Lol, I like this thread. I encountered a stray cat that somehow made it on the lift catwalks on Batman the Ride at sfstl.

Thanks for the reply! I can't wait to post more updates!

This is great! My Dad and I visit Rockford once a year, and this will give us a reason to use our passes there next year!

October 1979 Wanted to make a quick trip report before the off season, and I noticed something new! Artsy Gunslinger shot Quick ride on Runaway Express I noticed this new sign added before the final drop The log flume was open for some reason, so I decided why not another artsy shot Shot of Twister from the Big Wheel Decided to get the Dragon Run credit Shot of the entrance from the lake What's this? A new ride is coming next year! Anyone got any guesses for what it is? See you next time!

April 1979 Today is the official public opening of Cypress Adventure's new coaster, Twister! I honestly did not expect a new coaster to open on the 2nd season of operation. The owners are really investing in this park! Without further ado, here is my trip report of Twister's opening day: I decided to check on the Runaway Express to see if Twister took away the crowds, but it didn't surprisingly! Quick ride on Rodeo since it was a 10 minute wait hmm I wonder where this crowd is heading to? Ooo what is that up ahead? Twister! The line was posted at 3 hours long But Twister flys right above out heads to keep us entertained! This is my favorite shot Up the lift it goes I didn't take this shot just to show that I got the front row, but to also to show the perfectly framed shot of Cypress Plunge's drop from the exit Well, it was your basic Arrow corkscrew, but it actually had a helix at the end of the ride, which I think makes this particular model unique Rode the train to prove that this corkscrew had a helix at the end of the ride And here's Twister's train! And I'm ending this report with a shot of Twister from Skyrama! See you next time!

correct!

Nope, I should also say that it features 6 inversions

I still get over how much detail your coaster has! It’s beautiful! Btw, will it run?

The recent remake was at SFOG though

Nope! The coaster it belongs to is white

Ooooooo It's very pretty! Great job transforming a rct3 park to planet coaster! I'm now inspired for a good timeline with my Cypress Adventures park! Keep it up!

Here goes

Mako?

NEW FOR 1979! Cypress Adventures introduces its first looping roller coaster: TWISTER where you go upside down not once, but TWICE! Seek shelter and hang on! a wild twister is making its way in 1979, sending you down a 62 ft drop through 2 corkscrew inversions and around a helix before the storm ends! See you next year!

Great addition! Also I wonder if they posted that layout on the steam workshop

October 1978 I decided to visit Cypress Adventures one last time before the season ended. I did not intend to make a trip report, but I discovered something new that I just had to take photos of and share: I'm here one last time before the end of the 1978 season! The usual lake. Wait... Somethings different... First thing I did was take a ride on Skyrama just for a shot of what appears to be a new coaster being built! I snuck my camera onto Cypress Plunge just so I could take a picture of this new coaster! and this is a zoom shot of the coaster I took over the construction walls that was blocking off the path to the coaster. It appears to be an arrow coaster. A corkscrew model perhaps? The park did state that they're announcing something in 2 days, so we'll just have to wait and see...

Was at the park today. Is this the coffin challenge area? Also here’s Highland Fling’s queue. Coffin challenge area where fling used to sit?

Is that knott’s boomerang cars in the last picture?

1978 So one day, I was just sitting in my office minding my own business when my coworker brought me a newspaper telling me that I should read the front page. It read: NEW THEME PARK OPENS IN CHATTANOOGA! Yesterday on June 17th 1978, The newest theme park in Tennessee: Cypress Adventures has opened to the public! Home to 2 family coasters and rides fun for the whole family! People having fun on the park's signature ride: Runaway Express Excited, I made plans to visit Cypress Adventures next weekend on the 24th. I couldn't believe that a theme park opened just 15 minutes away from where I lived! I loved theme parks, and I always visited Silver Dollar City in Tennessee and Opryland, but both parks were about 2 hours away. Flash forward to June 24th, I stepped into Cypress Adventures for the first time. It was a nice park! I'm here! This park's landscaping is beautiful! I should mention that this park doesn't have a "main street" like most parks do Decided to take the path on the right and the first ride I encountered was Gunslinger. The line was pretty long for it. I wasn't lying about the line. I was surprised when I saw this park has a trokia! I actually love these rides! One of the 2 stops for the train which circles the park. Time for me to check out the biggest (bigger than the kiddie coaster) coaster at the park: Runaway Express! The line was posted at a 3 hour wait! Runaway Express really uses its terrain well, and you can't even see most of the layout! This is the most of the layout you'll see from the path. I wasn't allowed to bring my camera on the ride, but it followed the terrain nicely with a surprise final drop that no one can see coming. It seemed a lot steeper than it looked. Themed eating area Here' the park's log flume: Cypress Plunge I like the wheel you can see from the queue Basically the ride sits on a hill, you go up the lift and then just go around in random turns, until the final drop, where you forget you're on a hill, so you don't see how big the drop is until you're on it! The park's observation tower: Skyrama It's pretty tall and it provides some awesome views! Big Wheel Here's the park's fantasy section. It was very crowded I wonder what's inside this mysterious castle styled building Castle Crash bumper cars! Cypress Adventure's kiddie coaster, Dragon run was pretty popular with the kids but the carousel did not have that much attention, surprisingly Wild Tea Party Fantasy Fling I decided to ride the train before I left and I'm glad I did! It goes through part of Runaway Express's course! Here's the big final drop I was talking about! random helix On my way out, I picked up a postcard that showed the park from above. I can't wait to see what this park brings in the future!

Now THAT looks awesome!! Can’t wait to see the finished ride pov!

I was pretty careful in saying amusement park as opposed to theme park (although 99% of the time it's semantics). But let's be honest. Every theme park is either in FL or Cali. Silver Dollar City would like a word with you.

I don’t think Six Flags will mess with Frontier City that much. They own Great Escape in new york, yet they don’t have the typical six flags theme anymore (as far as I know). I think they’ll treat this park like Great Escape, except a little more thrilling.

To make it worse, they decide to sell it again after 1 month of operating the 2019 season! Six Flags is being sold to Cedar Fair

Looking forward to this Endeavor! I had a lot of fun on the ones at sfot and kentucky kingdom!
