[RCT3] America's Adventures- 1975-76: The Inagural Update

TheCoasterGod3 · September 11, 2014

Well, I'm back.....and yes, I've got me another park. And this time I'm going to attempt to do what Frontier Forest is doing right now.

Make a timeline park......Only I'll be doing it in RCT3. Why RCT3?, Because I'd like to go one step beyond.

Now here's a few things i'm gonna warn you about....

1. I'm going to start from 1975 all the way up to whenever I get bored. Now since this is 2014, I'll ask the readers that if they want to see the park go on after 2014.

2. My RCT3 skills may be good, but I'm no Hershey's Hawaii. So bear with me ok?

3. There will be quotes from the owner and stuff in my own words. So that's so we'll make sense....Ok so that last sentence made no sense. MOVING ON!

4. I always like feedback. It's what makes a park successful in my opinion, So I'd like to hear about what YOU the people have to say about the park. Be it feedback, an idea, criticism, or even a trip report!

5. Please....don't expect anything consistant out of me. I'm just a 13 year old teen.

6. I will attempt to be as real as possible so.......

A. I will start out at $100,000. No real park has infinite money.

B. I will only construct coasters that are in said time frame. So don't expect a B&M Giga on 1990.

Now let's begin...

America's Adventures was first born as a playground in 1952 on a 25x35 pile of unused land by George P. Ruthman. It was a place for kids to have fun while their parents did their stuff. Now why was the name America's Adventures? Well for one thing they were in Colorado, and each day's a whole new adventure there, and second because it was America. Now it was very popular to begin for kids and adults, but soon George P. Ruthman sold his playground to his son Michael T. Ruthman, and he thought big....he thought....What if I could somehow turn this into an family amusement park and yet still keep the ol' charm the playground had?.....

Well, he found a way and he decided to call the people from PTC, Anton Schwarzkopf and the world renowned Arrow Dymanics and they starting talking on plans for rides at his new creation.....Of course the town had a restriction. No ride could go beyond 200 feet....

And then......tragedy struck. George P. Ruthman died of a heart attack on July the 1st, 1974. Michael went into mourning and made a solemn vow to continue the success his father had.

The owner had thought of keeping a balance between the coasters and the other rides and so he order 4 coasters and 4 flat rides, He asked for a wooden coaster, a wooden wild mouse (the last of it's kind.), a chairswing, a merry go round, a haunted house ride, a slide and two big firsts in amusement park history. The first modern coaster to ever have a loop, and the first ever Corkscrew roller coaster. Now these looping coasters would have a clothoid loop instead of a perfect loop or a teardrop loop like the last two times.

Now what was the first step? To keep the playground........BUT....to move it to a new place in Colorado. Now the place was set for the park, and all throughout 1975, the people just kept building and building and building until finally it was ready.

The owner has promised a new ride every year to keep interest up.
