Dark Ride Log Flume (River Caves; Basically) - Planet Coaster Realistic Beach-Side Park - Episode 3

#planetcoaster #themepark #rollercoaster
My most requested park after Disney and Universal is always a sea-front, beach or boardwalk style park. So, let's carry on the Planet Coaster realism series with a park that smooshes together Blackpool Pleasure Beach with Adventureland at Southend On Sea.
So far, we have:
Episode 1 - Entrance, Turnstiles and a Wooden Rollercoaster
Episode 2 - S&S Free Fly, main entrance chair swing and the plane ride.
Episode 3 - Indoor Log Flume / Dark Ride Like River Caves
Episode 4 - A small but very spoopy Ghost Train!
Episode 5 - B&M Floorless Coaster
Episode 6 - Giant Inverted Boomerang

Ha, I think you're way too hard on yourself. I think it turned out really well. I love all the shops and restaurants around the show building. It all feels VERY "amusement" park.

[@Nerdchacho]

Yeah, I think you're right.. it turned out "well" but I don't look at it and think "ah yeah, good job, well done".. It just sits "ugh" with me at the moment. I do, however love the outside shops and next week's Ghost Train..

[@mikestein1024]

Dark wet and plenty room to get lost just how I like my dark rides to go lol 😂

[@hardpunkkore9235]

Creators block is tough to get past. We've all been there. But good job finishing the ride nonetheless. We are always most critical of our own work.

[@SMCoasters97]

I really like it, it’s very well integrated with the shops and the haunted house, and the ride itself is well built/themed

Chacho: *Names food unit 'Mystery Meat', doesn't elaborate, leaves*

[@Nerdchacho]

Wait until you get to episode 10 🤣

[@wildcatenthusiast8888]

I think it’s incredible. My new favorite ride in this park!!!

[@patrickn8355]

Those toilets are unreal! Great short ride overall.

[@leemainwaring6439]

absolutely love this. nostalgia overload! I remember going on river caves and loving the fact that you pass by the underground restaurant and can gawp at people eating their dinner 😂 love the design that you've gone for with excellent theming!

[@Nerdchacho]

I've never been on it, but as I was reviewing "how" it was pulled together, I was like "man, this building is massive but so well hidden.. how on Earth did they do that?!" I want to, at some point, have some sort of interaction between a restaurant and a track ride - like the one that is (was) also at Europa. But I can't seem to get the framing of them right..

[@leemainwaring6439]

@Nerdchacho it's huge. and I'm sure the Gold Mine was right next to that too and that was a monster indoor ride aswell. yea the restaurant wouldn't have worked with this one but would be great to see at some point, but as you say making that work in planet coaster would be a challenge.

[@7empest376]

I like it..... think it;s a pretty cool little water ride.

[@kirm84]

Once you get more buildings and rides around it I think it will really come together

[@smith9808]

I love how you think this is bad 😂 That’s how good you are!

[@Coaster-Madness]

I really like its atmosphere! It feels quite old school, in a good way

[@Bmkmusic]

I love it! The whole area kinda reminds me of an outdoor version of the inside of the pyramid from Fundy Funspot! The lighting, the mashing of themes, I dunno, just kinda gives me those vibes! Lol @ mystery meat. Not really a pun, but still kinda reminds me of all those shops with the puns from Fundy as well!

[@Nerdchacho]

I miss the days of Pundy.... Get it.. Pundy? Pun-dy... Pun.... I'll go home. The ghost train tacked onto the end of the building will be the perfect miss-mash of themes too... Then straight back to something generic and garish for the Episode after... Shameful but perfect.

[@leemainwaring6439]

@Nerdchacho just like Blackpool then, a viking themed boat ride right next to a swinging spaceship ride and ride named after a drink 😂

My 2nd Fav Nerdchaco Park

[@pkay.prod.]

am i crazy or is this episode 3, not 2...? regardless, very excited to watch!

[@Nerdchacho]

oops

[@MatecaCorp]

The world needs more River Caves/Old Mill type rides. Well done! Do I spy an Intamin Impulse in the distance?

[@Nerdchacho]

You do indeed.. it's place in the park is up for debate at the moment... :)

[@RyanDavis-qv4ie]

One reason i still love Kennywood to this day is that Old Mill hopefully seems to be staying for quite a long time more. Wish they would update it slightly after the revert back from Garfields Nightmare.

[@ZamTx1]

Lol @ Mystery Meat.

[@Rollercoasterrider123]

When is the arrow hyper coming??? 🤪🤣

[@hacwoolls5467]

Great project! Is this map download available on the workshop?

[@Nerdchacho]

A version is, yes. Search fir beachey point :)

This turned out great!0

[@csch1510]

Can somebody please fill me in on the Pyrotechnique Chacho was talking about? Roughly at 14:45

[@Nerdchacho]

It'll be the snake pit or the snake on a branch.. both in the adventure pack

[@csch1510]

@@Nerdchacho Plastic fire?

[@Nerdchacho]

@@csch1510 oh, that! Yeah, flames made out of plastic sheeting, lit up and blown with fans. It is a safer, more reliable and cheaper alternative to real fire. Used in theatres all the time

[@csch1510]

@@Nerdchacho thanks

[@iTheRealMercy]

Will you ever go back to timelapses?

[@Nerdchacho]

When I'm not busy training lifeboat cree and lifeguards, yes. That is far more important right now
