John's Coaster Blog: Hi my name is John Cweikel and I am a coaster enthusiast. Recently a park just opened down the road from me. The name of the park is Catskill's Dam. From their website it looked like a small park so I decided to stop in after work one day. Boy Am I in love with this park, I have never seen a park with such nice employees. That is a really good compliment because I have been to over 50 parks in the US. The park has a special feel to it. Everything was extremely clean and it had extremely nice landscaping. you could tell that whoever was in charge of this park really cared about the little things. It was kind of lacking in the way of RIdes. I mean it only had three small flat rides. I am looking foward to making another visit soon. A strange thing I noticed was a bunch of construction eqiupment behind Jumper. Here I'll let you be the judge, I took a couple pictures. Whatever is happening it looks like it is pretty involved. It looks like whatever it is it will require quite a bit of electricity judging by the amount of wiring. Could this be the park's first coaster? I can't wait to find out . The park is holding a news conference a month from now. Maybe that means they will announce what all this is about.

Authors Note: This Is my First CS RCT3 park. I have tried really hard to make this look realistic as possible I have had this park on my computer for sometime now and I just recently started working on it again. I finally think it is good enough to share. The first thing you will notice is that the fountain in the entrance is floating. That is because I actually made the entrance in another park and I can't seem to fix it. Second I'm really horrible at making buildings so don't bash them. Other than those two I really want some constructive criticism. I want to apologize about the quality of the pictures. For some reason I can't screenshot on my computer so I have to get out of full screen mode and then screenshot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Catskill's Dam, The newest amusement park in Upstate New York. Hello I am John Tomson I am the General manger at this fine park. From now on I will be updating you on the park posting many Trip Reports, News and even be bringing you the new Rides before the GP. A little about me is a used to work at the smallest six flags in the chain, The Great Escape. I was the operations manager. The owners of this park contacted me about moving into the general management role and I agreed. Thats enough about me lets get to the park. My favorite part of this entire park is the entrance. It is small but it does the job for what we need it to do. Here is a overview of the entire entrance plaza. Enough with the entrance plaza lets get to the rides. This is our first ride called American Flyers Unfortently this ride is a portable ride. That is why there is a wall around the base. On the bright side the park can move it at will to accommodate future additions. Our next ride is my favorite it is called Jumper. That building in the back is what we call the Dj's booth. This ride is top of the line in technology. From that booth the Ride Op can open the gates to let people on the ride. He can close the restraints and check them right from the booth without even leaving. Also from the booth the Ride op can control the world class audio system on the ride. As the ride starts The song "Jump Around" from House of Pain begins to play. Boy that must get annoying for the Ride ops. Last but not least is Golden Zephyer If you were wondering where all the Food and Drinks are, here they are. Everything is in here everything from T-shirts to Food and Beverages. Also the buidling has a large bathroom to accommodate the entire park

Please keep it going I love this park. Everything looks great! The story line is amazing. I'm really looking forward to see what the future holds

I like the layout of the new coaster but it is huge. Way to big. The park is only in it's second season there is no way that is possible.

It's coming along Pretty good. Not using CS is definitely taking away from the buildings.

Money is money. TGE Lodge makes money in the off season. Why would you shut it down for the season when Six Flags could make money? Not to mention not every one who stays at the lodge goes to the park anyways. Some people just go for the indoor water park. I would even say recently The Lodge has become more of a draw than the park. Some people go out on the lake for the day come back and use the Indoor water park and don't even visit the park due to lack of new thrill rides. At least for my area which is about a hour away.

This is a really cool thread. I love the whole story line but it kinda defeats the purpose of the game to not have any amusement park rides and such

I love how you took the time to develop the surrounding area of the park. It makes it much more realistic

Yeah I agree This is a great park. I wish I could make a park like this
