NathanT28 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Announcing the Hard Rock Theme Park Texas. The Park is being built near Brenham Texas on a very large lot of land near the Colorado River. The Hard Rock Cafe Company had a major success of their park in Myrtle Beach, SC that they wanted to expand their Music Theme Park to Texas. Construction was recently started on the park and here is the first shots. And the view from the Highway. Appears alot of work needs to be done on this park. Overview of the Construction sites being worked on. And the Main Entrance is about to go Vertical as well. Ground was just broken on the Hard Rock Resort Hotel where our Guests can stay as well as any of our Musical Performers who will perform in our park. Shot of the Parking Garage, as well as the Handicap and Premium Lot. Parking Garage almost finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanT28 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Well having not gone down to Brenham I decided to take a road trip, not much to report but the Hard Rock Resort has started going up. Here is a couple shots, first is what I saw last week and a week later look how much is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferfish Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 yeah, I can tell now, this is probably going to be a good one. You're spending more time on making it more realistic than just rushing to try to impress us. Great job, can't wait to see the finished product.

NathanT28 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Well driving down to Brenham, what did I spy? Looks like the Resort is done and they are soon going to get rides, I could not get into the park so no pics of track YET. But I will find a way. Look at the main entrance way now, this photo was taken by a friend who flys Helicopters in the area. I like the Pond shaped like a compass, pointing all directions. Resort built, guess Hard Rock wanted to take the Balconys off but it looks like a nice place to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercrazed49 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 your hotel is too big and blehh.. it makes then entry buildings looks so small. Exactly what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airforcekid Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 You should crop the hotel and put a different color in like a light pinkish color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanT28 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Nope cannot crop, thats why its called a Resort, not a Hotel, needs lots of rooms. And Entry way not too big either, but not done with that area either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanT28 Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Update Hard Rock Park Texas Found out that not only is that a Resort Hotel, with the passing of Texas Casino Law changes, Hard Rock Decided to open up a Casino in the Resort as well, there will be hundreds of Slot Machines, Craps, Blackjack and Poker tables. And also a construction worker sent me a teaser of Hard Rock parks first coaster, he called it "Project Heavy Metal" could this coaster be themed to the movie Heavy Metal that was made in the 70s? I dont know but here is the shot of the coaster. He said it was a Launched Floorless Coaster, I know B&M said Hulk would be their only launched coaster but I guess Money talks. "Project Heavy Metal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Cut two floors off the hotel and it'll look fantastic. The entrance is one of the best I've seen in years. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanT28 Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Well a big storm hit the area the other night in Brenham and the Hard Rock Resort was totalled by a F5 Twister. Luckily the entrance was not hit as well as the unnamed Coaster. Speaking of the coaster one of the construction worker has sent me even more shots and my friend in the helicopter took a shot as well. Here are the shots of the coaster and pretty soon once I can get on scene I will get pics of whats left of the Resort. As you can see all that really needs to be done is the themeing and naming of this coaster but Hard Rock is keeping that secret right now. If you wonder why the footers are so big, its because the city of Brenham required those footers for some reason. And finally up close pics of the coasters train, rumor is B&M is going to have the lead car of train #1 at IAAPA in a couple weeks. Taken from a basket hooked onto a crane by a construction worker, this B&M coaster is huge and looks to be fun! First shot taken from a scissor lift by a construction worker. Friend got a little lower and zoomed in, look at the GIANT Cobra Roll. First photo taken by friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanT28 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well not much has happened ride wise since the tornado hit, the unnamed coaster has a name, its called Syrnix dedicated to the rock group RUSH, next to Syrinx the RUSH Cafe was built and Neil Perts first drum set and Alex Liferson gave Hard Rock Park a guitar and amp to put on display. Also world reknown Zambelli Fireworks of Newcastle PA set up their high class launch site, the fireworks show which no one knows what will be like will happen every night and if the performer that performs in the unbuilt amphitheater needs pyro they will also shoot the concerts as well. The fireworks show is shot by computer and sends out the cues to a relay box that the shells ematches are hooked into for exact precision. Here is some shots of the site and bunker for the computer as well as the containers the fireworks are held in. Here is the RUSH Cafe, lots of variety of food to be bought here. And you can see donated RUSH Intruments! First Shot of Syrnixs station and train storage and themeing. The Radars are dedicated to RUSHs "Test for Echo CD" and the Weird base is supposed to be the "Temple of Syrnix" And finally as I left Brenham after getting a tour of the fireworks site I took a pic of under construction rebuilt hotel. The Cranes were not around that day so I did not see anyone working but looks like the roof is all the needs to be built. BTW reason no one working, it was Thanksgiving holiday! Here is an overview of the Zambelli site. The show is supposedly going to be one of the best shows in the world! Here are the shipping containers that all the explosives are stored in. Zambelli resupplys the containers once a month with the shells they make as well as shipped in from China to keep all the shells needed in supply. Here are the pics of the relay boxs that the computer sends the signal to, each pod or rack including the finale and large shells have a relay. Picture taken facing the bunker, the technicians are safe from any low bursts as well as the computer. The computer that shoots the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is so many morters. cant you take some out? And the hotel looks better. Still needs work. But keep working on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I think you should remove the white footers, they look ugly. Other than that the park is looking good. Cant wait to see the fire works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanT28 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Well I am going to have to start ALL over, somehow the park file got corrupt. Oh well I can change some things that I wanted but it will take alot longer!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
