I love this so much it is really great how many cues you've taken from the actual show, as well as the ride. I wish this was replacing Tower of Terror instead of Guardians of the Galaxy. -
Hey Everyone!! I have been working on the park for El Dorado's Curse, however not that much on the ride itself. I have been improving little parts of the ride, and letting some foliage grow in. I have been working on a new part of the park, which is the parking lot and tram to the park, because I felt like this would have been a good way to use the extra space in the back of the park. The parking lot, for the most part, is finished. I have a large parking garage, as well as two large handicap parking lots, and two medium sized parking lots for overflow. The trams are between both of the handicap parking lots, so the handicapped guests don't have to travel far to get to the tram. The parking lot is not themed to the park, but just a modern/english parking lot with lots of foliage. The trams come from a defunct company that was called 'Disney Transportation Services' which have been transporting guests in other parks and resorts for more than 30 years. Those boxes ended up having firework mortars in them! Looks like this park will be getting a fireworks show. The tram stop. You take a tram from the parking lot to the actual park, then a different one from the park to the parking lot. The view of the parking garage from one of the extra two parking lots. An overview of the parking lots and tram route. The tram route is not finished, there is still a lot of foliage to be grown in. I also need to add a lot of fences in the parking lot. I also added a few extra lights and a small control booth inside the theater.

Hey Everyone!! I have been working on the attraction, as well as some other parts of the park, and also some other projects in Rct3. I have finally come up with a name for the attraction, and even though its not the best name for the attraction, it tells the story of the attraction, just in the title. El Dorado's Curse, is an attraction that revolves around you, and 15 other guests venturing into an abandoned temple, only to find out that the mighty god of the temple, El Dorado, put a curse on the temple for all who enter it. The only way to break the curse, is to jump from the top of the highest mountain in all the land. You must explore the temples and try and escape the curse, while overcoming unexpected troubles and problems. The rock work on the mountain is about halfway complete, and i'm so far happy with it. I have also worked on the theater some more, and I have finished the entire seating area, and started on constructing the walls, and interior details. I have also worked on the path layout around the entrance area of the park. I have actually changed where you will 'enter the park' and I have also been working on other projects such as a firework show and a water show (not for this park) El Dorado's Curse is still not open to the public, but it did have a preview day for all the staff of the park, and got great reviews. The staff really loved the attraction, and its story. The queue for El Dorado's Curse on the preview day. So many excited people and park officials. The first boat in the second scene of the ride. They have no idea what their about to experience. You can hear the screams of the both excited, and scared people! As the guests enter the first temple, this is where you will be casted with a curse, as you are sent whirling backwards out of the temple. The mountain is not complete, but this is just to give you some reference on how tall it will be. After the preview day the path layout in front of the mountain was extended, to hold more crowds. Also after the preview day, some concrete platforms, with some wooden boxes were appearing on the mountain..... Another one...... And we have one large one behind the mountain....... anyone know what it could be???? PREVIEW!

Hey Everyone!! I have been working a little bit on the theater that will house the show near the exit of the attraction, and I am so far, very happy with it. I do need to go back and change the textures of the stage, but I am happy with it so far. I have all the seats for the theater complete, and I have started on the stage, and the entrance area out side of the theater. In total, the theater has 5,232 seats, and some of the seats are fastpass based. Some of the lights in the theater have been placed, and are complete, and the base of the stage is complete. In total, the entire theater is estimated to cost around $5,000,000 and will have room for expansion if the public demand for it is high enough. The stage itself is constructed so that the show can change from one show to another in a fairly quick manner, without having to completely demolish the theater and rebuild it. Meaning, one day you can have a show thats themed to a western bank robbery, and then in just a few weeks time, you can have a musical. The show will not be a musical, at least, not when it opens. The view of all the 5,232 seats from behind the stage. (stage is not yet complete) Overview of the theater. (Stage and flooring not yet complete) I did do a small amount of work on the ride with some lighting and letting some foliage grow in. The view from the middle balcony of the stage. The flooring is complete, however I do need to change the stage flooring, and main staircase.

Hey everyone! Ive been working on the attraction, however it is taking a bit longer than expected. I have finished 5ish sections of the ride. That might sound like a lot but it is only about 45 seconds of the entire ride sooooooo yeah. Anyways, i'm very happy with the outcome of the first 5 scenes of the attraction and I am still working on the ride. I have still not started work on the exit area which will contain a broadway style show as well as a few markets selling goods. The first temple scene is complete, and it took a very long time to complete but it's finally finished. Although its not the most elaborate temple, i'm happy with it. I still have to construct the backstage area and let a few trees grow in but other than that, the first temple scene is complete. The mech bay for the boats after the exit station. Right after the first lifthill, you do a 180 degree and then a 90 degree left turn where you wait for the available block ahead, inside the temple. The view of the first small temple scene, which is mostly a courtyard of the temple itself. A nighttime shot of the temple courtyard with its lights on. A view from the emergency stairs within the temple. The view from the queue bridge of the temple.

Hey Everyone!! I have been working on the attraction and I have decided that the small city square outside the exit to the ride will have a broadway still show (or at least theater) and the show will correspond to the themed area. The City Square will also contain markets which will sell authentic Arabian and Mexican food and drinks. I have finished the station and the first two scenes, and I have also finished the splashdown finale. I am also very happy with the first two scenes because the foliage has finally grown in. I still have one or two facades I have to construct around the final part of the queue. The attraction still has no name, but it will be holding a very early preview day for the construction workers and park workers. An onride shot of the second scene, which is a small jungle river near the station. The view of scene two from the bridge you pass over while waiting in the queue. A view of the splashdown finale with all the foliage grown in. The path is not complete.

Hey Everyone!! I have been working on the ride recently and I have finished the station and first scene of the ride. I like the station, although its not my favorite. I also extended the splashdown area, however it is incomplete so you won't see any pictures of that part of the ride in this update. I still have a lot of foliage to grow and a lot of facades around the area to construct, but I am working on it. Some things I want to complete in the next update is the first 2 scenes and the splashdown area. I also hope to start on the small city square right outside of the station where you exit. The station is complete and I hope to construct a little city square where you exit the station. The station from the single rider/fastpass queue at night. The station is lit up by torches and dark lights to give it an ominous glow. One of the boats coming out of the darkness after you board the ride. After the tunnel, you enter a small river, which is the first scene of the ride. There is still a lot of foliage to be grown in and some minor details. The view of the exit station from the control booth. It has a very 'adventurey' glow to it.

Hey everyone! I have worked a little on the attraction and I am almost done with the station. This station was incredibly challenging for me to design for some reason, and I don't know why it was so difficult. All I have to do now is the roof and some minor exterior details. I hope to work on the splashdown area after I complete the station, then move onto the first scene of the actual ride. In the picture below, you can see the stand by queue, and boarding area, as well as the fastpass/single rider boarding area. NOTE: this picture is before I completed the detailing for the interior of the station. The top right is the stand by queue and boarding area, while the middle of the picture is the fastpass/single rider boarding area.

Hey everyone!! I am currently creating a 'Chiapas Inspired Water Coaster Type Attraction' The attraction is using the 'Atlantica Super Splash' CTR and contains 4 drops. The largest drop is 90ft and has a huge splashdown finale. I drew inspiration from the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland, Chiapas from Phantasialand, and I also grabbed inspiration from Mexico and Spain for the architecture around the area of the attraction. The ride design is currently completed and I am very happy with it. The attraction has a large backwards section with two of the drops in that section. The station is currently being built and the area around the queue is complete. The attraction has a stand by queue, and a fastpass/single rider queue for busier days. The attraction also has a small little Mexican restaurant if you get hungry during your visit. The restaurant is right next to the splashdown finale and offers great views of the mountain. One of the attraction boats going down the final drop. On the left is the little Mexican Restaurant, which also doesn't have a name. One of the boats splashing down after the 90ft drop. The splash comes very close to the deck of the restaurant. A view of the the airtime hill right before the splashdown finale.

Official RCT3 Help Thread
coasterkidJacob replied to mcjaco's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Hello all! I recently got a new iMac and I am very happy with it, however when i installed Rct3 from Steam, i noticed that the 'Bloom' option wasn't available. I even looked in the options.txt file and i couldn't find it. Then after that, i loaded up a park I was working on and it had the water ride that you see below, and for some reason the water and objects near the water are completely white. As I said I can't find the Bloom option in the game, so can anyone help me solve this problem? This only occurs when it is night time in the game. Could someone please help me with this? -
Hey everyone! Sorry its been a while, I have been very busy lately, however I have been working on River Park Paradise, and i'm happy to say that the park is now open for business! Since the last update, I have began work on a new log flume which is very heavily inspired by Splash Mountain at Disneyland. I also added some small extras to the park like more trees, shops, and scenery. On the log flume, I have not figured out a name for it, so if anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. For the next update, i'm looking to complete work on the log flume, and maybe start on another attraction. I created this little pavilion near the Train Station and Teacups. A train full of happy and excited people getting ready to experience Python. People screaming on Atmosphere. Preview of the log flume.

Hey guys! I was working on River Park Paradise and i'm happy to say that the park is almost ready to open!! I have added a few flat rides and shops, but nothing huge. I have so far completed the other half of the Main Street Plaza and then I also built a S&S Double Shot ride. Im debating on either building a Giga coaster or a log flume next, and I also want to build a Roman area in the park. Next to river, is a new, classic attraction called Riverside Slide. On the Teacups, I created a little pavilion over the ride, and I am very happy with it. This is the new S&S Double Shot ride, called 'Atmosphere' It is 170ft high, and goes 55mph. Construction has started on the other half of the Main Street. The 'completed' area of Atmosphere. The Completed Main Street! The park as of today. It is almost ready to open.

Hey everyone! Yesterday, I had both of my AP exams, and I think I did okay on both. My two exams were AP Chemistry, and AP European History, and like I said I think I did okay, I just hope I pass! Anyway, I have been working on River Park Paradise, and im happy to say that at the point that of when im posting this, the park is almost complete, and is almost ready to open in the future. I will not use all the land that the park is contained in, because I want to save it for future expansions to the park. Next to Burton Manor, is a new roller coaster which has since this picture, been completed. You can also see the railroad, and how it goes through the new coaster. The layout for the coaster is now complete. It interacts with the terrain well in my opinion. Overview of the entire layout. The coaster interacts with other attractions such as Mountain Explorer, and the railroad. The coaster has been named 'Midnight Flight' and has also received a new color scheme. Just like Shanghai Disneyland, the park had a testing day and allowed very few guests come in and experience the park. The ariel view of the new ride along with its plaza. I still have no idea what to call the plaza. Any ideas? I did some work around Twister. (Very original name I know) I completed the second station for the railroad to match the haunted themed plaza. I honestly don't really know how I feel about it.

Hello all! I recently got a new computer and i'm very happy with it. It is the 21.5in imac, and it runs great. I installed Parkitect and Rct3, and Rct3 worked good, but when I opened up Parkitect, at first it ran fine, but after about two hours of playing, it froze, and crashed. Anyway, Iv'e started a new park in Parkitect, which I call, 'River Park Paradise' It is a vanilla park, because I can't seem to get the mods to work on Parkitect. I installed the Parkitect Nexus Client, but it didn't work for some reason. I apologize in advance if my updates are not consistent, because both my AP tests are coming up on Friday, and I'm not really that prepared But that said I will try and update when I can. The main entrance to River Park Paradise. To the right of the entrance is the American Swinger, and to the left is the Burton Manor, inspired by Tim Burton. Another view of the entrance. Only half of the Main Entrance is completed. Just past the entrance, is the Picnic area on the right, and the Merry-Go-Round in the center. On the right, is the uncompleted train of the park. Near the back of the park is Python, a custom Arrow looper. Also next to Python, is Crazy Cups, a tea cup ride. Perfect for the little ones. The second coaster in River Park Paradise is Mountain Explorer. A BTMRR inspired ride that takes passengers in and out of the mountain. The actual ride is completed, but the theming around the ride is far from finished. The entrance to Mountain Explorer is this small rock tunnel, and is my personal favorite part of the park so far. A closer view of Burton Manor. Again, much of the theming around the ride is uncompleted. The main entrance plaza with American Swinger in the back. Such a lovely view. Behind the buildings of the main entrance, is one of the staff areas. Guests on American Swinger can not see the area due to the thick tree line. The second staff area is behind Python. Guests on Python will most likely see the staff area.

After a few months, I was able to talk to Mr. Davis again and he was kind enough to take some pictures of the construction progress, and he even let me keep them! Mr. Davis told me that the hotel had been finished early due to the extra 500 construction crew members. When I asked what was next, he kinda laughed and said, "Uh, well I don't really know yet......" I went to talk to Mr. Hall and he said that I should talk to one of the lead artists for the resort. So a few days later I went to talk to the lead artist, Mrs. Hawk. Mrs. Hawk showed me a few concept art images and I was really impressed. When she asked if I liked them I said "Yes I do, I really love them. These ideas would be great in a park like this." At this time, I had to go back home, and Mrs. Hawk told me that Mr. Davis would call you out in a few weeks to check up on the park. Anyways, here are the photos of the construction progress that Mr. Davis let me have. The hotel is almost complete. In total, the hotel took just over three months to complete. With 1,000 construction crew members working on the hotel 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, the hotel was built very fast. A helicopter view of the hotel and plaza, still under construction. The construction crew said that the most complex part of the hotel was the monorail station on the top floor. But after that was complete, construction moved much faster. The view of the monorail station looking out onto the plaza. As the ceiling and roof were completed, so was the interior lighting. There are 5 chandeliers in the hotel, as well as a lot of popcorn lights around the building. The exterior of the hotel at day time. When I saw this, I immediately thought of the Disneyland Paris Hotel. And finally, as I promised, the outside of Crystal Arts Coffee House. I still have no idea what to call the hotel, if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Over the past month or so, the construction crew for Summer Point Resort has been working very hard and efficiently in trying to complete this resort. About a week ago, the construction crew finished the main street plaza and it looks great. The owner also likes it a lot. Also in that week, the manager of the park, Bryan Hall, wanted things to move faster, and with the approval of the park owner, Mr. Davis, hired more construction crews, and ordered them to start on the hotel. The hotel will have an additional two street trolley stops, along with a monorail station. In the center of the plaza is the Grand Carousel, which will serve also server as the hub for the park. The hotel will offer magnificent views for the nightly fireworks show when the resort opens to the public. Guests will see this brown fence when they first walk through the gates of the park. Behind the fence is the maintenance area for the street trolleys, which for some reason, won't operate over paths. The view from the entrance of the hotel at night, looking towards the plaza. (Don't know what to name the hotel)

Hello! I am currently creating a new resort theme park in Rct3. The theme park will have many flat rides and coasters, along with many themed lands. The construction crew has been hard at work in creating this park, and they have already completed half of the main street plaza. The highlight of this resort, will be the hotel itself. Located in the center of the park, it will house nearly 600 rooms, and be themed to the old Americana that is the main street. The construction crew started work on this park about a month ago, and with a goal in mind, they are working day and night to finish the resort as soon as possible. The owner of the park has not released a date for when the resort will be open, looking at the current state, it should be a while. From the start of March, to today, March 21, the construction crew has already built this much. The owner of the resort took some pictures of the main street. This one and the next from a balcony in which guests will not be able to access. This one and the next from a balcony in which guests will not be able to access. Every building is covered in lights, to increase the amount of time spent in the park at night. The inside of one of the buildings. This one is a quick service food and beverage restaurant, called Broadway Burger. In Broadway Burger, the monorail passes through the restaurant. On the left is a street trolley stop, one of three. On the right is a storage building and kitchen for the adjacent Broadway Burger. This may look like the interior to Broadway Burger, but it is the Crystal Art Coffee House. The monorail traveling across the main bridge. An overview of the main street at night. So many lights on Broadway Burger.

I opened up Rct3 and I went to Load Games and the park file wasn't there. I did what you told me, but for some reason, it didn't work. I have started a new park based on Jules Verne and space exploration. The park will be themed to Steampunk (very hard style to do with limited cs) and future predictions from people in the late 1800's. I got my inspiration from HS Designs 'Revolution City' I don't know when I will start posting my work on the park, but the park is still in progess.

In June of 1968, construction started on a new ride, and one that would stand the test of time. During the time it was being built by Arrow, another log flume on the west coast also being built by Arrow, was going to make headlines. The Timber Mountain Log Ride at Knotts Berry Farm was to be the first Arrow log flume ride to open, but the one at Majestic Gardens was the first log flume to start construction in 1968. When Lily and Ryan found out that they were getting the first Arrow log flume, they were so happy, but shortly after, they found out that the West Coast was also getting one. Ryan took a trip down to Knotts Berry Farm just about two weeks before the opening of The Timber Mountain Log Ride to check it out. He took many pictures of the attraction and gave them to Lily to see what their competition was. Lily insisted Ryan that their log flume will be better than the west coasts. Also in June of 1968, the ground behind the central gardens was marked. Lily has asked me not to share anymore details about it, other than it is still here at Majestic Gardens in 2016. Some land has been marked......wonder what could happen. (June 1968) Construction on the log flume. (Any suggestions on names?) Lily and Ryan were out of the country for most of the construction of the log flume. When they got back after 7 months (Now January of 1969) the ride was completed. A night view of the last drop. Some construction of the land (July 1968)

By May of 1968, the construction for the hyper coaster was completed, and Lily had named it "Flux Capacitor" The ride is 148' tall, and has a top speed of 73 mph. Both Lily and Ryan don't know what to else to put in the future world. For now, Land of Invention (the future world) has been closed off. Also in May, Red Baron's atmosphere has been completed. It blends nicely with the adjacent Timber Wolf. When at night, Timber Wolf is lit up in red which gives the ride a much more menacing look, hence the name Timber Wolf. Lily and Ryan thought it would be a good idea to add a single rider queue to have the waiting time as short as possible. They added the single rider queue for both Red Baron and Flux Capacitor. Red Baron in the daytime. Red Baron at night. I personally love the look it has. The forest where Timber Wolf is located is now lit up at night. The pathway leading up to Red Baron at night.
