Don't start a thread without photos. No pics, no clicks. (I've been looking for an excuse to say that.)

I am very busy with work, (those pesky, needy mermaids!), but I have managed to squeeze a few hours at the park.

 

I have some Windseeker and Wilde Maus updates for you.

 

Windseeker track and 'cables' have been installed: (might not be able to see them very well.)

 

Ride area for Windseeker has been "poured".

 

Wilde Maus track is complete:

While I'm impressed with your park as a whole, your Windseeker is the most interesting aspect of it. I am curious how you plan on making it spin and lift at the same time.

Did you design that Wild Mouse? It looks great!

Our four open air excursion cars for Beech Acres Express has been delivered:

 

 

 

Been a while since I have updated this, but I have gotten to work on it a little.

 

Wild Maus now has queue, exit stairs, entrance, photo booth, lighting and perimeter fencing.

 

The main entrance area is taking shape:

 

A new restaurant and restroom have been constructed:

 

Little Beast still undergoing it's paint transformation. Testing has begun in the meantime:

 

The train station has received platform extensions to accommodate up to 4 cars, and a tunnel was added:

New rides and stuff added!

 

Since my last update, I have gotten a few more things for the model.

 

A carousel:

 

Thunder Bolt: Construction photos.

 

New locomotive for Beech Acres Express:

 

SkyRide building has been added:

Some of those buildings have a crazy level of detail. Did you buy them as part of a set?

 

- Saw the updates on Facebook. Pretty impressive project you have going there. I'll be interested in seeing your take on bigger coasters.

Electricity has been turned on for the SkyRide station.

 

Lighting was added, and electricity turned on at the train station.

SkyRide building was bought as you see it. No box. Seen it at a train store, and knew it was perfect!

 

The train station, games, wooden Coca-Cola stand, coasters, carousel, and Thunder Bolt are all from kits. The Burger Bar was already built ready to go.

 

The Coca-Cola stand is my favorite building of the entire project so far. So much detail!

 

It is laser cut balsa wood, and smells incredible where it was cut with the laser!

My God!

 

How did I miss this!? I adore miniature sets

 

The wild mouse captures the esscenece of the wild mouse, colors look good too. I think it's neat how the park is circled by the train, there is some nice detail with that as well. The shops and buildings are what impress me the most, really captures the realism. Love this little park and hope to see more!
