[RCT3] Michigan's Wonderland

[Reality15]

 

Please read:

Michigan's Wonderland is based off of Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon, Michigan, from its introduction of its first major roller coaster through the 2008 introduction of Thunderhawk.

 

Year 26 - 31 is a look back at the archives of Michigan's Wonderland, when the park was known as Deer Park Funland. I'm going to do these quickly, sometimes even one or two posts per year to catch up to the current storyline, Year 32.

 

That being said, I hope you enjoy my look at the history of this great park I've gotten to enjoy for two decades.

YEAR 26 ARCHIVES - PRESEASON

==================================================

 

Press Release: "Rob Jordan to purchase Deer Park Funland"MUSKEGON, MICH - Local entrepreneur Rob Jordan has big plans for the former Deer Park petting zoo, with hopes of someday transforming it into a grand regional amusement park.

 

"Deer Park has always been a great place for families to come and spend time together. My goal is to keep that family atmosphere and transform it into an amusement park everyone can enjoy," said Jordan.

 

The park will open for Year 26 with a new name, Deer Park Funland. Jordan hopes the name will give visitors the impression that "there is more to do than just see the deer here."

 

Update:

 

Welcome to Deer Park Funland! My name is Bob Donaldson, Public Relations Manager for Deer Park Funland. My job is to bring you the latest information and pictures from what goes on here at Deer Park Funland.

 

Workers are getting everything ready for the Year 26 season. Flowers have been planted and maintenance has been getting all the rides ready to go.

 

The Dog House staff has been cooking their fresh-cut french fries all week long. I can't wait to get my hands on some!

 

The best way to see Deer Park Funland is by riding the Ferris Wheel, our tallest ride. I wouldn't expect it to be our largest for too much longer, however...

 

Pretty soon the deer will come back out for our visitors to feed and pet. The deer were the original draw for the park since Year 1.

 

Mutley's Putt Putts are all gassed up and ready to go for the season. We hope to see you opening day!

 

Deer Park Funland opens for the season tomorrow, we hope to see you there!

Looking good.

[Cavs Fan]

Looks nice. I would visit this place with my family if it was real. It seems like a nice local park.

I like Muttly's Putt Putts!

 

Very nice start. Do we get to learn about years 1 through 25?

Thanks for the responses! As far as Years 1 - 25, I didn't bother building them as they are mostly pre-rides. It's based on Michigan's Adventure, which had its start as a petting zoo. Basically I started my timeline right before Corkscrew was introduced, which is coming after the Year 26 season.

The Merry-Go-Round sits right inside the entrance of the park with its great band organ. That wraps things up for opening day, we hope to see you all season long at Deer Park Funland!

The Elephants seem somewhat out of the way right now, hopefully that will also change.

Mutley's Putt Putts is another popular attraction, and almost never has a line thanks to the great crew over there.

The Spider is still our most popular and thrilling ride. Hopefully that will soon change.

The line for the Scrambler filled the entire queue the park was so busy today!

Today is opening day! We're glad to see people coming out and supporting the park, especially with our new owner and his new direction for the park.
