Final hours people, remember, midnight forum time (so Queenslanders will need it in by 11pm their time)

can someone tell me what a Moser Twin Flip is, im looking at you hussy

The zipper was at my towns new years eve festival, in the paper it said there were going to be rides there, and i assumed it would just be dodgems and a kids merry go round like other years, but to my horror when i read mondays paper i found out the zipper had been there, but i had been over at a mates place anyway so it didnt matter so much. It was the zipper that is painted white, if that can help anyone knowing what one it was.

Bump: You now have till midnight tommorrow to get your entries posted in this thread. I expect to see a stream of them being posted, or pin142 could win by default.

So, can you drive the go karts or play mini golf, or does the AI just do it for you.

These are the items that could be in the game, if there are any that i have missed, just post them. SLIDES Standard flume slide Headfirst mat slide 2-man raft slide 3-man boat slide 4-man family slide 2-man raft blast 4-man family blast Bubbling creek slide Reversing slide Kids slide Bowl slide Giant cone slide Wall surf slide Half pipe slide Kids raft slide High-speed tunnel slide Speed slide Freefall slide Toboggan slide Transparent tunnel slide 1-man transport slide 4-lane race slide 8-lane race slide Twister slide Pool plunge slide Super wide slide Surge slide POOL ATTRACTIONS Lazy River Rapid River Kids wave pool Medium wave pool Large wave pool Surf wave pool Whirlpool Spa Wave River Cinema pool OTHER Body board wave A Body board wave B Mini Golf Chairlift Tram Soaker coaster Beach volleyball court rental Small jump tower Large jump tower FOOD Vending machine Cart Outlet Small walk up outlet Large walk up outlet Small outdoor seating outlet Large outdoor seating outlet Small indoor seating outlet Large indoor seating outlet. Here are a few more renderings.

The way i think it could operate would be like this: Every day from November to Feburary, and on weekends for the rest of the year. And every day during school holidays.

I like the homebush site for the reasons stated above, but with parking when more than one even its on, then maybe a simple multideck carpark could be put in, or maybe the park could offer a $2 discount to those who use public transport. Is the land there owned by the government? I think if it is then the governement should put out a tender for a company to build a theme park, it would be better than another apartment development or something else that only rich people can enjoy. Bren76, maybe put this idea foward. As for that Spyland think for Sydney, its too much of a Niche market and not close enough to the standart theme park format for it to do well, i would visit it, but would anyone else? Maybe someone could build a waterpark in Sydney, its warm enough there for 365 day operation, and it would not require as much land or cash to build it, but it caould still get high visitation rates.

Cool thanks, just wondering though, what happens when you go on the 3D cinema?

You might need to edit it.

Nah, they would just screw it up. The first person I would ask is Ole Lange, but in an interview he said that he doesnt like water rides, so i guess not, maybe if i could 3d model better and could actually code something I would do it.

Personnaly, i dont think disney could work as well because thier parks have much higer visting rates that what could be sustained here, I think a Universal, Tussauds or pParamount park could work here, or maybe just a completley indipendent operator. If it was done right, and stuck close to the standard theme park formula (and not try to be anything too "out there") and was kept fresh with a new ride every year or so, then it could work, LPS seems to be doing well, even though its just mostly a collection of ex carnival rides, so imagine how well a proper park could perform.

Just wondering, can anybody post a complete list of all the rides avaliable in RCT3. Also, another slightly random thing, can someone post a pic of the new zero g roll element?

Just a reminder, you have one week to get your tracks posted in this thread.

I have been wondering, why haven’t we seen a water park Tycoon game yet, It could be quite fun and many people who play RCT would probably play it too. Here are some of my ideas for a water park game, tell me what you think. Slides, Every slide available now, from standard slides, to raft rides, master blasters bowl slides, extreme slides and many others. Other attractions such as Swing things, mini golf, Chairlifts and trams, and jumping towers. Pool attractions such as small, medium and large wave pools, lazy rivers, rapid rivers, whirlpools, spas and artificial surfing waves. Kids attractions such as water playgrounds, pirate boats, small slides, loads of fountain types, and fibreglass animals. Food outlets in the game wouldn’t sell individual items depending on the size, for example, carts could only carry one item, while hole in the wall outlets could carry 10 and large sit-down outlets could carry 25 items, all which you would have to research. Staff could include Handymen, Lifesavers, Mechanics, and Pool Cleaners. There would be 3 types of people, Kids, Teens and Adults, Teens can ride anything, but kids would only use small slides and shallow pools ect, while adults would use larger rides, but not kids ones. The game would be done in full 3d because the game would not require large numbers of polygons, for example, one slide segment could be done with 10 or so polygons, and 4 for the support, so frame rates would be high. Another feature in the game could be visiting mode, where you make a character (like in the Sims) then you enter one of your parks and actually control your character to run around the park, and you would be able to interact with things around the park (eg play around with water cannons, ride on rides, swim in the pools, and buy food), so if somebody recreated a real water park, people could see what it would be like to walk around in. Other things in the game could include heating your pools, if it’s too cold, visitors won’t swim unless it’s heated. Rides would be rated on criteria similar to RCT: Intensity, Excitement, Fun value (Nausea never really happens at water parks) , but another Variable could be an Aesthetical rating, so that would encourage you to theme stuff well, or else guests wont like it as much and would say “Raft slide 1 looks really drab”. What does everyone think of my idea? Attached is an un-textured pic of how the game could sort of look.

SDSC uses a vertical lift where the car rolls onto a section of track, and the track section is raised like a lift. Before the lift is a set of brakes that stops the car going foward if the lift isnt down in position. The issue people are discussing is whether the car could roll off the section of track before the lift if the lift is in operation (going up or down) because the track ends there.

I think its just a set of pinch brakes that the car cant continue past if they are shut because of the friction.

Maybe you could try the park?

Hmm, I dont know, how good was photo editing software back then? Thr colour of the shadow on the SP building roof looks a little lighter and a bit more blueish compared to the rest of the shadows in the park.

You were at school 3 days before Christmas?

Well, its a bit different down here in Victoria, and htey often can demand these things if they are working on major projects because for the developer it is simply easier to bow to the union demands than it is to have their project held up.

What if you want to rename something, for example, Alpine tobboagan park is now named Funfields just so you know.

Thats true, Construction workers can earn up to $100000 a year because of all the allowances they get for every little thing.

No, Giant inverted boomerangs.

Yeah, i think Id believe in an offical aprk press release rather than the email response from some staff member who the news hasnt trickled down to yet.
