Posting some further improvements, I would like everyone to still know that i am still looking for names for both rides. ^ I hope this works better, still a lot to finish. ^ In the place of the other flume is this small woodie. Its supposed to be an older coaster from another park moved here to be used as a kiddie ride. Again, still a lot to work on

I totally see what you mean. I hurried it, and it really didn't fit in that area. I am going to re-design it and move it elsewhere.

This is not an official update, I felt kinda bad that I hadn't posted any work recently. That being said, I haven't worked as much on the park in a while. ^ This is my first attempt at trying to terracolor/terraform better. I think it turned out okay, but I just wanted other peoples opinion. ^ Same plot of land with some trees. I tried to add more variation in the trees and also space them out better. ^ New log flume attraction i designed, i wanted to know it the layout is okay, and also ask for name suggestions. I would additionally like to thank every one who views and comments for showing interest in this project.

Looks amazing so far A.J. keep up the good work!

^ Just did that, Thanks for reminding me to do it. I dont know when the next update will be I am trying to refine my methods of themeing for this new ride. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Excerpt from Caldwell Herald August 28, 1966 Information From Press Release By: John Browning We now know some more about the developers behind Open Orchards. They are called Front Line Entertainment. They only gave us the bear bones of what is occurring, giving us a possible opening date in July of 1967. There was also the mentioning of another ride, and they released a logo for it. Other than that there is no news to report.

^^ This app looks really interesting. I would like to try to help you out, but I don't have enough money in my account for the app right now ( I only have 83 cents). Hopefully I'll get it on black Friday

Looking great so far! Can't wait for more.

^ & ^^^ I think i will make the forest less dense and add more tree variation, thanks for your suggestions! ^^ If you could give me a the links to the rock sets i would be glad to improve the landscape. I am a novice, i'm better at coaster designing, so any advice/ help will be much appreciated.

Got things working again, took longer than i wanted but it allowed me to fix a few things, including building a sizable parking lot. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Excerpt from the Caldwell Herald August 12, 1966 Woodie Finally Completed By: John Browning The layout for BarnStormer at Open Orchards has been finished since Tuesday. It began testing yesterday, and so far has ran perfectly. After some research, we have also found that BarnStormer will be the tallest roller coaster in the world, by 5 feet. Local trees have been brought over from the surrounding area and have been re-planted around the coaster with surprising speed. The developers have also released a P.O.V. (point of view) picture and a picture that shows the entire layout. There also has been the addition of a 'Rotor" ride, and a classic Carousel. Work has also began on the entrance plaza. Another additional detail that may be otherwise overlooked is the planting of apple trees in various places of the park, an homage to the orchard.

Hey everyone, i have some bad news. I am having trouble with placing rides, whenever i try to place them, they always hover above the ground and cannot be placed down any farther. This seems to be due to the terrain, which can't be flattened, i tried for a while. If anyone has a solution please tell me, but if not, I will try building in a different scenario editor and see if it works.

I agree with you about the main entrance and I will fix it, i just notice how awkward it looks. I'm not 100% seeing as this info is from wikipedia, but a coaster was built in 1925 that broke 100 feet, so i just assumed that there would be several at the same height in 1966. I'm glad that you brought it up, I should put a little bit more effort into my research than just assumptions

^ Thanks! ^^ I hope that will be the case, all the other parks i have created (I never posted any) started out with a good idea, but kinda teetered out early in the building stages. ^^^ Thank you! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Excerpt from Caldwell Herald June 28, 1966 Lift Hill Completed This large hill now looms over the rest of the development. At 105 feet tall, it towers over even the tallest building in town! This segment of the roller coaster, for those of you who don't know, is called a lift hill. It uses a chain to pull the roller coaster up the lift and over the hill. Also, the developers have managed to pave a parking lot and build the main entrance. The "Open Orchards" developers hope to hold a press conference soon, but still do not have an official date in mind.

^ When I thought of it i thought it was pretty cool too. ^^ Thanks, I really appreciate the positive feedback ^^^ I really like the work you have done recently on RCT2! I hope that i will keep this park entertaining and interesting. I plan to post updates often, as long as it doesn't affect the overall quality of the park.

^ Thanks! I hope this is able to go far. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Excerpt from Caldwell Herald June 14,1966 Name Released for New Roller Coaster By: John Browning After little more than a week, more information has been released by the company behind "Open Orchards" about the new roller coaster. It is to be called 'BarnStormer', and is a homage to the old barn that used to take up the new ride's space. The Station is themed to the old barn. A view of a completed portion of the ride from the passing road. There is still a large amount of work left to do on the actual ride itself, but with all work seemingly going towards it, it should be completed soon. There is no news yet on when there will be a press release for the new park, or an official opening date. With only a fraction of a roller coaster built and nothing else, it doesn't appear that an opening will be in the near future. When more news breaks on this development, us here at the herald will bring it to you.

Excerpt from Caldwell Herald June 4, 1966 Mysterious Activity at Local Apple Orchard By: John Browning Since last November, when the old Brooks Apple Orchard shut down and the family left town, the tract of land that the Orchard had occupied stood vacant. The Orchard, which had been run by the the Brooks family in town for generations, was closed after this past season due to the owner, Davy Brooks, being diagnosed with throat cancer. Many folks in town tried to step up and purchase the land, but all advances never quite got anywhere. That is, until quite recently an unknown company bought up the land. The company wasted no time in relocating the old barn and house into the Interior of Caldwell, then bulldozing the remnants of the old orchard (including the general store and the apple trees). A large amount of the dumpsters filled with waste had already left earlier that day. Rumors have spread as to what will be put there, ranging from a GM manufacturing plant, to a large mansion. However, today you can go down and decide for yourself as it is obvious that crews are working on something big. This appears to be the beginning of a wooden roller coaster, of which has never been seen in this area of Michigan. Not to further progress rumors, but this writer thinks it may not be coincidence that this development has occurred around the same time as the development down in Orlando Florida. Locals in town have stated their wishes for it to be Disney, but no one (besides the developers themselves) will know who is running the operation. A spokesperson for the company has stated that the project will be called "Open Orchards Amusement Park" in homage to the late Orchard that sat on that land. No other details have been released at this point in time, but I, and every reporter for the herald will keep our eyes open for more news on the "Open Orchards" development.

If the park can make the hotel up to par with any of those three Disney hotels, that would be awesome. I just think its odd that they decided to go with the New England theme for the hotel, seeing as it is Europa Park.

For my first ever TR i decided to use the pictures I took of Europa Park. While in Europe I managed to get to 4 parks (Thorpe Park, Disney Studios Paris, Disneyland Paris, and Europa Park). The pictures only come from Europa Park because of a problem I have been having with my camera. The pictures found in this report are of poor quality due to them being taken on an iphone. The day I had at Europa park was probably the best you could ask for at a large park. It was cool all day and for the most part overcast. The threat of possible rainfall kept the crowds down all day. The longest wait I had was about 40 minutes for Silver Star. The rides were also fantastic... especially Blue Fire. While the other coasters were great Blue Fire far out shined the rest, making the park more complete although it needs another big attraction to really round out the lineup. Hopefully the new woodie will accomplish this. Never mind the bollocks, here's the TR... The main entrance to the best park in the world (in my opinion). First credit of the day was Eurosat. German translation: "Drop your pants and prepare to be probed" Silver Star ran great when I was there. I think that people may underrate it, but that's just my opinion. For the nerds. Poseidon was next. Going down! Double lifthill shot! well... sorta. The good side of a horse. Outward into the void. Matterhorn Blitz ahead! At Matterhorn Blitz I said hello to a couple of close relatives... The pig And the cow The ride is nicely themed for a wild mouse... and the elevator lift was also quite interesting. The Log Flumes' station. At Alpenexpress, Ötzi was having a bad day. Blue Fire... the best coaster at the park by far. Failed station shot. Atlantica Supersplash had superb theming. Big splash. Precursor to Hitler or an explorer? You decide! For the nerds (part deux). This has probably already been posted, but here is the model of the new resort that is coming, modeled after the New England coast: Euro-Mir is as good as everyone says. The part in the main silo is especially great. My favorite picture... Me taking a picture of Euro-Mir. Food-Loop was fantastic as well. They even had my "throne" in the bathroom in England! Schiweizer Bobban was the last credit. Short, but fun ride. The Ibex approves of the ride. On my way out I said goodbye to EuroMaus. All in all, Europa Park has to be the best park I have ever been too. In terms of thrills Europa Park is far better than any Disney park, and is right up there with theming as well. I hope that everyone enjoys this TR.
