RCT2 Recreation

[Keith]

I'm going to regret this, because I will most likely not finish it. However, most of Los Festivales is done. I did finish Zargoza Theatre, but I realized it was slightly misplaced, so thus I am redoing that. The same is true with Ben and Jerry's.

The midway, and landscape are not done, but the buildings on the right side of the midway are almost finished. However, I could use your help, especially you Stacy!

I need pictures of the buildings, I am going of some random pictures I've found, and from Windows Live Local Bird's Eye, view. Which, is very helpful, but I cannot get it accurate enough. So please, Stacy, should you have these pictures, that was awesome! And I would appreciate if anyone could help.

Please, feedback while I'm still in Landscape mode.

I forgot the name, and it's not on the map, but the exclusive restaurant:

Also, due to bad planning, the Hill Country Racer will not be in the park, sorry. I accidentally didn't include it when laying out the Entrance. However, the Lone Star Lagoon, is in!

Let me dig through all of my disks and see what I have. The 'old' restaurant was Mi Pueblito. I was just telling my husband Sunday night that I sure wish it was still there. That's really all the park lacks for food variation now... some really good mexican food. Mmmmm...

I'll send you whatever photos I can find, Keith, and any I don't have that you might need I can always take when I'm at the park over the weekend. I'm sure you know by now that I'm out there every weekend... and you can probably guess that I never go without my camera. :D

Your buildings are looking really good!

This is actually really well done. The archy is very nice.

I had a recreation going a couple years back, but I don't think I have it anymore. Definitely not as good as yours.

Anyways, keep it up. I'm interested in seeing the rest.

[Brandon]

Keith, looks great! Keep up the good work. It will be interesting to see how you place some of the rides (such as boomerang) that are at an angle. I have seen it done many different times in many different ways.

It makes me miss RCT2. Sadly, I switched to a Mac and never felt like pouring the money into getting rct2 & 3 again.

[Keith]

Thanks for the comments. I started working on replacing Ben and Jerry's and the theater, since they were misplaced. Here is an update on Ben and Jerry's:

And the revamed entrance, I forgot to add the taracing on the facade:

And an overview of what I have so far. I plan on doing a lot more work on the Lone Star Lagoon, it doesn't please me.

Comments welcome.

WOW! thats amazing i started on a recreation of SFNO i never got to finish it though i buil batman zydeco zep scrambler jester and lots of flats

[Colin]

I like it. Sure it isn't overly detailed, but it still looks good.

The only suggestion I would have is to put some sort of path under your buildings. Just so the grass doesn't show.

[Keith]

Colin,

Is this what you were talking about?

If so, opinion taken. The only problem I see with that is that I want to make the park peep friendly, and by doing that, they would be able to walk through the buildings, rather than around them. However, I will do my best.

I've got more screens coming at you guys tonight. These include the Zargoza Theater, and the Texas State Square. Also, I hope to get the Teatro Fiesta done tonight. I began to layout the track for the train, and the position of the Pilger Bahnhof. This was tricky, because it is on an angle, so I will admit, this section of the park my look a bit strange. The way it is done at the park, is about a 45 degree angle from Texas State Square, I will just make it 90 degrees. Examples later tonight.

And on a lighter note, I really, badly need pictures of the restrooms on the side of Zargoza Theater, by the train bridge, and exit from the theater. Microsoft Live Local can only do so much.

I'd also like to take the time to thank you guys for support. All photos and comments always welcome

Isn't the Lonestar Lagoon facing the wrong way?

[Keith]

Somewhat. I guess it would better suited for the other direction, the panhandle facing to the edge of the map. However, I found this angle better to save space, there seems to be a lot of empty space over there, and for a limited map size, I have to do my best. I'm already fearing I might not have enough room for Tony, which I hope doesn't happen. But I do plan on redoing Lone Star Lagoon sometime soon.

[Stacy]

Keith, I'll be at the park Saturday and will get you photos of that side of Goza. Do you need me to take shots of that entire area, i.e. Los Fest, Texas State Square, the theatre, pathway & pond/stream in front of thoe restrooms, etc.? Send me a list of areas you need more immediately, and I'll get it done Saturday.

[Keith]

I've got most of Los Festivales done. Just that whole side of the Theater I need, there seems to be a lack of photos of that area. Same with over by Boomerang. Those would be great if you could get those for me. The pond, and bridge, and Spassburg enterance, including the Bahnhof.

And if you could just start photographing Spassburg for me.

Finishing Los Festivales and Spassburg should consume the next two weeks of my life. I appreciate very much Stacy.

Edit: I said Rockville, I meant Spassburg. Also, I capitolized my letters, I wrote that on an iPhone at the Apple store. ;) Friday can't come soon enough...

You got it.

I have a few photos of Bahnhof already, but I'll send everything at the same time.

[Keith]

I think Brandon sent me some of Bahnhof already, but only the building entrance. I would love to get some of the pathways leading up to it, and of the building itself.

the word Bahnhof, it brings back so many memories...

Thank you Stacy,
- Keith

Well this is a little something I did in my spare time,tell me what you think.
I dont have no limits yet so I did it in RCTWild.
T'm working on the exact SFFT on RCTWild (the rattler is the hardest ride in the whole park).
Sorry because they are big!

Nice job mrrollercoasterman your rct version looks very good

[mrrollercoasterman]

Thanks!:):p;):D:rolleyes::cool::eek:

[Stacy]

Looks pretty good!

Now, sorry to be overly 'persnickety' about the park, but you do realize that some of the ride orientations are a bit "off", correct? For example, the ferris wheel should be rotated 90 degrees, and THBS should be on the other side of the ferris wheel....

I've never used RCT or any such program, so I can only imagine how difficult it is to place the rides in their 'exact' spots and in correct orientation; however........

:rolleyes:

[mrrollercoasterman]

Well i thought about that and I looked on the msn map/sattilite and it diagonal.:)
