Concept:
NEW MEXICO RATTLER-RMC
For 13 years, the New Mexico Rattler has entertained guests and taken them on the wildest ride in New Mexico. As of recently, however, the ride has become rough and difficult to maintain. Cliff's Amusement Park, home of NMR, has done their research into wooden coaster restoration, re-tracking, re-profiling, and complete overhaul, and after doing a cost-benefit analysis have decided to contract the Rocky Mountain Construction Company to come in and completely re-design the coaster. As this is a family park and doesn't have the kind of big bucks that chain amusement parks have, they've decided to cut a low-budget deal. RMC will allow you, their interns, to re-design the coaster given the restrictions of space and clearance. The final layout designs will be presented to the heads of Cliff's Amusement Park and they will select the layout they believe best fits their park.
