So I am going to install either a rapids ride or a splash-battle.
Which do you want?
What theme should it have?
It's up to YOU!

Rapids along the lines of an African jungle with trees which have water pouring off them and animals like the minecraft leopardish thing and other rare animals around the layout, like a lot of elements all the way through, could work well.

Blue fireworks can act as a water splash. Hint hint.

Construction is going quite well, is a lot harder to make than I thought it would be!
Here is a picture of the first water-fall element! I plan for there to be three in total!

I am also going to install a Bubble-Works style ending inside the Temple, anyone know how I can do that?

It's also time to show you our restaurants!
KFC (Middle-Earth):

Intergalactic Pizza (Fifth Dimension):

Prehistoric Cafe (Dinosaur Cove):

If you wonder what you would hear around the park, I have made a Youtube playlist!

Unfortunately, the Resort has decided to replace the Runaway Mine-Train wooden-coaster.
It was costing lots to maintain the ride, even though we are in closed season.
It was also quite old, being at several other parks before arriving at Pine-Cone.
The ride is to be dismantled and recycled into a much more modern coaster.
De-construction is just beginning, and plans for the site are unknown.
Rumors suggest that a large gift-shop is going to take its place.
What do you want on site? Another transportation hub (site is very close to the entrance)? Should the camp-site go there? A flat ride? A 4D cinema?

OK, I won't do that unfortunately as woodie's are quite hard to make (in my opinion).

As good as a spinner is, have you got any other ideas? It is a medium space, it must be able to have a high through-put as it is right at the parks entrance!

Theme the gondolas as animals that have captured you and are dragging you to their lairs. Also, you could hook up some redstone to have TNT activated, it creates a hissing sound like a snake or creeper.

Cool, shall definitely have a "lair" section! Might call it "Grisly Bear" or something like that!

EDIT: Instead, I have decided to add a MACK powered coaster, if y'all are cool with that!
