April 1975
One month until the grand opening. This update will be the final construction tour. Everything is almost finished.
We are here in Nashville Street. They have just installed the lights, added benches, trash cans, and fencing. Also, they planted flowers and bushes throughout the park. Here is a series of photos I took today throughout the park.
We painted the rust effect on Sasquatch’s station to make it look more abandoned.
We painted the road markings on the small path to the plaza.
Here is a little area, where guests can relax.
Tennessee shaped flower
I decided to stay at the park later than usual to see what the park looks like at night.
On Sasquatch, we installed the lights only on the lift, so the rest of the ride is in almost complete darkness.
What we did for the lights on Dixie, we only shine it on the most stand out parts of the ride.
That is it for the photos. This was the last construction update. The next update will be the park’s grand opening.

January 1975
Welcome to the new year. Today’s update will be shorter than usual because we will only be focusing on two areas. We’re doing some final touches to the park. To kick things off is that we built a sign to greet our guests when they enter the park.
In the front entrance of the park, the very left side will be serving as the exit.
Here are some pictures of Nashville Street along with the new restroom in the area.
We added the fencing to the entire Old Tennessee Area and implanted few trees. I will end this short update with a few photoshoots.
(I have decided to redesign the general store to make it more like real country store)
(Good news is that after this post, there is two more construction updates then the grand opening of the park. Hope you enjoy this update and see you next time).

November 1974
It’s been forever since I visited the site of this park. There’s a lot of things are different than when we last left off. Let us take a tour on the progress of this park.
In the area we now called, Nashville Street. We built a small pier for guests to view the lake and the Ferris Wheel.
Now, the main topic of this update is the newest area of the park called Town Square. We start off this tour with a diner along with a new asphalt pathway that will be decorated with road markings.
Here’s the main plaza of this area along with the theater in front of it. You will also get the view of the coaster which we will talk more about later.
This is Flying Eagles. It’s a flying scooter model. You will enjoy the view of the little pond while you’re flying. Here’s a few shots of the ride including the queue.
Here’s a little sneak peek at the backstage of the theater along with the employee’s break room.
Here’s a couple of shots of the buildings in this area.
We recently built a carousel.
Now for the main attraction of this area. It is a steel looping roller coaster called Dixie. When this coaster opens, it will be the world’s first ever four inversion coaster. The three inversions will consist of double loop and double corkscrew. We will end this update with shots of this coaster.
(Sorry for the long, long wait. But I am glad that I finally got this update up. Since all of the major stuff is done for the park, hopefully the upload schedule will be at a faster and smoother pace from here. See you guys later and see you in the next update).

July 1974 Sequel
Hello. I am about to take you on the exclusive tour of Sasquatch. The world’s tallest and fastest coaster when it opens in 1975. Let us begin with our entrance shed.
This shed is where the guards used to be guarding the area where the facility is.
We have now entered the restriced area
Here’s the building where the scientists sleep and tracking the possible sasquatch down.
Here’s the footprints where the family of campers discovered the roar of sasquatch. Here’s the rest of the pictures for the queue area.
We’re still decorating the interior of the station, but here’s a preview.
Here’s the view that you will see when you get off this ride.
Here’s the final few pictures of Sasquatch. See you next time.

UPDATE
My friend and I has decided on what day were doing the trip. It's gonna be from Friday, October 18th - Sunday, October 20th. We are thinking about staying at the Hampton Inn near the park. Also, we have decided to get on the plane for this trip. This is gonna be my first time riding on the plane. I'm going to need your airport advice's. For this trip, we have decided to just focus on the park. I'm going to need park advice as well. Thank you.

Authors Update 1
Hello everyone. It's been a while since the last update. There will be more coming soon but here's a few things I like to address.
I've been planning things and mostly working on a brand new area that you will see in the next update. I will have the picture preview and the logo below to see what's to come. Second reason is that recently my game itself has suffered a major slowdown due to my RAM almost being full, so I ordered the 16 GB RAM. It should come next week. Finally, for the release date of my next update could be either Late September or Early October.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a good day and I will see you for the next update.

Where would you be driving from?
We would be driving from Hague, Virginia.
Well let's start with some qualifying questions...Where are you traveling from? What are the dates you are targeting or how long do you plan to be in the area? Have you been to or are you interested in experiencing any of the Orlando parks while you're in Central Florida?
Tampa has Busch Gardens and Adventure Island going for it along with Hard Rock Casino if that's your kind of thing. St. Petersburg has lots of artsier options like the Dali Museum and the Chihuly Collection. If you're willing to venture outside of Tampa area, you have access to the rest of the Central Florida attractions including Disney (four parks, two water parks, Disney Springs), Universal (two parks, a water park and CityWalk), SeaWorld (one park, one water park and an all-inclusive style experience park that is unique), Fun Spot (not my top recommendation but the coasters at each location are solid enough that it may be worth a try), International Drive and a ton more... Your horizons will definitely be broadened if you go beyond Tampa.
Even further, you could visit Kennedy Space Center in only a 2.5 hour drive, which seeing the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit is worth the drive alone.
If you were to stick to Tampa, then I recommend considering one of Busch Gardens' animal tours... The Serengeti Safari is something I highly recommend!
Depending on the time you're planning to be in town, Howl-O-Scream could be taking place at Busch Gardens, but again if you're willing to step out of Tampa, there's Halloween Horror Nights, the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party just a short drive away!
Traveling from Hague, Virginia. We will be planning on staying from Thursday - Sunday. I have been to Orlando before.

That's a loaded question. What are you looking to do ? Beaches, dining, nightlife ? We live in St Pete and can answer a lot of those questions.
Were planing on mainly going to Busch Gardens and the beach. Do you have any other places you could recommend?
-
Hello everybody. My friend and I has decided to go to Tampa Bay, Florida sometime in September. We mainly are going to Busch Gardens Tampa and other places. We need some advice's for our trip. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Which one is the better option, flying on the plane or driving?

July 1974
It’s been months since the last time I visited this site and a lot has changed from a few months ago. Apparently, the construction on this park is finishing faster than scheduled. The first change I noticed is the rest of the fences near the lake has been added.
The buildings on the plaza is already completed the exterior work, they are working on the interior right now, but I will not show you the inside today.
More pictures of the buildings in the plaza.
I have plans to install a ride or two somewhere in either of those two areas.
Here’s the view of the bridge and the main icon of the park. The Ferris Wheel.
Welcome to the new area of the park. The church will be the main weenie of the area. On the side note, there will be a lot more trees implanted after the construction is done. Let’s take a tour of the new area.
The general store and the flat ride of this area.
One of the facades for the area.
Here’s a restaurant that if Golden Corral had a baby with Crackle Barrel.
Here’s the main attraction of the area known as Sasquatch. It is the tallest and fastest coaster in the world by the time it opens to the public. Here’s a couple of more pictures of Sasquatch to end off this update.

January 1974
I have decided to visit the site today and were already making good progress on the entrance area. They will start working in other areas soon.
Here’s a little pond that the guests will see when they first walk into the park. They haven’t installed the fountain yet.
This is the guest relations building. The signages will be added very soon.
Here’s the building where guest can buy tickets and they already installed the switchback. Hopefully, it will manage large crowds.
I will end it off with the building where the guests can enter the park and the path that will lead to the plaza area.

I just had this idea a few days ago... I think you read my mind lol
Anyway, this looks promising! If I decide to get off my lazy butt and make my own story park and place it in Nashville, would you mind?
Thank you. I really don't mind it at all.

August 1973
Hello. My name is Charlie Acree. I have been a businessman for years now. Recently, I have gotten interested in the amusement park industry after being influenced by the success of Disneyland. I was thinking “Hey, a certain city in Tennessee needs a successful amusement park”. It took me months and months, but I successfully purchased the land near Nashville. I went to the land today to check it out and I was amazed by the natural beauty of the land. There was a lake in the middle of it along with the little island. I cannot wait to see the process of my park. For now, here’s a couple of pictures from today.

Hello, everyone. On August 9th - August 11th, I will be going to Cedar Point for my birthday weekend. I already booked Hotel Breakers with a lake view room. Does anyone have any tips for the park and the general area?
Thank you

Carowinds has released a blog update about Blue Ridge Junction and Copperhead Strike. The theming looks good.

Has Roar been running well this year? I have not ridden it in 10 years was wondering how it has held up.
I have been to the park last month. I have to say the front is decent but the back is rougher. IMO the whole coaster doesn't do anything, it's just there.
-
Quick question (probably a stupid question). What is the rain policy for this park?
-
General question. Are there any discounts or coupons for Six Flags America? I am planning to go on September 8th.
-
I'm betting right now that is going to be a Skywarp model.
-
Kings Dominion has released a schedule for Winterfest.
-
The track kinda looks like Vekoma track or the same track from Merlins Mayhem.
-
My thoughts on this, It looks insane. I mean the whole thing looks insane. I did not expect this at all. I am skeptical about S&S for their past issues. Hopefully, it will succeed.
-
The whole project just screams Mack Multi-Launch coaster. 24 people per car = 6 cars. I'm guessing 3 launches and the top height of 197 ft. Some people will say Intamin Blitz, but these coasters usually have 3 or 4 cars per train. Mack has from 4 - 6 cars per train.

I don't know if anybody notices this or not but it looks likes they're using the 1st gen RMC trains. It's the way lap bar designed looks like the 1st gen. Here's the picture for comparison.
1st gen
2nd gen
I could be wrong though.

I have a question. I bought a Hersheypark ticket last year before the pandemic. My ticket got extended to June 30th, 2021. Do I still need the reservation?
