View Full Version : Strictly hypothetical
(Brinn and DC if you feel this thread belongs elsewhere go ahead and moved it. I wasn't sure exactly if this was general or off topic.
I want to hear ideas of your ideal ORV park, For no other reason other than I am curious i know what I would like in a park, but I want to hear other "Utopic" dreams.
Include amenities you want to have access to, such as food shacks, compressors, tools (park provided) all the way to type of trails available.
For bonus points, if you know of any land or area that might a park like yours would be suitable, let me know where it is at. (mostly for my thirst of knowledge of the area I now reside in)
So no one has their own ideal "theme" park? and everyone is happy with what we have already?
Well, my ideal park would involve a bunch of nekid chics and a cold keg at the end of every trail... :xbeer1: :boobies:
I could go into more detail if you want, but I think it's pretty self explanatory. :D

smart ass!
ask you shall recieve...
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Well, I don't like mud all that much but I do like hills... Not big into rocks, but I'm also not lifted. I really like scenery like you get on mountain sides or over lakes, etc. Lots of turns are good, it's kinda fun to almost feel lost. I also like water for some reason, I love driving through water!
So, add that all together and it would be something like: Dry curvy trails on a hilly mountain side with lots of streams to cross! :driving:
Oh, and naked women and beer kegs at the end of every trail!
that covers the terrain, what kind of amenities?
I am thinking a well supplied shop, air station, camp grounds, shower house and power spray booth for rinsing vehicles off. decent snack shop.
What else am I missing?
should "insects" (atv's) be allowed?
Oh! and open up a strip club right next to the office! LOL

OK I'll bite......
Fab Shop: welder (MIG/TIG), tubing bender, notcher, frame rack, plasma cutter, huge air compressor w/ 4 shop outlets and 6 external out lets.
Camp Site: Tent site w/ concert pads, RV/camper hooks ups, Bunk House style cabins (sleeps 12), a couple Cabins 2,4,& 6 persons, shower house for tents/campers, bunk house and cabins have own shower, camp store/ snack shack. and a gas station ((Unleaded (85-93 octane), 110 Av Gas, Kerosine, Diesel, Propane, maybe some good 116 octane VP stuff also))
Trails: Id like for it to be as natural as can be..... But some nice trails w/ good scenery, some great rock crawling (something like Rouse Creek), challenging Hill climbs, maybe some mud pits... maybe, basically something for everyone and enough of it that no one bitches about "you can do everything in 2wd or or have to have a buggy to do anything".
Location: Isolated enough that users have to use your accommodations, or t least that it makes scene to, but still close enough that its popular. I know asking to much but you said Hypothetically
Plan: Offer enugh other stuff (fab shop, gas station, camping and camp store) not to have to charge a lot for wheeling. Strip club if need be.
you need an extra plate for all that "pie" you are ordering up? LOL
Av110 gas? is that for ATV's or something? like a 2 cycle mix or something?
never been to rouse Creek, but I am guessing it is like Arizona and wheel'n, nothing but rock!
So when are you leaving?

some of the carb guys like running 110 its just low lead 110 octane.
been gone, coming home this weekend to get rest of my stuff.
I thought you had already left but wasn't sure.
I have been meaning to mix in some suneco110 into my truck but then it went down and I have yet to try it.
could be fun for a while. LOL

also as much i hate to im not sure you could ban ATVs in that area and make it work, at least not at first, a lot more of them. at least as a business.
True, and believe it or not, that is where parks make money! Alot more of them these days than there are of full size rigs. and their numbers are growing, along with the side by sides!

Seems like you guys have it worked out, all sounds GREAT to me. But here is my take on ATV's; I think it would be great but there needs to be some seperate area for them. My daughter wants an ATV and the thought of letting her wheel around why Pops wheels around would be kinda neat. However, when I was at the Badlands awhile ago climbing hils I almost ran over some ATV's just sitting on top of the hill far enough back that you couldn't see them until you were at the top.
I don't know who scared who first but I was coming over the top in the FJ screaming OH SH_T looking at the kids that had the "deer in the headlights" look. Way to close for comfort, my wife said we were done because she felt some kid was going to get hurt.
That was before I lifted the rig, I told her that now I think I could ride over them if they ducked.
enuf said.........
On the futuristic park,,,,just rmember to keep it fun. Have some sort of event as often as possible. Have some pavillions to rent out so folks can come and have "wheellin Partys". And of course, way in the back, at the end of a scenic trail that consists of mud to run thru, creeks to cross, rocks to crawl and hills to climb would be "Griz's Strip Club".
Yee Haa!
Yea, that is why I call ATV's insects, they are always all over the place and annoy the heck out of you and always show up at the wrong time (on top of climbs)
But let's face it, ATV's are going to be at any park, so you have to work around them But like the badlands, I say separate them as much as possible by having ATV only trails and full size rig only trails. ATV's are not allowed down in the quarry at Badlands for similar reasons you mentioned plus they are certain types of terrain they do not belong on (rock gardens and such)
Oh yea, and my wife 86'ed the strip club idea also! even though I gave her a good "arguement" for it. But then realized again, this is totally hypothetical anyway. :lmao:

If there was a strip club I would never make it to the trails...hypothetically speaking of course! :D
Well hypothetically speaking my wife won't let me put a strip club anywhere near my fantasy park! LOL
So I guess we are both S.O.L

my ideal orv park would be a corr track with mud drags, and it would have a good convience store with alcohol, and a big poll bar with lifts, and tools, so people could rent them out by the hour and fix there rig if they needed to, so they could get back to wheelin :) and a parts store almost like a advance or napa. and if enough room a campground. oh and trucks/vehicals ONLY.
There is 1,500+ acres of reclaimed land no more than 5 miles from my house (donated to the county by the now defunct strip mine company that owned it) that is about to become a county-owned ORV/horse park. We're talking about this same stuff at the local club meetings.

I'll take it! :D
If only they are giving it away upon looks! :o that would be the only way I could afford it, and everyone knows my good looks would definitely be enough:rolleyes:
Hoss, keep an eye on that area though. if we as a chapter/club can have some input on it's development I can only see that as a good thing.

Hoss, don't you live in Henderson?
I found 18,000 acres in Utah! cheap also, about $1500 an acre. But I think I would not want to open a park there because the area is way too beautiful! Rivers and streams, mountains and meadows. Straight out of the Bonanza intro!
What's that young whipper snapper? what is "Bonanza"? Ask Hoss, he might know with a nicker like his!
but if dreams were cheap I might be able to afford a pot to piss in!
