<p><a href="http://jacob.efinke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/cyclone.jpg"><img src="http://jacob.efinke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/cyclone.jpg" alt="" title="Cyclone" width="500" height="270" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-472" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;actually turned out pretty good and the guests will continually go on it. However, it&#8217;s not that creative or inventive. I call it &#8220;Cyclone.&#8221; It&#8217;s set on Powered Launch Mode (45 MPH launch speed). It&#8217;s made up of three small upward helixes. The design of this is pretty much a rip-off of the pre-made design &#8220;Shuttle Loop.&#8221; It&#8217;s the only custom coaster so far that I&#8217;ve actually added to the official list of Steel Roller Coaster designs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s this? It&#8217;s my very first Roller Coaster Tycoon Park: &#8220;BIG ABE&#8217;S SUPER COOL FUN LAND!&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://jacob.efinke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/rct8.jpg"><img src="http://jacob.efinke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/rct8.jpg" alt="" title="BIG ABE&#039;S SUPER COOL FUN LAND" width="499" height="226" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-475" /></a></p>
<p>I remember that in my early parks I had several habits:<br />
 &#8211; Naming the park after someone with a short name so that it would fit in the banner scroll (i. e. Abe, Bob, Bill, Al, Don, Pat&#8230; I had one park where all the rides were named after Presidents: Thomas Jefferson&#8217;s Ferris Wheel-o-Fun, James Buchanan&#8217;s Crazy Coaster).<br />
- Using too many adjectives in the park name: Big, Super, Cool, Fun, Awesome, Terrific, Far-Out.<br />
- Naming all the rides with variants of the park&#8217;s name. For instance this park has a ride called, &#8220;LIL&#8217; ABE&#8217;S FUN SLIDE.&#8221;<br />
- Using CAPITAL LETTERS FOR EVERYTHING and too many exclamation marks!!!!!!!<br />
- Having a sort of pit in the park. Notice where the maze is in this park. Many of my early parks have that.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve come a long way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Presenting&#8230; &#8220;The Island&#8221;:</p>
<p><a href="http://jacob.efinke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/rct7.jpg"><img src="http://jacob.efinke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/rct7.jpg" alt="" title="The Island" width="500" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-469" /></a></p>
<p>This park changed the most from what I originally intended, which was something like this: it would be set on Pacific Pyramids (so that stayed the same). It would be made up of one large island, which I later changed to two, and then eventually eleven. The mainland and the island (later island<strong>s</strong>) would be connected by Chairlifts (which I had to change because I found out that the people didn&#8217;t want to pay a dime to travel from an island with nothing but a chairlift to an island with every possible ride).<br />
All that explains why the park is called &#8220;The Island&#8221; instead of something like &#8220;The Islands.&#8221;</p>
