[RCT3] Jurassic World Theme Park

This is my first post on TPR but I've looked on as many other awesome parks have been created and displayed on this forum. This isn't my first park but I've been putting a lot of work into it.

I'm not going to pretend its a real park, I'm not as good at making it realistic as some of the better parks on this site, so lets just go for it.

With the success of Jurassic World at the box office, Universal Studios has begun ground work on a brand new Jurassic World themed park at (I'd probably guess Beijing but Florida works too). The new theme park will feature lands based on all of the Jurassic Park films and feature both highly themed attractions and exhilarating thrill rides.

Now, heres what I've got so far (planning wise) but I'd like any suggestions to what fills out the rest of the park.

Areas:

Main Street: based on the Main Street featured in the film; Jurassic World, Guests enter through the Samsung Innovation Centre and find themselves on main street, there will be no rides here, just shops including Winston's Steakhouse, Margaritaville, Ben&Jerry's, etc.

at the end of the street is the mosasaur lagoon and to the right is the Imax Theatre with Pterosaur 3D playing.

(going clockwise from Main Street)

Mosasaur Cove: Water park, nothing much planned yet but we'll see how we go)

Gentle Giants Petting Zoo: A kids area with dinosaur themed rides (ideas wanted)

Stegosaurus Swamp: A misty land of waterways and swamp dwelling dinosaurs. The major attraction in this land is Stegosaurus Mountain Rafting Co. in which you board a raft to find a missing Stegosaurus that finishes with a terrifying plunge from Stegosaurus Falls. (other ride ideas?)

Triceratops Territory: Nothing planned here yet

Ingen Raptor Testing Ground: based on the raptor enclosure from Jurassic World, the main attraction of this area is a Motorbike coaster that takes you on a mission with the raptors to find the escaped Indominus-Rex.

The Old Park: This is currently the part of the park I have worked on the most. It is home to the Jurassic Park Visitor's centre and so far the Jurassic Park River Adventure (pretty much a clone of the original one). There is also a Thunder Falls Terrace Grill next to the falls. There'll be some more rides here but I haven't decided that yet.

The Aviary: The Aviary is a massive glass structure containing a gentle rafts ride and some of a flying coaster. On Pteranodon River Rafts guests are tasked with spraying down some angry Pteranodons with water guns, but look out, guests from the shore can spray you too! Pterosaur is a massive flying coaster that puts you on a mission to stop escaped Pterosaurs, you dive into the aviary and fly through it before skimming along the lake and end up in a final confronation with an escaped pterosaur in a diamond cave.

Tyrannosaur Kingdom: I assume there'll be a big coaster here but apart from that I'm not sure yet.

There is also a monorail which circles the lake in the middle of the park.

So yeah, thats it so far, here's some photos

The Aviary: Pterosaur is on the left and the Pteranodon river is seen going through it, there is a roof but the draw distance hides it. Also the monorail goes through it too.

The Jurassic Park River Adventure (no roof on the show building yet with Thunder Falls Terrace in the middle and the queue line for the JPRA on the far left next to the monorail station (incomplete)

Stegosaurus Mountain Rafting Co.

For the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo, maybe a family coaster that rides on the back of the dinosaurs with long necks would fit? Also, for either the Mosasaur Cove or the Stegosaurus area, a jaws-style ride might work with either a giant crocodile or something like that

Exited to see how this turns out!

You say that you're not good at making parks.

Judging by what you gave us, I say you're VERY good, much better than me for sure. The B&M Flyer is really good and I love the amount of detail you put into the scenery. Good job man! I really hope you continue this.

Thanks so much for the input, so how does this sound:

Stampede! (Name may change) is a Family coaster that dives under, over and through a herd of stampeding apatosaurs, some terrain running through rock work as well underneath the dinosaurs.

Dinosuchus creek paddle steamer (unless somebody can suggest a good ctr): scenic ride down from the top of dinosuchus creek to the lake past wading dinosaurs, abandoned facilities, native villages and a scary encounter with a dinosuchus (giant crocodile) (might need to find a custom scenery piece or something for this one)

Hope these match your ideas! They definitely gave me quite a few and i'll upload photos once they're in the park!

Okay so I thought maybe some close ups might help.

Thanks so much man, I really appreciate it

Cool nice idea, Just a little thing you should get Moby's Glasshouse and frameworks set for the indoor section so you can make diagonal walls and more a realistic building, But I like the colour scheme of the B&M. keep it up

I regret nothing. Good park though, I like the flyer going throut the glass building!

Awesome idea! Yeah the aviary's lack of realism does annoy me so that'll definitely be part of my updates to the park

So here's today's update, I have changed the aviary to Moby's Glasshouse and Frameworx to improve the realism (as per CoasterB's suggestion), I think it looks heaps better. I also did some minor cosmetic changes on the rock work (to work with the new structure) and fixed up the exit path for the flying coaster 'Pteranodon'.

Presenting Jurassic World's second coaster (based on a suggestion by Battlerams)

Sauropod Stampede

'SAUROPOD STAMPEDE'

This family coaster puts you right in the middle of a herd of stampeding Apatosaurus, as you fly under, over and around the giant dinosaurs, after climbing the lift hill, guests dive into a canyon dodging rocks and weaving through a herd of the biggest animals to ever walk the earth.

Weaving around the apatosaurus

Also beginning to take shape is Main Street:

Your coaster stations look great! i love the roofing Keep up the good work!

Another Update:

Currently under construction is a new attraction: Deinosuchus Creek Paddlesteamer; this scenic journey takes you along a creek brimming with wildlife before a action packed encounter with Deinosuchus; a 10m long crocodile.

Deinosuchus Creek (the Paddle Steamer will start on the right and finish near the bridge on the left

For the attraction a new river has been constructed behind Stegosaurus Mountain, with a smaller, scenic river attached to the larger river used for the paddle steamer.

Main Street looking back towards the soon to be built visitor's centre

Main Street is taking shape with a lot of the facades being nearly completed, Main Street will feature the following food & shopping options:

- Jurassic Traders Gift Shop

- Winston's Steakhouse

- Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville

- Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream

- Brookstones

- More to be added along the waterfront (including Dave & Busters Arcade)

Main Street overview

It also features one attraction: Pterosaura 3D, an IMAX theatre.

The Park as it stands

UPDATE:

Main Street is taking shape, with most of the paths and half the buildings completed.

Still taking suggestions for rides, attractions, theming, buildings, custom scenery I should use or literally anything you think should be included in this park, seriously, the two suggestions I have received so far have become two massive parts of the park so please do contribute if you have any ideas.

I'm thinking about something like the Canopy Flyer at Universal Studios Singapore. Video:

[youtu_be]

So RCT3 isn't opening so while I get that sorted out I just wanted to give you an update so that you don't think I've abandoned this.

Attraction Announcements:

1. Tyrannosaurus Attack (Intamin Accelerator): This extreme ride will be the park's most thrilling coaster, with a total of 6 Inversions over a twisted mess of terrifying track flying through tunnels, over rivers and past the clutches of an angry T-Rex.

2. Indominus-Rex (B&M Wing Coaster): Located at the back of the park behind the Jurassic Park River Adventure, Indominus-Rex takes guests on a terrifying ride through the dark jungle of the restricted zone.

3. Ocean Fliers (Vekoma Splash Party Suspended Coaster): This coaster is based on the popular ride from Universal Studios Singapore, just longer and over the water park! Guest use built in water pistols to spray guests on the ground while flying over the water park and into the mosasaur's grotto

4. Ankylosaurus Fury (Zamperla Giant Revolution): Spinning Guests 360 degrees, 10 stories in the air, this giant swing will surely scare.

5. Komodo Kave (Exhibit): Visit some 21st Century Dinosaurs in this immersive learning exhibit about these ferocious beasts.

6. The Rivers of Time (Intamin Dark Boat ride): This dark ride takes you 65 million years into the past where guests discover herds of dinosaurs before escaping a meteor strike by returning to the present (this is a junior version of the Jurassic Park River Adventure, only featuring a small drop at the end, will be located in Gentle Giants Petting Zoo area)

I'm sorry I couldn't give you an actual update but at least theres some rides to look forward to once I get back to it.

I love your park so far! I really like the level of detail.

So RCT3 is back up and running thanks to a quick uninstall and reinstall

As mentioned in the last post, new attractions have been added or planned and 2 are now (in various states of completion) in the park.

Anklyosaurus Fury

Anklyosaurus Fury is a Zamperla Giant Revolution Ride in Stegosaurus Swamp.

Close Up

Another ride that has just broken ground is 'The Rivers of Time' a junior version of the Jurassic Park River Adventure and is located in the Gentle Giants Petting Zoo area.

The Rivers of Time

Also looking improved is Main Street, with the Samsung Innovation Centre having minor construction underway and a side street added to connect to the Jurassic World Monorail.

UPDATE:

Ocean Flyers in the top left, Mosasaur Cove Wave Pool to the right and The Rivers of Time below that

So RCT3 isn't opening so while I get that sorted out I just wanted to give you an update so that you don't think I've abandoned this.

I'm experiencing the same problem! how did you solve it?

I'm afraid that if I delete RCT3 and re-download it that I lose all my files and downloads!

I backed up all my CS and the data files for the park and then uninstalled and reinstalled it (I use it on a Mac if that makes a difference)

Heres a photo of Indominus Rex (in its incomplete stage before i added scenery and fixed the supports) so this thread doesn't go off topic:

Indominus Rex Layout without Scenery

That's an interesting layout for a wingrider, especially with the steep lifthill. Looks pretty intense!

Maverick4795:

Thank you so much gonna give it a try, but how do you back up your park files? Cause if i go to libary on my mac and to application something, RCT3 doesn't show.

Your park looks great so far! Love the mainstreet section ( how did you get the water that tone of blue) and the flying coaster's layout and ending!

Well in my case it was Library -> Containers ->com.aspyr.rct3.appstore-> Data->Library->Application Support->Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum-> Parks

Although in the end it didn't delete any of my files (with the exception of my CS which I just copied over to the style->themed folder.

As for the water, I have no idea.

So I thought I'd show some comparisons between my park and the park featured in the Jurassic World film

Main Street Concept Art

So my eventual plan is to have main street look like this with the T-Rex paddock on the left becoming a Walking with Dinosaurs type show
