Info on coasters at the upcoming Wild West World!

The park has just launched it's website www.wildwestworld.org They have posted a map of the lay-out as well as information on 2 of the 3 coasters. Its cool, looks like this park was created on RCT3 (I think I will try to build it). Word as to the 3rd coaster is that it apears to be a launched moterbike that has been desgined like horses or Joyland's old wooden coaster but no word yet.

Well so far I see a mine train and a kiddy coaster. I see they already have a space for 'future expansion'. Just the thing for their next coaster. This looks like a pretty cool park.

Check out the coaster types, looks like a Maurer Sohne spinner judging by the overbanks, but with unique cars. And a Morgan Mine Train, plus a Morgan Jr. Hyper?:

Now that we've brought this back up, anyone going to the ground-breaking ceremony? I am, and hope to get a chance to talk with Thomas Etheredge.

I will be there. They are going to save a bundle with chance-morgan rides and coasters, there won't be much shipping as the north plant will share a property line with the park. It will be nice to see our babies stay home for once.

Hmmmm...in some other thread someone that works for Chance-Morgan said they had coaster track all around the yard for a new installation. Perhaps its for this new park?

I guss we will find out Monday.

We will? What's Monday? Did I miss something?

Ah! Cool!

The Maga Mine Train looks like an awesome idea. I hope they go with that if they don't add a woodie. They need at least ONE airtime machine and this one looks like a winner! Just hope they don't abuse the block brake as a trim like CF parks LOVES to do. On second thought add a twisting TGG woodie to the mix and you have a well rounded coaster collection.

The mine train from the picture (the one with the airtime hills) does not look like the one on the proposed map, on the map it looks like a standard mine train...... with A LOT of turns

The park stats for the "Mega Mine Train" are eerily similar to the old Excalibur @ SFAW, that is now in storage at Frontier City. And not to mention the have 2 conflicting layouts on that website, the one from the map shows a VERY curvy minetrain with numerous turns and 2 helixs, and yet the other one showing the height and the hills looks eerily like Mamba and Steel Force...... Maybe the guy said "I want Mamba, but I want it 1/2 as tall."

Just random thoughts to fuel the fire.

The map shows a kiddie and a twisted mine train.

Yet the "roller coaster" page shows a spinning coaster and a hyper.

And finally, there's the motorbike with horses we're talking about...

Confusing. :/

For anyone whos going, I'll be wearing a T-Shirt that says "Got Thrills?" on the front.
