Reach Valley- RCT3 Park [PICTURE HEAVY]

In 1965 Reach Valley was literally just that... A Valley, but in 1980 a small funfair was built there, pulling in quite a few visitors each year. Eventually, they installed their first coaster. It was a Vekoma mine train coaster, a simple family ride. It was however a custom layout with large throughput and an interesting layout. When the park closed at the end of the 1999 season, they made a big decision. They were going to install some BIG rides.
In 2001 when they re-opened, they had 2 major areas:
-Ranch Creek, a western area including the Mine train, a new inverting coaster and a drop tower
-Extreme Egypt, An Egyptian themed area with an Intamin giga and a flat ride by an undisclosed company.

After many years of development, this is what the park looks like today, in 2006:

In 2004, an area was built which has since been nicknamed by fans as "CarParkLand". It features 2 rides.

When the park opened in 2006, a new area was added which was heavily themed as a tropical city, to compensate for "CarParkLand"

It included a Twister:

There is also an empty area which was left. Perhaps for a future coaster? It is said that something massive is on it's way...

All scenery is made with in-game objects. Custom Tracked rides are listed below:
-S&S El Loco
- Intamin Aquatrax
 
Speculation of the new ride continues at "Reach Ragers" forum, where the following post was found:
Ermagherd! I was browsing some local planning applications and found something for Reach Valley! It appears we're getting an Intamin. It doesn't state what ride type, but it says that it will definitely be filling the empty space by Forgotten Temple. More news soon!
