After quite a bit of work (and frustration owing to the fact that I was forced to change each individual tile one at a time ) I have fixed the waterway, the lamps, and added a few new things. There, new lamps were put in. And they look pretty good at night. The water was fixed as well. There. Look better? I hope so because every single tile had to be moved individually since, for some reason, when I tried to smooth out the land (or anything else for that matter) the water would not go back up all the way. Short of completely re-doing the Tribal Wild section I just did them one by one. While I'm there, here's the completed pool. Again. Bungalow Blast is testing. So is WT. Now with longer trains! And a new ride was put in! Bumper to Bumper is a standard dodgem which sits right at the end of Main Street. A rare shot of the inside. Look at all those cars waiting for Friday. And across the way is Tea Tyme. I'll give you one guess what it is... What a surprise! It's a Teacup Ride! Both side by side. But...what's this?? Interesting. I'll just leave you with this image as a teaser. As always comments, criticisms, and tips are appreciated. I still need a name for the park so just shout out your ideas.

Thanks all for your responses. To the blocky water problem, I started to use that for an idea that just didn't pan out too well. It never occurred to me to change it though when I gave up on my last idea. I'm actually happy you brought that up because otherwise I probably just would've left it as is and hurt the look of the park. Sounds great! Just a question though, where could I get such a themed gyro drop? NOTE: I still need a name for the park. All suggestions are welcome.

I went back to the park this week and saw that even more work has been done in anticipation of the June 27 opening day. I really think the park looks nice and can't wait until it opens to the public. More buildings have appeared on the main street. One is a restaurant and the other seems to be an Emporium of sorts. The Tribal Wild bridge has been modified for some unknown reason. And the pool complex is now complete with two functional slides. Here is the second slide. An Aquablaster named Bungalow Blast. It shoots riders from inside the bungalow, down to the swamp below before hitting an overbanked turn before dropping into the pool. This is the Disko ride that was recently installed. It is called Temple Wrath and has numerous fire effects to thrill riders. Along with that, the Adventura de Rio canoe ride has been added. A better look at Adventura de Rio's course, along with the pool and Temple Wrath. Construction walls have gone up around the new area. This section is no longer called Olde Tyme Square as thought before. Park management has informed us that this project probably will not be open until well into the park's second season and will not be announced for a few more months. And in the bad news today, Lumberjack Lunge broke down while testing and was stalled in this position for the entire day. I hope this is not a sign of what it's life will be like... There's my second update for the park. In addition to those photos, I've made Wild Timber's trains much longer DBru (even though I kept the topple tower), and am working on finishing the park for the opening ceremony which I hope to have pictures of on Friday. As always comments, criticisms, and tips are always appreciated.

^ Thanks. My problems with Vodhin's scenery is that whenever I try to download that pack (and a few others) it seems the files are not found or something like that. I'll try to see if I can get it and incorporate them into my park later today. My next update (coming in a few minutes) still uses those signs though, so sorry about that.

^Haha, yeah the trains were modified after that, I just took those when it gave me the default length but now they are a few cars longer. I know that the topple tower doesn't fit in, but I'm thinking of leaving it in for another season or two before I replace it. Maybe with....hmmm, I'll have to think about that. Thanks though. I'll try to get another update posted today if I can.

I've had RCT3 since it came out aaaaaaaaaaall those years ago , but before now, I never have made a park that I found good enough to be posted on here. Now, however, I've decided to build a park solely for showing online, and I would greatly appreciate everyone's comments, tips, and criticisms. I need tips on how to make it better. As this is my first real park for online, I'm quite new to this so don't expect miracles. Now, without further rambling from me...the park! Most of the land for the park. That mountain could be a problem or a unique building challenge. A shot down what is to be the main street in the park. Construction on Edelweiss Cafe has already begun. Let's head over to the Tribal Wild section of the park. The entrance to the pool complex is mostly complete. The pool is located under and around some bungalows which are raised above the swamp below. Another part of the pool complex. Log Drop. A simple mat slide in the pool. What's this? Construction has already begun on the first coaster. Can't wait! A few weeks later I returned to the park to see what has happened, and to my surprise most of the Great Outdoors section has been completed. The now named wooden coaster, Wild Timbers, is now complete, albeit without a sign. Wild Timbers through the trees. A better shot of Wild Timber's layout along with shots of Lumberjack Lunge (Huss Topple Tower), and the horse corral Another view of Lumberjack Lunge. The unnamed Monster Trucks ride and horse corral. It looks like Edelweiss Cafe is complete now. Nice! What is this? People? But the park's not supposed to open for a few months... Oh, it was a preview for invited peeps from the community. Nothing was open besides Edelweiss Cafe, but that didn't stop everyone from coming in. It looks like land is already being cleared for the Olde Tyme Square area of the park. Here's one last shot of what has already been completed. So what do you think? So far I think it's going well, if slowly. I hope to get updates up at least once a week, but depending on my schedule regular updates could be spotty at times.

Love this park! It's making me frantically search for my RCT2 disc. Where did you get some of those rides though? (the frog hopper, tumble bug, monster, round-up, etc.) I don't remember them being in any of the expansion packs

Great park, can't wait to see how it develops!

Hah, I'll do the same since I'm pretty new as well. 2007 Hersheypark Knoebels WDW Magic Kingdom WDW MGM (or now Disney Hollywood studios) WDW Epcot Dorney Park 2008 Busch Gardens Europe Knoebels x4 Hersheypark x3

Alright, so I can now say that Fahrenheit is well worth the wait and is definitely one of my favorite coasters I've been on. To clear up the whole train thing; from what I saw, only the one train was named and it indeed said "Stucky" so I'm guessing that was the one which valleyed in the cobra roll (I mean it only makes sense). And also the line moves fast. I was almost constantly moving and the only time I really stood still for more than five minutes was when they had a problem with someone in one of the trains. I only waited for a half hour and the line filled up half of the switchbacks and went all the way out around the station. But, because of that and the Boardwalk, everything else was walk on which was really nice.

This is a really tough decision. I say go for BGE, though I've grown up around Hershey so maybe I'm a bit biased against it. I like BGE better because it is themed pretty well, it's in a nice wooded area, there are great rides there (like Curse of DarKastle), and Griffon kicks some serious butt. Yeah, Hershey has all the usual coasters; Great Bear, Lightning Racers, Sormrunner, and of course Fahrenheit, but......gah, screw it. I've actually changed my opinion by writing this. Sure, I've been to Hershey a lot and BGE only twice, but I still like hershey better. I mean they have 11 coasters, and awesome flats, as well as chocolate everywhere you go. So, I say go to Hershey, BGE is amazing, but after the big 5, what is there to do??

^ I heard that it moves pretty fast from people that I know who have been on it. Appearently the ride ops can get the trains loaded and out of the station pretty quick which knocks the wait time down quite a bit.

I'm going to be different and say that The Phoenix at Knoebels gets my vote. I've grown up in the area so maybe I'm biased, but so many people say great things about the Phoenix and how it is such an amazing coaster and everything, but to me it just isn't. It really seems to be more or less a standard out and back woodie and I cannot see what is so special about it. So kill me if you must, but I really can't see why everyone likes the Phoenix so much.

Im finally going on Sunday and can't wait to finally get on this. Ive been waiting for weeks and I can finally get to (hopefully) say that I've ridden Fahrenheit in a few days

Twister at Knoebels (hey, it's 10 minutes away, what do you expect?) Sadly though, no Fahrenheit

Great photos Nat. I find your captions amusing and suprisingly funny for some reason. Maybe I've been riding the demonic horse mascot's ride too much but I did chuckle a bit looking through the photos Regardless I'm so excited to go to Hershey this summer. Besides being my first time there when the Boardwalk is acutally open (all the other times it was either snowing, which was awesome on Storm Runner, or about 45 degrees. Neither was very Boardwalk friendly weather), it will be when I can finally get on Fahrenheit! I'm still envious of you getting on it the opening weekend but hey, what can I do about it?

No problem, I thought that everyone else would like to see that too. And for more POV action, head over to Fahrenheit's webcam page where videos 5-7 are now up, along with a construction timeline going along the bottom. Granted, the POV isn't of the whole ride but it does have a much higher quality than those on Youtube.

I agree! Please someone put up a POV of this ride! I've been looking everywhere for one and so far nobody has been brave/stupid enough to bring their camera on the ride with them. But if you put one up, or see one, can you please post the link for the rest of us? EDIT: Scratch that, I finally found one on Youtube. it is for all those of us not lucky enough to experience it yet

Awesome report! I can't wait to see the pictures and finally get on Fahrenheit! I only live like an hour and a half away but alas, the fates seem to have conspired against me so that I went 5 days before Fahrenheit opened and making it so that I probably won't be able to go out for another month or so. Ah well, I'll be out there sometime, and I'll be sure to be riding front seat. Just make sure you don't break it again

I'm going to have to go with the old favorite and pick Splash Mountain for my best. I haven't really been on any bad log flumes, only boring ones, so the worst for me would have to be the one at BGE (I can't remember it's name) because it was pretty lame all the way through.

I'm glad that they got Fahrenheit back up and running later in the day. I can't wait to ride it and I'm sure it will be well worth the wait once I finally get there

Wow that's crappy. I was totally planning on coming out today for the opening but something came up which stopped me. I guess that I didn't miss much by not coming though I'm kind of sad it didn't open. Hopefully this little delay isn't a preview of what Fahrenheit's life is going to be like...

For some reason I absolutely love Griffon's first drop. Just hanging there really makes it better when suddenly you drop. And, to top it all of, you're pretty much weightless the whole way down. It's an awesome feeling. But for woodies I'm going to have to stick with my favorite Lightning Racers. For some reason they have always been my favorite for first drops out of all the woodies that I've been on.
