@Sackninja - I think the park is relatively themed, and most of the stuff you said about the go-karts isn't exactly necessary. I've never seen any park make you put on helmets when riding the go-kart track, nor have I ever seen a run-off lane for crashing. @vekoma_fan - You can get the SLC at Realtycoon3.com. Go to the downloads page (There are many other CT's there, too) and find the SLC by "Cinipaes", who made the CT I'm currently using. @Koasterking48 - I'll work on it. @Everyone Complaining About Foliage - I've been slowly adding more and more foliage, but I'm trying to keep my FPS up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello again, everyone! I, Jared Hensley, am proud to be opening Americana Adventureland's new coaster for the park's 5th anniversary, Boomerang! The ride stands 116ft tall and reaches 47 mph! It is the park's first shuttle coaster, which means the ride goes through the course forwards AND backwards! This means the ride's 3 inversions (points when the track goes upside-down) are traversed twice! And that means you go upside-down a total of 6 TIMES, the most in the entire park! It's 935ft of track is located near the back of Americana Adventureland, with other fan favorites such as Jet Scream, Panic Plunge, and Frisbee! Boomerang was manufactured by Vekoma of the Netherlands, and is the 5th coaster in Americana Adventureland's exciting ride line-up! Here are some pictures of a few hours before the ride opened: The ride sure is stunning with it's yellow and red color scheme. Another beautiful view! The ride has a nicely done queue surrounded on 2 sides by roses! The ride has a evacuation platform incase of valleys. The ride has a very pretty wooden station! We think the ride will be successful, because when I rode it, the ride was smooth and forceful! In the meantime, Americana Adventureland and Six Flags are working together to work on Fright Fest, a Halloween event! We have decided on three mazes: Vampire Mansion - This creepy walk through is were you get chased around by a family of Vampires! Zombie Camp - Watch out, don't become their next victim! When you stumble upon this abandoned, zombie infested camp, you have to run from the devilish monsters! Happy Mountain Haunt - Behind the joy-themed kid's coaster, crazy clans of ghoulish monsters will catch you if you don't escape their clutches! The staff here at Americana Adventureland are very excited for this event, and so am I! That's all we have for now, see you in the next update! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The question is, are YOU excited for Fright Fest? I'm excited to see how I can implement this attraction!

When I went, all the operations were amazing!.... Except SpinCycle, 5 minute load and unload times... Aftershock was like that opening year, but over the years the crews have just gotten faster and faster. I hope that happens with SpinCycle too!

^I forgot to take pictures of the ride when I went, but it was a great attraction! You feel a little force when the ride is in full swing and seeing the park upside-down is beautiful! It's a very fun ride, and has a nice long cycle.

^I would like to use a woodie, but I will wait till someone finds a nice NL track to turn into a CT over at RealTycoon3. In the meantime I will only be using steel CT's. Besides, if you look close at the actual plot, you realize it is too small for a good wooden coaster. So ruling out a woodie for a few seasons until a CT is made, sorry EDIT: I have all the Fright Fest mazes planned out from 2000-2004 already

Thanks for the replies! I added more foliage to the back of the park (Not too much, though) and modified Viking Voyage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey everyone, Jared Hensley again. This fine October has been a great month for the park! Just take a look at the pictures: Riders enjoying Terror Twister! Being flipped upside-down while standing up is a joy! Here is Parachute Drop! Frisbee doing it's thing! Viking Voyage got modified after some slight flooding. It's drop has been lengthened further down so the water level is lower, too. It has a second lift at the end of the splashdown, as seen in this picture. With the larger drop there is a bigger wave! What's this? Land Clearing? Must be a new ride for the park's 5th anniversary ;D Six Flags and myself have already decided on the new ride. What do you think it will be? Also, Six Flags has talked with me about adding a Halloween event to the park, called "Fright Fest"! It will come into effect next year! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ What do you think the new ride will be? That plot of land is pretty big!

Dude that is so awesome! It's realistic even without the use of CT's and has so much themeing! I love it!

I've been working on this park for a few days now, and I'd like to show off this timeline park. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello, one and all! I am Jared Hensley, and I'm here to show you the theme park I operate! This park, called Americana Adventureland, is my pride and joy, and is based about halfway between Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska! This park originally opened in March 1995, with 15 rides (including 3 roller coasters!). Currently we are here in 1999, and have come 4 profitable years and 5 ride additions since opening. Recently in 1998, I sold the park to Six Flags, which is how I went from owner to manager. Though Six Flags did not completely rebrand the park, we are now allowed to use all the themes and characters from DC and Warner Bros, ranging from Superman to Bugs Bunny! I'd now like to show you some pictures. Here is the entrance. Very nice looking, isn't it? Here is a picture of the fountains, gates, and the entrance from inside the park. Here is a shot down the midway, which has many buildings and rides! Here is a aerial picture of some of the buildings. Our first installed attraction, the Flying Carousel, is the first ride on the midway. This is the Octopus ride, a family favorite! Tilt-A-Whirl, a classic! This is Paratrooper, a fun family ride. Here is Terror Twister, our first installed coaster! It is the very first Vekoma SLC 689m, and is the only one remaining with 8 car trains. It flies along through 5 inversions at speeds up to 55 mph! Here is the end of the midway, with two nice buildings. Here is the Hensley Restaurant (The staff so kindly named it after me). It is the park's largest restaurant! The Hensley Restaurant is very popular! Here is the path leading to the further-out section of the park, in between Terror Twister and Vortex (We'll get to that soon enough). This is Double Shot, one of S&S's first tower rides! Here is Orbit, a Shwarzkopf Enterprise! Buccaneer, a swinging ship. In park McDonald's! The Grand Ferris Wheel is giant! Here is the Tea Cups and the back half of Vortex. Vortex is the park's B&M standing coaster. It is a clone of Iron Wolf at Six Flags Great America, but has updated trains and other mechanics. Here are the Go-Karts, new for 1997. This fun, free go kart track has a cycle of 10 laps! The Go-Karts have a nice, custom made station. This is the entrance to Viking Voyage, a splash boat ride! It opened in 1997. Here is an overview of Viking Voyage. This ride has a nice custom structure! Here are DragonWing and Frightful Ferry, 2 family flat rides. Here is the park's kid coaster, Happy Mountain. It is a wacky worm style coaster. Across from this is Parachute Drop. Here is Frisbee, new for this year (1999). We got it from the German fair circuit, scenery and all! A front view of Frisbee. This is Plummit Summit, the park's Intamin drop tower! New for 1998. Here is the entire tower! It is more than 200ft tall! Here is Jet Scream, new for 1998! We received the ride from Six Flags St. Louis when Six Flags bought us. Here is more of Jet Scream, including the station. Here is the overview of the entrance. That's it for pictures! You may have noticed, all the queues in the park are split in two. That is because of a cut-the-line system I developed! For $25, you can skip the lines for any of the park's 20 rides and attractions! When Six Flags bought us and saw this system, they have thought about including it into many of their parks! Myself and Six Flags have officially decided a name for the system, "Flash Pass". Thank for your time, and I can't wait to see you in the next update! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feedback appreciated!

^Though it was their second design as TGG, the designers still had a ton of experience from their work as CCI. Holiday World probably would not have had them build such a big ride if they were a completely new company...

Anyone else think the ride might look ugly with this treatment? I mean, one side with wood track and the other steel with crazy twists and drops. If I had the decision I would redo both sides, all-or-nothing kind of deal. Not to mention that all the current Iron-Horse rides have 24 passenger trains and Eagle has 30 passenger trains, which means this could affect capacity :/ Another thought, maybe they are closing the blue side to get everything started and have the red side run backwards, and when that ends they will close the red side and go into a full RMC treatment, which would be awesome! Kind of expensive, though...

I love both, which is why Sidewinder at Elitches is amazing (I prefer front car for backwards extreme airtime). Boomerang and Mind Eraser in the back both have very nice positives.

^Oh, dear. I guess all we can do now is hope for a true, honest-to-goodness, full-on retrack and adjustments. Too bad this is Mt. Olympus we are talking about

You mean the majority of enthusiasts, right? The GP don't care as much, only enthusiasts seem to do any noticeable complaining :/

SFGAm's Deja Vu went to Silverwood, where it happily and correctly operates. That means SFGAm would have to get a new G.I.B., which I doubt severely.

Are you going to switch to Cinipaes' Boomerang CT and give it Twister a 7 car train??

Zamperla - Tiny Toot (Silverwood) (First Coaster) CCI - Timber Terror (Silverwood) TGG - Hades (Mt. Olympus) (Original) Shwarzkopf - Whizzer (SFGAm) Arrow - Corkscrew (Silverwood) B&M - S:UF (SFGAm) Intamin - American Eagle (SFGAm) Mack - TDK (SFGAm) Vekoma - Aftershock (Silverwood) S.D.C. - Galaxi (Cliff's) Pinfari - El Bandito (Western Playland) Zierer - Catwoman's Whip (SFNE) William Cobb - Cyclone (SFNE) Harry Traver - Thunderbolt (SFNE) Maurer Sohne - Gotham City Gauntlet (SFNE) Gerstlauer - Pandemonium (SFNE)

I've only been on 2 launched coasters, V2 (SFGAm) and Sidewinder (Elitches). V2 was my first launch coaster and I thought it was terrifying, though I was younger then. Really fun ride! Sidewinder feels less like launching, and more like being pushed faster and faster towards the edge of a cliff Especially going backwards when you can't see the drop! It is really terrifying the first time, and just awesome for the next rides on.. The ejector drops and forceful loop have pushed Sidewinder pretty high on my list!

I missing a bunch of object files from "Premier Amusement Park v3", of which I downloaded on NE. If anyone has the park, can check the "export all files" box in options and send me the park via PM or email?

I'm pretty sure Typhoon is a Eurofighter, not a spinning coaster.

I second this

Ride Zeus at Mt. Olympus back car and you will know bone shatteringly painful.

^Thanks. A shorter line for my favorite rough rides helps I haven't ever gotten a headache on a ride though, probably why I always enjoy everything at amusement parks.

Ignore this, sorry.

^I know how expensive the printers and their materials are, but most parks can afford it. You have no idea how great of an idea that could be. It still baffles me how SFGAm ops can double stack a ride that only has seatbelts. When it comes to the topic of this thread, I've only witnessed 2 rides down while I was at a park. First, Aftershock @ Silverwood was closed the day I went to the park (in 2009) for scheduled maintenance. This year on my trip to Silverwood, Spincycle broke down while I was riding. The ops fixed the ride quickly.

I think the Bat will be the first major coaster after Banshee, and KI is just messing with us saying it's for 2014.

Haven't ridden the new kiddie cred at Elitches.
