f1fan12 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 April 12th,1980 Hello, I am Joe George, Public Realations Manger of the new Montgomery Gardens Amusment Park, here in Montgomery Alabama. My job is to give you the info about what is going on in the park. Even though our opening day is still three weeks away, I will show you around the park as our fine staff prepares for the season. This is the main entrance building, it contains, information areas, restrooms, cash machines, as well as the ticket booths. Behind that is the main square. This is the Amusement Square, containing the Grand Wheel, Carousel, Octupus ride and Scramblur. This area we think will atract the whole family. Say hello to Sawmill Falls, designed by world renound amusment ride designers, Arrow Dynamics, this flume ride will take you into a sawmill then up a 40ft incline then splashing you down into a pool of water. This is one of two rides in the Calamity Mine section of the park. We know this ride will be a family hit, Riders must be 46 inches tall to ride, 36 inches with a responsible adult. This is Coal Miner, also located in Calamity Mine, this Arrow Dynamics Mine Train Coaster, speeds along its track, having countless near misses and a helix that will test even the toughest coaster challengers. Riders must be 48 inches tall to ride, this ride also may not allow larger riders. This is our vintage car attraction, riders will be able to drive along gardens and beautiful landscapes in a car that resembles a car from the early 1900's, this will be another family hit. Our final ride is our largest. Thundershock, standing at a dizzying 125ft tall, is the tallest coaster in the South. And it will test anyone who rides it, Desinged by Al Collins, and Jeff Gramke, and built by Charles Dinn, the same man who constructed, The Beast at Kings Island in Ohio. You must be 48 inches tall to ride. Well the park is getting ready for opening day, we hope to see ya there. -Joe G. Please give me suggestions as this is my first "real" park.

RCT2day Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 First, welcome to TPR. For this being your first "real" park, you've got talent. I see some parks thrown around that people call their "first" and they aren't close to mediocre. Seriously though, this looks really great by the standard of first parks. Just some suggestions: Never put any track at 0ft, it looks like the coaster doesn't have any supports (Thunder Shock, Coal Miner, and Thundershock from what I saw). Also, that first drop on tThundershock looks a bit extreme, try making the first hill after the lift just like 10-20ft less as a general rule. Your scenery skills look pretty good; buildings, supports, trees, and gardens are all great. Your style reminds me of my first park here, just keep at the game and I can guarantee you'll produce fantastic results (you have a great start already).

f1fan12 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'll do some upgrading, actually the scenary and the buildings was what I was most concered about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 As one of the game forum mods here, Welcome! Glad to always see new blood around here. About you park, I want to echo a few of the things that RCT2day advised to you, but the one thing I would recommend is—landscaping. Don’t be afraid to add some elevation differences in you park, because it can add more aesthetics, like on your mine train coaster, for example. Imagine that coaster coming out of the mountains after a long journey in the dark (building underground actually adds to a coaster’s excitement rating). You have the creative skills, so adding a more defined landscape, and accompanying foliage will bring in more life to the overall park. It’s a very nice start.

RCTrioFan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 WELCOME! I like your park, it seems nice. Reminds me of molemaster42's park. But I am bursting with criticism. Here goes- Change those flowers at the enterance to full tile or quarter tile. Those flowers.. well... just look plain weird clumped together like that. Also, add more trees and bushes, liven it up a bit. You should probably not overuse that brick wall roof, because it looks repetitive and boring. If you wan to keep that look, maybe mix it up with abstract roofing and canvas roofing. Put some fences around that ferris wheel and change the land look under the carousel. And I understand landscaping is tedious without 8cars, but I think it makes it look 10x better. Looks goood though, I hope you enjoy TPR and I think this can shape into a great park!

f1fan12 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 RCTTrio- The next update will have more flowers and the Landscape will be adapted, the storyline will develop, and the landscaping will change due to the additions of new rides. I wanted it to seem like the park is more focused on rides at first. May 3rd 1980 Hi viewers Joe here, its opening day here at Montgomery Gardens, a few things has happend since I last updated so lets take a look. First, here is the entrance building, people piled into the park and were treated to free balloons. The thrill seekers in the park were overjoyed with Thundershock Sawmill Splashdown is so popular, we had to add more boats and lower the interval time between dispatches Coal Miner had some updates to it, fans love it. If timing is just right, two trains will have a flybye in the near miss crossover. Heres somthing different. These two rides, Swashbuckler and Teacups were suppost to arrive with the other flat rides. But a delay caused these two rides to come 2 weeks ago. They are still undegoing testing, so these two wern't running today. The theming on Swashbuckler was a suprise to me, I never had even heard about it. But, In 3 weeks time the park didn't do to shabby of a job. I have also been told that the flowers around Scramblur will be replaced by some other type of theming. I am hoping natural trees, because the Alabama lanscape doesnt have much. Garden cars, like Sawmill Splashdown, has needed extra vehicles to supplement the crowds. It has been extremely popular, with the guests. Thundershock broke down later in the day. What might be going here? This will also be a sight of future development. The Amusment Square is quite popular. Another picture of the Amusment Square The day ended out with Thundershock being fixed and flying down the 125 ft hill.

RCTrioFan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 VERY NICE! Awesome! I hope you took the flowers into consideration as they are an eyesore. I wonder what the site will behold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkMaxim Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 One thing i notice, on Thundershock the supports could use some revisions; in some parts they are higher than the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1fan12 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 June 27th 1980 "MG81?" Hello everyone, its been 2 months since I last updated, I have been very busy with "MG81." The codename for third roller coaster opening 1981, construction has also started and alot of landscaping has been done to its site. Crates have arrived and some track has been erected, leaving coaster lovers serching for clues. Anyway, here is today's park update. Our day starts off with the park entrance On a hot day like this, It would have suprise me if Sawmill Splashdown wasn't filled Amusment Square is busy today Swashbuckler and Teacups are attracting huge crowds Heres an interesting addition, 2 of 4 new rides will be located in this new area. Swashbuckler was an instant hit with families. Now, on to the fun stuff, MG81's station has been finished If your a real coaster nut, you'd know what manufacture this coaster is. This is the completed transfer track. Also, see the pools of water. More track and supports have been sent from Clearfield Utah, hint hint.. and are stored next to the site. To end out the update, here's Coal Miner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 An Arrow corkscrew is the only reasonable roller coaster for this time period to use that track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1fan12 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) March 28th 1981 Hello, its Joe, It has been forever since I have updated you on what is going in the park. It is only a week till opening day for our second season of operation. So here is the basic update: 5 new rides, including 1 new coaster, located by Thundershock and other 4 rides are added toward the back of the park. So here is the adapted list. - Palkia- Manufactured by Arrow Dynamics of Clearfeild Utah, it flips you upside down 4 times, 3 of these inversions are revolutionary. The ride is themed after an ailen codenamed Palkia, who attacks the earth. You must be 48 inches tall to ride Palkia. -Dodgems- Classic Bumper Car attraction. You must be 48 inches tall to ride, 46 with an adult. -Chairswing- This gentle swing ride gently swings you around it's axis. You must be 48 inches tall to ride, 42 with an adult sitting on the outside. Rowing Boats- Located in the lake, this boat ride can be as long as you want, and is a very relaxing ride. You must be 48 inches tall to ride, 46 inches tall with a life jacket, 36 with an adult Swan Pedal Boats- Take a trip around our lake in a four man swan. See Rowing Boats for ride requirements. Anyway on to the photos The main entrance looks lonely without people This is the Dodgems ride. I have heard from my bosses that the buildng is only temporary, and a new building could be built. The lake will sure be popular with families wanting to relax. Chairswings are also new for 1981,and my bosses also said somthing special maybe coming to this ride. Here's the newest coaster to Montgomery Gardens, Palkia, this piece of twisted metal is so twisty that the 3 trains had to go back to the manufacturer for some changes. 2 of the trains (Green and Blue) have returned but Red still is out at the manufacturer.I'm hoping Red will return for opening day. Palkia is a Martian that lands on Earth and causes havoc to all Earthlings. The Signature element of Palkia is the Batwing. I hope to see you on opening day. P.S. I hope I have more updates.

accelerate Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Pokémon reference! Looks promising, but you may want to do a complete revision of Palkia's layout, because Arrow just never did "Spaghetti Bowl" layouts. A classic corkscrew layout would fit much more nicely and look better. Take my advice witha grain of salt; the layout reminds me of my old ones.

A classic corkscrew layout would fit much more nicely and look better. Take my advice witha grain of salt; the layout reminds me of my old ones. There's a Pokemon reference. I just randomly picked a cool sounding name. I actually liked the layout, its not very Arrow, but its meant to be a step to the left of the rest.

f1fan12 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Opening day 1981 is here, Joe here, and let me show you what is going on in the park on this sunny May day. Well The main entrance plaza is flooding with guests, all heading for the new attractions. The amusment square's new ride is well, not popular yet. But the park isn't very crowded today. Palkia's first few riders seem to like it. Palkia was a huge gamble by manfuacture, Arrow Dynamics. They never have designed such a complex layout before, and this was a totaly new type of design for them. Arrow told us, "Where not out of the woods yet, we have to see how it ages." But to be honest, as of now, it is a succsess. Palkia, has some interesting inversions. A Batwing, and a corkscrew, first drop, makes for a 1 in a kind ride ride. Our final image for today is the quiet lake. We will be holding a contest to name the lake, and the winner will get a free season pass. So think up some names. Thats all for today. -Joe Edited January 28, 2012 by f1fan12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
