How much would it cost ??

The answer to this question is simple.

First, it wouldn't be a good idea to charge people to ride a roller coaster you built in your backyard. Not unless you have enough insurance to cover all of the possible injuries you'll have to deal with.

Second, the cost it takes to open a starting park is around $7.50 plus 12,000,000 Pepsi points. It wouldn't hurt to maybe use a little of your stamp collection, Wonder Women comic book collection, or the entire 1997 circulated dime collection as a collateral.

Good luck parr30, or should I start calling you a middle aged J.P. Morgan.

I imanging buying a few of those coin operated rides you used to see outside of grocery, department stores and in arcades could count at rides. I'm sure they would be alot cheaper than your average park ride. Not to mention they are probably powered off of 120 or 220 volts. :)

I bet if we all put out money together we could open up our very own "Coasterbuzz Amusement Park," assuming we could all come up with around a billion dollars.

If there are 7,000 members, and we want to raise $1,000,000,000, each person would have to contribute, let's see...

You can send your checks to me. ;)

Just private message your home address and that check is as good as sent. Although you shouldn't deposit or cash it until the year 3047. I'll even use my WWF(World Wildlife Foundition) soy ink checks for this special occasion. I'll also even right in the memo line "Happy Birthday!" for no reason what so ever. So just hook me up with your address, acourse I can only afford contential U.S. postage. I ain't got more than 37cents to be throwing around.

How much would it cost? Umm.. do a search on Amazon for RCT3 (or RCT2 for the older comps). You'll find the price there. Once you get it, just start designing.. ;)

You could have a "Let's build a theme park from scratch" Telethon. Or have a pledge drive like PBS constantly seems to have.

Oh man I'm still laughing! That is just classic :)

Yeah I got a good laugh out of that as well.

Why build a new one? Just wait till SFI has another yard sale and pick up one for cheap from them. You couldn't open a new park for what they're selling theirs for fully stocked.

Then all you have to do is hire people, open the doors, and let the money roll in. Oh, and build 4 coasters the first year you open. And never maintain anything, have your employees be rude, and don't paint. Ever. Then people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between your park and the previous owners.

I would rather spend my money on Esteban guitars.

Martins, baby, Martins.
