RCPro Games Xchange > Summer Showdown '07 > Round 2 > Victoria Gardens by AeroLost Coasters Park Name: Victoria Gardens Group Name: AeroLost Coasters Description: Hello, and Welcome to Victoria Gardens! Victoria Gardens is the cleanest and greenest park in the world, and all visitors know it. The Gardens have a history as colorful as the 50,000 flowers planted throughout the park. Victoria started as just a restaurant with some waterways running throughout. This restaurant was named Victoria Gardens Island Restaurant. In fact, it is still standing strong with five stars to this day. About a decade after the opening of the restaurant, the owners felt rides were needed to make the Gardens a full day experience. The park added Gardens Carrousel, along with two Scramblers and a Pirate ship. A couple years later, the park utilized the waterways in the restaurant to make a rafting experience like none other, along with a car ride named Jungle Derby. In the 1990's, the new park built its first coaster, Tree Topper. This Zierer custom Tivoli model includes a lot of hills and a helix. The year after, the park added a Huss Enterprise, named Tulip Wheel, a garden hedge maze, and a sky tower named Beanstalk, after the tall tale about a boy named Jack. In the 2000's, the park has been expanding rapidly with the addition of three coasters. In 2001, the park added Dragonfly, a Vekoma Flying Dutchman, which intertwined with its foresty terrain. In 2003, the park added Oakster Coaster, a GCI wooden twister, with 13 crossovers, many hills, and the longest circuit of date. Two years later, the park showed its ability to place rides in areas of the park many decades old with the addition of Thamnophis Sirtalis, or T. Sirtalis, for short. This B&M Dive machine sports a 105 ft first drop, an inverted top hat, which then drops the trains 121 ft into an underground tunnel, and many twists and turns, with a water splash finale. The year after, in 2006, the park was awarded the Applause Award at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Convention. This is the highest award a park can achieve. To this day, the park is thriving strong, with a bright future ahead. So please enjoy Victoria Gardens by riding the rides and coasters, and smelling the roses. Also, please eat at the Five-Star Victoria Gardens Island Restaurant. Its french fries are to die for!
