This is for some of the more creative people in this forum. Have you ever wanted to write history about a fictonal park? I did one once, It was about an RCT2 park I downloaded. Six Flags Stevenson by Tooley.(btw Tooley, I loved that park) One day, I had a nice cup of coffee, and I wrote a huge history essay about that park.
Here it is,
In 1922, Roberto K.Stevenson bought lots of land near Diamond Heights River. He decided to convert the land into a large leisure park called Shady Acers. In 1924 he introduced the apparatuses that would change the way that the park would be forever, rides. He put a Merry-go-round, a Ferris wheel, and a Parachute Drop in the park and everybody flocked to the park, which would soon be called Stevenson Fun Land. In 1927 he discovered what his park has been missing, a Roller Coaster. So, he commissioned Harry Traver to build a roller coaster. The result was Thunder, a large wooden Out-and-Back/Twister roller coaster. Soon, it was advertised to be the best ride in the galaxy and masses of people came to the park just to ride the roller coaster. But its HUGE fame was short lived, 1933 came the depression, and the park could not get enough money to stay open, it was closed for good, or was it? Unfortunately, in 1944, due to WWII, the entire park was razed, except for Thunder. It lay dormant for 22 years. Petitions to get the coaster open again were highly active, but it never helped. And to make matters worse, Roberto K. Stevenson passed away of old age in 1950 at the age of 97. In 1966, Pepe Stevenson, Roberto?????????s grandson (born 1945) bought the land that used to be Stevenson Fun Land to revamp it into an amusement park, a miracle has happened! After 2 years of rebuilding, in 1968, it reopened to the public. And it continues to operate to this day. Roller coaster fans had to wait 19 years for them to build a new coaster. In 1985, Arrow Dynamics built Tempest, a steel roller coaster with 6 inversions. It quickly became the most visited coaster in the park. In 1987, Arrow Dynamics was commissioned again. This time to build a Suspended coaster named Big Foot. 2 years pass, and it was time for a new woodie, Timber Tantrum, A huge woodie built by Custom Coasters International. By the end of the 80s, it became a very successful park. In 1990, Six Flags bought the park. Now it is named Six Flags Stevenson. In 1991, B&M, a newbie in the roller coaster industry built their second coaster here, Batman Night Flight that became the loopiest coaster until 1998. 1992 brought a small roller coaster named Wild Thing. Coaster fans now had to wait 4 more years for a new coaster, but it was worth it. In 1996 HangOver, A B&M Invert with 5 inversions was built. In 1999 Monster, a roller coaster similar to Wild Thing was built next to Timber Tantrum. 2000 brought a whole new coaster company in the park, Intamin. Intamin built not one, but TWO of their new Impulse designs for the park, they are the Hangman Racers. 2001 brought the tallest, fastest and longest coaster in the park. Mad Moose. An interesting thing about the coaster was that Abercrombie and Fitch sponsored it. In 2002, Intamin came back to the park. They wanted to build a new design known as the Rocket Coaster. But they found that it was too extreme so it was nixed. And in its place came the last known Stand-up coaster ever built. Villain was built by B&M. In 2003 came a great tragedy. It was June 9th 2003 to be exact,during a busy day, a wheel fell off of a train on Tempest. It careened of the rails and into the queue line. 98 people are dead. The worst known accident in roller coaster history.How can a wheel cause such a horrible crash? The wheel falling off of the front car triggered a chain reaction to the crash. The pure friction from the bottom of the car to the rails caused flames to shoot out from the first car and the fires corroded the pins keeping the other wheels on and when the coaster was coming out of the double corkscrew and into that final helix, it happened. The wheels gave out and the whole six-car train derailed and collided with the large elevated queue line and The whole thing collapsed. 24 passengers were on board the train and 74 people waiting where the queue line collapsed. Truly a sad day in roller coaster history. The park was closed for the rest of the season. Tempest became SBNO in 2004 and near the coaster, was a memorial for those that died onboard. The only good thing that happened in 2004 was a new coaster, Flight of Fear, a B&M flying coaster. Flight of fear was almost cancelled because of what happened. In 2005 it was demolished. And to this day, the pieces lay in a field outside the park. In 2006, a roller coaster was built to replace Tempest. Lacoste Crazy, a B&M floorless coaster was built. It is a generic Floorless with 7 inversions. In 2007, Patriot, a B&M Dive Machine was built. This is the parks first so-called "Fliller Coaster" because by Mad Moose, there is a big grassy area that has no rides and Six Flags thought it as an opritunity to build somthing new. With all that aside, there were no updates for 2008. During off-season 2008, It was announced that HangOver, the park's B&M Invert will get new effects such as a water sprayer, steam machines and a snazzy new techno music track for the station. But then, they were testing new colors. Blue Track, Lavender Supports. Then in January 2009,after being completly recolored, It was announced that HangOver will be renamed "Bizzaro". When the park opened in 2009, Bizarro was an instant hit. and to thid day, It still thrils coaster freaks today!
Please do not say I'm a nerd for writing a huge history essay about an rct2 park. I am just very creative with words.
