Hey everyone, basically carrying on from here: http://forum.towerstimes.co.uk/rct-and- ... ws-6th-nov)/

Hello everyone,

The closed season at the park has been very quiet, maybe a little too quiet. Anyway, I popped down to the park on opening day last weekend to check out their brand new investment. It was boiling hot and very busy for a March day in England so I was glad that the new ride was a log flume called Woodland Falls. It is an Intamin Ride Trade flume ride and has one large-ish drop. The rest of the course meanders through the lovely woods that make up the park. It is situated on the hill above the Gold Rush wild mouse coaster and you can get great views over the second secluded lake now. Anyway onto the photos.

The stonework entrance arch to the new mini plaza where the ride is situated.

The queue was bursting out of the queue line entrance at just 15 minutes after opening. That's probably due to the combination of hot weather and it being a new ride. Also, the extended queue line was stupidly closed until about midday. ::)

The station is rather simplistic but it gets the job done and again, sticks with the rustic country feel present throughout the park.

You can just see the Gold Rush coaster to the left as you climb the 40-50ft lift hill on Woodland Falls.

A moderate soaking awaits each boat at the bottom of the drop. Plus, the heavier the boat, the bigger the splash. Trust me to get a full boat.

Overall, a solid addition to the park in my opinion. There could have been more to it I suppose but for such a small park, I think it does the job and I hope for bigger and better things in the future.

Until next time
Harry

Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (WOODLAND FALLS) - 24th July

I do like your minimal man-made-ness. Natural appearance. I might see if I can fit a log flume in my project at some point too :D
 
Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (WOODLAND FALLS) - 24th July

I think this park looks fab! Very unique and I like the natural look. I think you should build a new coaster. To keep the natural setting I think a terrain woodie would be great for the park's next season.
 
Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (WOODLAND FALLS) - 24th July

I love the theming and the setting! The park does need a small GCI woodie to make it even better. How did you get rid of your log flume supports? I've had trouble removing my wooden supports.
 
Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (WOODLAND FALLS) - 24th July

You have done an amazing job making this park look so clean and full. I really like where this is going.
 
Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (WOODLAND FALLS) - 24th July

I can't see any sick on the floor at all! Well done.

You need the DasMatze Support Overhaul set. It basically replaces the in-game supports on the log flume and wooden coasters.

scw55: Thanks for the support and feedback.

joe3579: Thanks for the feedback and believe me, a new major development is on its way. Also, a woodie is on the cards for the far-ish future.

gopats1479: Thank you for the comments and yes it was Dasmatze's Support Overhaul set.

reddude333: Thank you and I do try.

FaceYourNemesis: Yes that's right and thanks for the comments.

Hello again followers,

I recently had time to pop along to the park with the family for another visit and the new Woodland Falls attraction has really increased the number of visitors in these summer months in my opinion. The only problem is that it seems that a few of the boats for the ride are undergoing maintenance causing for some hefty queues.

The start of a scorching hot day here in sunny ol' England (for now anyway).

I love how serene the lake looks.

The other rides are still attracting large queues as well though.

That's it from this visit. Although, in other news, I spotted some tree felling taking place down near the shore of the secondary lake. Could just be routine maintenance though.

See You Soon
Harry

Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (A VERY HOT VISIT) - 1st Aug

No replies :cry:

Hey everybody,

Firstly may I just say, hasn't this year gone quickly. It's already been a year since I last update you and well I can't believe that frankly. Anyway, last season was very successful at the park and by the looks of it, the park were raking in the money. My guess would be due to the extortionate prices of other similar attractions around the area. I really feel the park is great value for money. Anyway, it turns out as some people had guessed that the park had made a two ride deal with Intamin Ride Trade as this year, the park installed an Intamin Pirate Ship attraction that bears the name 'Castaway Clipper'. It is quite a large version of pirate ship and provides an unusually thrilling ride experience. Plus, the placement of the ride is superb as it is perched on the edge of the second more secluded lake so just adds to the experience more. Also, just like last year, the crowds have grown and most notably for me, the queue times are rising. Not good for me, but I suppose good for the park.

The car park gets busier with every visit:

The new path to the ride and new plaza:

Also built was this little plaza which offers tables and chairs, also offering views over the secondary lake:

Finally, the ride down by the lake:

That's all for the photos this time.

Oooh. Something of interest to note. I've been hearing from reliable sources at the park lately that the park is applying to acquire a large loan for a big investment. Now, I'm not one to listen to rumours too closely but if this is true, we might be in for something special. Fingers crossed.

Bye
Harry

Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (CASTAWAY CLIPPER) - 21st Au

Excellent : great terraforming and terrain textures, fantastic pathwork (I love how you use invisible paths) and over-average use of foliage. You've greatly improved since I first saw you on CF !
 
Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (CASTAWAY CLIPPER) - 21st Au

Like StarCity with K-Star, Adventure Park offers a variety of shows that last for different periods of time. You invest in a certain amount of money (game currency, of course) and would be rewarded with “fun”
 
Re: Elmwood Lake Adventure Park (Cleanup & Carry On) - 29th

After over a year of this file being corrupted and unplayable, and since discovering Joeywp's superb Park Cleanup tool, Elmwood Lake is back with a new area. For now a teaser while I get back into the swing of things. Updates may not be as often as before but hopefully will actually happen.

Hello everybody,

It's Harry here and I am pleased to say that development and investment at Elmwood is once again evident. The park did not add or change anything last season however today, one month before the new season begins, the park released a photo which looks to show some new rides and a new area. It seems that they were saving up for a big investment. I just feel however that the wildlife area of the park is being slightly neglected with much of the focus being on the amusement area.

Anyway here's the photo. See you soon for the new season.

I'm awaiting more screenshots :)

I personally prefer fantasy-theme parks, so I cannot really give much feedback regarding a plausable amusement park.
