^Thanks. Here's update #3! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here are some pictures from late 1985, and the 1986 new ride announcement! Shot0107.bmp Obligatory photo! Shot0106.bmp Isn't this nice? Shot0108.bmp Must be a slow day. Shot0109.bmp Americups area. Shot0110.bmp Hey it's Happy Mountain! Shot0111.bmp Little Dipper is also having a slow day... Shot0112.bmp Pretty picture. Shot0113.bmp Another go on Looping Star! Shot0114.bmp 2 nice flats that are semi-popular. Shot0115.bmp Americups through the trees. Shot0116.bmp Time to go once again! As for the announcement, our new ride for 1986 is.... FREEFALL!! This is the ride concept. It is 130 ft tall, making Looping Star, the park's current tallest ride, only 2/3 the height of Freefall. The ride will plummet about 100 ft with 60 ft of that being completely vertical. It will reach speeds of up to 55 mph, making it the park's fastest ride. Freefall will open on the park's opening day in March 1986. Freefall logo! We here at Fresno Vista are very excited for our first super thrilling addition, and we think you all will love it! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since I love the freefall CFR, I just had to use it on this park. Feedback appreciated!

^I thought SFGAm's Batman was butter smooth and awesome every time I rode it. -

Update 2! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello again, Berik here. It's been a while since I updated you, because it is now the beginning of our 2nd season! This update is primarily to show you our first addition, Americups! It is a tea cups ride with a carnival-tent style roof. The park is very excited for Americups, as it is our 8th ride. Here are some pictures: Shot0105.bmp The locals are happily familiarizing themselves with this view. Shot0106.bmp Can't resist this shot! Shot0107.bmp Such a pretty park. What's that in the background? Shot0108.bmp Americups! Shot0109.bmp It is a fantastic family flat ride. Shot0110.bmp It wasn't too expensive either, which is a plus for the park. Shot0111.bmp Lots of people enjoying the new hotness. Shot0112.bmp We added this over by Little Dipper since that area had an empty spot. Shot0113.bmp FVAP is very beautiful. Shot0114.bmp Happy Mountain! Shot0115.bmp Relaxing area. Shot0116.bmp Time to leave once again! See you all next update. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I think Americups fits in very well. What about you all?

That dive loop under the banana-roll thing looks insanely intense! -

MiA has Thunderhawk, even though it's an SLC. -
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Very appreciated. Here with my first update. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I just realized that last time I forgot to introduce myself! How rude of me. My name is Berik Mikingston. Anyways, I have some more pictures to show you! Shot0105.bmp Welcome back! Shot0106.bmp We recently won an award for being one of the most beautiful parks in the country. You can see why. Shot0107.bmp As you can see here, we updated the paths so people would stop tripping over our green path-edges when entering and leaving rides & shops. Shot0108.bmp Cool fact about Little Dipper: You get sent around twice! Shot0109.bmp Now for some pretty pictures. Shot0110.bmp Shot0111.bmp Shot0112.bmp Shot0113.bmp Shot0114.bmp Time to leave once again. Hope you enjoyed the update! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I might not update for a little while because this week is finals. Again, feedback appreciated!

The Great Escape (TGE) Discussion Thread
IronWolfman replied to Red Benny's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Are you serious about these operations? On a average day at Elitches this summer, they had their Boomerang loaded by the time the catch car engaged the train, or at longest about 15 seconds afterwards. -
Hey guys! Been a while since I've done any park stuff on RCT3 ever since my scenic abilities increased to the point where it'd be too hard to renovate Americana Adventureland. So, I've started a new park called Fresno Vista Amusement Park. This park is based in Fresno, California in 1984. I've worked about 2 weeks to get to my current point, but that's only because the rate I'm going at is slow due to finals. Here is the first report that will (again) be from the park owner's perspective. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello, people! I'm here to show you the theme park I own that opened just this year, called Fresno Vista Amusement Park. We have 7 rides so far, including 3 roller coasters. We also have 2 restaurants, the Orchard House and the Vista Cafe. Don't worry we will expand! Here are some pictures: Shot0105.bmp Welcome! Shot0106.bmp As you walk up to the gate, you see this pretty view. Shot0107.bmp Here is the right ticket building. (Editor's note: The signs will be changed to "Tickets") Shot0108.bmp Here is the left. Shot0109.bmp This is the turnstile building. Shot0110.bmp A shot down our fairly short but effective midway. Shot0111.bmp Here is the Orchard House, containing various food options. Shot0112.bmp A shot looking towards the entrance. Shot0113.bmp We liked the idea of centering Looping Star's loop with the midway and the fountain. Shot0114.bmp Here is Looping Star, our main attraction. It is 80 feet tall, reaches 48 mph, and has almost 2000 feet of track! Very intense. Shot0115.bmp The entrance for Looping Star. Shot0116.bmp The ride has a switchback in the middle of the coaster, providing nice views. Shot0117.bmp The backside of Looping Star's station, looking at a nice planter. Shot0118.bmp Isn't it pretty? Shot0119.bmp What's that through the trees? Shot0120.bmp The park's Carousel! Shot0121.bmp Nice little area. Shot0122.bmp Astro Wheel! Shot0123.bmp No line! Score! Shot0124.bmp Octopus flat ride. Shot0125.bmp Little Dipper is the park's wooden coaster. Shot0126.bmp Here is the nice little line. Shot0127.bmp Engaging the lift hill! Shot0128.bmp Overview of Little Dipper. Shot0129.bmp Backside. Shot0130.bmp Another angle. Shot0133.bmp Happy Mountain is the park's kiddie coaster. Shot0134.bmp It's one of the first of it's kind. Shot0135.bmp Pretty picture. Shot0136.bmp The last ride we have is Fighter Planes, next to the Vista Cafe. Shot0138.bmp Fighter Planes through Looping Star. Shot0139.bmp Vista Cafe! Shot0140.bmp Not much in this area, yet! Shot0141.bmp Looks like it's time to leave. Se you all next update! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thoughts? Anything needing improvements?

^I agree with this a lot. Especially the wing coaster part. This also pretty much sums up my opinion. Another quirk could be Iron Wolf/Apocalypse's flat section just before the second half. It gives you breather from the first half's intensity then quickly throws you into the corkscrew's twisty-ness.

Wow the ride looks great! The cars look even better and it's cool that they light up. The mountain looks nice too, and I agree that you can't even tell Rim Runner was there. -
The Official TPR Video Thread!
IronWolfman replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Very interesting. Surprised at how much it blatantly ripped of Matterhorn, but from what I heard Nara Dreamland was trying to be Japanese Disneyland in the same way Nagashima Spa Land tries to be Japanese Cedar Point. Aska truly didn't belong in a place like that, but oh well. -
Where Are You Planning To Go In 2014?

Definitely: Elitches. Silverwood. Likely: Lakeside. -
Russia to build Vekoma GIB in Sochi
IronWolfman replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^No, the new G.I.B.s have apparently been much more reliable than the original Six Flags trio. Aftershock has been very reliable as well, since it went under a rehab from Vekoma between being at SFGAm and Silverwood. Also the fact that Silverwood seems to know how to run it. -
