MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 [W]ould you consider stickying a basic RCT3 tutorial for park/attraction building? I've been temped lately to make one and see if it would have any impact on the quality of the threads. That would be awesome! I'd love to join you in that, seeing how I have gotten some really complex structures going (speaking of which, I haven't touched my Indiana Jones ride in nearly 6 weeks!) As for the park, it's gotten a little better, but still pretty "meh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakecallan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hey, here is my 2 cents I like it, there are parts that need bit of work but as far as NCS goes it looks good. This park sort of reminds me of those that appeared in the early RCT3 days when CS was not around and people just wanted to build a simple Six Flags style park. Nowadays I find people don't enjoy the more generic NCS park as you can make far greater generic park with custom scenery.I think you will find that when working with out custom scenery for people to enjoy it you have to be quite creative with the scenery pieces look at them in different ways, build something completely new. However as you are new to the game I'm guessing? starting with this style is fine and I'm sure one day soon if you stick at it you will be building great complex structures with out custom scenery. Good luck on your project, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on your project, Jake I have custom scenery but the folders are zipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 ^If you need an unzip program I recommend 7zip. It can open just about every compressed file type including .zip and .rar, which are what custom scenery folders come as. And in terms of an RCT3 basics tutorial...I really meant back to basics, but with information on how to expand them into beautiful creations. Which is basically saying it would, in the beginning be mainly an NCS tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) If you have ANY release of Windows that is XP or higher, simply double-clicking a .zip folder will unzip it. However, you shouldn't even be using custom content unless you know how to zip/unzip folders and where you should place the content, as it can cause errors in the game that you might not know how to reverse. The park is certainly looking better than your last one. Just take your time, relax, and have fun with it! Edited June 22, 2012 by A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldiehound Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I won't have custom scenery for this update, I'm still working on it. May 2nd 1979: The park is looking better than ever with three new attractions. Shot0792.bmp This is part of the log flume. I don't want to reveal all of it yet. Shot0793.bmp Wild Mouse. Shot0794.bmp It will take riders 50 feet up and take them through tight turns at 30 mph! Shot0795.bmp Scrambler is new. Shot0796.bmp Thunder Bobs is all alone. Shot0797.bmp I think this shot should be on a postcard. Shot0791.bmp Or this one. Edited June 26, 2012 by goldiehound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305KD Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 They are decent pictures, but your captions are boring. "Scrambler is new" or "Thunder Bobs is all alone" doesn't tell us anything important. Maybe tell us what company the Scrambler came from or something like that. Just make them less boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldiehound Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Give me ideas on the name for the Arrow Looper please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305KD Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I think something like Vortex or Cyclone would be cool. It would fit well with the twisted ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I really like the arrow looper, the log flume and the wild mouse! It seems you've turned it around for the better in a way! Though, the mountain looks random and out of place. Maybe a few hills around it? And I do have to agree with the captions... They are quite bland. Good luck!

RCBoilermaker14 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Maybe Steel Bronco after the Denver Broncos,or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldiehound Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I was trying to make Parachute Tower look like the one at my other park Six Flags Florida Escape that was locked. Sorry if the Enterprise picture seems out of place, it was supposed to be at the top but I couldn't get it up. May 28th 1979: The parks skyline changed again. Shot0801.bmp Say hello to Parachute Tower. Shot0802.bmp It will take riders 100 feet in the air. That's ten feet taller than Vortex (Arrow Looper.) Shot0803.bmp People noticed that big trucks with wood track in the back was heading in the parks direction. Shot0804.bmp This sure may change the skyline again. I'm worried the park won't open on time with all the new rides. Shot0818.bmp Enterprise I heard was only finished a few days ago. See you next time!

I305KD Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That's the name I chose! I would like to see the new woodie. If there is any! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldiehound Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 June 27th 1979: Welcome back! The park has been quiet with progress starting to slow down. Shot0819.bmp There are Antique cars now. The unknown company wanted a mixture of old and new rides. Shot0820.bmp The wood rumor was right. Shot0821.bmp The wood coaster is going to be 89 feet tall and go at 48 mph through the track. Shot0822.bmp I can't wait for the ride to be finished. See you next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molemaster43 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The car ride looks a tad short and a little compact. I think you should spread it out a little more and add a little theming to it. Notice how some car rides have a bridge or a roofed building that they go through. I'd say put something like that in. I can't wait to see the wooden coaster!

goldiehound Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Welcome back! Shot0846.bmp It's finished! Shot0847.bmp The wood coaster. Shot0848.bmp It takes riders 89 feet in the air and takes them down a drop and shoots them up airtime hills. Shot0849.bmp After the turnaround, there is a lot of airtime hills. Shot0850.bmp And the American Carousel opened by the Thunder Bobs. See you next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molemaster43 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I like how the wooden coaster is secluded in the trees and a lot of the drops are unable to be seen. I recommend putting a building over the carousel, as the in-game carousel doesn't really fit in with the forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimby Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 No, no. The carousel fits perfectly with the surrounds and really keeps the park area fresh. Becuase, we all know, no one really likes a park that is pure earth tones. You need rides that "Pop" off the flora around them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldiehound Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 July 26th 1979: The park is getting close to the opening day. Shot0851.bmp Welcome back! Shot0852.bmp There has been a lot of rides made since my first visit. Shot0853.bmp Plus, the park got a lot of general changes. Shot0854.bmp See you later Colorado Canyon!

SoCalCoasters Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 If you want to you can also change the fence queue style and coloring as well as the colors of the path of you want any kind of queue variation. It's looking better every update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldiehound Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Happy 4th of July! May 14th 1980: Opening Day! Shot0855.bmp The park started filling up right away. Shot0859.bmp Sawmill Chute is really popular. Shot0861.bmp The first car on Vortex. Shot0863.bmp Shot0865.bmp Shot0866.bmp Shot0868.bmp Enterprise is a great ride. Shot0869.bmp Mad Mouse. Shot0870.bmp Shot0873.bmp Shot0876.bmp Shot0877.bmp Parachute Tower had a long line. Shot0878.bmp The first train on High Flyer. Shot0879.bmp Shot0881.bmp Shot0883.bmp Shot0887.bmp At the end of the day there was a great firework display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
