LOVE SFKK Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 While Rigepoint Des Moines has been off construction for the past month, they have started on their second park in the chain. Ridgepoint Seattle Bay will be nestled on Vashon Island, which is directly west of Seattle on an Island in the Puget Sound. Becasue of this location the park will be small. The company picked this location for its flat terrain, which will make fitting many thrill rides in a small area possible. The Park has agreed with the state of Washington and the city of Seattle that a small bridge will be built from Vashon Island to Seattle, at the parks expense. The park will have two roller coasters. PUGET MOUNTAIN MINING COMPANY: This roller coaster will have three lift hills , ow of which will take riders 110 feet and speed them to 55 miles per hour. The roller coaster will be built by S&S/Arrow developments, and will be the first mining train coaster built by this company since the two merged in '02. Its a great adventure and fits in the park nicely. . . . . Hi my names Brady, and I will be doing updates for Ridgepont Seattle bay! Ill keep you updated the best i can. Im really excited for this new park. Finally Seattle gets a GOOD theme park! These two slides for the younger set are really fast! The waterpark named Harbour Splash added a really small wavepool, but it gets te job done Although its a very tight fit, their is a nice open space for resting/tanning It has 3 very slides that actually have substance to them! The park also shoehorned in a PAY EXTRA waterpark next to the PMMC Off in the distance you can see where this ride gets intense Its has very many close misses with the wooden beams Its a very long ride with 3 lift hills It finally ends up to a Western Style Station that houses PUGET MOUNTAIN MINING COMPANY A winding path takes riders on a mysterious walk This deceiving small colonial style building houses the entrance to a big adventure This ride definately is a crowd favorite The park constructed a Waveswinger that takes guests feet dangerously close to the pines! The parks first ride, CYCLONE, takes riders on fun 3 minute ride The park has a nice little entrance building where guests buy their tickets.
coastercrazed49 Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Looks good so far. I really like the water park alot. I am not to sure about the mine train, but maybe if you add mountains it might looks better.
odie Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Wow awesome Idea! I wish there was a park this nice only 30 minutes (And 1 ferry ride.) from my house! Great job!
LOVE SFKK Posted July 13, 2007 Author Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks for the nice replies. fyi, in year 5 something will happen to the mine train, so if its not your style, it **may** not be around much longer!
LOVE SFKK Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 The park has been working really hard to get rides put in, but still, when the the front gates open, people run for the water park. It has MAXED out capacity since day one. Puget Mountain is a walk on all day, and it only sends out about 9 trains a day. Who needs four train capaciy when no one wants to ride it! The park constructed a new ride, and it looks really awesome. Its made by some company called intamin, and was inspired by a water ride at a park called Hesheys Hawaiin Escape. Its called...OCTOSPLASH The new logo for the park. New logo for OCTOSPLASH R:SB sent me this pic today and the station looks pretty awesome! Thats all for this update..stay tuned The mangagment told me that after this slide the waterpark would not receive anything new, becasue they wated to keep the parks image..''open'' WOW, What a finish Im still in awe of how the space turned up for this, it looks really fun With the great succes of the water park, they have actually managed to fit another slide in!!! Its a straightfoward layout, put it looks pretty fun The drop is **almost** as steep as PP Its a shame they didnt put a bridge in, but it still looks awesome The park has stated that if this attraction doesnt take off, they may hae to make some drastic changes that will affect the parks future The real reason im here today....OCTOSPLASH..has finished construction The coaster is really fun, I think it doesnt get many riders, becasue its really hard to get to. They make the most carnival like rides look pretty good! They put in a Chaos ride, and it has actually brought quite a few guests to the ride part of the park This is about all the gusts Puget Mountain got all day! This ride just hasnt taken off with the guests. It is a great water park. The green slide makes you almost flip on that s-bend turn The water park is always maxed out every day. it holds about 600 guests.
