New Type Of Theme Park...

Drat, 8 days shy of it's anniversary too Bassistist. This park is already starting like Six Flags, not caring about anniversaries and such!

What can I say that the rest of you haven't already said?

However, you might get more respect if you had a better grasp of the english language...or just how to work a spell check.

I'm not trying to be mean, but if you want to be taken seriously, you need to be more professional, and not spell like your (or even you're) in grade school.

The thing that really has me baffled is why someone would spend the good money to register a domain name and get web space for a site like that? What are you thinking guy?

If you want to run a park so bad, take the money you are spending for web space and a domain name and buy yourself a copy of Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Think positive. Today's poster is tomarow's invester!

Ok, just to make sure I’m clear on this. You would rather have my web designers tell you about the park, and my designers tell you what you want in it and the art and themeing company to tell you how you want it to look. You would rather have this instead of being given a blank piece of paper and being asked how you would do it, right?I’m sorry im just a little disappointed. Considering how much people try to guess what the next thing will be and learn about it I thought the public would love to be brought in on a park and given the opportunity to help shape it from thought one.

De ja vu

Ok, let me make sure I am clear on this... You want everybody in the coaster community to either buy a season pass to a non-existant park ($60), buy multiple season passes (for what purpose, I do not know), or invest $1000+ into your park so that they can be on the inside and know what is going to be put in the park the next year before everyone else knows?

Lets say you somehow get 1000 enthusiasts to "invest" in your park, that gives you a mere $1,000,000 to build you're park, how on earth are you going to build a whole park, let alone a couple decent rides, with that kind of cash.

The reason people are griping about your website is all based on credibility. If you would have first invested the time and effort into your first phase, the website, you might have a few more people onboard, or at least giving you an open mind when reading this. However, your site looks like something someone in 6th grade put together for a school project. First impressions say a lot and you failed misserably with your first impression.

As one of my friends would say, "It's time to put down those left handed cigarettes and slowly back away from the keyboard, Marz Yar!"

"If you read the site you would see I haven't picked yet, I want Ideas on where. If I bought the land tomarow I would build it outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. They are without a park."

Forgive me if I am wrong, but isnt Indiana Beach within 90 minutes of Indianapolis?

Survey says..........scam.

Judging from the looks of you and your bandmates. If you really want to get into the amusement park business I'm sure you could find work as a carny. Heck, buy your own Zipper and drive it around to each of our houses, I'd ride it.

Hell, I'll pay you $20 if you park it out in front of my house at my next party. Your band can play too, as long as you don't suck.

That's the funniest thing I've read in a while.

I'll also put money down on "suck"

Well , maybe I'll be nice and actually give you Ideas....

Yep.

First off. Start very small. Start with a go-kart park or a kiddie park.Also , gain other people who share your dream. Don't even try to do this by yourself.

Second. Use the profits from the small attraction.

Third. Once(if ever) you have enough money to actually start an amusement park , Have some sort of waterpark-like attraction. Waterparks REALLY bring in crowds.Just look at Visionland this year.

Fourth. When starting the new park , get used rides.

There.:)

I'm highjacking every post. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):);)

Ok, some serious questions:

- What kind of business experience do you even have?

- What kind of knowledge do you have about the amusement park industry?

- You don't have a location in mind, but do you have a ballpark figure for what kind of money you're looking to get from investors?

I mean, sure people pitch proposals to get investments, but they usually have something in their mind. They usually even have all these cool things called graphs and such. You need to figure out what kind of park you want to be. Who are you catering the park to? What kind of rides are you interested in putting in? Is there a large enough local base to support the park? Will the park be able to draw from a decent sized area of the country? What is the local competition? How big are they? Who do they cater to? So far you don't seem to have even thought about any of this. So I seriously suggest my carny option.

If this wasn't so damn funny, I'd delete it. Carry on...

"I go out at 3 o' clock for a quart of milk and come home to my son treating his body like an amusement park!" - Estelle Costanza

A 4 mile long 800 ft tall launched 4-D coaster. Just think, a brand new park with a oneof a kind ride, imagine the publicity. See if S&S will throw in a Screaming Squirrel for free with 10 proofs of purchase.

Seriously, the idea is clever, but right now there are too many uncertanties to make it marketable. You are relying on too much outside input. Come up with some layouts for the park, and do more inital work before you come asking for input. and when you do, give us choices. for example:

I'm puttin in 4 adult coasters, and I have $80 million to spend on them, should I have "4 steel, 1 woodie 3 steel, 2 and 2, ect"
Rank in order of your preference what type of coasters you would like to see: 4-D, B&M Flyer, B&M floorless, Intamin Rocket, Vekoma GIB, ect." You should do all the primary work, and give us options.
Also work on getting a serious website set up, something that wasn't designed using Microsoft Frontpage templates.
