SixFlagsAstroworld Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone! I decided to create a Theme Park on RCT3. This is my first time posting a new topic so I might make a mistake or 2 here. Side note: I'm going to post three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). And this park will keep going from 1973 to present day (and the future) If anyone has any questions about this park, feel free to PM me Park Timeline: 1973:Lake Shernview announced 1974:Construction begins 1975:Park opens on March 15th 1976:Tornado introduced and Spiral Slide gets new colors 1977:Wild Eagle, a wooden coaster, Announced 1978:One of a kind Corkscrew announced 1979:Octopus and a Tropical Restaurant introduced 1980:Ripcord shuttle loop announced 1981:Space Scramble replaces Tornado 1982:Hurricane River announced and Tropical Restaurant renamed Hurricane Jim's Tropical Eats 1983:Thunderbird, Chairlift, and The Dock restaurant announced 1984:Alpine Rush, Wipeout!, and new colors on Corkscrew Ride List: Roller Coasters: Mining Mania Wild Eagle Corkscrew Ripcord Thunderbird Alpine Rush (new) Water Rides: Splash Chute Hurricane River Flat Rides: Carousel Sky Chuter Spiral Slide Octopus Space Scramble Chairlift Wipeout! (new) Total Ride Count: 15 Former Rides: Tilt A Whirl Tornado Swan Boats Anyway, Here's where we start. It was 1973. A theme park called Lake Shernview was announced to be built. The construction started 3 months into 1974. A reporter (who happens to be a fan of theme parks) was granted permission to take photos of the park. Here are the photos: Shot0000 (4).bmp Hi everyone! I'm Joe. I'm going to post updates about our newest park: Lake Shernview. Here's an overhead view of the park to start off. Shot0002 (2).bmp I was allowed on top of the Parachute Tower (I think it's going to be called Sky Chuter or something) Here's the spiral slide Shot0003 (2).bmp A shot of the Carousel. I heard it was moved from another park but I don't remember where. Shot0004 (2).bmp I probably should have lifted my camera up a little. This is the Park's entrance. I'm signing off now. More photos coming soon! Edited March 25, 2019 by SixFlagsAstroworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi everyone! Joe here! It has been 2 weeks since I took those construction photos. here's an update Shot0005 (2).bmp I forgot to take a picture of Sky Chuter in my last update, so here it is! They just finished repainting it yesterday. I like these colors better than the last one which was Yellow/red/blue. Shot0006 (2).bmp They Even repainted the carousel. Shot0007 (2).bmp I asked if they could repaint the slide, but the owner (Tyler McFlock) said that it's staying that way. This looks ugly. Shot0008 (2).bmp I noticed that there was a pit dug. I asked what it was for and Tyler said that it was for a water ride. Shot0009 (2).bmp The Sky Chuter was not done with the repainting yet so I took a photo from the slide. Shot0011 (2).bmp This was taken a few hours later. I asked Tyler why construction was taking a while and Tyler told me that he didn't have that much money to finish the park quickly so he used the cheapest construction crew possible. This construction could take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Don't forget fences to make the park's boundary, so guests don't randomly walk away. Also, adding trees and scenery will be good. Try not to do updates too often. Maybe once or twice a week will be fine. An okay start. I'll look forward to the next update. Maybe the water ride's coming next?

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi Everyone. I accidently deleted my game cleaning my computer. Fortunately, I do have a backup save file of this park. There might be a delay on the Tuesday update, but I'll get the updates out ASAP. Thank you all who participates in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Looks like you have a nice little start. Some advice: I would focus on the little things initially. It's very easy to get carried away with big additions and all that (of course, that's the fun part), but small details like themed (or detailed/well-designed) queue lines, good fencing for your rides, vegetation, buildings, restrooms, food, and other things like that are essential to a realistic park. It's totally up to you in the end, though. I'm just suggesting what I've seen from other successful story parks as well as my parks. I look forward to the next update!

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Good news. I finally fixed the game. I took a couple of screenshots to last for the whole month (including spring break). The park will start looking nice eventually. The update will be out sometime between 4:30 and 5:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 April,14th,1974 I came back to the construction on Lake Shernview. Here's an update Shot0012 (2).bmp Something looks different... Shot0017 (2).bmp They added a roof to the queue for Sky Chuter Shot0013 (2).bmp The Guest Relations building is complete Shot0014 (2).bmp The water ride is complete! Ladies and Gentlemen, Lake Shernview presents: SPLASH CHUTE! A Arrow Log Flume. They were running water through the course to make sure there are no leaks Shot0015 (2).bmp Parts for a roller coaster just arrived on site. What is it? Guess we need to wait until the next update. Shot0016 (2).bmp Once again, I'm ending the update with a overhead shot of the park. Until next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 It was a month since the last update. Not much done. Maybe the next update will be better? Anyway, photos. Shot0018 (2).bmp The roller coaster is an Arrow Mine Train called "Mining Mania". Looks like they are halfway through. I can't wait to ride it! Shot0019 (2).bmp What's this? Shot0020 (2).bmp They also added a Tilt a Whirl. I should mention that I'm a HUGE fan of these things. Shot0021 (2).bmp Splash Chute was being tested. I should mention that Lake Shernview is in Florida, and it is INSANELY hot here. I wish I could just hop on and get some refreshing water on me. Shot0029 (2).bmp Once again, I'm ending here. By the way, Tyler told me not to return for a while so they can spruce the park up. I wonder what that means... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hi! Joe again! I planned on waking up at 7:30 this morning, but I overslept. I got out of my house at 10:30. Even though I live 25 minutes away from Lake Shernview, it took me an hour to get there. Guess everyone had the same idea as me. Shot0043 (2).bmp It was pretty crowded in the park today. Shot0044 (2).bmp The Tilt a Whirl was popular. I decided to skip it today. Shot0045 (2).bmp The line for Splash Chute wasn't that long. It was pretty cold today, even at noon. I rode it and I regretted it. It was still fun Shot0046 (2).bmp Sky Chuter was popular too. I saw my car in the overflow parking lot. Shot0047 (2).bmp I decided to make Mining Mania my last ride for this trip. I was allowed on the roof Shot0048 (2).bmp Mining Mania was the most popular attraction in the park. The line was about 1 and a half hour long. Shot0050 (2).bmp I didn't have a video camera, so I took pictures. Don't tell anyone! Cameras are forbidden on rides here! Shot0051 (2).bmp Shot0052 (2).bmp Shot0053 (2).bmp Shot0054 (2).bmp Shot0055 (2).bmp Shot0056 (2).bmp Shot0057 (2).bmp Just to let you guys know, I didn't take any pictures of the final drop. It was a big drop followed by a sharp turn and up a lift hill. Shot0060 (2).bmp That's all for now. I plan on returning later tonight to see what LS looks like at night.

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'm back from the park. I got my hand stamped and I returned to the park for more. Sorry I didn't take much photos. I was having so much fun. Shot0062 (2).bmp The Tilt a Whirl was fun. The line gotten shorter, so I gotten to ride Shot0064 (2).bmp The lights were nice Shot0065 (2).bmp This park sure haves a nice lighting display. Even Splash Chute has headlights. Joe signing off.

I took a bunch of photos from the last operating season of 1975. Shot0067 (2).bmp I decided to ride Sky Chuter first. Shot0068 (2).bmp What a view! Shot0071 (2).bmp After SC, I rode The Carousel Shot0073 (2).bmp What it looks like when you leave The Carousel Shot0077 (2).bmp It was pretty hot today, so Splash Chute's line was long Shot0078 (2).bmp I decided to take a Whirl on Tilt a Whirl (get it?) Shot0076 (2).bmp I still hate the colors Shot0083 (2).bmp I was about to go down when I noticed something odd Shot0084 (2).bmp weeeeeeeee... Shot0085 (2).bmp It was over pretty fast Shot0086 (2).bmp I immediately climbed to the top of SC and took a picture of the dirt field. Like a TORNADO took it off or something...

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) ANNOUNCEMENT: Lake Shernview introduces a brand new ride to their collection. In 1976, Our new ride, Tornado, will give people lots of thrills by simulating a tornado! EXTRA! Spiral Slide will get a new color scheme! Next year, come visit Lake Shernview: There's no better way to have fun! Tornado Edited March 18, 2016 by SixFlagsAstroworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Saturday, March 27th, 1976 Season 2 I decided to check on the changes in the park for this season. Not a big report, but I might make better reports next year assuming Lake Shernview adds a ride greater than Tornado. Shot0087 (2).bmp Something looks different... Shot0088 (2).bmp Spiral Slide was repainted. Looks much better than the colors last year. Tornado was still being tested Shot0089 (2).bmp I thought this picture was too perfect to leave out. Shot0093 (2).bmp LS also added an Milkshake and Ice Cream stall. Is that even necessary? There's an Ice Cream Parlor RIGHT across the path. This is Joe signing off. I need a ride on Mining Mania...

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Lake Shernview needs a logo! I'm asking everyone who feels like it to design a logo for Lake Shernview! PM me your LS logo. It needs to be 70's style with the park's name (Lake Shernview) with the slogan (There's no better way to have fun!) The one I like best will be used for my park The deadline will be Thursday, March 31st Edited March 23, 2016 by SixFlagsAstroworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
