HCOSurfer90 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Ok guys, I've never really used theming in my RCT3 parks up until now. I didn't use custom scenery, all the scenery I used came with all 3 expansions. Here it goes: Hazelton Park is located about 2 hours away from Hershey Park in Pennsylvania. It started as a small family-owned park back in 1975 but was sold in 2005. The new owners wanted to make this park a tourist destination so they added rides. As they added rides, more and more guests began to come to the park. The park was rated one of the most beautiful parks by many magazines and news papers. Since the change of ownership in 2005, Hazelton Park has only added around 4 rides but plans to add plenty more. The ride line up: Carousel - This was the only ride that remained after the change of ownership in 2005. It has been twirling guests around since the parks opening in 1975. Werewolf - Added in 2005, this huge out-and-back wooden coaster takes you down drops of over 161 feet. It's full of what coaster enthusiasts call "airtime." Sky Swinger - Sky Swinger swings you around and around offering you some nice views of the park, including Werewolf. Timber Terror - Added this season, this ride takes you through twists and turns and underground tunnels, including one right into the "Timber Mine." Great for families! Log Jammer - Also added this season. This ride flips you round and round over an over again. Forwards, backwards, you name it! Not for the queasy. Feel free to to tell me what I should add/change to this park before I make my next update.

texashorns82492 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Ehh, it's ok. Put some more effort into it. Try finding some CS packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen_Dk Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Looks good I think Timer Terror looked quite funny. Btw. I think it's spelled Weerwolf and not Werewolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCOSurfer90 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Oops, I'll fix that. And I tried to download some custom scenery packs, but whenever I do the download doesn't work, all that comes up is a note pad. The same thing happens when I try to download parks as well.

Steffen_Dk Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Try to save them direct into the themed folder, and then "extract here". That's always working for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfan1986 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Actually, it IS Werewolf...you have it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 it is looking pretty good, my only suggestion is to change the ground texture to dirt instead of grass around timber terror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen_Dk Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Actually, it IS Werewolf...you have it right Ohh yeah - I just thought he wanted it to be in Dutch. I didn't think of it in English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmereStars Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Actually, it IS Werewolf...you have it right Ohh yeah - I just thought he wanted it to be in Dutch. I didn't think of it in English Dutch is better (A) I think it looks pretty good for a first try, and it's without CS so that's another positive point (with CS the bar would be higher) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCOSurfer90 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 2008 For 2008, Hazelton Park announced Riptide River, a one-of-a-kind log flume ride. The ride is 1/2 log flume, 1/2 dark ride. It takes you over 3 large drops of 35 feet, 63 feet, and largest drop, 85 feet. The ride opened in the middle of May 2008 and offered lots of guests great rides over and over again. The park also added a sky tower called Cloud Kisser and offers guests a great view of the park.

HCOSurfer90 Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Sorry about the double post. Rumor According to various guests around the park, "box-like" coaster track has been spotted around Log Jammer. The track seems to be a dark red with light brown rails according to guests. Once guest took this photo below. What could it be? Shot0038.bmp ?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCOSurfer90 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Update For 2008, Hazelton Park announced Twilight Rider, an Intamin Accelerator Coaster. The ride is themed to the legend of a horse and cowboy who race around western towns and deserts at night protecting those around him. The ride launches you at a 74 MPH up 175 feet and sends you back straight down into an Immelmann and then Intamin's first (and the worlds largest) Inclined Loop. The ride then takes you through twists, turns, and drops throughout the rest of the ride. Before the ride opened, Hazelton held a contest in which 5 winners would get to be the first people to ride Twilight Rider. Last thing, rumors have been flying around that Hazelton Park will be adding a new themed section next to the lake by Twilight rider next year. Some say it will be "ocean" themed, while others say it will be a "haunted" theme. Only time will tell.

Reon Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Very nice looking Accellorator! You should expand the station building to cover the brake run, so there can be a fly-by. Great job overall, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCOSurfer90 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Update Hazelton unveils their newly themed area: The Beach The Beach is a beach themed area (obviously) right next to the parks latest coaster, Twilight Rider. It includes these 3 all new attractions and new eat-in area: Swashbuckler- An Intamin drop ride that takes you up over 170 feet and then drops you straight down. Not for the faint of heart. Whirlpool- This ride takes you up and down and spins you all around. Hope you don't get sea sick. Treasure Caverns- A one-of-a-kind dark ride experience where you get to shoot the pirates before they steal "Treasure Caverns" legendary treasure. The Shore Shack- A new eat-in area where you can get beach-themed products, drinks, and sandwiches. Comments and criticism welcome!
