Phase III not only represents the third park in the project, but will also represent THREE new maps to the project and all three will fit a specific theme/concept. Because the scope of the project has grown, the single parking facility is not big enough to support the needs the current plans. That said, a second parking facility will be created to not only support the two other new maps, but will also support Target Fields (TF). This second parking facility will also reduce the traffic congestion around the resorts.
The second map will be another sporting complex, only no “ball” will be used at this location, however it is one of the most popular sporting events in the country. International Speedway Corp, NASCAR and Marriott’s have teamed up and will be building a world class race track that will host it’s first NASCAR event on the 2009 schedule. Ground for Marriott International Speedway (MIS) has already been broken and construction is well on it’s way. We are hoping to show some construction photos shortly.
Now for the big news that we are excited to announce as to what the third map will be. Back in 2005, as a member of the RCT Masters, rwadmas and I teamed up to create NASCAR Experience. Although we were very happy with the end result and it was rewarding with an NE Blockbuster, we were not able to complete it too the detail we had in mind due to a pesky object limit. In short, we had unfinished business. That brings us to today in which I’m happy to announce the third map for Phase III and perhaps the most exciting/thrilling map of the project, Marriott’s NASCAR Experience 2 (MNE2)! MNE2 will feature a similar concept as the original in that all the coasters will be racing/dueling in addition to featuring highlights from all three racing series. The biggest news though is this will not be a solo park from me. As with the original version, I will be teaming up with a fellow NASCAR fan in the design of the park. I for one am excited to be working with this person as I feel that not only our interest in NASCAR is similar, but that our styles should work very well together. With that, I’m proud to announce that CP6 will be joining the project and will play a vital role on the MNE2 map.
Below you will find the current overview with the proposed layout of the three new maps and how it will fit in the grand scheme of things. The yellow titles are maps that have been previously released and the three green titles will represent Phase III
Well, there you have it. Again, I want to thank everyone for the support during this project.
