89James89 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Current Year: 1960 Well I got some really good news for you all. A new park has finally been announced near to where I live here in england (near the Lake District to be precise). Anyway I've known of this park for quite a while as my dad works their as a mechanic or something like that but its not been till now that I've had anything to show you.Anyway today dad brought home this flyer and picture of the park logo. Enjoy as its all I have at the moment. But I hope to visit for the opening day soon and maybe my dad will give in to my badgering and take some photos himself before opening day or convince his boss to let me take some. Park Logo: Flyer showing a few attractions and rides as well as the Treasure Hunt which I really really want to ride. Well hope you enjoyed what I've got so far and I'll be sure to keep you updated. Regards Tom Halberry (Note: Comments and Criticisms welcome even though their ain't much to see. Also this is no cs park so that a. everyone can enjoy when I put it up for download and b. I don't cause to much lag by over detailing everything c. I just prefer it without)
Kingbooba Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Cool, although I'm not sure there were Wave Swingers in 1960...
timetrial3141592 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Call them chairswings like everybody else...
89James89 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Hmm not entirely sure I cant find anywhere that says they were or anywhere that says they weren't lol so Ill just go along with it for now. If you find out that they weren't then we'll see by how far out if its a few years it wont hurt to much and if its a lot well pretend it never existed lol.
89James89 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Current Year: 1960 Right heres some pictures I forced my dad to take for me. Also included is the logo for the rollercoaster now called Gold Mine. Yes this is the ride that in the flyer was (and still is flyer wise and park billboard wise) called Treasure Hunt. Kinda stupid to change the name already but hey the new name is much better. Anyway heres a logo: Well the ride your about to see is a wooden wild mouse following the standard wild mouse track but built out of wood. As far as I know the supports were designed by my Dad and several other mechanics and ride researchers with the track as said above following the standard layout. (OOC: seriously I looked at every wooden wild mouse on the rcdb and none said who designed them so I made it up lol) Anyway heres some pictures of it taken and provided by my dad. (Oh yeah first one is some random picture of the billboard outside the park) Now the ride some from lifthill and some from the path to it. Enjoy. There ya go hope you enjoyed the small update. Regards Tom Halberry
Kingbooba Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I can't wait for a big update! Gold Mine just seems...'ok'. I mean, I haven't seen much of it.
89James89 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 Replies: DBru: Thanks Kingbooba: Thanks and dont worry much more of Gold Mine is coming next update. Current Year 1960 Yay opening day. Well this is the first of 2 updates I've got planned for opening day. As you can see when we first arrived it was raining so not a brilliant start to the day but hey there were still some people coming in as well as us. Moving into the park we decided to take cover in one of the buildings till the rain passed and luckily it did pretty quickly and as you can see crowds really picked up. After standing around watching the crowds pouring in we bumped into my Dad who asked us what we thought so far and told us he may have something cool for us later on in the day. He then took us to meet his boss Mr Williams which was cool and we even got a free reel of 20 tickets off of him! After this was out of the way it was time to check out the rides. All 3 of them lol. I think this park needs to expand a little bit. First off though we went on the Merry Go Round for a couple of rides but to be honest I found it really boring lol. Next up was the chairswing which was much better. It was also really busy though as you can see from this photo. After riding it I took a photo of it that i think looks pretty cool. With the first two rides out of the way we went to get something to eat and get ready for the afternoon. Continued next update.[/u]
DBru Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Haha, I didn't realize the park only had 2 rides. Oh well, can't wait to see part 2!
