Stoksy's RCT2 Coaster Contest

[themeparkman25]

No promises that this will be done by the due date, even though it is a long way away, but I still thought I would give it a go.

 

This is the entrance area of the park. You can probably see the characteristics I have taken from many other parks posted on here.

 

 

As a general question, how do you make big pictures to post on here? I screenshot and then post, but the images are too big (in kb) so I have to shrink them way down. why?

Damn, for a new player thats really impresive, keep up the good work.

[themeparkman25]

So I am in the scenario editor making the park, and when I go from the own the land section to the invention selection section it freaks out. It makes half the land I own go back to being unowned (but in the map, it still says it is owned. What is going on, and should I just use 8cars to own all the land?

[ericmichaellucas]

^ Using the 8Cars "Own All" function should be fine. I think you can use it in the scenario editor too.

 

Anyways, time for a small update. A small hiatus followed by a brief period of creative block slowed down progress on Woodlands Park (name subject to change). However, I have managed to gain some more motivation after seeing some of the updates posted and knowing the skill of some of the people only just entering the contest.

 

On to some pictures...

An overview shot of the entire park so far

SCR4.BMP

An overview shot of "Canada Creek". Guests are floated into a cavern which ends at a 64ft drop and a very wet ending.

SCR3.BMP

"Cabin Fever" is a stunt show at the back of the park based at the Woodlands Arena

SCR2.BMP

The second coaster, Woodland Express is an Intamin rollerskater designed for the whole family to enjoy

SCR1.BMP

The feature coaster, Dryad (an Intamin Hyper) in the foreground with Rumble in the Jungle (a Huss TopSpin) in the background. The landscaping for RitJ was slightly motivated by Rameses Revenge at Chessington

[Stoksy]

Really good start Eric, with some awesome hacks!

 

Same with you Jordan, when posting pictures, just crop them a little, so they are within the size limit.

[davethefish]

Wow, this makes me want to play RCT again! Looks like I have a challenge on my hands!

 

I'll see what I can pull out...

[the ghost]

Sorry Stoksy, but I'm back. The park is still no CS and is the build your own six flags park scenario. For now it is very good and I am pretty happy with it, as there is a coaster inspired by the bullet shuttle loop coaster in Robb's latest coastertube video.

[Vintage]

^^^^ Sorry, but the caption "with a very wet ending," just made me laugh.

But what can I say I'm 15.

[themeparkman25]

Alright, someone seriously needs to help me make these pictures bigger. Everyone else seems to be able to take big screen shots, but me. I have to shrink mine way down and it is killing me. Help!

 

So far, all I have done is the front courtyard. I am VERY pleased with how this is turning out. I have failed the park objective though, so she will never see guests. Oh well! The park is Spanish themed, can you tell? I am now where even near done, and have some great ideas planned. I don't really have a name though yet, want to shoot me some ideas?

 

How is everyone else doing?

SCR14.BMP

In the churches courtyard you will find the Ferris Wheel, named Grande Rueda.

SCR162.bmp

An Intamin impulse named El Serpiente. This is my first coaster with custom supports, how did I do?

SCR15.BMP

The main plaze. Beneath the far arches would be food, info, souvenirs and stuff.

SCR17.BMP

The entrance plaza. In real life there would be ticket windows, guest services, etc out here.

[the ghost]

Thats awesome! amazing for a new player.

Hey Stoksy, I'll send you my first update tomorrow, its a big first update.

[ericmichaellucas]

Wow! That's amazing work so far. I can see I'm really going to have to really concentrate to beat your level of detail.

 

It's a shame that your park will not be open to guests. I always prefer to see realistic looking parks that are peep friendly. Nevertheless, your entrance so far and your Impulse look great.

 

My park is probably around 20%. I'm taking my time so as not to get bored but will hopefully be finished for the January 1st deadline.

[themeparkman25]

^You should post some pictures of what you have so far. It is like Ghost and Me doing it, and it would be fun to see what everyone else has. Unless of course everyone wants to keep their stuff a secret.

[Stoksy]

*Registers for season pass*

 

I agree with you Eric, that's why I am not a huge fan of using any of the NE workbenches.

 

You can use 8 cars and open the park if you have failed the objective, I often use this with "No. of guests without letting you park rating drop below 700."

 

 

Hopefully everyone can finish their parks on time, good luck!

[ericmichaellucas]

^^ You can find my last update on page 6.

 

I am documenting my progress as and when I feel it is suitable. I've not kept any aspect of my park a secret as this is my first contest entry and I doubt anything I create would be "groundbreaking" enough to warrant excersing the UK Official Secrets Act

 

As far as the Woodlands Park Season Pass goes, I added this as a little bit of fun in the hope of energising some new ideas.

 

Rest assured more pictures will be posted when I have anything new to mention.

 

Eric

[the ghost]

Sorry, my update will be tomorrow, the park is pretty detailed and has an interesting concept for a no cs park and it is very unique.(and unrealistic) I have an Egyptian themed B&M hyper with the most annoying custom support work in the world, but it is pretty much done, I just need to theme the actual ride now.

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

Is it too late to join?

[Stoksy]

No, just as long as you submit your park on time.

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

I can't find the ja227 giga looper thing. Can someone help me?

[Stoksy]

^Sure thing, I'll post a download.

JAGIGLT.DAT

I think it's this one, if not, please pm me and I'll post the other one.

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

Thanks! I'm also having a hard time finding 8cars. The website that had it for download was closed and I am unable to find it. Do you have that?

 

Thanks in advance if you have it.

 

Also, for rides that use 'cars' and not 'trains', am I allowed to have more than 3?

[dmaxsba2408]

Page 13 of the RCT2 help thread. All the 8cars you could ever want.

[Stoksy]

^^Yes. That rule only applies for coasters.

 

 

Remember to post updates if you have them.

[ericmichaellucas]

Hi guys. No update although progress is being made

[Xizor_Racer]

I had a computer crash and lost everything back to the factory settings.... the good news is that I have found all kinds of new downloads and goodies to play with....the bad news, I lost all that I had worked on!!

 

Update coming soon!

[ericmichaellucas]

Hi guys. I've been away from RCT for a while predominantly due to a creative block. However, I'm now back ready to see my entry through to completion before the contest deadline.

 

Not a lot of progress has been made, just some tweaks here and there to make the park a bit more peep friendly and a new coaster, Kali...

Kali.BMP

This ancient goddess, protector of the forests is angry to say the least. She'll launch you out of the station at speeds in excess of 60mph and hurl you into the skies above. At 160ft, that's a long way to fall!
