Monona Exposition Park

[EuroTre]

OK, I have a legitimate excuse for not doing anything involving RCT2 for a long time. My stupid sister tossed it behind the computer.

 

In the small town of Monona, which neighbors the city of Madison, there was a small park that was used for social events and other things, called the 'Monona Exposition Park'. Situated a few blocks away from the Monona Terrace, the park became a theme park in 1916. The park, although small, had several spectacular coasters, including the best Flying Turns ever made.

 

Updates soon...

I uncovered a few construction pictures to satisfy you guys.

The Flying Turns looks interesting, but with the sheer size of the ride, the supports make it really look like an eyesore - or at least REALLY unrealistic. Otherwise, I really like the park, it seems a lot like the pictures of an Australian park that I saw on rcdb. Somehow, the "simplicity" of the park gives it an interesting character - not too elaborate buildings, scenery, etc. Simple, yet effective.

FlyingTurns looks fake. Other than that, cool!

Additional comment: Try to look at some other Flying Turns pics, like the old ones or even Knoebels to get at least somewhat of an idea of realism - I'd say keep the ride around 50 - 65 feet tall - and make sure that a station is put on it - assuming this model's station was finished. But the queue line stuff looks nice - I'd suggest to keep that.

The Flying Turns was only about 100 ft. tall.

So it's not the tallest, but maybe the biggest.
