Rideslover Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi, I glad y'll like to see the Rotary Playland and Storybook in Fresno, CA here my link. www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42452 Ok now I went to the Granite Park at Cedar Ave and Dakota Ave where the shopping center was close to Panda Express on parking lot. I already take a picture of the Lightning Bolt Roller Coaster and the Log Flume from the MGM Grand Adventure in Las Vegas. Now both are lay on the ground but not ready to build it yet. Well that i saw the three rides are from the Wild West World in Kansas which the park is closed down due bankruptcy on June 2007. That is very sad and so long. I'm look around and i can't find the Fiesta Mexican? but i saw the Larson Flying Eagles, Rodeo Trail and the Kiddie Train Ride are there with the Zamperla Disk'O and Zamperla Kang-A-Bounce. Here is new photos in 3/8/08 and enjoy. The three pictures are from smartestcoasterkidever! on TPR forum about the Wild West World photos. Thanks, Larry J.

Rideslover Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 I guess when park is open in late summer 2008? but I don't seen a ready to build the Lightning Bolt and Over the Edge on March 8, 2008? I think they are building somewhere near Panda Express on Cedar Ave just like a kind of arcade, shopping or restaurant was close to the amusement park? I hope to get ready to building the roller coaster and log flume very soon. I ready on fresno news about they got three roller coasters as lightning bolt, I think maybe the crazy mouse from Wild West World? But the Fiesta Mexicana is on the way to Granite Park soon but other ride that Granite Park is offer for some more ride? They already offer for the Rodeo Trail, Kiddie Train and Larson Flying Eagles. yeah of course the Fiesta Mexicana. In October 2005 the traveling carnival with Butler Amusements the first new ride the Fabbri Spinning Madness as Pole Position at the Big Fresno Fair so I did rode the spinning madness but that is ok. I worried about they got problem and sometime got an accident from that happened. Reverchon Crazy Mouse is better than Pole Position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rideslover Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 I am going to Fresno maybe next week or two? but I will call my father and he can tell me when the lightning bolt and over the edge are ready to build it up? Double Decker Carousel in the container I think so. I guess what is more rides and roller coasters for the Forest at Granite Park? I don't know yet but I like to contact with the park owner. You seen the new two rides are made from Zamperla. Disk'O and Kang-A-Bounce? look at my photo. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, I can't believe these rides are coming back to live again. YAY! I have to say though, Over The Edge's boats were THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE flume boats ever created, I hope the improve them, as the original seating was HARD WOOD!

Rideslover Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'm read on Fresno news for The Forest at Granite Park about they add 4 roller coasters as includes the lightning bolt and other three more roller coasters. Maybe i hope can come to Geauga Lake for auctioneers and bidder to buy the roller coaster and rides for The Forest?

JimmyBo Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Have they mentioned when this park will be open? I know it says the fall but I was wondering if they had an opening date somewhere that I missed. Just curious because I am being dragged to a wedding in Fresno in Ocotber and I might escape that for a few hours to check out the park if it is open.

rwwrrr Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hello All: I am a local and am sad to say the city of Fresno is holding up construction with permiting issues. They expect to have it open in the fall of 08. However, I was there this weekend and nothing has changed out there in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
