No picture update today, but the rest of the park has been mapped out on paper. Here's a list and description of the themed areas and the major rides they will contain.

 

ARCADIA MIDWAY

 

Classic rides and thrills for the whole family can be found on the Arcadia Midway. Expect lots of color and foliage among the gentle rides to add to the peaceful setting of this area.

 

*Carousel

*Antique cars

 

BOARDWALK

 

Carrying mixed nautical themes from sea storms to pirates, the boardwalk will contain many flat rides and several roller coasters aimed at families.

 

*Ghost train

*Intamin halfpipe coaster

*Indoor Reverchon spinning coaster

*Giant wheel

*Chance Wipeout

 

ELECTRI CITY

 

Cities are known to have their share of problems... but none have suffered worse than Electri City. Cursed by an electrical phenomenon caused by a faulty nuclear reactor, the city will never be the same. Even the city's rapid transit rail system seems to be malfunctioning these days...

 

*Bolliger & Mabillard floorless coaster

*Intamin rocket coaster

*Indoor Kuka Robocoaster

 

TIMBER CROSSING

 

From the massive spinning buzzsaw to the log transportation flume, it seems like guests are welcome aboard all of Timber Crossing's rusty old lumber equipment.

 

*GCI Twister coaster

*Log flume

*S&S combo towers

*Huss Giant Frisbee

 

LOST RUINS

 

The recently discovered lost ruins beckon from deep within the mist-filled rainforest. Here, park guests can cool off down a surging waterfall, explore an ancient temple, and even have their very souls taken by voodoo priests. Quite a breathtaking experience...

 

*B&M Inverted coaster

*B&M Diving machine

*Maurer launched indoor x-car coaster

*Huss Jump 2

*Intamin shoot-the-chutes

 

GHOST TOWN

 

Through an abandoned mine shaft lies Ghost Town - where weird happenings have begun to arise. From the mines in the mountains to the shady hotel, lost souls cry out from a massacre which left this town very much dead, but not silent...

 

*Dark ride

*B&M Flying coaster

*Mine train coaster

*Chance revolution

*Indoor freefall

 

Look for a huge update in the coming week...

Despite the awful Nor' Easter passing through the area, work crews worked day and night and managed to complete an entire themed area! SAWMILL SUMMIT is now entirely complete, down to the very last spruce tree. Let's take a look...

Towards the end of the ride, Diamondback conforms to the hilly terrain, with airtime so good... it'll make you wanna slap yo mama!

 

Thank you for checking out the update, the next project will be finishing the shopping street and hotel.

DB takes this helix with a good amount of speed.

Diamondback will have riders ducking on this oh-so-close headchopper!

Let's not forget the new GCI Twister/Out-n-back hybrid: DIAMONDBACK!

A second turntable in the cutting room rights the logs before splashing down the final drop.

For a moment, riders are tricked into thinking they'll be taking the plunge backwards...

1821974180_TimberFallsOverview.jpg.2024c75b6796e97cd1b19032df6efa90.jpg

High up on the top of Sawmill Summit is TIMBER FALLS, a long relaxing log flume with beautiful scenery and an exciting 65' drop!

A pair of S&S towers have also been delivered, take a look at the brand new EVERGREEN SCREAM as they continue to test.

Arcadia Point has received its first flat ride from Huss! A giant frisbee appropriately named THE BUZZSAW.

View from the parking structure, check out that new coaster!

From the top of the "yet to be unvelied" floorless coaster, we get a great view of the new area.

* LOST RUINS themed area construction begins.

 

* Parts for Bolliger & Mabillard inverted coaster arrive and construction begins.

 

* Intamin shoot-the-chutes complete and testing.

 

I know the pictures are small, but I just wanted to show you what's going on with the park, there will be much more pictures once venom is complete.

A teaser photo for what just might be the world's most intense inverted coaster: Venom!

 

Thanks for your interest!

Lost River Plunge construction went smoothly and the ride continues to test.

1555181628_VenomStation.jpg.50957cee9e47deaf0b4eb96a7b861a03.jpg

The station is still in its beginning stages of construction, but the promotional department seems eager to show off some logos for the new Lost Ruins area!

509827746_VenomParts001.jpg.676d8b6457622a5ff5a397aa63c4e80e.jpg

Over the past month, parts have arrived for VENOM, the park's inverted coaster themed to deadly snakes.

Voodoo.jpg.8eabb38807ac7ca5310d5dea64f36bea.jpg

Lost Ruins will feature, not one... but two B&M coasters!

^ Thanks, I pretty much put Venom all together tonight and didn't like it so I'm redoing it to be more of a ground-hugging terrain coaster. The flat spins, station and brakes will remain as you see them but all the work I did tonight was pretty much a waste as it just came out looking... wrong from what I had pictured. I might just go ahead amd build Voodoo first until I can think of how to finish Venom.

* Work continues on the Lost Ruins themed section of the park. The area currenty has one quarter of its total rides including the shoot-the-chutes LOST RIVER PLUNGE and the B&M Inverted Coaster: Venom.

 

* This area will also feature several flat rides, a B&M Dive machine and possibly an indoor coaster, space permitting.

 

Check out the screenshots below!

Lost Ruins is only half done but I think its coming laong pretty good, thank you for checking out the update!

Through the foggy snake pit.

Venom's back-to-back flatspins spiral over Lost River Plunge.

Venom's signature cobra roll is taken quickly after a dark tunnel.

A giant vertical loop through a snake pit follows the first drop.

roll.jpg.61907626836a892db0c501c740b7a4b6.jpg

After a short curving drop, riders take a hilltop barrel roll before gliding up over the waterfall to face the 160' main drop.

lift.jpg.168f9ad62af5aa3aeed856a57d461a48.jpg

Being a bit of a terrain coaster, the lift hugs the mountain and offers a great view of Aracdia Beach!

Snakes.jpg.3ba7f9f0b23f9d7b69e9460b3b9e4451.jpg

Back out into daylight, riders will be snapped at by two venomous snakes that leap from the trees.

1615651187_Showbuilding.jpg.32ddad8362376c71c45298ddcd05ab53.jpg

The ride begins by dipping out of the station and through a helix before entering the pre-lift show building. In the show building, we realize we have stumbled upon a very agresive species of snake's nesting grounds as the area is scattered with eggs...

142363753_VenomEntry.jpg.0e1056ab517c576d0da13ad3c4aa4948.jpg

The entry to Venom, the station is themed to a reptile research facility, and in classic theme park style, something goes terribly wrong...

710110188_Lostruinsentry.jpg.bc9c157cb8c0a10f3fc374cee9db2c04.jpg

The yet-to-be-finished entry gate to Lost Ruins takes visitors over a brudge and through Venom's cobra roll.

Splooooooshhh!

Lost River Plunge intertwines closely with Venom and makes for some interesting visuals!

Thank you for your comments! There are plenty of other ideas to come, the park isn't even half done yet but I plan on finishing it before the 4th of July.

 

Right now I'm working on squeezing the Dive Machine VOODOO into the Lost Ruins without disturbing the landscape, kind of a pain actually. More updates soon!
