coaster1000 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 This is exciting! But I'm a bit confused: Does this mean you're gonna redo the whole thing, or just revamp it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Let me just say that I'm extremely happy to see this park return in any form. This has always been my favorite of your works, so to see it come back to life is certainly exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Well this should be interesting, I did look back through the whole topic. (Its a big topic).

ImpossiblyBrandon Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I, too, read this whole post back in July, all 119 pages of it. It was like a novel the way there was suspense and such! And towards the end when he faked us out with the "returning... oh never mind it's just a dream" bit, OH that got me mad! haha, but anyway, I am really excited and this guy is my inspiration for my parks, it's great to have him back!

coasterdude5 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hello again! The Volcanic Venues & Suites portion of the new Hershey Hawaii resort is progressing smoothly. Parts of the indoor themepark and shopping mall are still being converted from the former waterpark which once stood in its place. Brand new LCD video screens will grace the inside of the "Venue" side of the Volcanic. This entrance will connect the indoor theme park and shopping mall with the hotel. As guests enter, they will first notice this family coaster that has been a part of Hershey Hawaii ever since its opening as Hawaiian Escape. Looking down the elevator shaft that will transport guests from the lower level of the indoor themepark and shopping mall to the upper level viewing area.

RCT3D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Looks really nice!! I love how the small coaster in front of the hotel looks like artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavs Fan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Duma-Paka(or whatever else it was called)!!!!!!!!!! I like so far, but does this mean you are just focusing on the hotel. Is the small zoo gone? Also, like said above, are you starting over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggernel Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Finally, don't mean to whine, but I cannot wait unitl the next updates come out. Just the realism, is beyond anything I have seen on this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hershey leaves Hawaii After a stay in Hawaii for over 60 years, the Hershey company announced plans today to sell its land in Honolulu to the newly-formed Honolulu Biowerks Foundation. The plot of land was originally developed as Hawaiian Escape, an amusement park owned by a local business owner. After four years, the now-defunct Hershey Entertainment company purchased the park and changed its name to Hershey's Hawaiian Escape. For over 50 years, Hershey's Hawaiian Escape was continously ranked among the top tourist destinations in the state, despite it being located in a primarily industrial district. A hotel resort and waterpark, along with countless other new attractions, were added to the park during its half a century stay. After the park's fifty-fifth season, Hershey announced plans to close the amusement park and to seel the hotel resort and open a zoo on a portion of the land. Last year, Hershey announced plans to close the zoo, buy back the hotel resort, and to add an indoor amusement park and retail center, dubbing the entire project 'Hershey Hawaii'. However, the Honolulu Biowerks Foundation approached the company earlier this month with an offer that Hershey "could not refuse," according to a Hershey spokesperson. HBF will pay for the clearing of the land, except for the onsite hotel resort, which will be converted into a children's hospital. HBF plans to redevelop the land as a biomedical research facility. A large part of the land will be utilized as green space as part of the foundation's goal of a cleaner and healthier state. The biomedical research facility will occupy nearly 30% of the land, with nearly 55% of the land being dedicated to green space. The hotel resort will be converted into a children's research hospital within the next five years. ___________________ I think many of you can guess that I took on way too much with the indoor amusement park concept. While it would have been an executable project maybe 2 or 3 years ago, I simply no longer have the amount of free time that would be needed for something of this size. Since I'm sure none of you are interested in seeing the progress of a biomedical research facility, I see this is as realistic yet prompt way out. I've been attempting to bring this project back several times (as referenced in Beyond Pixelation) but due to a lack of free time, I think this is a good time to let this one go (for good). I appreciate all the support this project has gotten over the years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 A biomedical facility and hospital in RCT3 actually sounds interesting. Definitely something cool and unique, since its never been done before. Oh well, the project was fun while it lasted. Perhaps in the future, when the Hawaii's a bit cleaner we can see what a hospital/research facility in RCT really looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Why don't you sell the park? Like you did with SeaWorld Hawaii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Just my observation, but this park's name always makes me laugh. I always read it as "Hershey Highway." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Why don't you sell the park? Like you did with SeaWorld Hawaii? Because no one ever finishes them - they just end up falling off the map. I am very against letting a project do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 6 Hours of reading. Wow. After reading your other thread about Charleston Gardens, I had to read this one. It's pure. It's amazing.
