Riptide Reef (RCT III)


Recommended Posts

I've been working on this Pacific Ocean themed park for several months now, andf since I've picked up the pace on the project I thought I'd show some screenshots...

Back into daylight, the coaster flips through a vertical loop, glides through a helix and threads through the loop in the brake run.

 

That's all for now, more screenshots of other RR attractions coming soon!

After this flat spin, riders take on some pitch black airtime under the station building.

After a Zero-G roll and a glide through the block zone, Riptide dives into the triple-chop and narrowly misses the monorail beam, rocks and giant jagged shells!

...followed by its signature Pacific Knot that features a mist-filled cove.

Riptide's 65 mph tire-drive launch surges riders over a massive airtime hill and a cobra roll...

Riptide's station, structure's done but some theming will be added.

Guests enter the park via an underwater tunnel and come face to face with Riptide's wraith.

Deadwood Inn is a multivel dark ride themed after an abandoned beachside motel. The monorail runs right through the building!

O.M.G! I LOVE it!

 

The park has such a great atmosphere, and that is absolutely the best coaster I've ever seen in RCT3!

 

I will definitely be following this one...

This park is incredible!! Breathtaking actually!

 

The colors, the themeing, and the awesome coaster!

 

 

That coaster is just what makes the park incredible!

 

It kinda reminds me of nemesis, how it dives below the ground and under paths. It swoops over the entrance..

 

Im inspired now

I can't believe it's been 3 months since I've updated this thread...

 

I have been busy with new opportunities at work and moving to the OC, but I have been consistently updating my RCT3 project. I have since added a new multi-level dark ride, a new B&M coaster (which is just as impressive as Riptide IMO) and several flat rides have been added to the midway.

 

I'm sorry it's been so long but screens are on the way!

As promised, here are some screenshots of progress on Riptide Reef. Trackwork on Neptune is done but landscaping, theming and supports are not so it's about 90% complete...

Park progress as of September 2008. In the near future expect to see a wooden coaster, yet another B&M and some water rides. Thanks for checking out the shots!

Neptune's finale

The "tidal twist" area has just begun landscaping, this area will have lots of theming when completed.

Neptune's turnaround gets up close and personal with Riptide

Riptide Reef has received a second B&M coaster, Neptune. The station is not even close to being done and I'm just playing with some concepts here. Note how the monorail passes through the dark ride...

"Mermaid Falls" has been put up by Riptide's finale. This area has some food and souvenir stands.

The new Mutiny Cove dark ride, I won't spoil the interior, you can see for yourself when the park becomes available to download. ;)
