Where the roller coasters tho??

gillynova · #**2704** Posted **Dec 7, 2023, 4:19 PM**

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

gillynova · #**2707** Posted **Jul 8, 2024, 7:40 PM**

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...

Here is a little aerial view of the ongoing construction at Cotaland.

The park will have 36 rides and operate as a year-round amusement park. They also have plans to expand the park and continue adding attractions, they are planned out for the next 6 years.

The park will have a two-story bar/restaurant/retail space that overlooks turn 20 of the track.

gillynova · #**2719** Posted **Feb 10, 2025, 8:24 PM**

They're going pretty slow. Can't wait for all of it to be completed!

SproutingTowers · #**2720** Posted **Feb 12, 2025, 4:39 PM**

What Bobby Epstein needs to do with the land across the road is to have Ferrari World USA build there like in Abu Dhabi to help Austin be a family destination.
