Bell Gardens [RCT3]


Recommended Posts

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

BREAKING NEWS

Union 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.

Journal Entry by Thomas Heart:

 

August 12,1977

 

But things have been in turmoil over the past three days since the death of Knight. I'm quite surprised he left ME the park to manage... I'm sure if I have what it takes to make a theme park work...

 

I found Knight's favorite pictures from Bell Gardens from over the years, and I thought I'd put them here:
