Here's my latest park "Belmark Gardens" a theme park inspired on the Merlin parks - most notably Gardaland and Hedie.
This park features 9 roller coasters, 3 dark Rides, 2 water rides and several flat rides. Belmark has many themed areas some of which are IP based.

This area is themed to a 50s raceway and is largely inspired by Alton Towers' "Thunder Rock Rally".

The main attraction is "High Gear" an Intamin Accelerator. In my head cannon this was opened in 2004 so it has a very short and basic layout similar to Rita and Stealth.

It's not a Mainland Europe Merlin park without a Peppa Pig land. Maybe an Intamin blasting through the area would be too intense for young kids, but what you gonna do?

This mess of wood and steel is the Western area of the park. It's Main Attraction being Quake a B&M Mini Dive Coaster themed to oil drilling. This area also features Ghostbusters 5D which is similar to the ride at Hedie Park. Freight Runner is a Vekoma Mine Train which is also in this area, while not heavily themed it features plenty of interaction with existing rides.

The Exotic themed area is the largest in the park and features some of the park's most impressive rides including "Colossus" a Intamin Mega Coaster built in 2001. This also includes "Temple's Curse" a Vekoma Madhouse and Phoenix a standard Vekoma SLC.

The parks' latest coaster is "Knight's Coaster" a GCI wooden coaster which is targeted towards the "family/thrill" demographic. Inspired by Wicker Man and Invadr.

I'll be posting all the POV's for the coasters and dark rides soon as well as a full park tour.

Let me know what you think!
