coasterdude5 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) 1979 As we move forward this season it's a true pleasure to see the park performing so well. Our guests are happy and our employees are happy. That's the perfect scenario. We are beginning to look into options for next year. As we enter the new decade, we are looking for something that uses cutting-edge technology. As a member of the park board, we are asking you: what new attraction do you want to see next year? I am eagerly awaiting your responses. - Joseph Reynolds One of my favorite shots of the park. It showcases two-thirds of our coasters! I'll leave you with this artistic shot of Heatwave's rear spike.

kidcoaster 2 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Dark Ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClarke0912 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 A classic Arrow looping coaster that resembles Ninja @ SF: STL or some other kind of smaller multi-looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavs Fan Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 A 390 ft giga coaster from Intamin with a cable lift . No, but really, maybe some ski lift, like the one at Knoebels or a mild flat ride. Even better, an Arrow Looper with Interlocking loops, like Orient Express.

coaster1000 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 ^ No. Aquatrax. Awesome! Heatwave looks incredibly realistic - would you mind if I asked you what custom scenery you used for the entrance gates at the stations? I can't wait to see more of this park, and I really enjoy your updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparebear75 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Since we are talking 1980, an Arrow 4 or 5 looper? Rapids Ride? Pirate Ship? All seem fitting for the era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClarke0912 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Yeah, get an Arrow. They were incredibly popular around this time. Like I said...similar to Ninja @ SF: STL or a smaller version of Anaconda @ King's Dominion. Just make it on the smaller-ish side (like not 150 ft tall) and have multi-inversions (about 4 or 5). That'd be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) 1979 Hello! It's the later part of the season... these hot sticky late-July days seem to be the longest of the year. The guests are cranky as are the employees. But thankfully we have some activity going on in the park that's keeping everyone on their toes. - Joseph Reynolds Wait a moment, this isn't the photograph you were looking for! Ah, that's better. This large plot of land will soon be home to a rather large attraction. Unfortunately we will be removing these restroom facilities to make way for the ride's entrance. Stay tuned!

Vintage Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I think it looks great. When I had RCT3 my favorite thing to make was the waterslides, and water rides. Kinda reminds me of that Grizzly River Run thing at DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) 1980 Today was Gully River Rapids' preview day. Season pass holders and members of the media were invited to the park to test out the new attraction. The park will officially open tomorrow. The weather is great and it's looking to continue over the weekend. New signage and fresh paint don the entrance plaza buildings. Gully River Rapids' station stands tall over "Gully Gulch". We decided to offer lockers so that guests could secure their valuables because getting drenched on this ride is a guarantee! Those who choose to take a journey down Gully River will pass through numerous rock formations and even a tunnel! Watch out for the waterfall, it's a doozy! A guest enters the Gully River Rapids queue dry. This must be his first time to ride! Gully River Rapids is even more exciting to ride at night. You won't be quite sure which direction the water's coming from! I hope to see you tomorrow at the grand opening!
