Heavy Metal Heights: A Theme Park
Hey. It's about time I made a blog post isn't it? Anyway. Here is my idea for a theme park.
My theme park would be called Heavy Metal Heights and the theme is rock music, prominently heavy metal and it's subgenres.
The entrance zone will be called Retro Zone. This section of the park returns to the invention of psychedelic/hard rock in the 60s/70s. The zone is decorated with colourful music notes that are placed in a way they look like they are rising. The part you enter to is the mall which features various shops dedicated to the inventors of rock. A few examples are Chuck Berry Smoothies and Zeppelin Balloons. After exiting the mall you come to a split pathway. The left leads to the first main ride and another zone. The right path goes to various sideshows and interactive booths.
The sideshows feature various musical spins on classic games like Hook a Mic. There are also a few interactive booths. One is a Rock Out booth. Inside here there are 5 smaller booths that each feature a Fender Stratocaster. These guitars are secured to the amp. After entering £5 you get 10 minutes to jam all you like and your results are given to you on a souvenir CD.
Going left you will find the first thrill ride, Deep Purple Seas. This ride is the parks Log Flume. It has an interactive Deep Purple soundtrack and the scenery of the log flume changes along with the song. For example, one segment plays Burn and the scenery is fiery and the temperature is increased, giving a 4-D experience. This ride finishes with a huge finish featuring Smoke On the Water where jets from under the water give out smoke giving the illusion of floating on smoke.
After leaving the Retro Zone you enter Heavy Metal Zone. This section of the park is predominantly based on the 'New Wave of ___ Heavy Metal' era in the 80s. This section of the park has 3 main rides and a couple more sideshows.
The first ride is the horror ride The Iron Maiden. Obviously, this ride is based on the legendary metal band of the same name. The passengers enter a cart and are taken into a room. Hallowed Be Thy Name plays and the dark room flashes images of a zombified Eddie. Before the riff starts the cart goes into the main track area. Throughout the ride, in time with the music, Eddie will appear at scary moment to give a terrifying experience. The song is shortened to around 5 minutes to keep the ride efficient. The final part features a huge Eddie standing at the exit that only appears when lightning strikes in the dark room.
The next ride is Motörcar. Based on Motörhead this ride is the first rollercoaster. The rider is secured in a hot rod car. The ride reaches a speed of 60mph in 5 seconds giving the rider massive adrenaline. The ride goes through various twists and some bouts of upside down riding. The ride then goes for 2 more laps (as it only lasts around 30 seconds) and then stops.
The final ride in this zone is Revenge of Judas, based on Judas Priest. This ride is not a 'moving' ride as such but a spinning one. The rider gets into a pod and the door is closed. The drum solo from Painkiller plays through the pods speakers and when the riff starts the ride starts spinning. The ride gets faster and kicks into mega mode when the soloing starts. Again, the song is shorted but not by a lot, about a minute or so.
There are 2 paths after this zone, that go to the following zones.
The first of these zones is Glam Zone. Obviously, this zone is dedicated to the flamboyancy of glam in the 80s. Again, the zone contains a few stores and a couple more sideshows and also 2 main ride.
The first main ride is The Ratt Trap. This ride is again not a carriage based ride. Instead 2 people are put inside a long pod and a strapped in or whatever. The ride is high and is one of those rides that are like a ferris wheel but are fast and you go upside down, but theres only 1 pod. The ride nearly does a full spin (going forwards) but when the pod is upside down it 'struggles to about a ¾ revelation, this is pretending to be like when you cant pull something back far enough. Out of nowhere the 'struggle' is released and the pod does a lot of very fast rotations. Round and Round plays during the ride.
The next ride in Glam Zone is Crüe Coaster. This is a carriage based rollercoaster based on Mötley Crüe. It starts with Shout at the Devil with a quite slow chain lift. The carriage then stops and Live Wire starts. When the drums come in the carriage drops and the carriage goes through various exciting turns, loops and corkscrews. When the calm bit comes and that slide sound play the carriage slows and comes to the station.
The final zone is Thrash Zone. Obviously, it's based on Thrash Metal and predominantly The Big 4. Again, sideshows and stalls are here. There are 4 main rides, again based on The Big 4.
The first ride is Headcrusher and yeah, it's the Megadeth one. This is a single person ride. Therider first is escorted into a lift which takes you up quite high. You are then securely strapped onto a platform and it tilts back so the rider is lying down. The rider is then set off through the doors. On the ceiling a 'reflection' is shown but it's actually a video with Vic Rattlehead replacing you. Also, he is slightly ahead. You see Vic come up to a 'break' in the track and the video shuts off. You then come to it and there is crashing, Headcrusher starts playing and the track drops quite quickly. You are then unstrapped and let out.
The next ride is the Metallica one and instead of it being a thrill ride as such it's more of a thrilling visual experience. It is called The Battle of Music and is taglined with ...Ride the Lightning. The riders (it can hold a few as it's quite long) are put into a monorail style train which has tge top blown off so you can see much easier. The track playing is One and the ride is baased on the war story of the song and music video. There are various segments based on the tempo. The intro with the calm solos is soldiers preparing for war. During the fast solo the train passes through an epic warzone and the train violently shakes. There are also a few other 4-D treats on this ride.
The next ride is the Anthrax one and it is called The Indians Rapids. Based around the song Indians this ride is another water one and is a rapids ride. The riders are put in a circular carriage and are set off down to water. The scenery is vaguely stereotypical of Native American culture (wigwams and stuff). The song is also obviously Indians. Again, based on the tempo of the song the ride becomes more or less thrilling. The highlight of the ride is entering a dark shack and a Native American is slightly lit up and an arrow being fired sfx plays and an arrow on the other side of you lights up. When you are distracted by this this carriage goes down a big and dark drop, drenching you. You then exit.
The final ride is the Slayer one and the Slayer ride obviously has to be a horror/dark ride, so it is. It is called Red Storm. The song Raining Blood plays. The 4-person carriage enters the ride and it's very dark and the thundering intro of the song plays, making lights flash. When the intro riff starts the whole room flashes and you see it's all red and dripping. You turn and the speedy riff starts. The ride rushes through gruesome scenes and the penultimate moment is meeting a bloody, red cloud. The cart slowly approaches and as a quick shock a scream is played. When slowly approaching the cloud, it starts raining, red (the riders are pre-warned about this moment). The riders go through the rain and an evil laugh is heard. The riders then exit.
So, that is my theme park. I did want to have a Black Sabbath ride but I didn't have any ideas and I also had another Anthrax ride called Madhouse, but 2 horror rides are enough.
