SoCalCoasters Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 BELL GARDENS ANNOUNCES "THE FACTORY" Union Tribune September 15th, 1977 Today local amusement park Bell Gardens announced an amazing new experience for 1978, dubbed, The Factory, this new attraction will be thrilling guests starting next spring. "It will be an indoor wild mouse style coaster from Miller" says park manager Thomas Heart, "and it will be highly themed, to a derilect factory, left over from the industrial revolution of the late 1800's. The ride will also feature many special effects, provided by Universal Studio in Hollywood.". Heart declined to say how much the attraction would cost, but it is expected that it is more than Thunder Racer, which is the park's set of racing wooden coasters. The Factory will open Spring Break of 1978. Interesting, I like the concept art! Looks highly themed to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalCoasters Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 January 5, 1978 Journal Entry It's been several long months, but the trackwork for The Factory was completed last week, and today it took it's first test run! While the ride is complete, the theming is not, and it may take a while to finish up theming the ride, hopefully, it'll be finished by March....

SoCalCoasters Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Note: I recently had a member of this site use my work and post it as his own creation, without my permission. Now I don't mind if you use my work, but I would appreciate it if I could aprrove of it before hand, or, you know, you could make your own creation . As opening day quicky approaches, a new logo for the factory has been released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I love it. Keep up the good work buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Nice, but maybe you should work on a logo that can stand out on its own, and not have to have that background to make it complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hello Everyone, This is Alexander (SoCalCoasters) I'm sorry to inform that Bell Gardens will be on hold until the beginning of June. School work has been getting in the way of updates and park building. The Factory's indoor theming is nearly complete. I just need to finish the exterior structure and station/queue . If anyone would be interested in creating a better logo for my new coaster, please contact me. The Factory should be posted this weekend, and then I will go into hibernation for around a month (maybe less). The Factory is quite a large project, and took much longer than I had originally anticipated. I am sorry for such a long delay. This project, in my opinion, is my greatest creation so far. I created a fantastic NCS indoor roller coaster. I hope to impress you with my work as soon as possible. To all my devoted followers (if I have any ) Don't give up on this thread. Over the summer, I hope to get Bell Gardens through the 80's and into the early 90's. The plan is actually finish the park completely this summer, but to update the park with planned updates prepared over the summer. This way, you will be able to view my work regularly, and I won't be stretched for time and release a half baked job. I hope to create an NCS Masterpiece that everyone will be impressed with! Wish Me Luck! -SoCalCoasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak96 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Wow, you've done a really good job there, especially as your using no custom scenery. I can't wait to see what you have in store for the next update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califolf Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Admittedly, The Factory is very well done! I'd say that you've managed to properly attach a theme to a generic stock ride (wild mouse) in a way that brings a unique experience ^.^ And I must say, I think I have been inspired to make a dark ride in RCT3 as well because of this. Excellent job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
