JonnyRCT3 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 The next update may be a while. I'll try to get it in by the weekend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think that Valley Hills should start having a Haunt event one of these days. The park looks large enough to support one.  Would love to see a haunt update. They are fun to do  Park looks great so far! The new concept pieces look pretty solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 ^Not to steer the thread off topic, but I read through the Illum Hills thread and I'd love to see a similar haunt at Valley Hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFNE Fan Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I also agree about doing a haunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiCraft2011 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 A Haunt sounds like a good idea. Perhaps we'll see a Scary Hills event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Love the backwards POV!!! I feel that this coaster would be similar to BTR backwards in how intense it is! The park looks great! Keep up the good work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I apologize for the sudden & long hiatus. I've been rather busy with real life and haven't found the time to spend hours on RCT3. Fortunately, there will be an update sometime this week. Â Â As a token of my appreciation for the continued support, I will release these older images. Â (hint: not Rattle Snake) Â Â First person to correctly guess the debut year, original name, and manufacturer (if it applies) of all the attractions pictured will receive an exclusive sneak peek of what's to come next year.

Rattlesnake Refreshments, 1977, (No manufacturer) 3. Gladiator, 1987, Intamin  Correct. (I fixed that hiccup, it is indeed 1984) Reward is in PM box  Glad to see this park's still alive. For next year, I think there will be a flat ride of some kind. A "flat" slab of concrete is in the works...take that for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thursday, June 23, 2009 Â David Trust - park spokesperson It has been an entire month since the last update, and today we will get right back into things staring with a 25 year celebration! Â Â Buccaneer and Wild Waters celebrate their 25th year here at Valley Hills. Â Â Buccaneer, a family favorite for most groups, has entertained millions of guests over the years. Â Â Valley Hills specifically designed the rides around each other so they could interact evenly. Even with Buccaneer's monstrous capacity, it still manages a 10-15 minute wait on most days. Â Â View from atop Wild Waters. Â Â One of the lesser known attractions around the park, Dodge Em'. Most guests don't realize it when passing by due to it being secluded by trees. Â Â However, Dodge Em' really packs a punch with its intense "car crash" inducing thrills. Come check it out! Â Â Don't forget to get some rides in on the newly refurbished Rattle Snake roller coaster. Did I mention it now runs backwards!?
