WonderWorld RCT3 Park

[baileybrucem]

Greetings!

I've been playing rollercoaster tycoon for about 5 years, and I have recently acquired the third installment this past August. I read through all of these fictional parks others create quite often, and I decided it was about time I created my own. This is a project I have been working on for about three months now, and I would love to know what everyone thinks:

 

02/28/14

 

Currently under construction is WonderWorld, a theme park located in Monroe, Washington state just outside of Seattle. Owned and soon operated by a new franchisee Funtime Parks™, this thrill seeker's paradise will feature 2 extreme rollercoasters: A Holiday World-inspired Thunderbird, and the wooden Wildcat! WonderWorld also is introducing over 8 brand-new thrill rides, which include a log flume and a windseeker! Divided into two sections, Main street and a carnival-themed Grand Faire, riders of all ages will find something to love. Admission will start at $19.95 after taxes, and parking is $3.00!

 

Wonderworld will be opening for its first season Saturday, March 29th, and is projected to attract over 100,000 visitors by the season's close. The Main Street section of the park is almost completed, and is expecting some finishing-touches based on improving the footpaths.

The Grand Faire section is currently installing the remaining light packages, and is also adding a few touch-ups to certain areas of pavement. There are currently plans to add two enclosed dining areas by the end of July, offering climate-controlled seating and fresh food.

 

Rollercoasters:

 

Wildcat:

Towering over 120 feet tall, The wooden Wildcat is certainly a coaster all its own. Designed and manufactured in partnership with Great Coasters International, this wooden beast drops riders at speeds approaching 60 miles an hour with only a lap bar restraint! The track weaves in and out of itself, delivering huge thrills in a rather-small footprint. During the ride, passengers will encounter over 6 seconds of 'air' time, a full 360 degree helix, multiple headchopper effects, and dizzying hights! The track itself is 3,800 feet long, and riders are guarenteed to love every inch!

 

Thunderbird:

Does the name sound familiar? Inspired by Holiday World's 2015 edition, the Bolliger and Mabillard wing rider, Thunderbird will launch riders at 70 miles an hour, then take fly them through SEVEN disorienting inversions! The bright orange track features a zero-g roll, an Immelmann Loop, and a diving loop! Not to mention the terrain-utilizing 140 foot elevation change!

 

 

Stay tuned for updates throughout the season(s) I will be uploading larger pictures without the tools on the left, but my RCT game is being stupid and keeps crashing. So, momentarily, there will be no updates Comments and criticism welcome!

The parking lot is very large, so the company can focus on planned expansion in the future.

The entire parking area, which is lacking the asphalt because of how zoomed out it is.

The grand Entrance.

Upon entering the park through the extravagant entrance gates, park guests are greeted with Main Street, which includes a variety of shops and over 4,000 gallons of water splashing in fountains. This section of the park is almost complete, and is right on schedule to open for a 2014 season.

The bathrooms located to the right of the entrance are air-conditioned and have Dyson hand dryers *fancy*.

A view down the almost-completed Main Street.

Main Street's central food court, with everything from pizza to funnel cake.

The park already features the Circus Center, a large dining hall for special events!

The Circus Center is behind the 140 foot tall Ferris Wheel, located in the Grand Faire section of the park. Guests will get some of the best views from the highest point in this giant wheel!

Every major ride has a safety rating to allow our guests to decide if they would like to ride the attraction. This particular sign belongs to the park's Disk-O, a spinning ride taking guests almost 60 feet up, and appearing to fly right off the track!

The midway(s) of this section of the park are full of things to do, so even non-riders can be occupied! This outdoor game area includes a coconut shy, a test-your-strength, a ball toss, and a ring toss!

The midway games cleverly hide a Halloween building... interesting

The log flume ride, Clowntown River, takes riders through a quiet journey in the woods. However, No woodland journey is complete without a few drops, one over 60 feet tall!

Across from the flume ride is the Chainsaw, a permanent carnival classic that jostles riders 70 feet in the air.

The park's 120 foot tall GCI wooden rollercoaster, Wildcat, features an intricately designed entrance with beautiful "wild" landscaping.

Wildcat's jaw-dropping, G-force filled layout.

A classic flying carpet ride, the Ali-Baba gently swings riders around in a circular motion. This mild thrill ride can reach speeds up to 20 mph!

Across from the game center, there are more outdoor games which cover the entrance to another Halloween-only attraction.

The Grand Faire will also features a classic swing ride, Calypso. This ride will take riders 30 feet in the air and swing them, giving amazing views of the surrounding midway! It looks even better at night!

Moving back into Main Street for a moment, the Windseeker dominates the skyline with the SlingShot.

It includes bins for personal items and a ride operator booth.

More bathrooms across from the Windseeker, which once again have dyson hand-dryers.

What would a Carnival-styled theme park be without the classic Scrambler ride?

There is even a Loop-the-Loop, the Center Ring Loop "Coaster" that spins riders around a ring and momentarily suspends them 50 feet in the air!

The main attraction for the park is the Thunderbird, a launched wingrider manufactured by Bolliger and Mabillard.

With a detailed entrance and que, not a single thing about this ride was ignored.

After reading through this park and looking at the pictures, I would like to say this.

meh

I know that you only started playing RCT3 in August, but this park needs some work. The paths and such are lacking borders and fences. These two things are minor details, but they really make a park pop out. I see that you have path borders for the grand fountain, but that's really not enough. Second, there are some problems with the path covers. Why are some of the queue lines not covered, while all of the main paths are? If you are going to use path covers, use them in all paths, no matter what. Finally, there are several places that just look "ugly". For example, Windseeker. Why is there a fence surrounding the ride, yet there's still the asphalt sticking beyond the perimeter.

However, I would like to say that the custom rides are pretty nice. The log flume has a nice layout, and the woodie looks quite fun. However, why is there a launched wing coaster in 2012? Wing coasters from B&M were not that common back then, nevertheless a launched one. I'm guessing that this is a Cedar Fair park, due to the presence of Windseeker.

This park has plenty of potential, but it could be better. If you fix some of these issues, I'm sure that your park will look a whole lot better. Try to make some touchups to the park, and I'm sure that this will be the "next big thing".

Oh, and I'm wondering why these images are so tiny. Images with an 800x600 resolution works best, and anything smaller will really make looking at them a struggle.

I really like this park..but I agree with Yoshicraft.A Launched wing rider for a park that almost just opened looks really unreal.I would expect some sort of looping coaster,if this was a timeline.
