coasterdude5 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) Six Flags built two "Mr. Freeze" coasters in one year. 1995 17th Season Today is Monster Mash Hotel's last day of operation, and its replacement has yet to be announced. I took some photos of Monster Mash Hotel - because in a few days, it will be a thing of the past. I've been told by my "sources" that the ride's building will be completely gutted and even expanded by 25% for the ride's replacement. The ride system was created by a local Charleston company which is no longer in business. Had the ride not been protected inside the builing, it likely would not have been able to reopen after the hurricane. Some of the scenery pieces will be sent to local museums. Heading back towards Mainstreet! The line was still long even as the park was closing. Farewell, Monster Mash Hotel.

coasterdude5 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) 1995 17th Season Today is likely the last day I'll get to visit the park this season. We should be hearing an announcement regarding Monster Mash Hotel's replacement very soon. A boarded up and closed Monster Mash Hotel was a sad sight to see. An afternoon thundershower put a damper on many of the park activity. Thankfully the rain cleared after a couple of hours. The carousel's line was unusually long this afternoon! See you next season! - Joe Martin Edited September 9, 2015 by coasterdude5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I really don't get why everybody thinks a B&M Standup is gonna come. If you had any sense, you'd know it's going to be a B&M Floorless in 1999 or 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liftsifter Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I have a feeling it's going to be something like Mantis at CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisal771 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Riddler's Revenge came in 1999 if I recall correctly. Maybe its just because I absolutely loved my 2 rides on Riddler's Revenge on my one sole trip to Magic mountain 4 years ago that I want to see a B&M stand-up.

coasterdude5 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) 1996 Announcement SCOOBY DOO AND THE MYSTERY MANSION TO OPEN AT SIX FLAGS SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1996 Scooby Doo and his gang will take the place of Monster Mash Hotel at Six Flags South Carolina in 1996. Riders will hop in the Mystery Machine and cruise through the halls and courtyard of the mysterious mansion. The ride will be designed and constructed by ScreamTrax of South Carolina. The ride will be the first of its kind in the nation. "This is a perfect addition to our lineup of attractions," said a Six Flags spokesman. "We want to continue to remain the number one spot in the Carolinas for family entertainment. Some pieces of the former Monster Mash Hotel will be incorporated into the new darkride attraction, including portions of the ride's facade. "We understand that Monster Mash Hotel was a classic for many locals," said the spokesman. "However, upkeep costs were becoming increasingly expensive. We saw a replacement as a more feasible option." The show building that housed Monster Mash Hotel will be expanded by 25% to make way for Scooby Doo and the Mystery Mansion. The ride is expected to open in April of 1996. Also announced today is the return of a well known name of the amusement park - Joseph Reynolds. Reynolds will regain his position as park manager in 1996. "I am so grateful to regain this position. I look forward to spending many more years working with this team and continuing to improve Six Flags South Carolina." Reynolds was the manager of the park for several years when it was known as Charleston Gardens. He worked as the manager of Geauga Lake in Ohio from 1990 to 1995.

andyuk200523 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Awesome - I do love it when the new ride is completely different to what everyone is expecting, this park just gets better and better. You pretty much deserve every award that could be invented to do with RCT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) 1996 18th Season I went to the park at night - I thought it was fitting for a Scooby Doo ride! Unfortunately, Scooby and the gang made an appearance at the park earlier in the day so I missed them by a few hours. While some of Monster Mash Hotel's facade was reused, it's very hard to tell what's old and what's new - the new Mystery Mansion towers over and extends into the midway. A portion of the queue takes guests outside of the "mansion." We're getting closer to the station! The guys at Six Flags were kind enough to allow me to take my camera on the ride. Guests board 12-seat "mystery machines" that take them through the ride. The mystery machines travel through several hallways and corridors of the mansion. I'll have more photos from the ride soon! - Joe Edited September 20, 2015 by coasterdude5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPCrazy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm assuming those ride vehicles are CTR's? I love them as with the rest of the park! This park definitely deserves a Six Flags Hurricane Harbor expansion. You could easily master something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffonj2022 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Yeah aren't those CTRs from the Revolutionary Rides website? They look like them, but still the ride is awesome. Yeah I'm waiting for a waterpark expansion, or some Mr. Freeze clone or something. Can't wait to see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808Freq Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Just caught up with this, as customizing RCT3 is somehow completely new to me. Absolutely amazing is all I can say. 70 pages of updates in a day and now it's going to seriously suck to have to wait for updates. Awesome choice with replacing Mash with the Scooby ride. Looking forward to what's next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) 1996 18th Season Here are some more photos of Scooby Doo and the Mystery Mansion from last week's opening day. The mystery machine travels through various rooms of the mansion, including the study. Throughout the adventure, riders encounter Scooby and the gang several times. The ride is slow moving, but there are several pop-out surprises along the way! The ride is great for the entire family. The mystery machine then heads to the mansion's courtyard... Find out what's in the courtyard tomorrow! - Joe Edited September 21, 2015 by coasterdude5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808Freq Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I need help getting this thing to work. As of right now, I have Wild & Soaked(totally unpatched), and both Net On packs with all the additional CS sets that you listed. I put the picture files in the picture folder like you instructed. I copied the DAT file into C:\Users\Chris\Documents\RCT3\Parks What am I doing wrong? It crashes at 20 percent in loading objects. I'm absolutely sure I have every set on your list.

coasterdude5 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) ^ Hmmm... All I can say is double double check that you have all the CS sets on the list. 1996 18th Season I took a trip to the park today for a quick update, but before I show those photos, here are the remaining photos from my ride on Scooby Doo and the Mystery Mansion. The courtyard scene is the spookiest of them all! Watch out for the ghosts that call the courtyard forest home! There is plenty to look at during this portion of the ride. This is about as much as they would let me see - you'll have to ride the ride for yourself to see everything! It is an excellent addition for the park, indeed. My visit to the park was cut short by a thunderstorm. Perhaps tomorrow will be better! - Joe Edited September 22, 2015 by coasterdude5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) 1996 18th Season Welcome to the official summer season! It's that time of year when the weather gets hotter and the days get even longer! With the park's newest attractions being built seemingly everywhere but within Gardenhill Pass, it's not surprising that the area is empty. Waiting for the Derecho train to return to the station... It's nice to see the sun out! Today's the first day I've been to the park this season where it hasn't been raining! I got some lunch at the Salt Water Cafe before riding a few more rides. The line for Scooby Doo seems to even out later in the day. I figured I would treat my stomach to a ride on Vortex before departing. Bad idea! - Joe Edited September 23, 2015 by coasterdude5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
