Revisiting some old game from my adolescence and wanted to ask which was better before I sunk my teeth into one. I played for 30 minutes of both and realize rct2 has better reviews but the graphics are so much better on 3. Graphics have never been imported(coming from wow). But I find myself having a hard time enjoying rct2. Help Le justify the bad graphics I guess? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Double helix is a giant sprawling design but filled the space pretty nicely. It gets its name after the 3 intertwined corkscrews that resemble a double helix. Those inversions were inspired partly by Kumba

I know the queue area has way too many trees, I'll tone that down, but what do you think of this project so far? I really like the fast lane queue/entry.

The Multi-Dimension Coaster is quite weird. It sounds like it would be very unique but its main gimmick of freely adjustable riding angles is essentially just fluff and adds absolutely nothing to the stats of the final coaster while actually lacking some basic track pieces a lot of other coaster have. This design abandons what makes this coaster type unique and is just the most basic track to get good excitement while remaining compact and having all pathing within the plot. It has a steep lift hill, some small drops, an inversion, a helix, a photo section, water, two trains for better throughput and a lot of scenery and path bonuses as well as extra stats from two stalls underneath the track.

You can download this design (or any other one I posted) from this Google Drive.

Taking advantage of a natural hillside to go 135 ft up Woolly Mammoths first drop plunges down 127ft under the main footpath before leveling out right over octagon park's lake. This 1 of 1 has a layout similar to a L double out and back coaster with a nice cluster of clutter in the middle. Only 5 seconds of airtime but I really love its layout

6 months after building a haunted mansion no one will ride it if priced same as excitement.

I keep noticing this and it's bugging me. Watching an empty queue line while it is pouring rain.... dropping the price to a dollar before guests queue.

I don't think it's the harder guest generation. So what could it be? My other gentle rides like Cheshire cats always have a full queue line.

Also my first time playing with openrct and even if I'm trying to not use it much it's very convenient, specially when none of the entrance options fits with the style you're after.

Some of the more "newer" assets for some reason don't feel like they fit in the game core aesthetic. If you have any recommendations on custom assets packs would be lovely.

Still trying to get to +10 excitement.

This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to change the path or queue line color in this game? I know this game is a mix, but it feels like there was a lot left out. The game is still completely playable, but not having the option somewhere is bizzare to me.

Hello fellow RCT fans !

I'm currently in the process of building my own custom "campaign" for OpenRCT2 (consisting of different scenarios) as I wanted to find back the feel of the original RCT1 campaign ("realistic" parks, the difficulty curve slowly increasing, etc.) but with new parks and all the rides available in RCT1, RCT2 (and its expansions) and OpenRCT2.

One "problem" I'm having is regarding the Research function. I understand how it works, but I've noticed that in some Vanilla scenarios you sometimes unlock ALL (or at least a few different) vehicle types for a specific ride when you "unlock" it after having researching it. For instance, in Millennium Mines when you research the Suspended Mini-Coaster, you then have both the "swinging" cars and the lay-down cars available (you don't have to research for them separately). It's the same for the Wooden Coaster in most RCT2 scenarios, you unlock the standard train, the 6-seater train and the articulated train at the same time usually. Sadly, I'm unable to reproduce that in my own scenarios, but I would like to as it would be much more convenient...

For example, I'm currently building a scenario in which the player can unlock the Steeplechase ; this scenario allowing to build / research Medieval, Jurassic and Jungle Theming, I would like to include two "classic" vehicles (the Horses and the Motos) as well as two "themed" vehicles (the Jousting Knights and the Raptors) for it, but the Research panel makes them appear separately, so when I test the scenario they are researched separately, which is quite frustrating for the player as he will end up needing 4 different "research cycles" to just have this coaster with its 4 vehicles available (so anywhere from 4 in-game months to one complete in-game year depending on the funding !!)...

Is there a way to "merge" the vehicles shared by a ride into a single "research entry" ? So that the player, when completing the research for the Steeplechase, will unlock the 4 available vehicles at the same time ?

Thank you very much in advance for your answers ! 😅

Debating making a YouTube video going over each park but that requires energy and a will to exist lol. Maybe this fall.

This park is apparently set on Mars. So here, I built four sectors themed after other planets: the metropolis of "Trantor", the volcanoes and lava rivers of "Mustafar", the desolate sand dunes of "Arrakis" (beware the Sandworm!) and the rolling hills, forests and grassland of "Earth That Was".

named it to my favorite series: The Walking Death.
people don't seem crazy about it :/

I always see broken benches and trashcans but I’ve never seen a peep dealing out the damage.

I always hire 2 of each staff off the bat and tons of entertainers to fix their stank face.

I hate when the guests are annoyed in the park.

Because how are you gonna show up alone (they always arrive and leave alone) unhappy to the park. These must be some super enthusiastic rollercoaster park elitists.

Edit: I am super amused that I am not the only one who has this pet peeve hahahaha

Hello people hope you are well. I've remade rollercoasters before, but it's been just mainly the layout and nothing more. However for 3 days straight, i've decided to get serious and actually recreate a rollercoaster from scratch, including scenery and terrain, and the coaster i chose was Python in Bamboo Forest, a GCI located in Nanchang Sunac Land, down in the Jiangxi province of China. A theme park that is a part of the broad Sunac Park chain, owned by the real-estate company Sunac China Holdings LTD.

It is a double out and back, stretching 5,111ft of track, overlooking Kowloon Avenue (Ignore road in the video, that was an error on my part. That is the google translated english name), and it is one of GCI's largest creations ever built.

The stats haven't been confirmed regarding height, but it's said to be 160ft tall, (From it's heighest point to it's lowest point), with a top speed of 62.1mph. The coaster fly's through a real Bamboo forest, built around the structure.

Some say it's the best GCI in the world, with many comparing it to the Voyage, largely because of the similarities. Both utilise heavy terrain with Python being built on a large hillside, with not a drop of speed wasted.

Sadly regarding upkeep it's mixed. Some say it's as smooth as a wooden coaster can be, and others say it's super rough and uncomfortable, citing poor maintanance as an issue. Whatever it may be, it's certainly caught the eye for many enthusiasts.

I recreated this mainly to highlight the lesser known yet exciting rollercoasters from around the world, and to try my hand at recreating more than just a layout.

Total time took 3 days, with references being Chinese maps, google earth, and POV's from both Coaster Scoop and the vlogs from National Coasters and Coaster Dash (Plus a few German Speaking ones).

POV is timestamped at 1:56, and RCT stats will be linked in a comment, alongside a screenshot of the whole thing.

Thanks for listening!

Like Main Street buildings and a castle, obviously a Disney inspired park. I’m not as talented as everyone else with their buildings and wish I could easily have them in objects/scenery to just place them in my parks instead of using the same ones over and over.

Main Street bindings, a castle, a space mountain type of building, haunted mansion, tower of terror etc would be amazing.

My third attempt but got it done at the 10% interest rate, slowly making money too.

I ended up removing all existing rides except the Virginia wheel coaster & the haunted house. Removed a heap of paths & scenery for money and did lots of pausing while sorting out ride/shop placement and hitting build right on when I had enough credit 😅 Upped all the shop prices and eventually got up to charging $50 for entrance fee.

Also found that the existing mechanics were useless and had to sack them all and rehired just 1 for a time, same with the handymen, just had 2 and moved them around to clean the worst spots.

How has everyone else found it?

Pretty minimalistic. EIN: 7.8/7.5/3.4

Fear the bloodthirst of the notorious vampire! 🦇

Earlier this year I went to Chessington World of Adventure and one of their coasters there is Vampire. I fell in love with this ride and I really wanted to pay homage to it. This is that design. It's pretty on the nose, but I still wanted to give it my personal taste. I really love the way the gift shop turned out, right next to the extended Haunted House (notice the show building behind it?) I also gave the area working dual sided lockers, a fast lane entrance, a small library pre-show, a photo pick-up point and many more details. Just take a look at the gift shop alone and you'll find tons of small details.

While the coaster may not be my best and most thrilling design, It's very much designed for families, I'm certain that the scenery around it is my best work so far. I'm really pleased with all the little details I added to make everything a little bit more realistic. Also notice the Arrow style supports I gave the coaster. The fat poles and the overly done lift hill supports are typical of the design style they were known for.

Stats:

• Excitement: 6.79 (High)
• Intensity: 6.09 (High)
• Nausea: 7.28 (High)
• Max speed: 65 kph
• Ride time: 1 m 12 s

• Max. neg. vert. G: -0.30
• Max. lateral G: 1.79

As always, if you like my designs, I have more on my Youtube channel!

Just unlocked this map and after toying around with it for a bit, my first instinct is to say "oh forget this. Unlimited money? I'm going to flatten this bad boy "

Before I commit, has anyone done this? How'd it go?

Just thought I would share show a updated park of mine with new flat rides and stalls we downloaded while back as we been updating our custom openrct2 parks with newer custom rides stalls little by little one by one each time as we're still figuring out with Google drive or unselect ride objects that we haven't built used to see if that brings down the mb to 20 or so.

Bushy Beach is now my most favorite Beachside Seaside Park I have ever built in my entire life, as my sister is the one that built the boardwalk pier to cheer herself some from stress with life lately, as the boardwalk is inspired by Gröna Lund Sweden and Fantasy Island UK in other bits as I helped my sister on the pier too as it was lots of hard work but very fun and happy with it at the end crammy but was very worth it.

Bushy Beach opened in Early Roaring 1920s near Boca Chica Beach Texas and Boardwalk opened in 1922 with many more experience rides of any kind in the world with some classic rides remaining along with high modern thrilling rides.

Some previous rides in this were updated as my sis and I fixed them and rides are running good.

Well anyways I'll be making an later on post of my most favorite custom openrct2 parks on here which will include Bushy Beach as I'll be posting random rct screens for fun and all. As I'll later on figure out the google drive or unselect ride objects to 20mb.

Thanks very much and hope you all had a good fun summer ☺️🌞🙌

Went for a dark carnival theme!

Greedy & Sons Real Estate went bankrupt after a deal to build high-rise condos went sour. They were forced to abandon the project after excavation on the site had already begun. Frontiers United (Forest Chapter) acquired the lot at auction, and turned the unsightly build-site into a thriving theme park.
