nitro4ever Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) This is a park I've been working on for a few weeks now comments and suggestions would be appreciated heres the park entrance in this picture you can see the parks windseeker and observation tower python is one of the parks oldest rides, it was built by arrow dymamics and features 3 inversions the parks scremin swing "blaze" was added a few years ago. it always seems to have a line as you may notice ripcord is new for this year, its expected to open next week theres a small waterpark but it hasn't been open lately. rumors are starting to pop up about a major waterpark expansion next year Edited May 4, 2011 by mcjaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I don't like the length of the arrow coaster's Brake run. Too short! But It looks nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Instead of blacking out the menu items, I'd: 1) leave them in your photos, or 2) Rename a peep David Walsh and then press CTRL + U to remove and bring back the icons.

QueerRudie Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Very interesting so far- but I'd consider adapting the Arrow coaster- for two reasons: As was mentioned before, the brake run is -waaaaay- too short. I'd consider flattening it, and let gravity or 'chain' pushing do the trick. The other is a stickler item I have due to my love of both Arrow and Schwarzkopf coasters: Don't mix the two themes. The overhead box-beam type supports were not used on Arrow coasters- only the cheap Chinese knockoffs use the box-beam supports. Whereas, on the other hand, most of Schwarzkopf's loopers featured the box-beam loops. (I know. I hear it now, it's a stickler issue. But that's me.)

nitro4ever Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 I flattened the brake run and it looks much better than it did before. (picture coming soon) I'm probably going to replace the box beam support on the loop but I haven't decided what style of loop support is going to replace it. I also included some more pictures of various rides around the park. heres the new brake run the falls gets very crowded on hot days wilderness stage is getting a new show this year, not sure what it will be though the park has a hyper coaster too, its called dive bomber the giant wheel, and whats left of wild mouses concrete pad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The new Arrow brake run looks -so- much closer to a real Arrow coaster- it's actually spot-on. The Arrow loop (depending on the year it was built!) would have one of two Arrow structures: The first, is the type you see on the Loch Ness Monster, the Cedar Point Corkscrew and a handful of others- that is, a lattice arch that supports the top of the loop, with four columns underneath (Two on each side) The second loop structure was first featured on the Orient Express, and used on most later models: the four posts underneath, and then a V shaped pair on each side of the loop, joining up midway up the side of the curve.

nitro4ever Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Update: feedback would be appreciated ripcord got landscaping python is getting repainted, the white is primer. you may also notice that the loop is gone, its being replaced because the box beam support was not sturdy enough for trains to be able to run the course of the ride the waterpark is getting rethemed and expanded. it will reopen next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
