coasters 4 me Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Whao...very nice park. I havent been on in a while and I have just noticed this. Â Aww....dang about Viper, it looked really nice. Ah well....out with the old, in with the new. Â I really like the way you do your parks in the update. Like a Trip Report or something. Â Great work!!
Steffen_Dk Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 ^^ Ohhh.... Well yeah - that's sad, and why Riptide - I love it!! I will booo too.. BOOOOo
coasterdude5 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 *See below for ride announcement!  Update Year 2 - Recap  Year 2 was somewhat of a slow year, nothing much. The crowds died off a bit, but they expected that with two headliner rides closed.  Riptide still sitting there nearly untouched.  Hopefully they'll go ahead and tear it down to put it out of its misery. I don't get why they have to leave it there to conduct the investigation.  - Now the moment everybody's been waiting for, the announcement of... -  Update Year 2 - Next Year Announcement    HAWAIIAN ESCAPE - The park announced today plans for an 8 story thrill ride today.  Hurtle de' Zhambi will thrust riders at 60 mph into three inversions, twists, plunges, and turns.  "We are very excited about the addition," park manager Ron Smith said, "it's a great attraction.  The ride is manufactured by Vekoma. The ride is one of a kind to the area. The ride will open for the Year 3 season.  Stats: Length: 3403' Height: 80' Inversions: 3 Speed: 57 mph Duration: 1:22  Word on the street is that this was somewhat of a "gift" to the park from Vekoma.  I guess since they really screwed them over with Riptide.  The ride is surprisingly smooth. Hopefully just like it's sister coaster in Florida.  The park is adding a whole new section around it.  I'm glad they were able to reuse Viper's station.  The area around the ride looks nice.  It looks really cool from a distance.  The turnaround back to the station.  More soon. Wait until you hear what I heard might possibly replace Riptide!
Steffen_Dk Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Ohhh a new coaster  I like it - it fits the park very well....
kennywood!007 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 WOW! That looks really good! Great addition to the park. Keep up the great work!
calum666 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I think you have done a great job of creating this park!
PLCP22 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Still going strong...and I can't wait to find out what happens to Riptide.
coasterdude5 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Update Year 3  The Year 3 season is off to a good start  Crowds have been moderate  We haven't covered the ferris wheel alot. It's cool.  The latest talk is that Dolphina is on the way out due to Seaworld Hawaii opening soon.  Riptide is still sitting there.  Line for Hurtle de Zhambi (no, I don't know what that means)  Pre-launch shot.  a few weeks later  Whoa, Dolphina was shut down yesterday...  This is apparently the last show.  The show was almost always packed.  Guess they knew it wouldn't stand up to a Seaworld production  You will be missed.  What's this?  Finally...  The Dolphina eventually closed
EuroTre Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Yay for death to disfunctional Vekoma pieces of crap!
coasterdude5 Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 Update Breaking News! Â The first pieces of a ride dubbed "Project: Wave" have just arrived! Â Floorless, Invert, Dive Machine, Hyper, Stand-up? Those are all of the possibilities in my eyes. Â Here's the overview of the land availible for Project: Wave, in the bottom area is where Dolphina once stood. The upper portion is where Riptide stood. Â The new coaster for Season 4 will be announced March 9th, 2007!
Steffen_Dk Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Hurray.... A B&M coaster instead of Vekoma crap  There's a lot land, so I think it'll be a large coaster...
thomas2 Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Really nice park! Too bad the Vekoma was ripped out...
coasterdude5 Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Update Year 4 Announcement! Â Â Debuting the Year 4 Season, Hawaiian Escape will unleash yet another thrill ride: Tidal Wave. Â Tidal Wave will reach 10 stories toward the sky, and will plunge riders 80 feet into the first vertical loop, from there, riders will be thrown through a zero-g roll and an immelman element. Soaring across the midway, the suspended riders will maneuver through a tilted immelman into an intense helix leading into another vertical loop. Â Then it gets interesting, if it hasn't already, riders will cross the midway again, upside down, as they roar through two consecutive flat spins - never before seen in an inverted coaster. Â Tidal Wave's twisted layout. Â The second vertical loop. Â The first vertical loop. Â The train crossing over the midway. Â Cool lifthill shot! Â View of the immelman from down below deck. Â This park looks great at dusk. Â You can clearly see the ride as you're approaching the park entrance. Â Oh, hey immelman. Â I searched around after hearing all the Dive Machine rumors and found something interesting: someone in Hawaii had already planned for a dive machine, because HE was planning on adding one. This could only mean the upcoming Seaworld Hawaii park. Â No updates for about a week, I'm going out of town, but when HE returns, I hear something big is coming. Â Let's just say... I hope you like chocolate.
knottslover77 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I love it! Can't what for the next adtion to the park. Â --Jay
eskater132 Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Tidal wave is one of the best inverts I've seen on RCT3!
coasterdude5 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Posted March 18, 2007 Update Year 4 Â Year 4 has flown by, it seems as in the last week.... The park has been bought out by a huge corporation, but a formal announcement has not yet been made. Â Changes are very obvious around the park. Â It's going around that all of the tower rides are coming down. Â That would really change the park's skyline. Â Tidal Wave is still a hit. Â I don't know what'd I'd do without the Intamin drop tower. Â I also heard that SeaStar might also be removed for the new owners. Â That would disappoint alot of people. Â It's one of the more popular rides at the park. Â Looks like Waste of Space is finally leaving... Â I hate corporate takeover. Â The new ownership announcement will be announced tomorrow.
thefitness Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 This park is really cool,and pretty realistic.Tidal Wave looks great, but I noticed in one of the pictures there was still some of the default supports attached. Â Anyways, It's looking really good.Can't wait to see more.
coasterdude5 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 Update Year 5 Announcement  Hawaiian Escape to become:  HAWAIIAN ESCAPE - Hawaii's favorite themepark is getting a dose of chocolate next year. The park has been bought out by the Hershey Entertainment group. The park is currently being rebranded to include the Hershey name. In order to keep costs down, most of the park will remain themed as it is now, but the new owneers will add the "Hershey Grove" area to the park which will incllude several Hershey-themed rides including: Hershey's Chocolate Coaster, Hershey's Xtreme Cup Challenge, Reese's Cup Twirler, and Twizzler Turnover.  These rides will be added over the next two seasons. The area will also include a Hershey store that the train will go through. The park will add a new "Kissing Tower" observation ride.  Hershey has plans to also add a parking garage to clear up space for the planned "Hershey Hawaii" resort area that will include hotels, stores, and the classic Chocolate Factory Tour.  Hershey also decided to remove 4 rides from the park. These include Delusion [waste of space], Phoenix [condor ride], Skydeck [observation tower], and Rock Drop [gyro drop].  Expect more announcements soon.  No one really knows whether or not this is the old tower with new equipment, or a whole new ride.  It looks great, though.  Skydeck's former site.  Phoenix's former site.  Hershey Grove construction  Whoa, they went and paved over Delusion's old site.  The skyline has really changed.  Delusion's queue is now being removed.  Waste of Space isn't looking too bad compared to this, come on Hershey...  This is dumb.  Hopefully it's only temporary  Hershey's, I mean Reese's  New signage. More soon.
