Shizukana Island Resort [RCT3]

Ccron10 · November 18, 2010

It's been awhile since I've posted a new RCT Park and with the offseason setting in, this seems like the perfect time. Before anyone asks, my Hersheypark Recreation is still alive and won't be cancelled.

This park doesn't have a name yet, but the park's setting is on a tropical island off of the Japanese Coast. I've kind of always wanted to do a theme park in Japan and I kind of also wanted to re-do my Pearl Island park, so this combines the two.

Right now the entry island (which will get a name soon) is 90% finished and features the main ferry dock to the mainland in which all guests will enter on, the park entrance (which is missing a roof), the main hotel (for the time-being) which holds a station to the park's monorail system, hot springs spa, and outdoor cafe patio. The island also holds a ferry station for access to the other islands that are going to be developed.

That's all I have for now.

If you were swimming next to the island, this is what you will see.

In the center is the exit for the resort. Hopefully many happy faces will pass through here after a great day at the park.

This is the hot springs spa for the hotel and the monorail passing through the building. Reminds you of a certain hotel, doesn't it?

Also pro tip, its best to have the icons not be showing when taking a picture

Hello, I am the president of this new island resort called Shizukana Resort (meaning Peaceful Cove in Japanese). I've been in the theme park business for several years and have worked at many parks across Japan such as Fujiku Highland, Yokohama Cosmoworld and Nagashima Spaland. After much fundraising and support, I am proud that my dream on providing the biggest amusement resort in Japan is finally coming to life.

As of right now, I am predicting a January 2011 opening of this amazing resort and a lot of work still needs to be done. Here is an update on what's happening and what's going to happen soon.

These are the only attractions I am allowed to discuss now. All others will be announced shortly.

Shizukana Mine Blaster

This is an Intamin Plug-and-Play coaster that's sure to be a hit with adrenaline junkies and families. It stands around 115 feet from sea-level and reaches speeds of up to 45 mph. Do you dare to uncover the mystery of the island's past?

El Nino Speed Coaster

This coaster is built by Bolliger and Mabillard and is the 3rd tallest coaster in Japan. This speeding bullet reaches speeds of up to 90mph and traverses over most of the island.

Cliff Coaster

Built on the side of the cliff by mack Rides, this powered coaster is sure to be a hit with families.

That's all I'm allowed to announce, but I am going to drop you a hint about the theme of one of our new areas. This anime show has been a big hit in not just Japan, but all over the world!

That's all for now.

The Transportation Center (center) is the destination for the entrance monorail and which will allow you to transfer over to the main island. This line circles the island and has several stops. The Sky Ride station (left) is another way to get around the island. the station for the Shizukana Mine Blaster wooden coaster is on the right.

the main docking point for the main island features a statue of Pegasas and a small queue time board for all the islands attractions. You can see the Mine Blaster coaster in the background.

From the exit path to the ferry, you can see that most of the island has been developped already.

Our architects have decided to go with a more contemporary look for the park.

The Cliff Coaster, manufactured by Mack Rides, is sure to give families and thrillseekers a-like an experience they will never forget!

As you can see from the roof of the upper Sky Ride station, the Cliff Coaster literally rides along a cliff!

To prevent the island from loosing it's peacefull qualities, our engineers have had to implement wierd ways to add rides and attractions.

One of the areas soon to be developed next is this lagoon around El Nino's first drop.

Poke Park at Shizukana Island Resort

Hello again,

We are just about halfway through designing the brand new area called Poke Park: The Pokemon Theme Park. Based largely off of the popular Anime TV show and games, Poke Park will feature a number of rides, shows, and amazing interactive games to bring the popular show and game to life!

Enjoy a ride on the Poke-Go-Round, which is a carrousel themed with pokemon in the place of horses. Next, dare to take on the Pokeball Blaster which is sure to test your stomach! Finally, visit the Silph Company Building to buy all the latest Pokemon gear and battle, collect, and trade your very own, lifelike, (yes life-like!) pokemon!

You can also visit the Pokemon Center (owned by Nintendo) and buy whatever you want in Pokemon!

We are still developing the area, so expect much more to come!

Poke Park will consist of the Silph Company being built on the big concrete slab at the bottom of the screen. You can see the Pokemon Center and Pokeball Blaster coaster already mostly built. Our sign shop is currently working on the scenery.

Greetings!

More work has been done inside Poke Park and it kind of makes me feel like a Pokemon trainer when I walk through there. More signs, murals, and little details have been added and some of the rides are finished. The Pokemon Center building is completed and looks like it's straight out of the TV show! We still need to finish the Silph Company building, but the good news is that it now houses a Monorail station. 2 more floors still need to be added for where guests will be able to pick up and battle their own Pokemon as well as an observation deck to view the island.

More work has been done on the far-end of the island near El Nino's turnaround. We built a new Inverted Bolliger and Mabillard coaster on the hillside as well as a Zamperla Disko, small theater, and a Jeep Excursion tour that runs along the cliff. It's sure to be a thrilling experience.

Next on our adgenda to add are three more coasters with one of them being for the kids, an amusement pier area on the big beach across from Shizukana Mine Blaster with a bunch of new flat rides and a gigantic ferris wheel, and a new area in the lagoon near the lighthouse peninsula.
