Here we are, the conclusion of this 4 part series where I attempt to paint a picture of what my ideal theme park will look like, from the entrance and basic overlook to a more detailed plan of each themed area within the park. While this would costa fortune to build and will never happen, it won't stop me from dreaming. In this final part we will recap and give an overview of the rides and areas of the park. Additionally, we will now look at the final area:
The Film Studio
Welcome to the final area, admittedly the least themed one in the park but I just wanted to get a bunch more rides in and have a solid place for all families as well as being indoors to cover all weather. That being said, it is still themed, just not in the same detail as it is meant to be a studio with multiple sets so that's my excuse for the lack of theme.
Wild Mouse
There is something so appealing to me of an indoor wild mouse, not being able to see where you're going while also spinning round is chaos and I am here for it. I imagine something like Storm Chaser as Paultons Park but in the building to some sort of action film setting, nothing groundbreaking but ticking the spinning coaster box at least. I'm going to go for a Reverchon model as I quite enjoy them and think it would work well
Vintage Car Ride
Nothing exciting, a ride I just quite enjoy, take a tour through another 'set' and a great ride for small children too, there's not much to say about this ride, probably based off a film set in a farm bescause that sounds original.
Mack Inverted Powered Coaster
Essentially, Arthur at Europa Park, but obviously a bit different. On a side note, I love what Mack does if it's not already obvious. This is designed to be the most memorable ride in this area, a story driven coaster that is captivating for the whole family, should be a fun ride to do and will essentially be a glorified dark ride so it makes sense that I'd put this in
Sizzler
About as themed as Flavio's was at Alton Towers but they actually put this on full speed to really throw guests around and give a fun atmosphere in the middle of the building, it will be in the centre of a massive food court, just so it is a real spectacle for guests and they can listen to music and watch the ride go while eating.
Dark Ride
Final one, I promise! This will only be a little one, hopefully with an IP for kids to enjoy predominately but either way, it should tell a nice little story, going through a hand full of scenes from said film and be a really popular ride amongst families.
Pirate Ship
An absolute classic, one I was trying to fit in to several areas but kept being pushed out so I threw in here as I want this indoor part to have a load of rides so when the weather turns there are lots of options. Some sort of pirate film on this ride, nothing nuanced but it will do its job nevertheless. I do like giving these rides a go so it is something I think would work well in this park too.
Drop Tower
Now this is not a full on drop tower as the building would have to be massive to make that work, however I think I will go for the new Attitude Rides and Attractions model that has 10 different modes and will offer whatever the guest wants and be able to fit in this building without making it ridiculously tall.
Overview and Recap
So that is the rides of the park done, personally I think this park is a great showcase of what the attractions industry has and will be great for enthusiasts, thrillseekers and families. I'd love to put this in the North of England somewhere but no idea where exactly but Ember Dome Park is definitely for us Northerners. Anyway, the 6 areas in this park are Teletubbies Land which is the kids area, then the main ones are themed to Space, Jungle, Middle Ages, Western and Movie Sets. These all fit around a large lake with paths wrapping around connecting each park as well as the monorail.
My personal highlights in terms of rides will be the space themed dark ride, jungle raptor, middle age boat ride, western RMC and film set wild mouse. All the rides have been planned out and put in place to cover as much as possible. My two favourite areas are the space and middle ages one but for different reasons: Space as the theme itself is my favourite and I can really visualise how it would look and Middle Ages for the storyline of the area that unravels a dark truth and will be very fitting for a UK based park and how we have lots of dark themes for rides.
This is a wrap for this series, make sure to check out all the other parts to see everything that this park will have to offer! It's the most ambitious and planned out work for this blog so far and has required a lot of effort to pull it all off. I hope you have enjoyed this journey through what we can all agree would be the best park in the country (Sorry Blackpool) and would have some world class coasters too. I look forward to seeing you all in the Ember Dome Park soon. 😉
As always, thanks for reading and let me know what you think about this park, would you visit?
Take care and see you in the next post!
