Planet Coaster

13 hours of play isn't so bad for one day. Time to stop now.

@Glubbo my RMC was based a bit on Storm Chaser at Kentucky Kingdom and from my experience on Twisted Colossus and Joker. This is an sort of overview of the ride without giving away the full layout.

I know it's been done, but I kind of want to do it now just to see how it goes 

[bladex]

wow the scenarios get hard real fast. i'm at the 1st fairy tale scenario and it is HARD you start with literally 6k and have to get a monthly profit of 3k plus you have to go nuts with the scenery. i have practically every ride built and still can't achieve the 3k! so i now have to come up with a super coaster on a limited budget that guests will pay at least $10+ to ride!

@reanimated35, I like that you're using blueprint houses rotated in the spooky car ride, but just a tiny but of variation really helps. Just a minute on a tiny bit of colour variation in walls or roof tiles might be all that's required?

 

Can't play until later tonight, I'm spending tonight with Mrs and kid. Balance will keep me in good books.

stupid me i'll just set a park entry fee and watch the $ roll in! finally completed it. more screens of the awesum ULTRA settings. the claw is REALLY popular!

I've noticed the trick with priority queues, is to not connect it back to the queue too close to the ride entry. Allow enough queue length between the re-join and the ride entry for a full coaster train worth of guests. This way there won't be any delays in getting guests to fill the gates in the station.

exactly. would be better if it had it's own queue and entrance though they are a pain to add. and if you add them have to add them right away if you try to add them while the ride is open it will clear the queue.

had a quick play with the terrain tools today it's amazing when you can actually create! i just wish the brushes were bigger though and also how it pushes/pulls goes faster..

also the maps are A LOT smaller than rct 3.

This is probably one of my favourite parks so far. Really like the rapids. Watch from the 13th minute mark for the cinematic shots and POV of roller coasters. 

What are some parks that have stood out to you? 

[Whombex]

@TomiJ - I quite liked Uthris' Alpha 3 Renaissance Fair, Silvarret's Grizzly Valley (Alpha 1 he was doing stuff very few could match), and E.A.G.L's Western Park in Beta was quite good.

If anyone's struggling with how to build coasters and stay true to the style of the manufacturer, Silvarret has started a series called Coaster College. So far he's done Woodies and Hybrid Woodies. Others are starting to upload their tutorial videos too.

Silvarret, Keralis and De-Lady-Signer have started a collaboration, a Polynesian themed park. They share the save file and release a video of their progress one player, one week at a time.

AdfoTV, Rudi Rennkamel, Freethebear and Pharohs started a group before them, and have called it Team Schematics. They've released only 2 videos so far.

i'm kinda bored of this already there's just not enough to do and getting tired of sandbox mode. if only there was a scenario editor it would have lasted longer for me. but for now i'm shelving it.

Really?

Your loss then.

I've been thinking of making a park that's Dreamworld, but only the entry/fountain/train station/Rocky Hollow/Blue Lagoon/Gold Rush, in order for us to make out own Gold Rush/Blue Lagoon replacement. But making that would take me a few days with the ability I have to play PC. Want to make that for us, Bladex?

[bladex]

you can only play sandbox with no challenge so many times before you get bored silly. i'm not the only one that thinks this too on steam. also the lack of rides and shops don't help either. you can't even play maps you create in challenge mode it's sandbox OR GTFO...

After pumping out 13 hours of it the other week, I haven't been back. Not so because I don't want to, but I haven't felt very creative lately so instead I played some Mafia 3, and tonight I grabbed Steep and gave that a go. 

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

I will leave these here

these will be in the Winter update coming out tomorrow

I recommend DeekFTW. His Planet Coaster videos are quite good.

I hope they add Shuttle Coasters. (Boomerangs or something like Tower Of Terror 2)

[Reanimated35]

I'm still annoyed at the system limitation of not having all available terrain in each biome. 

[bladex]

it's nice they added some more shops but it's still lacking the ability to play any map i want in challenge. i'll prob check the new scenarios out tonight maybe i'll get another week out of it.

I figure it's one of those games you can go back to months/years later and still enjoy. Up until PC was announced I was still playing RCT3 on and off again. I've never actually played scenario mode in either game. I just mess around making sub-par attractions in sandbox mode and never opening the park haha. 

I haven't tried much of the new update yet as I'm working on a western area in an existing park. Given I can't add the snow to the current biome, I'm not sure how soon I'll get to play with the new stuff in this park and I don't really want to start again. 

[Reanimated35]

Clearly I wasn't going for realism here, but it's something.

what's it's ride specs?
