Season 2, June 10, 1921 Read photos from the bottom up again, please. There must be something wrong with the preview. Weird. It seems as if Tornado Dips is quite lacking in the rider count. Could something be wrong? The Avalon Park logo has finally arrived!!!! It is very simple, but affective! A bird's eye view of the famous Avalon Pillars with new signage. Avalon Park has quickly become a major heartland tourist destination. The zoo is jam packed every week. The Vida Hotel and main office finally got its signs shipped in and a major revamping. This really shows how huge the building really is. A second shot of the revamped Vida Hotel and Main Office. More new signs for Tornado Dips. The park had been so successful opening season, it received a large expansion, including an enlargement of the Vida Hotel, a new out and back coaster, and 2 new thrill rides. A shot of the all-new roller coaster, the enormous Blue Blazer. Two new major thrill rides, the Vibrator Wheel (no innuendo intended) and the Double Eli (named after the Eli Ferris Wheel Company.) The perimeter of the new giant food stand is used as a large exhibit for rare and exotic plants from around the world. The North side of the new building houses many food stands, ensuring no guest will go hungry. More plants in the exhibit. Blue Blazer was designed by the legendary John Allen of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. It is 68 feet tall, 3,100 feet long, and has a top speed of 41 miles per hour. For a wooden coaster, it is smooth as silk, and gained critical acclaim due to its ejector airtime and forceful helix.

Thank you! I have actually been building parks for a few years now, but this is the first major project I've ever posted. I tried to make the office/hotel simple in design, like many large brick buildings of that time. I will be sure to add on to it in coming seasons. Thanks again for the advice.

The reason why I colored Tornado Dips that color is that most woodies in the 20's were painted white, with colored trims. Thank you though. What colors did you have in mind?

"Welcome everyone to the brand-new Avalon Park! Set in the lovely rolling hills of the American heartland, Avalon will bring excitement to the laid-back atmosphere of country life. What began in 1892 as a small picnic grove will become a destination for pure fun in the area. On the banks of the Starkey River, Avalon park will provide great pleasures such as ballroom dancing, music, and mechanical rides. My goal is to provide an escape from the work of farm life and bring fun and happiness to all in the region." Rael Vasquez March 2,1920 This is the first park I have ever posted on the Internet. I hope you all enjoy it. Constructive criticism is encouraged, especially with roller coasters. I have decided to start the park in 1920, as I am a big history buff, especially with amusement parks. I will try my best to have rides and buildings historically correct, so don't expect any steel coasters any time soon. Thank you, and enjoy the park. p.s. Please read the pictures from the bottom-up, I accidentally added the pictures in reverse-order, sorry for the inconvenience. The Zebra enclosure. I find it great how this is a mix between an amusement park and a small zoo. Is that an amusement park I see in the distance? The Giraffe enclosure, a popular attraction. The White Rotor. One of the first thrill rides guests encounter in Avalon Park. This massive brick building is the park's main offices, and partly a hotel. A riverside cafe, with a wooden deck out back for nighttime dancing and weddings over the river. Avalon's first coaster, the Tornado Dips. It is 56 feet tall, 1,800 feet long, and has a top speed of 36 miles per hour. It was designed by the famous Harry Traver. This patriotic parachute tower is humorously named "Red White and Chute". A view of the Tornado Dips station just before riding. This large red building provides many delicious foods, such as milkshakes, hot dogs, and "Avalon Burgers". A few more rides of the park, including the Swift Slide, and the Twister. One of the most famous rides in the park, this is the Wright Flight, a giant airplane-themed circle swing. A birds eye view of Avalon Park.

Any date before Jan. 15, 2010 is fine by me. I apologize if this makes you postpone the other parks you are working on.

Great park as usual, I love the time line idea of parks. I've always loved adding a back story or a history to my own amusement parks. I have a question, how did you get some of the pathways to move diagonally?

Anyone else planning to do a park? I bumped the deadline to January due to complaints..sorry!

Wow, this looks brilliant! I like the way you built the stations, and added Mayan statues. This is a very original park!

Yes, that is exactly what I meant.

The park can be any size you want. (I would recommend medium to large) I don't like giving too many limitations, so people can use their imagination. I forgot to mention in the first post that you need to have a minimum of 4 coasters, with at least 1 large coaster (over 80 feet tall, over 2,000 feet long) . There also needs to be some sort of food court, or restaurant area, like most large parks have. I apologize for the unreasonable original deadline of July 12. I guess I got carried away.

Sure, you can use any of the RCT series. I am very excited to see how people theme and name their rides.

Alright everyone... I challenge you all to build a single continent-themed Busch Gardens park. Continent options are North America, South America, Australia, and Asia! Theming must be done well, and rides/coasters must be realistic. There must also be a description of the park. I will chose the top 5. This is purely for your own entertainment, just bragging rights. The deadline is January 15, 2010. Any previously built Busch Gardens park can be entered. Good Luck! P.S. please include updates if you can..
