SoCalCoasters Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Hello Mr. Heart, Today is our Press Release for our expansion plans! Hello Everyone I would like to welcome you to Bell Gardens Amusement Park on this fine day. I am extremely pleased to be up here and announcing such a large project for our small, but profitable amusement park. With help from industry giant Scharwzkopf, we are opening three unique attractions over the next few years. This year, we see the addition of the high-flying, thrill seeking, Firework Flyer, which is an Enterprise attraction that will sent guests head over heels, and round and round. The addition of the Firework Plaza will make way for a Summer Night Time Show in 1974. Also for 1974, will be the addition of a very unique attraction, custom made from Schawrzkopf, Magi Maelstrom. This will be an indoor Magic Carpet ride that will disorient you and create feelings of weightlessness! The ride will have light and sound effects! And for our final purchase, we present to you: KITANZI A Triple Looping, first of it's kind ride! Kitanzi means loop in Swahili, and is sure to have guests coming back time and time again. The ride will be the last part of this massive expansion, and will feature it's own plaza, just over the railroad tracks. Now ladies and genteman, please enjoy the Firework Flyer! Shot0161.bmp This is going to be our first postcard picture! So perfect when put in this perspective. Shot0162.bmp Here is the land clearing for Magi Malestrom! Shot0163.bmp This ride looks fantastic! Shot0164.bmp I cannot wait to go for a "spin". Hahaha! Shot0165.bmp The queue goes right under the ride itself! Shot0166.bmp Just look at all the parts this ride has! Shot0167.bmp It's finished testing, why don't we ride! Shot0170.bmp The begining is quite fun! Shot0169.bmp But now we begin to rise! Shot0168.bmp This will be a hit! Edited December 17, 2010 by SoCalCoasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueerRudie Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Socal- Love the new Enterprise- very cool idea to put the queue under the ride itself- I've not thought of doing that with a flat ride before... (hmmmm... stealing idea....) Keep it up- looking forward to Anton's return to your park- R.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 May 14th, 1974 Dear Mr. Heart, I am happy to say that we just finished installing all the ride hardware inside Magi Maelstrom's building! Would you like to come out and have a test ride? Oh Mr. Heart, I almost didn't see you! I assume yo would like to try the new attraction? Haha of course you would! Shot0172.bmp The building is quite impressive for a price tag a two million is it not? Shot0173.bmp I love how the towers appear as if they were off in the distance! Shot0174.bmp The new "Cupid Gardens" in the queue look fantastic! I actually had Disneyland call me abou hiring out some of my Garden staff, by with Magi Maelstrom needing to be completed, this came first. Shot0175.bmp Another beautiful addition to our park's collection of gardens. Shot0176.bmp Quite a tall building, it's basically a large facade since the ride is very skinny! Shot0177.bmp It's so detailed! Shot0178.bmp Oh, the front entrance is closed off due to construction, but we can use the back entrance. Shot0179.bmp We really tired to make it look like a palace, I think we did a terrific job! Shot0180.bmp Ah, here it is, the entrance blends right in doesn't it? Shot0181.bmp Here we are, Magi Malestrom! Shot0182.bmp The ride looks great! Anton has really outdone himself with this fantastic attraction! Shot0183.bmp I can't wait to get the feeling of weightlessness on these drops! Shot0184.bmp The floor has a very complex pattern! Shot0186.bmp This ride is pretty disorienting in the dark! Shot0187.bmp The roof has some great views that the public can't get! Shot0188.bmp The towers look fantastic! Shot0189.bmp The building gives a great view of the gardens and queue! Well I had better head out Mr. Heart, I have an important meeting with Anton about Kitanzi's Location! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califolf Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Not bad, I love the queue and Facade! Keep it up! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 To Mr. Thomas Heart, May 9th, 1975. Dear Mr. Heart, I am sorry to report that Kitanzi will not be opening this year, as the opeening has been pushed back until Revolution, Ktianzi's future brother at Magic Mountain opens next year. In the meantime, our guests will be able to eat in our new dining establishment! Bell's Cafe! Your Friend, Alexander Knight Hello Mr. Knight, I almost didn't see you! The Bell's Cafe doesn't open for another twenty minutes, why don't we have a look around! Shot0192.bmp Firework Flyer is still a great ride! Shot0193.bmp Here it is, the Bell's Cafe! Shot0194.bmp I love the way it turned out! It Sells Subs and Steak Sandwhiches. Shot0195.bmp There's the counter where you order. Shot0196.bmp The new Cafe even has new restrooms! Shot0197.bmp Let's ride Firework Flyer! Shot0198.bmp I love watching this ride go! Shot0199.bmp The park looks so different now! I had better head out, see you later!

SoCalCoasters Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 To Mr. Thomas Heart March 19, 1976 Hello Hello Hello Mr Heart! I'm extremely pround to introduce to you our newest attraction, new for out tenth season, Kitanzi. This looping coaster from Anton Schwarzkopf sends you screaming upside-down THREE times! All three inversions are vertical loops and you just have a lap=bar to keep you in. I'm so excited for the opening of this beast! Would you like to see it test? Testing begins this Saturday, adn will open the following Friday for a Midnight Auction event! Your Very Excited Friend, Alexander Knight Mr. Heart! So great to see you out here to watch Kitanzi test! Shot0203.bmp Something new dominates the back of the park across the new railroad track bridge! Shot0204.bmp Getting closer to the beast! Shot0205.bmp I present to you: Kitanzi Shot0206.bmp There it goes, through the first loop! Shot0207.bmp Being able to walk under the ride and not being a staff member is pretty interesting don't you think? Shot0208.bmp Here it comes after the second set of Block Brakes! Shot0209.bmp Around the banked turn! Shot0210.bmp Through the final curves! Shot0211.bmp The brake run allows for 3-4 trains to run at oce. Once the work shed has been compeleted, we'll be able to run that many! Shot0212.bmp This ride is quite massive! I love how each loop is a different color! Shot0213.bmp Here's the ride from the outskirts of the park! Shot0214.bmp he view from the Block Brakes is very different, and gets you up close and personal with the ride! Shot0215.bmp The goes a train on the lower block section! Shot0216.bmp I am going to love this attraction! Shot0217.bmp Loops, the new big thing for roller coasters. Shot0218.bmp Well, it's getting late, and I have to get back to the office to finish up some test logs. See you later Mr. Heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I really think the colour of the track should really be more colourful, because with the colours of the loops it really seems odd. I like the idea of the ride though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdub96 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Well done on the layout. Those Olympia Looping/Mind Bender (Alberta) compact Kopf coasters can be difficult at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalCoasters Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hello Mr. Heart! So good to see you here this afternoon getting ready for the Midnight First Ride! Shot0219.bmp People are already in line, even the ones who won the first ride auction tickets! I still can't believe you won the two front seats! Shot0220.bmp This queue is going to be filled since we can currently only run two trains, the rain delayed the work on the storage shed for the trains. Shot0221.bmp I just love the way the streamlined trains look! Shot0222.bmp It's getting dark, is that rain? I hope not! Shot0223.bmp Are you ready Mr. Heart? Shot0224.bmp Here we go! Shot0225.bmp And away we goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Shot0226.bmp This loop is incredible! Shot0227.bmp Through the first set of brakes! Shot0228.bmp The second loop! The third! Shot0229.bmp Second block section! Shot0230.bmp Through the banked turn! Shot0231.bmp The helix is so intense!! I love this ride! Shot0232.bmp And the brakes! I must say, this was a fantastic addition for our tenth year of operation! Shot0234.bmp Here's the progress of the shed through the light rain! Shot0233.bmp See you later this year for the tenth year celebration; our first Fireworks show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 OUT-FREAKIN'-STANDING! The new Schwarzkopf is a TRUE gem. VERY nice layout, stays true to what Anton would have wanted, and looks very good... That having been said, a color change for the track/supports is in order: The current color is too 'meh' with the vibrant loops- Perhaps a nice yellow beam, with bright blue rails, and silver supports- Otherwise, I'd love to see an on-ride video of it! Great work! R.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalCoasters Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 BREAKING NEWSUnion Tribune August 9, 1977 Passing of a Tycoon We have just received word that the general manager, and owner of local theme park Bell Gardens, Alexander Knight, passed away in his office from a heart attack yesterday afternoon. Mr. Knight's good friend Thomas Heart talked with us about how he met Knight, and what he thinks about the whole situation. "It's tragic, Alexander had just proposed and was planning on getting married in the new Event Pavilion that is going into the park next year. As for the rest of the park? I'm not sure who it was left to, or who will take over the roll of GM for the park. I met him on the day the park opened ten years ago...the [park] has changed drastically in these ten years, and I hope it will prosper for many more." Knight was just 42 when he passed yesterday. His will was read this morning, and to everyone's surprise, Mr. Heart had been left the park, as well as a recommendation for the position of General Manager. His wife-to-be was left his house and a large sum of money. The entire community will gather a Bell Gardens in two weeks for a memorial celebration, and the christening of the pavilion, with will be named in honor of Knight. This is a new chapter in Bell's history, but will Mr. Heart be up to the challenge? (unknown person): That's a shame, I'll have to attend the memorial...Mr. Knight was a great guy.
