Where the roller coasters tho??

There's a small one in the left of the first photo. I would love a very big, scary one though! It looks like another small one is being built left of the ferris wheel

for those of you that might be interested in the first of 2 new rollercoasters going in at COTALAND

One ride almost completed.

They couldn't even get this coaster finished for this year's race. Very slow going. Also it looks very bare bones. Like a backyard shed and cover...

This looks like Bubba’s Roadside Carnival. I can’t even begin to describe what I dislike about it.

Thank you - I was hoping I wasn't the only forum (fairly) regular who felt that way. Even if you pick that coaster up and drop it into a -real- theme park it just looks cheesy and unimpressive. I'm not surprised it's taking so long to complete as I'm sure it's being built by a bare minimal construction crew. Even that aspect of this park is just cheap and pitiful...

Yeah, my first reaction was that it seems incredibly small. If it weren't for the steep grade there, I'd think it was a kiddie ride.

There was a huge staging area at Lot L which looked like parts for COTA Land rides.

This should end up being a ***somewhat*** significant amusement park. about a year ago they made around 10 FAA filings for rides up to ~280'. But COTA doesn't seem to do anything fast.

View of downtown from Turn 11

Bit ironic, though...
