Your Dream Park
Hello Everyone,
If you had to make a park for yourself, what would be in it? How big would it be? How many coasters would you have? Theming? Just a little topic to become creative...
In my park, I would have an indoor coaster for those rainy and cold days. I would have a hyper, an inverted coaster with 5-7 inversions, a floorless coaster, and of course, a wooden coaster (possibly a Villain clone?)
I'd theme the rides to the jungle and have dinosaur statues over the rides. Some coasters would go under ground and smoke would fill the midways (but enough so people could see still).

My dream would to own any park at all! But I wouldn't have themeing, I want it to be like Kenywood, Old Elitch Gardens, and Cedar Point. It would just be crammed w/ rides and gardens. I would only want about 2 coasters to start.
I think I would want mine to be full of trees, like a forest so that you cannot see the roller coasters in their intirity. No themes, if their were you wouldn't be able to see them from the midway.

My park would be very well rounded, it would not have two of the same type of coaster. I would also have theming in the que line of every coaster and have about 2-3 indoor coasters with extensive theming. The average number of inversions are about 10-13. I would also focus on being record breaking. I do have more detailed ideas which would take bout 40-50 pages to discuss that I don't want to get into

My park would have the best of every kind of coaster out there. I would skip theming, to much wasted space. I would have tons of non coaster rides but the ones that were coasters would be the best of the best.

Six Flags Great America #1 Park!!!
Mine would first be accessible... off a major highway, no more than a 45 minute drive from a major city. It would be VERY family oriented, much like Holiday world. Lots of trees and shade and ice cream. Its a place where you can sit back and go "AHHHHH!!!!" There would be magic shows, and kids shows and special events. There will be free parking and free admission to senior citizens. 4th of July will be a big event...Lots of American Pride
Building coasters will be slow at first, to get that ROI, and as the park becomes larger, so do the rides. I would have a Shivering timbers like ride, and a CCI junior. Then adding an ARROW mine train, ARROW Mad Mouse, GCI Twister and working my way up to an ARROW looper. All major coasters would have a requirement of no more than 48". I wouldn't want to alienate my smaller guests. Perhaps one day I would build my ARROW hyper.
Most flat rides would be Eyerly or Chance rides, USA based Manufacturers to save money and get equal thrills. There would be good interactive rides.. great Bumper cars, a Wisdom Tornado and don't forget, a Rock-o-Plane!
there would be some water, so you can take a canoe out and there will be a nice large Wheel to get great views. Rides would be near each other, so the walk isn't bad. Food prices would be reasonable and Company picnics would be a heavy source of customers.
The water park would be great, especially in those hot midwest summers.
Outside the park I would build indoor attractions, restaurants, roller rinks, theaters. Some way to get a higher 4th and 1st quarter earnings increase. Plus, it would be more possible to have more full-time employees and allow them to receive better benefits.
Campgrounds and Hotels would be another option to buy into.

It would have plenty of flat rides, shows, good food, and most importantly the coasters. A B&M Inverted in the style of Montu.A 185 ft tall B&M floorless.Intamin built Hypercoaster. A custom Thrust Air ride with a few vertical hills more turns, bunny hills. A Kiddie Coaster. A CCI woodie.

I'd build my park themed as Luna, Steeplechase, and Dreamland Parks of the old Coney Island. I'd use the original blueprints to recreate most of the buildings and some of the rides as well such as the human pool table and roullete wheel. Although it will be a trip back to the roaring 20's it will contain the newest thrill rides themed to look like they were built back then. All the rides would be run the way they were intended to run such as Flying Scooters that cables snap and a whip that would actually "whip" around the turns. Instead of designing all brand new wood coasters I would recreate some of the terrors of the past such as the Flying Turns, a Traver Cyclone (with minor modifications), CI Thunderbolt and Tornado. It would contain lots of free entertainment such as stuntshows, a circuis, and magicians, clowns, and other entertainers on the midways. I'd charge a minimal enterance fee maybe $2.00 and offer pay per ride or a pay one price as well.

My dream park already exhists-Cedar Point. Only thing I'd change is the amount of people allowed in it. That way, people could enjoy it more.

I would have a park that was very pleasing to the eye, not a lot of "carnival" noise going on. Lots of trees and gardens. The coasters could be seen, but would have trees and waterfalls around them. Also, for each major coaster there would be right beside it an identical Jr. coaster. Same color and layout. (Like a Jr. Apollo's Chariot.) It would be a smaller scale version of the big one so the kids could feel "big". I have always thought it was so cute to see little kids riding a small little coaster and holding their hands up. Let them get their thrills, too.
