coasterdude5 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) 1983 9th Season Well, today is the last day of our 9th season! Despite no new major offerings, attendance has held steady. We're sure next year's new attraction will bring in the crowds! See you on Monday for the announcement! - Joseph Reynolds We've received record amounts of rainfall this year and it's raining today! Derecho will receive a new coat of paint during the offseason. Monster Mash Hotel closed early for a minor rehab. The midway isn't as busy when it's raining. Derecho, Parachute Falls, and Carolina Calamity. How long will Heatwave hold the "tallest" title? Those who still weren't wet enough took a spin on Gully River Rapids. I've been told this is an area to keep your eye on. Stay tuned for the announcement!

Pure Impurity Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Taller than Heat Wave? It probably isn't an Arrow suspended, that's for darn sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Could it be a custom Arrow looper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squid Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I just read the whole thread from end to end, and I must say you're doing a great job. It really looks and feels like a real park. Keep up the good work! Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBru Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 So...I guess it's going to be a classic Schwarzkopf multi-looper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 ^The park already has a shuttle loop, so why would they add a fairly similar coaster when there are other possibilities? I'll go with either a Schwarzkopf non looping coaster (Knightmare or Lisebergbanan), a Togo stand-up, or an Arrow suspended coaster. I think the most likely will be one of the last two though.

Mastersax68 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I still say a good old Arrow suspended. A giant one like BBW used to be at Busch Gardens Europe would be awesome. I'd love to see you build one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) ANNOUNCEMENT - 1984 1984 proves to be an exhilarating tenth season at Charleston Gardens Amusement Park with the addition of Vulture, a steel suspended swinging monster of a roller coaster. Standing 120 feet over the park, Vulture will take its spot as one of the most frightening rides at the park. The ride will contain speeds of over 55 mph and will be one of the longest rides at Charleston Gardens Amusement Park. A product of Arrow, a renowned roller coaster company known for solid attractions, Vulture will surely hold a spot on guests' "must ride" lists. Vulture will open for the park's tenth season this Spring. Vulture at Charleston Gardens Amusement Park Vulture will soar high above Gully River Rapids Vulture's track blends with the sky. Vulture's train can hold up to twenty guests. Vulture will be set next to a lake that is currently being dug. Vulture will command a presence from nearly anywhere in the park. Vulture's station, while simple, is similar to the other buildings found in the Gully Gulch area. Vulture's layout Edited January 31, 2015 by coasterdude5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Well...I definitely didn't see that coming (judging from the track laying in that field), haha. But considering Arrow Suspendeds are among my favorite types of coasters, this is a welcome addition! The supports look very realistic and I love the surroundings.

Cavs Fan Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 It looks a little short. Other than that, it looks great. Like its interaction with the area and that picture with it above the Rapids ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) 1984 10th Season This is our tenth season of operation! That is very hard to believe! I think this season will be the best ever! - Joseph Reynolds A small concrete area has been added to the entrance plaza. It breaks up the asphalt quite nicely. Vulture's train plunges toward the water. "This is my new favorite coaster at the park" said Susie White. Vulture's station at sunset. Vulture soars high above the lake.

Cavs Fan Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I quit. This is too good. This has to be one of the best parks ever and it is somewhat new. It may not have the same impact as HHE or Shyguy's parks but this is probably better than both of them. I like this park for a few reasons. 1.It is very realistic. 2.It is updated frequently. 3. The pictures, the rides,and the layout of the park is amazing. 4. It is just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
