The only problem is that to make a real "Thrill Ride" park you would need about 500 million dollars, or half a Billion. IOA was a Billion, and still needs more coasters. ACE doesn't have this kind of money, only a few people do.
If you hit a super lotto, you'd get about 70 million. That's not enough to build 10 rides, with each one costing 20-30 million. I'm talking about the newest hyper/giga coasters.
Six Flags buys existing parks, and now Cedar Fair just bought Michigan's Adventure for 28 million. See, it costs too much to build a park from scratch. It's like building a city, takes years to do it. Look at IOA.
Yeah, if I had the money, I'd call each ride manufacturer and order every ride they have. I'd have 30 coasters in my park, one after another. Each B&M coaster, Intamin Giga, each Vekoma coaster, a Morgan Giga, Giovanni hyper, All S&S drop rides, Hypersonic, X, and so on. Full versions, full theaming, indoor queues, some flat rides, and a pretty carousal in front of a fountain lake. That would easily cost a couple Billion.
There is no way to win a Billion dollars, and parks are slow to add rides because they're making profits for their stock holders and sticking to the bottom line. And if one person tried to do it, they'd get sued when someone gets injured.
Too bad the ride manufacturers don't get together and make a super park. Put 1 of each ride in a park, and then they get the money to continue developing new rides.
