Obligatory tile inspector shenanigans post.

Anyone up for a collab? I've got lots and lots of time to kill and it's been way too long since the last one. Maybe the "Collaboration Nation"?

>>3915350

When were you thinking? Today?

I really want to do an open rct server with you guys. It was a lot of fun when we did it on /v/ and there was minimal griefing surprisingly.

>>3915296
i don't know why that's giving me a boner but ey

>>3916352
Seconding this. It'd be fun to just screw around with you all on a server for a bit.

>>3915350
>it's been way too long since the last one
Agreed. I'm a little short of time currently but unless you wanna finish this week I'm down.

Added the park to the collaboration document.

>>3916352
I'd be down for some server fun this week, never played online before.

few weeks ago i got back into rct2 massively again, and spent ages in sandbox mode meticulously crafting without doubt the best park i'd ever made. i was so proud of it, it had the utmost attention to detail and alot of planning in advance.
fastfoward to now, and ive moved to japan, and forgot to take thee save file with me. i only wanted to share screenshots with this group. now, that'll likely never happen :(

>>3917278
So have somebody email you the file. Don't tell me you left your computer behind in a house nobody has the keys to aside from the burglars.

>>3917298
was playing it on an iMac (too big/fragile to safely take overseas), and wound up giving it to my parents. the file is on there still, but i have better chances of finding atlantis than my folks do of finding and ssending me that file. (they very old)

>>3917328
Just ask them to give you remote access for a few minutes. Shit's easy if you talk them through it.

So I made this coaster the other day.

>>3917685
And underground portions.

>>3917685
>>3917687
wow thas dank man

>>3917685
Looks really comfy, I like it.

>>3915127
I dunno but we'll have literally months to figure it out...

>>3918674
wow

Does anyone have good advice for building Side-Friction Roller Coasters or other "exotic" ride types? I'm kinda tired of building the same old woodie/corkscrew/twister design.

Also, how am I holding up with this one?

I wish there were some sort of mod you could install where you could research EVERY type of ride/scenery/stall, but I've heard that there's an engine-level issue that prevents that.

>>3919890
Yes, the engine uses fixed-size arrays for basically everything.
This means it's lightning fast and amazingly stable, but also that there's an inviolate cap on how many things you can have for basically everything.

>>3918674
well played

What have I created

>>3920563
Angular refuse.

>>3920563
Reminds me of that prebuilt woodie from 1. Mischief I think?

>>3920578
damn that ride was dank as fuck

i really liked how rct1 handled the steel mini rollercoaster, not a big fan of the mini/junior coaster in rct2

>>3920724
Always used to be the first thing i built in the middle of leafy lake but it would crash like 50% of the time. Damn good ride otherwise

>>3920563
>It Keeps Turning Left

Same here man. Got a bunch of computer games from cd games from cereal boxes in the 2000

Easy money

>want to play some RCT2 while you have a big download running
>OpenRCT2 launcher downloads a new version at 30 KB/s
All the fucking time.

>>3921543
I got a rebranded version of pic related in a box of Kellogg's Frosties. It was a gold disc. I was trying to find it for years, before managing to get a response from Kellogg's about the disc. The name they gave me helped me to find out that it was a rebranded eGames disc.
A lot of the games seem to be freeware stuff, but there's some pretty fun ones on there, like a really cool multiplayer snake clone.

This game is so comfy

So I'm thinking about trying to complete Nevermore Park sometime soon; any adivce for going about it?

Also, does the coaster you start out with on it count towards the objective?

>>3927696
1: Remove paths that will make your guests lost later on
2: Place no-entry signs
3: Build whatever moneymakers floats your boat
4: Gradually remove the no-entry signs, opening up your park
5: Build the coasters whenever you can afford it
6: ???
7: Profit

The original coaster counts towards the goal.

Is there any actual penalty for having a park entrance fee too high in RCT1?

I've been suspicious, I made a single track flat steel mini coaster on Forest Frontiers shaped like a penis and did nothing else and these fucking retards keep paying $60 to come see it

>>3928654
Post penis coaster

>>3928654
The penalty is that they'll pay less per ride. Dunno what the formula is.

They also can't enter the park when you place it above the scenario setting for their wallets, obviously.

>>3928654
If you set it too high, some guests won't be able to enter your park from not affording it.

Additionally, you can't charge nearly as much for ride tickets.

So I just noticed an easter egg on Haunter Harbor - there's some land for sale off in one of the corners of the map that form Chris Sawyer's initials.

Has anyone tried the mobile version of rct1/2? It looks nice and it would be cool to play rct at work, but I'm concerned the screen size would make things difficult

>>3930196
Oh shit I never even noticed that

>>3930405
I haven't played it but I've pretty much only heard positive things about it

>>3929171
>>3930154
Who the hell cares if they'll pay for rides or not if you can jack 95% of their wallet up front regardless of whats in your park or if they even do anything in your park

To think I thought there was a challenge to the business aspect of this game for all these years

>>3931356
Because they'll get bitchy about not being able to afford things and leave mad, which kills your park rating and cripples your guest throughput.

>>3931356
Also bear in mind that with cash machines, ride tickets are far better. Otherwise you have to wait for the guest to get bored and leave before someone else can enter and have their wallet raped.

>>3931364
Afford what? The rides are free, you've already taken their money. If they have extra cash they can buy a hat or something. Ever since I tried going Pay per Entry I've been finishing with 950+ ratings and six figure park values.

>>3931370
I'm talking about RCT1, but I'm even skeptical of that, unless you plan on playing for like 10 years and keeping guests around for years. You ever watch one of these retards? Some of them will walk in circles and ride a merry-go-round a few times before getting bored.

>>3928654
Whatever the others say it sounds fishy. The guest's should not pay that much for only one coaster, no matter the shape.

>>3931380
It has been a noted strategy for some of the more difficult pay-per-entry scenarios to soft-close the park, emptying it of guests (selling them shit on the way out, of course), so that a new influx can bring in entry revenue. It may not be relevant on the easier scenarios, but it is a factor.

>>3931384
I was actually just remaking my park for this guy >>3928789
, so here you go

And the crowd goes wild!

>>3931489
It can't be.

>>3931498
Dropped admission to $50, advertised constantly, hired like 20 entertainers. Not a single cumtrain even made it back to station, I was afraid guests were going to get pissed off sitting on it going 1MPH for a year.

There a way to increase the UI size in OpenRCT2?

>>3938756
This is also a thing

Does anybody have any ideas on how to make this a /comfy/ plaza? I'm stumped

>>3914738
I used to play this game so much, has it aged well?

>>3940125
I wish there were picnic tables you could place. I wonder if those could be made by taking benches but making guests face the other way.

>>3940461

It's still the best game in its category, especially with OpenRCT2.

>>3940562
Best you can do is a table object placed on top of the bench tile.

>>3940125
Adding some trees might help.

>>3938756
nice supports

>>3931392
Can you do the rest of the alphabet? thats a very nice "Y" shaped ride

>>3938756
I wanted to do something like this a while back but I couldn't figure out the right launch/lift, howd u do it?

>bring up rollercoaster tycoon
>"oh it's the game where you kill the guests!! xD"

why are people like this

>>3942198
Judging by the long catwalk at the bottom, its a hacked chain lift.

tried to do one of those straight line coasters

Might as well throw my own thing in. Funny how it's much easier to build a good heartline coaster with anything but the actual heartline coaster.

bump

>>3943965
faggot

>>3942198
>>3942252
Yeah, it's just a chain lift on the bottom with a silly speed to launch it. It was the only way I could think of to try and do it.

>>3943974
rude

>>3942198
>>3944016
Actually just updated my OpenRCT to 0.0.7 from the 0.0.3 I was using, you can now make the whole thing a lift hill as it would be.

>>3942227
Because people where immature back when it was released. Don't pretend you did not kill peeps or designed death coasters once.

My favorite way to torture the guests as a kid was to make a small park disconnected from everything and drop a few guests in. The "island" they were on had everything they needed to keep their happiness up, food, rides, etc. Unfortunately, the peeps eventually try to go to something they can't reach. They will walk in circles, "heading for roller coaster 1" until they get pissed off and want leave. But they can never leave. The ride never ends.

heightmap loader was just merged into the dev builds of openrct, great way to get realistic, macro scale landscapes

Mold btfo

So when do you think OpenRCT2 will be able to support the RCT1 surface types?

>>3946262
The aliased contour lines still look strange, though. Seems to work better if you make slopes and break them with flat bits by hand.

>>3945190
It's magnetically held to the track while it goes upside down.

>>3946624

A new save format must be created first.

>>3946624
it'll be a while since they need a new save format for that and nobody wants to start working on it because muh vanilla compatibility

>>3946262
Flat is justice.

What's the trick with the water ride?

>>3948550
Press 5 to remove supports.

>>3950291
Have anyone managed to do this without blowing up the boat? Having it go down a slope, into free roam on the water and then into a station/lift to station. I know I've tried but failed.

>>3950291
>Splash Boats 1 has Splashed!

>>3950368
Besides the boat clipping through the track the whole time this seems to work just fine.

>>3950482
Was probably because I used a log flume station, not a boat station. Nice stuff.

>>3950482
Does this work with a dinghy slide?

Spaghetti, you say?
You DARE challenge my spaghettimancy?

>>3955807
my fucking god that orange/white B&M...

Here's my attempt at an indoor coaster that's a part of my ongoing clusterfuck megapark. Only minor spaghetti here

>>3956591
Looks nice from the outside, but the coaster is fucking shit.

>>3956939
You think so? I kinda thought the opposite. I was thinking the building looked like a monolith, but the coaster was loosely based off of one irl. Are you saying it's shit because of the so-so stats, or something else?

>>3956947
Your coaster is fine, dude. Just ignore people like that.
Remember: this is a fantasy game.

>>3956591

wow, looks amazing.

>>3956947
Building is better than coaster desu, amusement park buildings usually are ugly ass monoliths.

>>3956947
It starts with the most "exciting" elements and is pretty boring afterward. The photo section is even there before the cobra roll. And finally, I'm not a fan of flat launch tracks.

>I was thinking the building looked like a monolith
I should clarify that I like the colors and how you did the facades. The architecture is rather utilitarian to fit the coaster somehow.

>the coaster was loosely based off of one irl
Which one? What park?

>>3918674
Flawless.

>>3957003
>Which one? What park?
Flight of Fear at King's island. It starts of with a big cobra roll and a couple inversions and then it calms down in the middle ending with a couple corkscrews at the end.
This initially had more inversions at the end, but the intensity was getting too high and the Gs were getting silly, especially after fucking around with the launch track at the beginning. At one point I just wanted to finish it and get to moving on with scenery.

>I should clarify that I like the colors and how you did the facades. The architecture is rather utilitarian to fit the coaster somehow.
Thanks. I'm an architect irl and I picked up rct again when OpenRCT2 came out and always wanted to see if I had the patience to do some the shit I saw from NE Designs. The interface is taking a while for me to get used to, but the limitations of 2d isometric style sprites are strangely comforting.

>>3957003
>I'm not a fan of flat launch tracks
Plebeian detected.

>>3956591
it looks like you tried to make a premier spaghetti bowl (the LIM coaster) but gave up halfway through and changed the track type to B&M. It kinda goes to shit after the 3rd half cork, too many big turns and not enough spaghetti

>>3957415
Track type always was B&M from the get-go and therefor I spent most of my time working out the kinks in the launch section. You're right in that I gave up in the middle part, I just wanted to be done with this one and move on to other experiments. Was my mistake thinking that B&M would be the track choice because of it's ease-of-use and flexibility? I don't remember the 'LIM' track type to have the kind of inversions I was going for, but I am almost positive I'm looking in the wrong places.

I may just copy the scenery footprint, go into the track editor, change up the whole thing, and drop it back in the park sometime later.

>>3957415>>3957076

the architecture is a great start btw, I can definitely see the urban, imposing look. Like brutalism but with a fuckload of glass (beach house is great stuff too). The scale on that ride seems kinda massive, but that's because all your other stuff is small in comparison. Best advice I can give is to utilise the outer layer of your building to add details

http://www.nedesigns.com/park/3475/map/3124/wasteland/

http://www.nedesigns.com/screenshot/829/bauland/

http://www.nedesigns.com/park/580/map/37/lenox-mall/

and here's an example spaghetti bowl, they are kinda rare

http://www.nedesigns.com/park/2861/map/2515/tussauds-magical-kingdom/

great start though, keep it up anon! ^_^

>>3957456
Thanks, dude. I fucking cracked up at the Bauhaus design and the tired peeps wandering around in the wasteland.

I was in a quandary as to either reduce the scale of the coaster or add detail to the exterior. While I had gotten somewhat comfortable with spending a bit of time on scenery, my instincts told me I should just buckle down and fix the damn ride to be smaller.

Anytime I make a building in RCT more than say, 7-8 stories, It just makes me feel a bit weird, like I'm making some kind of International-style architecture statement. I just fucking love curtain windows, though. Living in Manhattan has changed me.

>>3956591

Very very nice.

>>3957456
>spaghetti bowl
How is that spaghetti?

What are /vr/ct's least favorite prebuilt rides?

>>3959860
What were they thinking when they made this anyways?

>>3959886
That their guest AI would use the Transport rides as they were intended to be used.

>>3959860
>>3959886
>>3959905
What's wrong?

>>3959860
I wish someone would make a map where elevators are actually useful.
Like, the fucking Grand Canyon but you can't mess with the terrain so you can build elevators back and forth for the lazy fags that don't want to ride the stars.

>>3917278
Yukendoit? Is that you?

>>3959910
I get guests who ride the elevator to the top but do not want to ride back down because the ride is not entertaining enough. They only ride when it rains. Some of the peeps get trapped until they eventually demand to leave the park. Kills the park rating.

>>3960146
>get trapped until they eventually demand to leave the park. Kills the park rating.
I've noticed the "best" park makers from NEDESIGNS don't have any guests.

You can build the perfect park and it still happens. What I do is every 10 years I kick everyone out of the park.

>>3961167

They don't have any guests because they make non-functional parks.

>>3959964
I edited the object selection for Thunder Rocks to allow elevators, along with some extra scenery. Only used one elevator near the entrance though.

Posted two screens in the last thread.

>>3961191
Parks for the sake of aesthetics will never be impressive to me.
It's not like it's hard to create a self-sustaining park.

>>3959905
Is there even any code in the game for guests to consider them TRANSPORT rides instead of transport RIDES?

>>3961641
Nope. Requires a rewrite of pathing code in OpenRCT2 which is going to depend on a fair amount of other shit.

>>3948459

>>3940125
>Does anybody have any ideas on how to make this a /comfy/ plaza? I'm stumped

I'd add water. Turn the edge of grass into sand. The finish with some bulrushes, lily pads & tall grass.

>>3940125
Stone paths, hedges, a chill ride like a merry-go-round, something in the middle like a fountain or small log roof.

Idea: 2x2 collab park, themed after playing card suits.
Yay or nay?

>>3966054
Just start it and advertise in the thread. Worst case scenario it's done in 1,5 years.

Any of you ever try working this element into your coasters?

>>3967083
Would be cool for a dueling coaster.

>>3967083
Yeah, and I failed. Resulted in to much spaghetti for my taste no matter how I build it.

>>3967083
There were something like three takes when I first posted that. Figured it was forgotten.

>>3966054
How good do you have to be to take part in one of these?
I've always watched you fags doing it but never thought I could make it through.

>>3967736
Just do it.

>>3967190
this is really cool anon
did you do this for the entire park or is this a section?
post more!

>>3967083
I took another shot.

>>3967736
Just do it. It'll turn out fine, promise. Maybe steal a peek at other collabs/parks.
I made two squares in the past and I am very proud of them. They aren't the best squares I've seen, but they're mine and that makes them special.

I just got back into rct 1 after growing up with it years ago. I remember finding a mouse coaster layout that could fit a 4x4 space. Does anyone have a screanshot of it?

PSA: As of version 0.0.7, OpenRCT2 can directly load RCT1 files, meaning recreation parks are obsolete. You can set the path to your RCT1 installation in-game under the miscellaneous (wrench) tab in the options.

>>3971762

>>3971762
I just got into OpenRCT2 literally just now, and someone told me I need to find the "OpenRCT2 Community Pack" to get all the data that's missing from the base games, but the download's down. Anyone know where I can find that?

Seriously though your work is still very much appreciated.

>>3972297
Bringing over the land options would require editing the entire save file format, which purists are very hesitant to do because they want to keep save compatibility between OpenRCT2 and RCT2

>>3972013
it loads up the park but openrct still doesn't have all the wall and path types seen in rct1 (and won't have them until the new save format), so your work in parks that have buildings/castles etc in which you had to make it out of scenery objects is still superior than a direct import

What is your favorite RCT flatride to ride in real life? Personally I love the top spin, unfortunately no park close to me have it anymore.

>>3973362
Enterprise. It's the same free-flying feeling as chairswings, except vertical. Feels like you're flying around dogfighting in your comfy little spaceship.

>>3972437
Why do they care so much? Who exactly is exchanging saves between ORCT2 and RCT2 this much?

>>3967818
Sorry for the really late reply. That's just one section of the park that I spent a lot of time in, because I was really inspired from one of the parks in the main menu sequence in OpenRCT. It's a decently-sized area and it's hard to fit in one pic, due to there being a lot of perspectives.

Here's the save if you, for some reason, want to see more of this stupid unfinished clusterfuck of a park: https://www.mediafire.com/?0hb47z50td47y8z

Probably the Twist/Scrambled Eggs, thanks to some fun memories of riding one at Ocean City.

>>3973403
your layouts are pretty crap from a realism standpoint true, and your landscaping is pretty lazy desu, but you have a lot of talent with scenery, those buildings are really nice stuff. I actually really liked that woody but it just needed less sharp small turns. You have a lot of talent and promise though, how long have you been playing this game for?

pic related is some quick tips for nice uses for some scenery objects btw, some of these require the tile inspector or zero clearance cheat to work

Do guests only sit when they're eating? I noticed they'll only sit near food/drink stalls

>>3974756
They also sit when they're tired.

>>3974358
>from a realism standpoint
That's probably due to me never approaching my builds from that standpoint. If I want realism, I'd play Planet Coaster.

>how long have you been playing this game for
I grew up with it, but it wasn't until like a year ago when I started dumping a fuckton of time into the game.

Also thanks for the building ideas. I have no clue how to work the tile inspector though.

Those things that spin really fast and pin you to the wall are really fun though. Can't remember what they're called

>>3975229
Rotor or Gravitron. Gravitron seems to be a lot more common.

>>3975269
I've always wondered; The operator spin with the ride, right? How doesn't the operator get dizzy as fuck?

>>3915002
I have been laughing for ten minutes.

>>3975318
He's in the center of the rotation, so there's very little force. Also, lets say if you spin in your computer chair, you'll get dizzy because you'll see the horizon spinning. The Gravitron operator doesn't see any outside movement, so there's no visual disturbance.

>>3975327
>Also, lets say if you spin in your computer chair, you'll get dizzy because you'll see the horizon spinning. The Gravitron operator doesn't see any outside movement, so there's no visual disturbance.

What does the game want from me?

What attracts guests? I hear conflicting reports on marketing or just building a ton of thrill rides. Does building more than one swinging inverted ship lower their value and novelty in the park?

>>3978264

Start with the original RCT1 scenarios

>>3978278
So not using Open RTC2?
Or actually play RTC1?

I don't see them listed in the scenario choices for new game. Crazy castle looks like the first beginner mission.

>>3978281
>>3971762

>PSA: As of version 0.0.7, OpenRCT2 can directly load RCT1 files, meaning recreation parks are obsolete. You can set the path to your RCT1 installation in-game under the miscellaneous (wrench) tab in the options.

After that restart the game and you're set.

>>3978281
ACTUALLY PLAY RCT1 YOU MONG. THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION.

>>3978264
>crazy castle
1: Delete the paths on the walls to avoid guests getting lost
2: Place toilets, information, food and drinks
3: Build a couple of flat rides and a roller coaster
4: Hire 1-2 handymen and a mechanic
5: Repeat from step 3
Marketing should be done during the last year if needed. Don't build XBOX HUEG roller coasters, keep them reasonable.

>>3978264

>>3978319
Did all that except deleting the paths which was going to be on my next try. I had a lot more handymen than needed and lost a lot of capital to that I guess, didn't know you could set a patrol path.

Does marketing have any long term effects over time on guest turn out rate? or just short term gains only?

>>3979183
Yeah, limiting the size of your park not only prevents peeps from getting lost (which will lower park rating) but it also makes staff wages cheaper and peeps will spend money faster.

>all them shops
Shops don't make much money, hardly increase guest count at all, every "area" only need 2-4 different kind of food shops, a toilet and an info kiosk. But if you can afford it, it sure looks nice.

>marketing
Guest count will reset once the campaign ends, which will result in fewer peeps spawning. However the ones already attracted and in the park will stay.

So what does /vr/ct think of the ten-year long "super park" Slowtaku reported on?

A lot of times they die at the park. I've read in a book written by an insider that large casinos as well as theme parks usually have a deal worked out with local hospitals where corpses aren't officially "declared dead" until they leave the park. For PR local papers can't write that someone died at the park or in a casino.

>>3984596
Even if the person is quite obviously dead, removing the body in an ambulance will look better to those who witnessed the event than waiting for a coroner to arrive.

>>3983272
oldie but a goodie

>>3984596

Well, seeing as a person needs to be examined by two independent doctors to be verified 'dead', then it stands to reason most deaths are finalised in hospitals.

>>3985902
Under our state protocol, if you have no breathing or pulse when we show up at a car crash, you are dead.

RCT2 is all you need. Download Open RCT2 as well, and import Crappage's RCT1 map recreations.

Generally RCT2 is the same game with a shitload of polish, more attractions, and some slice-of-life additions, so the only thing you're missing by skipping RCT1 is the original scenarios, which Crappage's maps amend.

RCT2 is RCT1 with bugfixes. Double-wide paths, for example, don't send people walking in an endless circle anymore, so you can build your paths wide to reduce crowds.

Currently OpenRCT will load RCT1 scenarios with everything intact except for the land tile and wall colors. My recreations have scenery walls and stuff to simulate RCT1's landscapes as much as possible. Once OpenRCT ports over those land colors, then yes, my recreations will be completely obsolete.

>>4000583
I don't remember which I used, but one of them is loaded with extra rides which kinda breaks the tech tree.

>>4001854
You probably have some of the shitty ones by dakinle and RCTScenarioLover mixed in. Mine only have a couple extras depending on the scenario theme. I've detailed all that in the readme file.

>>3997292
>>4000698
>>3996883
The games are quite similar but there are differences. The most noticeable differences between the games is how rides work.

Stuff like:
Power launched doesn't pass station in RCT so some ride designs from RCT2 are impossible(I think) in RCT. Likewise because the powered launch behavior was changed some ride designs from RCT are impossible in vanilla RCT2 without modifications or changing the ride type. RCT2 also introduced block brakes which makes some rides like the wild mouse more efficient and improves ride safety.

Is it possible to beat the scenarios (the ones that don't require a minimum excitement rating without any rollercoasters or custom rides; just the tiny rides (Carousel,Haunted House, Lauched Free fall, Dodgems)?

>>4008304
I think with enough motion simulators you can win most scenarios that do not specifically require rollercoasters. Motion simulators are ridiculously overpowered and you can demolish and rebuild every year to keep them earning you money. It becomes completely ridiculous to maintain that once you get too many of them though

>>4012071
>>4012394
This is true. It was patched out almost immediately.

With a quick google search found Underflow available for download online. In Open RCT2 the rating is 0.8 in RCT2 the rating is 655.

Also both expansions installed: Time Twister & Wacky Worlds was able to make one using bengal tiger cars and it worked just fine.

Nah, it's fine. And there's really nothing wrong with the coasters, but the gokart track is the best part of the square.

Can we all agree TTD > any RCT?

>>4014038

I'm pretty sure it's 90cm; at least that was the figure I used last time I was modelling Intamin trains and it seems to agree closely with the other figures I had.

I had previously believed it was 75cm like the other commenter said, but I couldn't make anything line up correctly with that track gauge so I'm not sure that's correct.

Are there any good resources for how to design a coaster? I looked at the rctstationarchive link and while there seems to be a lot of useful information on how to make them pretty and exciting I can't see anything with advice on how to actually make one. I kind of know how to build a wood coaster, lots of dips and banked curves, but I have no idea what I should be doing with everything else. Should I just be looking at RL coasters and ones that other people have made and copy bits from those?

So when you guys build these cool stations and have these great aesthetics in your park, are you playing scenarios with money off or are you spending money doing it?

I can't for the life of me build comfy parks or cool stations or anything like that, and I imagine it's even harder when money is in limited supply.

>>4027283
Personally I stopped playing the objectives years ago. I only build mega parks from scratch with the money off and no objective. Really helps me practice building scenery/coasters when I don't have this huge cloud looming over me

Any dutch or well traveled Europeans ITT? I'll visit Netherlands sometime quite soon and will probably only have time to visit one amusement park. I'm split between Efteling and Walibi, Efteling with the superiour theming and Walibi with the best coasters. Any input?

>>4032984b
Walibi, hands down. Better coasters make for a better time, and the other rides are pretty gud too.
Not only that, but the Efteling will be twice as crammed with people at any moment with a million times more kids shitting everything up.

If you go to Walibi and you care for woodies, my advice is to go as early as possible and fucking LEG IT to Robin Hood, the wooden coaster in the back. For some reason, it gets lines even longer than Goliath, even though the latter is superior.

Not him, but I think it would look better if you had a tower at each corner, like this.

>>4040110
Bring those walls inward so that they surround the coaster a bit closer. The forest inside of the walls just looks tacky. It is okay to put some trees between the rollercoaster tracks, especially in those helix sections. That's my advice.

>>4020740

>>4040295
It's beautiful.

Bring the walls in close to the coaster. A real park would not waste all that space on nothing and going close to walls would be more exciting for the riders.
