Steamboat Willie? Is that a real play?

^Yeah, it's an early Disney cartoon, the first in fact to feature any speaking. That scenery piece is from ShyGuy's Main Street set, and the real theater front at Disneyland has Steamboat Willie on it.

1978

It's only July, but extensive work has already begun on our massive new attraction that's coming to the park next year. It's the biggest investment ever made at Charleston Gardens Amusement Park. Keep watch here as I'll be dropping hints between here and there!

Your friend,

Joseph Reynolds.


What could this be?

Well it's not a roller coaster.

Biggest investment? Bigger than Derecho? Bigger than Atlantic Avenue?

Wow, this is a tough one. What could possibly go in that small area, yet cost more than Derecho? I'm guessing that Derecho cost a cool 2 million (in 21st century money). And it's still only 1978, so...

It's a long plot of land... I suppose you might be able to squeeze wild mouse in there... A dark ride would fit in there too, but it would have to be pretty pricy to be considered the biggest investment...

I'm completely stumped.

Oh, and beautiful skyline pic!

its going to be something like top thrill dragster.......
think how far ahead of the game they would be.

2002

CP: Our newest attraction is going to be an Intamin Accelerator! It's the cutting edge of coasters, using the latest in acceleration technology.

CGAP: Oh, we've had one of those for years.

CP: Oh, but did yours use a hydrolic launch system?

CGAP: Please... We got ours going with flywheels, bitch. Everyday we had to go out and grease those fuckers.

^ haha thats right.

1978

I had an odd question asked today in the office. "Joe, you all have tons of land - why are you adding a new attraction in the dead center of the park that is bound on all four sides?"

To answer his question, I replied: "We are thinking economically, if for some reason we run into another financial problem in the future, we want to have as much land available for sale as possible."

Don't worry now, we are planning to expand our park's physical borders in the future, but we are trying to be smart. I hope you all can see where the new management is coming from.

Have a great day and enjoy these two photographs!

That's quite alot of dirt that's out there. Eventually we'll stack it up for later use.


Will our two coasters have a friend in the future?

How about a long flat ride?

1979

Welcome to 1979! The Heatwave has arrived!

"Standing at a height of 166 feet above the ground, Heatwave becomes Charleston Gardens Amusement Park's top-notch thrillride attraction. Beginning with a launch from 0 to 53 mph, riders will thrust towards Heatwave's vertical loop which will turn riders a full 360 degrees. Manufactured by industry leaders, Schwrazkopf, the ride took over three months to complete. Due to Heatwave's location in the park, a custom support system was need to adequately support the ride. The ride is now open."

- Joseph Reynolds


Something looks different!


Heatwave's sign gives off its own heat!


I can't wait to show you more photographs of this ride!

Yes, yes they did. But just barely.

Really nice logo!

Omfg. Best update yet. I was getting tired of seeing rct2 shuttle loops, but in rct3 it's a whole differnent story. Excellent job cd5!
-JDP

RCT3 onride capabilities makes that update gorgeous.

Wow! Totally unexpected! I never would've imagined the ride going over the path. And it looks marvelous!

Way to keep us on our toes!

I love how the loop and spire pierce the sky, there is just something so grand about it.
