With a game like this, I wouldn't be too surprised to see a game simulating the Sept. 11 attacks in the near future, (or maybe that game is Flight Simulator). Those of you interested in what the game looks like, some screenshots can be found at http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/jfkreloa...creenindex.html

Hi Seeing as how I am not going to get it finished, I decided I would just post my Movie World recreation here. The theme park part has been finished, exept for the seating, bins and lights. The bottom of the map looks a little bare because I didn't finish the car park and studios but others are welcome to finish it off if they like. So here it is, I hope you like it. It is at http://www.geocities.com/matty_o_rct/ At the moment, I am making Dreamworld again, but this time in Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, so when it is finished people will be able to see the park in full 3D and ride all the rides. (It should be just like being there and give those people who have never been there the chance to enjoy the rides, minus the wind in your face when on a ride and the exitement of being there, although if you want the wind part just set up a fan in front of the computer). I started a new thread so that the first post can contain the link to the downloadable movie world to save people searching for it in another thread. Peoples comments on the park would be good and I will be adding screenshots of my Dreamworld recreation as I get through it.

I have finished constructing the theme park element of movie world now, except for maybe adding seats and litter bins but i will get there eventually. I have been a little lazy lately and haven't managed to fill in the rest of the blank areas of the map. It was different when i made dreamworld because that park is larger and takes up more of the map than movie world does so it is often a long and unstimulating task to fill in large areas of map with trees and especially a car park. As well I will still add in a couple of sound stages off to the side so it is all of these less exciting part of constructing a real park recreation but i will eventually get there, but when I do I will be posting it up here for you to view. I will try and do some more work this week, but no promises (I am getting busy with school work).

Here is a screenshot of where I am up to in my RCT2 recreation of Movie World. I didn't get as much done this week as I had hoped but I have now built both the Lethal Weapon and Wild West ride.

Here are a few more screenshots of progress. I have sought of jumped around a little bit, but I am working on the Scooby Doo spooky coaster at the moment. When it is finished it won't look like that obviously as it will have a white roof over the top. It would also be helpful if anyone could point me in the direction of an onride video of the scooby coaster or the layout of it, as I cannot remember exactly how the ride goes. Thanks.

Yeah I did transfer the dreamworld recreation via floppy disk to another computer. I tried loading dreamworld on the computer it was originally made on but it no longer works. And yeah, I did change the front sign. Last night to WBMW I put in the main street, built the bakery and ice cream parlour (I am not as happy with its look as I was with the other buildings so far), and have continued to lay out my path ways adding in the tree area in the middle. I put in the Lethal Weapon entrance sign and did the daily planet building with the section of the police academy show's grandstand in behind it. I wasn't happy with the way the daily planet building looks, but it is partly due to the limitations of the game (especially colours) and wall items. I also left a little area blank because I can't remember, nor been able to find any photos of what the building next to the guest services building and between what was the harry potter store (if it still exists). So if anyone can tell me what it looks like or has any photos or nows of any other sites with photos of movie world it would be helpful.

The batman ride is just two normal motion simulators. And if there is a mod to get rid of the scenery limit I want to find about it. When choosing the scenery for my workbench, I always use it up before I get to the end and to get stuff i need in the last section, I have to go back and remove others. So it becomes very annoying. At the moment I am constructing main street. I have had to do it at a right angle from the path to the fountain as the game doesn't allow for diagonal roads. I just got back on the net to find some pictures of some of the buildings in main street before I build them. The screenshot of main street so far is zipped below. (i have to zip them because they are 1 mb screenshots and they take ages to upload on my slow internet)

As for where I get a lot of my custom scenery from mainly park downloads from various websites and when that park loads, it loads all its custom scenery. So from heaps of downloads of parks and the occasional scenery pack from sites like rct2.com (especially their vacation parks), rcttown.com, and heaps of others. Eventually the build up. Some of the custom paths are really good too. If you see in my recent movie world shots below, you'll see i use a lot of one particular path. It is good to because you can separate so that the people walk where you want them to go, but you can't see the divide between the paths as it covers the full square. So out at the front gate where there is a heap of paths, the people will only walk through in a perfect straight line with out venturing off and getting lost and walking in circles because of their really bad AI. Anyway here are some updated screenshots of my new movie world recreation. Any one with suggestions (within the boundaries of the game) as to where to improve would be helpful. These new ones have the batman ride area added in, and part of the fountain at the front. I am trying to get them as realistic as possible by using the pictures on this website of movie world. Also I wanted to know, as I can't remember, what is on the back of the movie world sign? as i have no pictures of what the back looks like.

Since I can't seem to get Dreamworld working I have decided to start another Gold Coast theme park recreation. I have started doing movie world. This one should be able to be distributed for people to have a look at since it will work on my computer, but seeing as though this is the dreamworld thread, I may start a new one in the movie world boards or in the general discussion ones if people are interested in seeing my progress and so people can give me suggestions of what i have done wrong (keeping in mind the limitations of the game of course.) But in the meantime, here is a screenshot of what I have done.

Damn. Well I am stuck for ideas. I think that file may just never see the light of day again. It no longer even works on the computer it was created (which I think has been virtually destroyed by viruses, or my brother). I may start creating another one after I finish a heap of assignments this week, or maybe another recreation of a park on the gold coast. Recreations are what I am best at because the design of the park is more realistic then some of my creations which I never get finished because I'm a perfectionist and none of my parks are ever good enough. Movie world is always hard because the main street heads of at a bad angle from the fountain, which makes it EXTREMELY difficult to create due to the square blocks of RCT. Sea World, doesn't have enough rides so I don't usually spend much time on it. As for other theme parks, I have never been to any others so I can't get them as realistic.

That link above won't work, the correct address is http://www.geocities.com/mmjjdesign/index.htm

I still haven't managed to get the file working because I am now missing a custom scenery file that even the old computer doesn't have (it is tribuene.dat if anyone knows they have it), but I have uploaded the file to a website if people want to try and get it to work. It is about a 300kb zip file. The website is: http://www.geocities.com/mmjjdesign/index.html

I have managed to get some screenshot images that I had saved already on the old computer. But I still can't get it to work on the new one. On the old one I had downloaded heaps of custom scenery and so in order for it to work i need to transfer all the custom scenery to the new one. And I can only do it one at a time because it only says one file that it is missing at a time, so I am back and forth using a floppy disk transferring single 4kb files because I don't have the computers networked.

If I remember correctly, I think that it was as far as I could build it. I think there were limitations on the hight of the drop ride so I couldn't build it any higher, whereas the Tower of terror's limits were higher. Plus I think that in order for the tower of terror to work properly with out it falling of the edge it needed to be that high, but if the giant drop could go higher, it had a very extreme nausea or intensity rating and so no one would go on it. I really can't remember why. I just hope when RCT3 comes out, it is even more customisable, so I can make a MUCH better Dreamworld. And I agree, dreamworld has changed. I haven't been there for a few years now, but at the end of the year, or pretty much next year any time I will go there more often especially if I move towards Brisbane for University.

I have got some screenshots of what it looks like, but I am still trying to get the file working again so I can get some better ones. I also remember that this park was built using the map predating Nick Central, so that area isn't in here.

I noticed that some people were talking about a recreation of dreamworld made in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 in the forums a couple a years ago. If people were still interested in one, I had made one a few months ago that worked and looked really good (it probably took me 30 or so hours to make), but if anyone is interested in having a look at it, just reply back. I recently got a new computer and am at the moment trying to get the file to work again, since I am missing all the downloaded object files that made the park work on the old computer. But when I get them, I will post some screenshots. Of course due to limitations of the game it is not perfect, especially the giant drop and tower of terror not sharing the same tower. And the cyclone is not there since I was using a map from my last visit a couple of years ago.
