided when I next get to the park in person, which should be sometime within in the week. A quick overview of the 'Fantasy Kingdom' If you look to the back left we have constructed our junior log flume 'Mystic Creek' which will provide excitement for younger thrill seekers, its also useful for a quick cool off. The back right is home to our Porch Theatre showcasing a variety of performances for our guests. You can see how we have added so much more foliage and artificial rocks to the 'Alpine Village' This will help to give it a more realistic look, Aswell as helping our coaster to live up to its 'Pine Crawler' reputation. A small overview of our entrance area and small midway being constructed. Sorry for the lack of larger updates, it's just construction has been quite slow recently. But we are hoping that the amount of effort we are putting into each attraction with in the park is paying off and you, our future guests, are pleased. We do ask that you leave any feedback or constructive criticism to help us in future improvements.

FEEDBACK The budget was cut short on terrain changes, this was due to a lot of money spent on themeing for all the attractions here at Gostel. Thanks! Wing riders are hard to construct.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I'm back and this time with only a couple of pictures to give you a quick update! We have now began to construct our 'Fantasy Kingdom' Which is aimed more at the younger audience but still with a few thrills for the older generation! Here are the pictures... What a view! Our new coaster 'Castle Crawler' is sure to be a hit with our guests! Themeing is nothing but the best and you would be surprised this only cost us a mere 3 million out of the 20 for the whole area! A little overview of our new Junior boomerang constructed by Vekoma. Thanks for taking the time to read over this small update! We can't wait for opening season.. Ticket prices and park map to be released soon!

FEEDBACK Thanks for this feedback, I took this into account and rectified all the problems! And I do love myself a good Wing Coaster too ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I bring to you another construction update of Gostel Adventure Park! Exciting news as we present a half completed Alpine Village. Yes there is still so much to be done but I wanted to share some sneaky pics with you.. So here they are! A little sign we knocked up using the wood leftover from the knocked down safety covering that was under Pine Crawler. The queue line fences for Pine Crawler were recently installed. This view has changed a lot since the last update. This is 'Watch Tower' our newly refurbished drop tower we bought cheap from a local fair. Finally an overview of the whole village, As you can see there is much to do! Well as you can see many things have changed in the park and the place is beginning to take shape! All that we have left to do in the village is to install 3 different eateries, a photo shop for Pine Crawler, some restrooms, and a gaming unit. This should be completed within the next week as we aim to get this area of the park completed by the end of February! Just a side note, We are anticipating an opening on the 20th of March but don't hold us to this as things are likely to change. This all depends on construction of the park and whether ride testing will be complete. Thank you for sticking with this park and we hope you look forward to digging your teeth into a thrilling adventure! Please leave any feedback regarding this park (Or anything improvements, or faults that need to be rectified in order to make this park the most realistic possible)

As there were no replies to our competition we named and coloured the coaster ourselves! I present to you.. Pine Crawler, Located in the Alpine Village, will supply you with the sensation of flying through a small acquainted village full of happy inhabitants. The themeing process has begun and the station is being rebuilt as it wasn't originally how I designed it.. (Support work has also begun) I bring to you a small update with some pictures of Pine Crawler.. A small clock tower, to help fit in with the Alpine Village theme. As you can see, the station is being entirely rebuilt.. You can also notice the small area of themeing around the pre-coaster track. (Supports going up) Just a small overview. Another building that forms part of the themeing. Lastly, Queue work is beginning to take place. Thanks for reading this update... please leave your feedback!

FEEDBACK Thanks! I did try it without the decking but I think it looks a lot nicer with it, However I am happy to take on any other advice you may have! I'm trying to make my buildings as realistic as possible but still enough that they fit in with the theme. I'm aiming for a more family thrills angle on this park hence the low speed on the launch coaster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Month On I managed to get back down the park this fine day and witness the amount of construction that's taken place! This park is ever growing as a complex of thrills as our other coaster has now been fully constructed (Apart from supports) The station is complete and several test runs are under way! This coaster is more for the thrill seekers as it has not 1 but 3 inversions. I managed to grab 3 photos from today's visit.. I would like to share them with you.. Our new coaster's station featuring a separate unload and loading zone. This coaster will give breathe taking views for our guests as it plummets 100ft to the ground just meters from the public walkway. Finally an overview of our new coaster. Now for the exciting part of this update, We need a name for our new coaster and this is where you come in! We would like you to suggest any names for this thrilling experience.. Please bear in mind it is set in our 'Alpine Village' area of the park! We are also asking for the colours of the coaster (Rail, Segment bits in middle, Block at bottom), Trains, and the supports! Thanks for reading this update I'll bring you the latest news as I can!

This is an indoor Rotor named Powder Keg. I love how the building turned out! A nice dock to take a break.. With a unique structure providing shade. Here's a ride for the Younger ones or even the teens and adults if they're after a little fun. Looking down the small midway you can see how this coaster launches down the side giving you breathe taking views. Our first installed coaster 'Stallion' launches you 50mph in under 2 seconds and follows a series of twists, turns and airtime hills! Stallions' station and pre-show room before launch! To finish this update an overview of the area giving you an idea of ride and shop placements. Thanks for taking the time to read this update I hope your ready to delve into this adventure! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, I'm back! And this time i've backed up the file so that I don't lose it.. I've got good ideas for this park but one thing I personally love is feedback, So please take the time to leave a comment and let me know what you think and any of your ideas for improvement.

Sorry for not updating this park but I recently had a computer malfunction and had to wipe the whole thing! I managed to find a back up of my CS but the park file is lost /: Although I do have another park in the works which I aim to share with you soon! Sorry again... Regards.. Liam

I love the custom supports on Typhoon, And I'm loving the overall atmosphere in this park! My only criticism would be that I think you have to many cars on Demon's Inferno, Maybe consider shortening it down to 7 per train?

FEEDBACK Thanks! Much appreciated I believe the CTR came from the NETON2 pack.. You can download it online somewhere, it comes with CTR's and CSO, Not sure if it includes any CFR's as I can't remember sorry /: More foliage is to come, The park is no where near finished yet! So much more to do! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUICK UPDATE! (Real Life) I haven't been to the park recently but I aim to have an update sometime within the next 7 days, I've been busy with starting school as I have exams.. I do plan to work on the park more in the evenings and weekends now though! Thanks for your co-operation

FEEDBACK Thanks. I was a bit hasty at first for the position of this coaster but then I thought it would attract big crowds hopefully meaning it will stay longer because it is personally my favourite coaster. Thank you. Its not an inverted.. its a flyer. But I do agree with you! My main aim for this park was interaction and atmosphere in order to give the families a more pleasurable experience. Thanks for the tip I will use this in future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome back to SMOKE Woods! I bring to you another construction update and I can tell you that the builders have been hard at work to make sure this park can open on time for the crowds to roll in! We currently have 6 Rides and Attractions now on site and the rest are still yet to be delivered.. On with my pictures.. Dracien has received it's foliage and is now undergoing several test runs to ensure a safe flight for riders. Dracien's entrance and station. First of the 6 small flat rides to be added to the park. What's that hiding in the trees? Here's our first overview during construction. (Taken from a friends helicopter) I aim to be back at the park some time soon to catch up with construction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
