Bell Gardens [RCT3]

Bell Gardens To Open Sunday
North County Times, April 20th, 1967

A new garden park, Bell Gardens is set ot open to the public for the first time this Sunday and the turn out is expected to be quite large. The gardens will feature five attractions, and beautiful scenery to admire. The park manager, Alexander Knight, has declined an interview at this time, say only this: "I have worked hard to make this park become a reality over the past several years, and I think people need to come see for themselves, and not just let me describe it for them". The park, located in Rancho Santa Fe, is expected to become a hit with locals, and tourists who come to San Diego for parks like Sea World and Belmont Park. North County Times will have a full report on opening day, as Mr. Knight has invited us to attend the opening. The park will cost five dollars to enter, and will include free rides on the Bell Gardens Express, the parks train. The other four unknown rides are expected to cost $0.50 each.

Hello, I am Alexander Knight, and I would like to welcome you to Bell Gardens. Oh! I see you saw this article in the paper! Well, thank you for checkng out the park! You are one of our first guests, why don't I show you around? Are you a thrill seeker? You are! Oh how wonderful, you will love our park's midway! Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself, why don't we get started on our tour?

Nice little Park you got there, and i guess the new attraction is going to be a small coaster, probably a wild mouse or a Junior coaster.

Dear Mr. Heart,

I hope to see you there, enjoy the discount coupon included below!

Oh, Mr. Heart! I'm glad to see you here. The park really has been thriving these first few months, and attendance is on the rise! Anyway, our new ride will open in about an hour, so why don't we hit the train?

It's not bad, but you could really use a little custom scenery here and there. I think that would really help the park a lot.

Looks like I was wrong, love it I also agree with CD5, but hey, it's your park.

Dear Mr Heart,

I am quite happy to announce that our newest attraction, and our first coaster, will open on Saturday morning. We've spent many hours developing this ride, and I hope I'll see you at the opening day special event! Your ticket to enter the event is enclosed to the envelope, and I hope you enjoy the ride!

Your friend,

Alexander Knight

Ah, Mr. Heart! It is so good to see you! It's been so long since we last talked! Well, I've been busy too, developing a new way for guests to have fun! Our new coaster, Little Lightning, opens today and I'm very excited you could make it!

To Mr. Thomas Heart, March 5, 1969.

Hello, Mr. Heart! Seems like only yesterday I was telling you about our first roller coaster, Little Lightning! This year, we're adding a high flying attraction dubbed, Cloud Wheel. Be sure to come this weekend for the opening! On another note, last year we saw record attendance with the addition of Little Lightning. The amount of revenue we've recived is phenominal, so expect bigger rides a attractions in the future.

Your Friend,

Alexander Knight

Oh hello Mr. Heart, great to see you again at the start of a new and exciting season here at Bell Gardens! I see you are admiring our newest attraction, Cloud Wheel.

Nice looking park so far, It's got a lot classic charm. My only dislike would be the train length on your wooden coaster. 2 Cars is extremely small, I think it would look a lot greater with 3 or 4 cars.

To Mr. Thomas Heart, July 9, 1970

Dear Mr. Heart,

Hello, this is your old friend Alexander Knight. I was wondering if you could come down and see me at Bell Gardens this weekend if you are not to busy. I would like to share a few things with one of our most highly held guests at this park since the begining. Currently, we are in the talks with some companies about different types of attractions for our future development. This year was the first year nothing was added, but several key changes were made to prepare the park for our 10 year development project. I would be very happy if you could make it down and here our proposal for the city.

Your Friend,

Alexander Knight

PS. If you are able to attend, I will even tell you some of the ideas for major upcomming attractions, and some that we scrapped!

Mr. Heart! It is wonderful to see you here at this wonderful park again! I see you got my letter. Why don't we step into my office.

All right. Let's get down to business.

This year we've made some key changes to the park to prepare for our expansion over the next decade or so. We have been talking with different companies about building rides and attractions for Bell Gardens. One project, the oly one I cannot speak of, is currently under construction near the old location of the Zipper. Oh! No no no no, we didn't remove the Zipper, it was relocated to the left of its original location. Here are some of the concepts we've been been talking about.

Thunder Racer: PTC, after making Little Lightning also gave us a concept for a set of racing roller coasters named Thunder Racer. It would be located near the zipper, and could possibly go over the train tracks.

Santa Fe Falls:A high adventure log ride taking you through a forest, and ending with a thirty foot plunge!

Legend Of the Mountain: An adventurous journey through a man made mountain.

Super Swings: A chair swing attraction sitting on a small hill to give a sense of flight.

Well thats all we have for now, but there are a few more classified projects I can;t tell anyone right now, but one will be revealed next year.

Lets have a look around the park shall we?

Lightning's train looks a lot better now. I will be watching closely for the Thunder Racer!
