liftsifter Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Unknown Park Six years ago, a large chain company wanted to construct an amusement park, so they started construction here. The company fell under new management who didn't want to pursue the amusement park. The park was abandoned, leaving buildings, rides and products sitting around with no owner. Even this immaculate ferris wheel was installed completely, yet now is missing gondolas and needs severe work. Huge plots of land were unearthed just to lay empty for years. Record breaking rides at the time, were never operated, and were eventually surpassed. Now, the park's signature attraction lays dormant. The city of Gladas Heights will vote to have the property leveled on November 1. Something inside of me wants this park to have a second chance. Only time may tell us..

B.A.B Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I love that Shockwave reacreation, this park though is very nice even though it is not open. Keep up the good work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liftsifter Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Jason Thompson I've received word that all the recent activity at the site of the park is from a developer known as Jason Thompson. I contacted Jason with a request for more information. He responded with a job offer in Public Relations and some photos of the park. I accepted his offer and I'm starting in just a few days. I'll be keeping you all up to date. I thought I'd tease you with some photos: A new Intamin creation will grace the park come May 30th! (Name pending..) Testing has begun on the newly revamped water flume, Vortex. With a new coat of paint and trains, Typhoon will shock riders with seven inversions! Also, just a small detail, the park will open on May 30th as Thrill Mountain Amusement Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 This park reminds me a lot of a park posted over on Atari's website called CPG: http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=588921 The park being rebuilt and redone bit by bit. Remember, atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere! Dont forget about those small buildings and areas that add into the guest experience. You can do it!

liftsifter Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Heating Up Things are heating up here as there's only ONE WEEK until opening day! Wow how the days have flown past us! I was authorized to share a few photos from last night's testing session: Soar at speeds of up to 70mph after a heart pounding launch on Demon's Inferno! Things are still hot across the pond at Typhoon with seven inversions! But, it's finally time to cool off over at Vortex with a bone chilling 65ft drop! Demon's Inferno is blazing over here! More in just a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molemaster43 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Demon's Inferno is looking really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak96 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I love the custom supports on Typhoon, And I'm loving the overall atmosphere in this park! My only criticism would be that I think you have to many cars on Demon's Inferno, Maybe consider shortening it down to 7 per train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 David, Your parks never seem to dissapoint. I hope you can keep this one going, as I'm a huge fan of your projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liftsifter Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Opening Day Well, the big day is here, the park has had it's grand opening, and we've opened the doors to over 10,000 unique guests on our first day of operations! We're very excited for the future of the park, and we know you will be too. Yes, I know something you don't know and I'll be teasing you forever! Onto the pictures: Unfortunetly, Demon's Inferno just isn't ready for opening. We won't open a ride unless we know it's 110% safe! Many families enjoyed this garden as an area to cool off from the heat this weekend! The Typhoon is here! Riders absolutely LOVE Typhoon! many chose Vortex to help relieve themselves from the immense heat! The unique backwards drop creates an insane sensation of disbelief! While not the tallest Ferris Wheel in the world, ours is quite a stunner! Without a doubt, riders are in for a treat! (A bitter-sweet treat!!) King Chaos is a true chaos machine! Even though Demon's Inferno was closed, the effects and trains were testing all day, we're aiming for a mid-June opening! The story is one of tragedy. This aircraft crashed into a construction site in an industrial district. We plan to theme all of our rides! Vortex is one nice water flume! Be prepared to endure the Demon's Inferno! More VERY soon!

liftsifter Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 June 30 Demon's Inferno Now Open!

We're please to present to you, yet another update of the happenings at Thrill Mountain! We're no responsible for the loss of your soul. We're already hard at work on the future of the park. I can guarantee BIG things! A midway full of happy guests! Even more clearing?! We are up to something, aren't we! Now, to leave you with a smile!

BaMiTsPaT Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I love that intamin wing coaster! Also, the simplicity of the flume ride is actually refreshing, and I love the fish on the sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
