DallasAlvey Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Looks good I'm guessing it's going to be a classical type of park with lots of woodies and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccoaster Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Just read this in the local news paper. Hatside Park is under new management by Doug Smith who wants to turn it into a thriving Theme Park. I can't wait I'm so excited! Heres some pics I took recently. So now that the park's under new management I wonder what they'll add. It all looks the same so far. Hey whats that entrance to? Could it be? Official announcement soon.

King of Ka Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Why the balls is there a steel coaster in 1906? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Actually, isnt that about the time they started making those bs steels that kept on killing people? You know, with the circular loops and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Ummm, those were still wood coasters. One or two did have steel supports, though, Coney Island Cyclone style. And besides, the first steel coaster did appear in 1906 in Munich's Oktoberfest, designed by Karl Gabriel. Here is a picture I scanned out of one of my ACE Magazines for use in one of my school presentations: If you look closely, it basically looks like a steel side friction coaster. Anyway, the park doesn't look that bad. I know you just started, but you could still add more detail to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccoaster Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Heres the article I found on the new coaster. New for 1907. Ready for your world to turn upside down? Loop The Loop is the ride to go to. Designed by Lina Beecher this new concept will have you head over heels with centrifugal force. The Sign! I think this is a risky move for the park. But the guest's seem to like it......... Park Overview More Soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside down Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 That doesnt look very safe at all.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Ka Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Alright, I suppose it isn't completely historically inaccurate to have a steel coaster in 1906. This looks like it could very well be a nice park. Any chance of a download (once it's completed, that is)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccoaster Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yes when it's year 2008. ^^ Ummm nothing really was back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 A wooden coaster would've looked better. Sorry to say this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccoaster Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 It's 1908 and we got another attraction this year! Called American Slide, though it didn't have it's own press release, I'll give you the stats, It's a spiral type slide with a wooden frame and a metal slide which you slide down on. Loop The Loop is still drawing in a crowd. The New Attraction! More On The 25th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccoaster Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've just received some very depressing news today. At the end of season 4 Hatside Park will shut it's doors for good. Doug Smith has gone bankrupt after the cost of the concept coaster and the slide. Plus he lost his 2nd business which he was the owner of a wood furniture store. Loop The Loop has gotten very unreliable. The Park's rating is dropping. 13 years later..................... More Soon............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Actually, isnt that about the time they started making those bs steels that kept on killing people? You know, with the circular loops and such. Um, no. Even Lopp The Loop was wooden. The first steel coaster was Matterhorn in 1959. All the ones before that is wood. Nice park though!

asr Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 No, Matterhorn was the first steel with tubular rails and started the popularity of major steel coasters. There were steel coasters well before that used sqaure rails, such Bradley and Kaye kiddie coasters like SFMM's Goliath Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside down Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I say a fundraiser to save the park,and repair the rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebtkid Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 ^^ Yes you are right. http://www.rcdb.com/id1824.htm That's a roller coaster called Rodelbaan in the Netherlands that was built in the 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Yeah but check out the style... at the very least he could have put up lattice supports or used the wood coaster... the trains and style of supports totally ruin it for me.
