The debut of RCT Station's first
Pinnacle Park Spotlight is none other than the Stations' finest
and most profound park maker, Mike Robbins. Mike's Virginia
Creek Theme Park brings to us a showcase of roller coaster
conception, architectural prowess, and superior awe inspiring
scenery. Although not a true sequel to Mike's earlier creation,
Virginia Historic Park, it has the charm and feel of its predecessor.
The park is situated in the town
of Hopewell, a fictional place off of the main expressway
in Virginia and contains the most prolific parking lot in
RCT2's brief history. This painstaking task must have taken
Mike hours to complete and is equipped with everything from
your main gate where parking fees are due to the handicap
parking area situated next to the entrance of the park.
Upon entrance to the park you
find yourselves shrouded in a world of beautiful scenery and
architecture. Mike is world-renowned for his minute (pronounced
mi-nõõt´) attention to detail and life-like roller coasters,
both of which are proudly displayed here. You will find shopping
galore, if that is your kind of thing or if you tend to be
more of a food connoisseur you will need to explore the parks
many cuisine eatery's and restaurants.
This park features 7 fantastic
roller coasters from the 300 foot tall Giga Coaster named
Forest Blazer to the richly themed and jaw-dropping Coal
Miner, which is an Electric Mine Train Ride, fun for all
ages. Forest Blazer previously mentioned provides it
riders with an overwhelming 19.29 seconds of air time and
speeds in excess of 100mph. But wait there's more. We have
two wonderfully themed and picturesque wooden roller coasters,
Lumberjack and Black Bear, an inverted steel
twister named Blue Ridge Screamer which has the best
coaster station in the park, a steel flyer named Wild Fire
and finally Dynamite Blaster, a stand up twister. Each
one of these coasters is a spectacle in itself and will have
you literally on the edge of your seat.
And if your nausea rating isn't
up for any of the thrilling roller coasters you can discover
a multitude of nicely themed and scenic flat rides, a river
rapids ride, a log flume ride, a river raft ride or even a
scenic railroad that traverse the entire layout of the park
both ways. Coasters, architecture, themes, scenery, landscaping;
there is nothing this park doesn't have which is why RCT Station
is proud to present its first Pinnacle Park Spotlight award
to Mike Robbins and his remarkable Virginia Creek Theme Park.
