Ghost- The only thing I can think of is that it needs to be saved in the 'Scenarios' File on your computer... I'm in the middle of a DVD project right now- so it will be a bit of time till I can further check on this- But I'll give it a go once the DVD is done (About two hours or so from now) R.D.

Hmmm- One sec- let me check something... R.D.

I'm working on a few new RCT II challenges- perhaps for the next few in that category- and I'm thinking I'd like to ask a question of the MODs not only from the Games Forum- but also of the entire TPR crew... What rides (If you COULD have them) would you put into a 'Classic' park from the late 70s-early 80s? My idea is the next challenge will be built around this- and I'm looking for inspiration- of if you have something LIKE that- I'd like to see it to work on it a bit. R.D.

I can work on some of this over the next few days- since I'm rather immobile right now- at least as far as RCT II is concerned- It shouldn't be too difficult to find some of the missing pics- and if not, it allows me to get some inspiration for some future challenges... R.D.

Yes- in order to compete for the prize. The game must be saved at the start of year six (March) Keep playing it out- I'm curious to see what our members will come up with! If you play beyond the five year mark, show us what you're doing with it. R.D.

Related to that... He's got a knock-off of the original Anton Schwarzkopf Weight-Drop launch system. (I've got a copy of the original Schwarzkopf weight-drop propulsion system in storage... it's my pride, joy and gem.) R.D.

For all who are participating: GREAT!!!! As you finish your entries, remember to post them here- and use the NIFTY, NEAT-O, AMAZING, ALL POWERFUL and ALL KNOWING 'Games Exchange' tab below to put your park into the database. Add some pics, too- and show us what you've come up with so far. Remember to use the "TPR Challenge" under file types, too- Good luck- and enjoy visiting the Crappiest Place on Earth! R.D.

^^ Agreed... But then again, Aren't we all?

Ahem... Never underestimate the amount of Bullshit and stupidity a teenager can put out. It's astounding... I'm curious though if he actually HAS filled out TM/Copyright/Patent info... If he has- More power to him. R.D.

The Five years should be enough... Remember, you're playing this for FUN, not necessarily for the biggest, or the most elemental park you can make- Part of this challenge is balancing BEAUTY (I.e. scenery, etc.) and BRAUN (I.e. getting the park objectives done, replaying the debt, etc.)- AND... If you don't complete the scenario, remember that ALL entries will be considered for an honorable mention. If you REALLY impress us with your entry, you might still be considered for final voting!

Yes- If they're yours. Send a PM to one of your Games Forum Mods- and we can upload pics as necessary. R.D. One of your Games Forum MODs.

Six downloads so far... I'm so hoping this picks up really fast, though- R.D.

Done- R.D.

Something has popped up- and I think it might need to be addressed- Coupon and a few others (Swisscheese, NYYankeesfan95) have setup/are using a new RCT database/exchange- but are using the TPR chat for discussion of it's workings, etc. While I don't think it will be too much of an issue (How many of these things have come and gone in the past few years) I didn't quite think it was appropriate to discuss it in TPR Chat- simply as it's not pertaining to TPR. Am I out of line by mentioning it? R.D. Edit: The site aformentioned: http://ravecoasters.sylenttechnologies.com/

As for the "TPR Challenge" Here goes- use what you want, etc. TPR Challenge I: RCT II- Grand Gardens: To introduce the Games Exchance, we've come up with our first OFFICIAL TPR Challenge. Welcome to Grand Gardens, the CRAPPIEST place on earth. Grand Gardens started off as a park by a somewhat reclusive, yet grand minded gentleman, who, sadly, had delusions of building a park along the lines of Six Flags or Cedar Point. He found rides at auction for a deep, deep discount- and for a good reason: Who would WANT them? He picked up a TOGO standup coaster, a Vekoma SLC, and a Sansei Shuttle Loop. Spending money wildly, he built a wooden coaster, as well as some smaller flat rides. Running out of money, Grand Gardens is in desperate shape- It can't take on anymore debt, all the staff were fired, and the park is in bad shape. It's your turn to fix things up. The challenge? Play the Grand Gardens TPR Challenge scenario, and see what you can do with it. You have five years to work with. Your goal is to repay the debt, and to have an attendance of 2500 people. And here's the thing: All you need is RCT II. No add ons. No special scenery. No special theming. Just RCT II. The judging criteria are this: Even if you DON'T beat the scenario, you will be considered for an honorable mention- or even in the final voting for the winner. We want to see your best RCT II efforts- that is, what would YOU do if you had this park. Everybody who completes the challenge (That is, beats the scenario) will be entered into final voting. Everybody who PLAYS the challenge, and turns in a park will get a 50 pt. bonus in their exchange accounts! That's right- you get something just for playing the level. ONE lucky winner, as voted on by our members will get a TPR BAG OF CRAP!!!!! You read that right- A REAL, AUTHENTIC, GENUiNE, ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES TPR BAG OF CRAP! The contest begins today, Monday 3/14/11, and runs through Monday, 3/28/11. On Wed, 3/30/11, the voting will begin for the winner, and will last one week. Good luck, and enjoy the scenario! end of TPR Challenge letter- Matt was re-writing the rules I posted earlier in the week- those I'd presume are to be added to the bottom of this. Did I forget anything for this side of the challenge? R.D.

Welcome to TPR- I have to say that this storyline and park are amongst the finest things I've seen yet on TPR. You are an excellent storyteller- and I hope this series continues on- as I want to see what happens next- R.D. One of your Games Forum MODS

I'm headed up 13-15 April to get my Canyon Blaster Fix- and hopefully get to use my new 'toy' to get some last shots of Speed before it goes to the Soda Can manufacturer... Shame too- It's one of the better non-Schwarzkopf shuttle coasters out there- and as painful as it could be, it will be missed. R.D.

I'm happy with how the exchange works- and it looks great. The added function of the exchange tab on the forum works well- and it looks great. I think having the launch of the exchange plus the TPR RCT II challenge (Episode I) would be wonderful. I'm really looking forward to it- and It's going to be a lot of fun seeing what people come up with. R.D.

I think one pic is fine to begin with, and if the members want to add more, they can do so via the thread that (I can hope) they use along the way- R.D>

OK: Did the 'testing' of a few aspects per request. 1.) No, it only shows the first picture you upload to the exchange tab in the window of the forum topic: See this here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=58417 2.) It won't allow you to select the picture you've set as the thumbnail in the exchange tab. It will, however, put all the pictures uploaded to the exchange in- see this here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/game_exchange/track.php?id=1618 R.D.
