Cinestrio Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone! I'm bringing Six Flags Over Washington over to these forums, and although the park is mostly done, I still have a couple "years" to update, and videos to post. To see the original thread (while you can) here it is; https://www.shyguysworld.com/index.php/topic,21775.0.html But for now, here is a brief history of the park; Opened in 1947 as Sikes Lake Amusement Park in Carnation, Washington, outside Seattle, Sikes Lake has grown immensely over the years. From its first coaster Lightning in 1955, to its latest coaster Goliath in 2016, this park has transformed into a massive player in the theme park space. In 1995 the park was purchased by Premier Parks LLC, and in 2000 it was officially converted into a Six Flags branded theme park. The park hosts 12 roller coasters as of 2016, multiple themed areas, and two major children's areas. It sits on a scenic lake allowing many theme park nerds to take their boat out there and capture some pictures. ;) Here's some pictures of the park as time has went on; Lightning is still kicking after all this time. Vekoma's are rough but very fun. Here is Mind Eraser and Goldstriker One of two indoor coasters is Dragen Kastle! An awesome GCI, Sasquatch, still attracts many crowds to this day! With the Six Flags rebrand came Gotham City, with Batman: Arkham Escape and Riddler's Revenge. Two kid's areas were rebranded as well into Bugs Bunny Town and Looney Tunes Wild West. Still a fan favorite today, Superman: Ride of Steel opened in 2003, adding to the park's growing lineup. Dark Knight opened in 2008, a scary children's wild mouse, the lines are short on this one today! Can't forget about Skyscreamer! X-Flight opened in 2014, an awesome launched coaster. Six Flags claims this is a coaster, but this is definitely not. This is German for "Fireball" and is located in the Oktoberfest section of the park. And finally present day, 2016. Goliath, an RMC topper track opened this season and has been an absolute hit. I'll keep the park updated as more comes out, hope you guys enjoy, and looking forward to bringing this thread here! Expect a Goliath video soon ;) And also if interested here are the videos related to this park; Thanks again for reading! Edited October 18 by Cinestrio 1 Quote

I LOATHE when parks advertise either additions to existing rides as standalone attractions (LOOKING AT YOU, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD), or when they falsely inflate their coaster count. I super dig that Fright Fest overlay you did! Halloween for life Quote Something, sometime, eventually...
wolfpaw Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 Some of these coasters are giving me Busch Gardens Wiliamsburg vibes.. this looks really awesome! 1 hour ago, Cinestrio said: Six Flags claims this is a coaster, but this is definitely not.

This also made me laugh, ahaha Quote there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really
Wabigbear Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 I think I mentioned before that as a native Washingtonian I think you've definitely are spot on with the PNW vibes in this park. Been fun to watch it grow over the years and it's great that you'll continue that here! Quote
Rhodedog80 Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 Yeah, I'm loving this park! The branding and theming is on point, as are the foliage and landscape of the PNW. Thanks for sharing!

Cinestrio Posted June 3, 2023 Author Posted June 3, 2023 Thanks everyone! Really appreciate the comments :) Awesome to bring it here and see everyone on these forums! Just a quick update; I posted some footage of Goliath. Feel free to check it out! I'll be updating this park from here on out when I can (probably not that frequently but I'll certainly try). Thank you again everyone. 1 Quote
wolfpaw Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 Really smooth coaster! Don't know the type of coaster that is because I'm not as well-versed in coasters as you guys are but love those supports Also, I just have to ask.. what in the world are those people in front of you wearing on their heads in the night POV?? 1 1 Quote there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really

Haha thank you! It's called an RMC topper track, and I have 0 clue what they're wearing 2017 A lot of small and not so small changes have happened this year. The park announced at the end of 2016 that Freedom Flyer would be closing for good. Freedom Flyer has served guests for years, and will truly be missed. Along with that, Gotham City Crime Wave also closed. and was relocated. As you see, this year brought about an entire new section of the park, dubbed "Metropolis." Gotham City Crime Wave was renamed to Cyborg: Cyber Spin. This entire new area is directly to the left of the park entrance plaza, and was previously a small area filled with Freedom Flyer, Scizzer, and some restaurants. As of right now, Cyborg is the largest ride in the area, but it seems that won't be for long, as land clearing has happened where Scizzer was. Along with the retheme came the Hall of Justice merchandise shop, and some retheming to the restaurants in the area. A full in depth tour of Metropolis will be coming soon of course. Unlike other Six Flags parks, it was deemed that this park would not be getting a Justice League; Battle for Metropolis ride. It was originally in the works, but due to size and budget constraints it was abandoned. However the Metropolis idea stayed, and at least the area got some fresh retheming. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for next year! Edited July 4, 2023 by Cinestrio 2 Quote
wolfpaw Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 I love how you do your food stands/buildings, looks really cool overall!

Gin Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 I wish I was this good at making coasters! I also really like your ride skin for Cyborg - it's themed just enough to make it look unique. Your whole park looks amazing! Quote There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow; shining at the end of every day.
Cinestrio Posted October 6 Author Posted October 6 (edited) Thank you everyone for the comments! I know this is a very late response (over a year) but I'd like to update this park 1-2 more times before Planet Coaster 2 drops, and release it on the workshop if anyone would like to experience it. Here's an update on what was done but never posted; 2018 This season saw the introduction of Joker - A thrilling new flat ride that took over Gotham City 2019 For this season - Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth debuted. This ride added a lasting impact on the park's skyline and is surely a crowd pleaser. This ride also rounded out the Metropolis area which feels complete now. I will provide a final update to this park along with a steam workshop download in the near future! Thank you everyone! Edited October 6 by Cinestrio 1 1 Quote
Wabigbear Posted October 6 Posted October 6 New additions look great! I really like your ride entrances too...great attention grabbers. Quote
wolfpaw Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Love the signage around, and those attraction entrances are nailed right on the head of how they would actually look at a Six Flags! Great work!

Cinestrio Posted October 18 Author Posted October 18 (edited) Thank you everyone! I appreciate the comments! I'm going to be dropping some final pictures here as a last update and link to the steam workshop for anyone who wants to explore the park! Believe it or not - I have made many many many parks in RCT3 and PC1, and I feel as if I have always left them in-completed, and I can finally say this is my first park that I mostly completed, and I hope if you do view the park that you enjoy exploring it as much as I enjoyed making it. This park was started in 2020 during the Pandemic, and I'm glad to finally release it 4 years later. Enjoy and thank you everyone! Thanks again! Here is the Workshop Link (you've been warned it is a large park!) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2734639453 Edited October 18 by Cinestrio 2 Quote
Wabigbear Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Congratulations! It can often be a struggle to complete a large park, so I know how much work and effort went into finishing it! Quote
