For future reference, put "VRCT ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON" in the title.

Fuck it, I'm not fixing the scenery issue for this park. I'm almost done with the scenario anyway. I can't believe the Misc Scenery tab has a limit. What a load of horse shit.

Okay, decision time: Should this scenario be Park Value/Repay Loan, or Income from Ride Tickets per Month?

And here we are. Transition Lakes, a scenario with a lot of room to expand, a small research tree, and extra land for sale.

I decided to go with a park value objective instead of guests or ride tickets. I avoided guest count objectives because 700 park value can be a drag, and I avoided ride tickets because I use that for most of my scenarios.

>>2092875
The extended coaster you get with Wild! has inclined loops. Maybe other coasters too, I don't know.

>>2093010
Extended Coaster is pretty much the best coaster type in any of the RCTs. I wish I had this much flexibility in RCT2

So I had an idea for a park, but I'm stuck on a small detail.

I've been playing a shitton of Binding of Isaac recently and I thought it'd be cool to have a "hell"-themed park.
My idea included to have coasters named after the 7 deadly sins, and make the coasters all have traits to fit the sin they are, but I just can't think of anything for Lust.
Anyone have any ideas?

>>2094587
Giant penis coaster fucking a huge cliff vagina

>>2094605
As subtle as that is, I want to go just a little more subtle.

>>2094682

No, that's too subtle.

>>2094784

10/10. All of you deserve a round of applause!

>>2094587
How about a rollercoaster that has over 10 excitement, but the guests aren't allowed to ride it. Like, it's in another area of the park which is impossible to get to.

>>2094874
Duuuuuudee.... you're on to something.
A really long coaster with only one train, with only two or three cars, and the queue is really short.

>>2094874
This is... actually a really good idea.


Also, I forgot Gluttony too, because I'm stupid and can't count to 7. And, surprisingly, is hard to think up an idea for it, too.
I was thinking of just having a really long coaster all condensed into a small area. that's really all I can think of.

>>2094587
So what are the other sin coasters?
I expect wrath to break your neck.
I also expect greed to be a station-station-half corkscrew corkscrew coaster with minimum launching speed and maximum ticket fee.

>>2094924
You're right on Wrath, but it's not going to be way too intense, just try to get it a little above 10 and that's it.
Greed will be just very expensive to get on, but not be a Goyim Machine (Though, that'd be funny as fuck)
Pride will be a coaster with a high max build height and make the first drop very big compared to the rest of the coasters.
Sloth will be a relatively slow Kiddie coaster.
Envy will be a small wooden coaster, smaller than the other steel coasters

Gluttony and Lust have yet to be determined

>>2094930
send gluttony through a food court and put fucktons of candy scenery around it

>>2094930
Sounds interesting. I'd like to see that.
Greed isn't one goyim machine. It's a goyim battery.

>>2094923
Gluttony: the coaster has really high nausea rating but there are lots of cheap food stalls outside of it.

>>2094931
>>2094938
I want to retain at least a little bit of subtly and try not to go for something too obvious if I can help it (Greed is the exception)
A high Nausea rating is actually a very good idea, though.

What about for the Gluttony coaster, what if it was Nausiating, but also hard to look at? Like, not because it's bright or anything, but because some of the elements of the ride look painful or stupid? Like not banking some turns, not having smooth drops, stuff like that?
Or should I stick to the more obvious one and surround the coaster in food?

>>2094952
I dig it.

>>2094952
To explain my reasoning further, for someone who has been taken over by gluttony, they'd be fat, unkempt, and just plain unsightly, right? They just have no idea how to keep themselves in check, and I kindof want the coaster to reflect that sort of image. Unsightly and painful to look at.

Here's a hyper twister I made just for this thread! Don't shit on it! :)

Inverted coasters are fun. I think I'm going to put a station on this one later.

Never new there was a dedicated RCT general on 4chan, do y'all generally agree that 2 is the best?

>>2097696
Pretty much. The scenery system in RCT2 allows for far more complex structures than in RCT1. However RCT1 has the better scenarios, so my advice would be to play RCT2 with Crappage's remade RCT1 scenarios.

I made a hell.

>>2098753

>rocket coaster with chain lift launch
RIP, guests

>>2101764
It works.
It breaks down a lot, but it works.

>>2101764
I learned this the hard way when I had a launched motor bike racer coaster.

>>2101887
How is that hill not a more intense thigh-buster?

>>2100376
this is hard as hell what the fuck

>>2101914
>>2101764
What's the big deal here? I thought up of a system that will prevent the trains from crashing.
Of course, they won't be able to complete the circuit after a rollback, but at the very least they won't crash. Just close/open the ride again to reset it.

>>2101985
I don't think I've ever tried, but do brakes work in reverse?

>>2101994
Actually yes, believe it or not. So do Block Brakes.
But as soon as the rolled-back train touches the block brakes that are holding another train, the rolled-back train just gets nudged forward at like 2 mph, after going though like 7 4mph brakes.
It's not a very clean system, but I'd rather this than kill 100 people because the trains FUCKING EXPLODE when they come in contact with each other.

>>2102021
Holy shit, get this.
I was testing the coaster for a while to see if I can get that rollback scenario to happen, and the coaster broke down with a Safety Cut-Out, which is the thing I wanted to happen.
The train along the launch lift hill didn't keep going after the breakdown, no, it just instantly went from 100 mph to 0, and was just stuck there. The Mechanic fixed it and the train started accelerating again like it were at the start of the launch and it did roll back, but the lift hill kept pushing it back up the hill. So unless there's a breakdown status that completely disables any effect the list hill has on the train, rolling back into the station won't be an issue.

>>2102045
Yeah, that's what happens with my launch coasters. I'm actually not even sure if the coaster can make it all the way back to the station at a speed that would cause a crash because I think the chains slow it down at the same speed they accelerate the coaster at so it would never have a chance to make it back there unless there was some freak breakdown or something.

It'd be neat to have proper launch sections with OpenRCT

I was trying reverse freefall type coasters with chain lift launches a while back. The chain removes as much energy as it adds in the opposite direction, with a powered launch needed to compensate for friction losses for the train to return to the station.

How does the flat chain launch work? Is it just a modification to the game or is there a setting I can use? Can't seem to figure it out, I'm using the same coaster type as >>2101887.

>>2102242
It's a trainer thing, it's not part of the game.
Be warned, use block brakes, because this type of coaster breaks down A LOT.

>>2102248
The RCT2 Reliable patch works really well to cut down on the breakdowns but you need to run it every time you run the game (and anyone who downloads your park will need to run it as well)

>>2102262
It doesn't break down THAT much. Just a lot compared to the other coasters in the park.

>>2102336
I was a bit surprised to see that its still 54 seconds long. That has something to do with it, I'm sure. Build a short lift launched coaster on a workbench and it'll break down within a few minutes.

How am I suppose to make this work ? Bought it on Steam sale and this fucker won't even launch.

>>2103502
I heard that this game just flat-out doesn't work if you have Windows 8. I could be wrong.

I'm not sure how to help. Ask Steam support?

Right-click RCT2.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Run in Windows 98 / Windows ME & Disable Visual Themes.

Alternatively, buy GOG version and perform above steps.

I'm running RCT2 on Windows 8.1 with pretty much all compatibility options and it's working fine.

On the other hand GTA IV is completely bricked due to its anti-piracy measures. I bought it on sale before I had a computer that could run it 2 years ago and now that it's bricked I can't ever play it. It pisses me off.

>>2104097

It's more Microsoft's fault for discontinuing something. I've been able to get the game to "start" but it never advances beyond a loading screen no matter what I do.

>>2103502

RCT2 is on Steam? I never knew...

>>2104336

No, GTA IV was almost unplayable even before GFWL went down. I remember spending hours fiddling with the Steam version, eventually just installing three different cracks to just get rid of all the DRM.

The supports arent good enough for me to want to do them, generally. Either need a serious custom support pack or have to sculpt terrain to the coaster.

>>2106380
Can you tell me where it was so I can expand my folder of obscure coasters with something good again?

>>2106501
It was in Denmark. *NOT* in Copenhagen (where Denmarks most arguably famous amusement park lies), this was another one which I don't quite remember the name of. Wooden construction, old manually braked with a braker always riding along.

>>2106535
Found it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyrehavsbakken

Rutschebanen I believe.

>>2106535
>manually braked
Jawesome.

>>2106538
It was pretty cool, the ride was a little bit different every time, especially when controlled by a different brakeman.

>>2106536
Holy shit, that park's been open since the 1500's.

>>2106535
>>2106536
Checked RCDB for any pics especially Rutschebanen in Bakken which seems to be upgraded to automatic brakes by now.
Didn't find >>2106380
though, but pic related. Denmark seems to have fun with scenery.

>>2106587
Oh that's kinda sad, having a brakeman adds character.
Although I suppose the old cars were getting old. I remember them fixing the bars for some wagons while running. The people fixing would ride with the rollercoaster... Danes are crazy.

They would also sometimes allow me to sit in an extra lap (Back when I went I rode many many times, it's a fun ride, queues were generally pretty short too).

>>2106587
Also the decoration looked like the kinda thing to change. Also there's a statue of a girl baring her tits in the background there.

Extreme Heights always feels like it needs a little something extra by way of landscaping.

>>2107491
Probably because it's such a fucking bland landscape. Monotone Hills would have been a more fitting name.

I think circular loops are actually feasible on waterslides. The difference is that you aren't sitting.
I think 5 maybe 6g should be ok when you lie on your back. Anyone got statistics?

>>2111708
From what I know and have heard, Action Park did a waterslide loop just because they could.

>>2111728
>>2111708
I know that West Edmonton Mall has a waterslide with a loop in it, and it doesn't use dinghies I believe.

>>2111728
I heard that didn't work as intended 100% of the time, though, due to varying body mass and positioning.

>>2111708
>4 mb GIF

What the hell

>>2111765
I think all of the current "looping" water slide are body slides. It's more of an over-bank turn.

>>2112224
>fully enclosed loop
Casual/10

>>2112224
I wonder how they lubricate those loops. I doubt an initial dousing of water would suffice all the way to the top of the loop, water running down both sides of the loop would cause drag, and I imagine a water venting orifice that doesnt bother the rider would be bothersome to design.

Also how do you suppose they rescue someone that gets stuck in there?

>>2112217
Sorry. I have no Idea what I'm dooing. I used a shitty gif from Youtube site and then cropped the Inage untill it was postable.

>>2112224
Check out zero-G at action park
"the world's tallest double looping waterside"
Reminder that zero-G is just a name, not a promise and loop only means circle.

>>2112248
There's probably a couple of hatches on the slide that open if someone gets stuck. There's that little staircase at the bottom of the hill and the ladder up to the loop.

>>2112270
Seems to be the case, considering the walkways on the top of the loop and the one at the bottom of the drop.

Also why are Go Karts so powerful?
Like I'm going through RCT1 just solely using them and I seem to be doing better than I expected.

>>2112720
Because everyone loves thrill rides.

They also love paying $5+ for go-karts.

>>2112720
Go Karts are fun as hell, have you even been in one?

>>2111708
>>2111708
From the ASTM guidelines: 5-6Gs would be acceptable for short durations. Note that this is for a roller coaster seat and restraint, and this specific G force limit would be Acceleration Gs or the equivalent of the force you feel laying down on a flying coaster (so in this case the force you feel pushing down on you on a bodyslide).

The G force limits would definitely change with waterslides but I don't want to pay $40 to find out exactly how. Because of the lack of restraint and the freedom of motion, I don't think 6 Gs would be allowable, especially because you don't want people blacking out right before they splash into a pool of water. Pretty sure Action Park wouldn't have given a shit either way. It'd be interesting to see those specs, though.

And I love that gif, that's exactly how Verruckt would have been with its intial hill design, except you would go airborne at 80 feet in the air. EXTREME.

>>2113441
>laying down on a flying coaster
I actually thought about this too. Hopped into NoLimits yesterday and built a 40m loop with the closest coaster type.
All you need is a flying coaster with good upstop wheels and well designed seats and you can have the worlds first save circular loop.
It doesn't even reach 5g.
Man I should mail this to some amusement parks and check their reaction.

About the waterslides though. Jea looks like banging the head on it is inventable. Even if you reach -1g at the top someone will still lift their head from the wall just enough to get it banged back when it goes to 6g again. I doubt that one would go unconcious due to the blood getting sucked out of the head (remember you are laid down) but more from the impact onto the slide.

>>2112224
>>2112248
There Is a loop at a Pool in my region. It's like the picture but a double loop. You get into a cabin with a trap door and fall into a short vertical part. the looping part is held wet with water jets spraying a mist into the pipe.

>>2114253
Meh I'm retarded. You can't even see the loop on the picture. Here you can see the full one with the escape hatches at the bottom parts.

>>2114265

Well usually only people who are too light get stuck because they don't have enough momentum. For me as a 200lbs guy it was no problem, was pretty fucking fast even on the incline.

The impulse or the lay-down?

Built myself into a corner twice on this one. Can't build straight back from the station, and can't put a sea serpent or cobra roll on the half-loop. Darn.

Built myself into a corner on this one. Can't build straight back from the station, and can't add a cobra roll or sea serpent to the half-loop. Darn.

>>2117340
Zero g roll?

>>2117359
yeah, try this

then have it do a 180 degree turn, trim brakes, then a cutback through the dive drop and into the station

>>2117368
Something like this?

>>2117373
yep

I actually just built a quick replica to test the idea myself

>>2117378
I'm sure we can find a way to make this more compact.

>>2117378
Just put 45mph trims at the bottom of the dive drop, better stats now.

>>2117379
>>2117381
squeezed it down a little by trading the zero g roll for a second loop

stat tradeoffs are subjective, better excitement, worse other stuff

>>2117391
I worked with it for a bit, and worked in that sea serpent and kept the roll. The excitement is better and the rest of the stats are still tolerable, but I don't like the extra straight track before the station.

>>2117396
is there room for a quick trim brake and in-line twist?

Although that might be too many inversions and we'll start getting worse returns on the stats.

>>2117391
also using a helix up+helix down for the turnaround before the cutback on my version yields better stats than a plain 180

>>2117401
I think you're right on this one. Another roll won't be worth it.

>>2117403
bunny hill?

>>2117402
Added another block section and reduce the station size (and with it, the train size). It results in a reduction of excitement and intensity, but a slightly higher nausea.

>>2117408
Hmm, nope, the rest of the track is too low.

>>2117416
What about if you gave up on the extra block section and moved it forward past that curve?

But I suppose the minimal boost, if any, to excitement probably wouldn't balance out the added efficiency.

Wait a second, I can keep the extra block+train AND have the longer trains too. My mind is playing tricks on me, it's 5 AM here

We'll have to continue this discussion.

>>2117427
I was wondering why you couldn't just keep the long trains

I... what?

>>2118051
I think the length requirements for intensity changed between RCT1 and RCT2.

Resuming work on this inverted coaster design.
Another twist pushes the stats up. I'm not liking the 0.3 increase in intensity, though.

By the looks of it, it's a startup by people from other studios. RCT:W is the only game listed as what they've done, but they have an internship program which assumes they've done more.
After a bit of digging, it looks like they mainly deal with online & mobile stuff, so I can assume that the 'next phase' is the online implementation and such.

"We are an interactive game studio focusing on free to play games for mobile and PC platforms in the Pacific Northwest. Our team of top notch talent have worked on some of the most beloved games in the industry"

Something seems off.

just as exciting as the real thing

>>2121062
Who was developing the game before these guys?

>>2121156
Well acording to atari not ON5 but who knows.
Forum says Pipeworks has been at it but seems to have removed traces.

>>2121156
Group called Pipeworks who have since pulled all references to RCT World from their Facebook.

Doesn't sound like it was a friendly change.

>>2121192
found this:
"When Atari announced RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile, they promised that a full PC experience is coming. The game was officially announced during Gamescom 2014 with a teaser trailer, subtitled World. The first screenshots and details of the game was revealed during PAX Prime 2014. Leaked info mentions that the original RCT creator, Chris Sawyer will be consulting in the development process of RollerCoaster Tycoon World. The games development was recently hit with a change of developer from Pipeworks Software to Area 52 Games. At this time it is unknown as to why this has occurred, some speculate Area 52 Games Could be doing the multiplayer aspect of the game While Pipeworks Software Developed the single player aspect. However Pipeworks software has deleted all information of the game from its websites and Fan pages and their company logono longer included promotional material. This could imply that Pipeworks Software are no longer involved in the creation of the game. The game is currently due for release in early 2015 although it has been announced they will not announce an official launch date until closer to game release.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RollerCoaster_Tycoon_World

Would take with a grain of salt though. I think Sawyer denied any relation to RCT4M and RCTW.

>>2117479

Been slacking with building shit a bit, been busy

Here's a thing I made

I'm also working on a new track pack, which should be super exciting

>>2121202
Oh dear.
>>2121706
Yay, new track packs. I've been dicking around in the rollercoaster designer lately, so I should have some new tracks to put put soon too.

>>2121202
This doesn't bode well for them. It's either going to be released early and play like crap, or be delayed another decade.

>>2122276
why not be delayed another decade and still play like crap

>>2122280

>>2121203
>consulting

means basically nothing, he even "consulted" on RCT3 IIRC

Fuck you stats, I'm mega proud of this design :$

Name this baby, guys!

>>2121961
Here is an excerpt from the new tracks. I really love this one.

>>2122728
>not shortening the station by one piece and then putting block brakes there
Less than subtle hint.

>>2122846
Why in the world would I need more block brakes than I already have? You're free to change it if you want to

>>2122728
Which coaster types have those nifty spinny launch wheel hills?

>>2123613
Twisters.
I fucking love twisters, they're god tier cause they have the most options of all the coasters in the game. Stand-ups and Floorless can do everything Twister can, except launched lift hill

>>2123747
I almost always get better ratings at Floorless coasters, but you can't get much more versatile than the good old steel twister roller coaster. The only thing that comes close is something like the flying coaster, which has so many options that it's nuts.

>>2122728
I don't understand why people make coasters as compact as they can and then put the entrance and exit outside it's grid lines. If you put them both on the other side, it makes it more compact and the pathing adds to the excitement.

You get bullied if you actually like RCT3 here?

>>2124229
You get bullied if you say RCT3 is better than RCT2.

>>2124969

Not bullied, really ... just responded to with a pitying face and then ignored.

Anyone else think Reversers have amazing aesthetics? Underrated coasters imho

>>2125027
Yes they are.

>>2125110

>The part that's on the longer track somehow moves faster

This has always bugged me. It would make more sense if the front of the car went onto the outer curve, so that the back of the car, travelling the shorter distance, overtakes it.

>>2125148
*_*

how have I never noticed how weird it is that it moves like that. Holy fuck.

>>2125027
I think they're neglected for the same reason side-friction coasters are. If you don't take care when designing the ride, you get lots of crashes.

>>2125209
What a pussy argument.

>>2125525
As you posted that, one of my side-friction coasters crashed.

what have I done?

>>2125580
HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR?

>>2125580
You've found the reason why scenarios with money limits outnumber those without. Not just by reason of paying upfront, but very long coasters don't have the throughput unless you do 6+ blocked trains.
Longass Hyper Twisters and Gigas almost cannot be messed up, unless you purposefully put unbanked tiny turns after huge hills with >5 latG.

>>2125580
I am at a loss for words.

>>2125580

9.11/10.20

How do I convert screenshots to .jpg or .png?
RCT2 screenshots are in this weird format, and I want opinions on muh coaster.

>>2126253
Try mspaint silly.

>>2126273
Hope this works.

>>2126273
Thank you based Anon
>>2126340
Why are the stats like that? I was expecting something higher, the speed drops to around 15 mph in the loops and hilltops.

>>2126342
It would be higher if the speed wouldn't drop at loops. It's a good thing that the loops are taken slowly.

>>2126343
>it's a bad thing the loops are slow
>it's a good thing the loops are slow
Care to elaborate?
I'm not poking fun at you, I'm genuininely confused as to what you're trying to say.

>>2126345
I meant the Intensity would be higher if the speeds were higher.

>>2126350
Oooh. So there's no room for improvement?
You should've seen the first verion, 10+ intensity, 3- fun

>>2126527
There's room for improvement at the end of the ride. It ends so abruptly.
Of course, you can easily add +1 excitement through scenery and landscape that the rollercoaster designer can't account for.

>>2126342

I'd make it longer, these twister-type coasters generally seem to be intended to be quite long, I guess if they're too short that drives down the excitement.

>>2126340
I like that color scheme and how it's all unique loops

New thread soon. Don't forget to put "/vr/ct Rollercoaster Tycoon" in the title.

>>2127532
Oh my, thank you!
This is my first coaster creator-coaster After a 5~6 excitement woodie.
I actually spent about twenty minutes on the colours alone.

>>2126943
I can try, but doesn't longer also drive up the intensity?

>>2128189
500's the bump limit, not 300.

>>2129109
Somehow I forgot this.

>Been playing RCT since 2001
>Been on 4chan since 2008
>mfw I just now discover this thread

>>2130193
/vr/ isnt very old, so you havent missed it too long.

>>2126340
>>2126625
>>2126943
Made it a little bit longer. The excitement is higher, but only a bit, and the intensity is more higher.

>>2130193
Iktf

>>2130249
Consider attempting to lower the lateral Gs, I can almost guarantee you that's what's contributing to the high intensity.

Also scenery helps a lot with the excitement, so don't forget that.

>>2130967

>>2130967

With the pods and all those restraints, does it even matter if it's a water slide anymore?

New RCTW pic.
Personally I am worried.

>>2130912
This particular thread wasn't helped by the OP being an idiot and forgetting to put a subject in.

>>2131258
>that fucking track coming out of the building
Jesus Christ.

>>2130967
How's that a real water slide when you basically sit in a car?

>>2131258
Holy shit, the same lame art style as RCT3. Jeez get your shit together Devs! Also graphics seem meh.

>>2131258
So it's a slightly better looking but still aliased as fuck RCT3?

Well then.

>>2131258
Looks furry.

>>2111708
is that a blood smear?

>>2131013
I would consider it a water slide until they put wheels on it, then it's a water coaster.

>>2131258
Oh great, it looks just as cartooney as RCT3. Is that a gift shop? Well, at least we finally get prefab buildings.

>>2131258

Rate my blockbrake/station section, /vr/ct!

>>2132353
That's pretty fucking cash.

>>2122678
Also, somehow rct decided to fuck me. Literally all I did was change the lift hill speed down, to see if I could shave off Intensity points. Then it dropped 2 full points in Excitement, and when I changed it back, it stayed like that.

Side note: the ride ironically has MORE scenery and path interactions than before

>>2132395
Maybe removing and rebuilding one part will fully reset it.

>>2131650
> Is that a gift shop? Well, at least we finally get prefab buildings.
It's a flat ride for the Americana theme.

Also decided to have a go at making a decent station building.

>>2131258
>>2131464
>>2131470

>>2132748
oh, I should have added:
>"Don't worry, the game will have antialiasing. It's not fully cooked yet. My next screenshots will give a better representation of what the released game will look like."

So mild optimism.

>>2132748
>It's a flat ride for the Americana theme.
God damn it, why are the themes like they were in RCT3? That scenery sucked major balls and was so much more limited

>>2133019
because based Chris has abandoned us

>>2133019
Just hope that the game is mod friendly, then modders will fix all the problems and bring forth a new age of Rollercoaster Tycoon.

>>2133043

>>2133043
Or how about the developers get their shit straight and we don't have to mod this shit in? That's the preferable option.

>>2133071
Well we're just guessing here, it's the only image of a ride we've gotten, plus they said they can't say much more due to marketing having a release schedule for this stuff.

It could very well just be a generic housed flat ride for that theme, with other rides like the spiral slide & such having a generic variation for use throughout any theme.

We just gotta wait and see, they seem to be pretty hopeful on getting feedback and such with this game so if we raise concerns on their forums we could get a response.

>>2133126
Has anyone said what kind of ride it is?

>>2133286
All he said was "a flat ride" so it could be anything from a motion simulator to a twist type ride.

>>2133403
I'm hoping it's an arcade, or something.

>>2132353
Pretty dope. I like the use of limited space, I find myself struggling with rides like that so close to the park entrance.

>>2133043
>>2133071
just give up on this shit and accept that theme parkitect is the savior we need

>>2132353
>stairs right after the entrance
The handicapped hate you.

>>2132756
That still doesn't get me optimistic. I didn't like the cartoony look in RCT3 and that Screenshot gives me horrible flashbacks.

>>2133494
But it's just RCT2 in hipster-ish graphics.

>>2133914
>tfw the totalitarian state where RCT takes place euthanizes all handicapped people
no worries

>>2133494
Pretty much this.
>>2134005

I'm not putting my hopes on the parkitect train just yet. I need to see more of that game first.

>>2134005
with overbanked turns and new coasters and a few new bells and whistles

and that's

pretty much all we want, isn't it?

>>2135252
I don't know. The slopes are a little to steep and the art style looks like it will make it hard to build good looking stuff with scenery.

Not the biggest or baddest, but I like it enough to work on the design some more.

This park is a pathing nightmare. Think Thunder Rock, but with multiple levels of depth instead of one level of height.

Sometimes I forget just how much having duelling tracks adds to excitement.

Hi

>When you have an almost perfect, awesome looking coaster, and one of the hills is off

Fuck. This. Wellp, can't be arsed correcting this shit... sigh....

>>2145701
Remove these, shift 1 to the left by extending the turn, and you should be able to have the hill crest at 2 lower while maintaining the drop?

>>2145720
But anon... It needs to make this, too...

>>2145727
Only other option is to make everything before it a bit larger... A chain lift there and that short is p ugly though.
Actually, if there's a breakdown won't that section be hazardous because of it?

>>2145741
Actually, no, because it's in the first block brake section after the initial chain lift. If there is a safety cut-out forcing the train to stop, the train which is waiting for this block section is on the first lift hill, which means it is stopped as well.

I've found a way to fix it but now my first twister element looks retarded ;_;

I'll let you know once I'm happy with the final product

>>2145765
Good luck.

I just bought Theme Park Studio, haven't played it yet

did I make a mistake
