Custom Roller Coaster Tycoon Coaster

January 16th, 2009

I’m not very creative when it comes to building custom designs for roller coasters. Usually when I attempt it, I go overboard and no guest will go on it because it “looks too intense for [them].” But this one…

…actually turned out pretty good and the guests will continually go on it. However, it’s not that creative or inventive. I call it “Cyclone.” It’s set on Powered Launch Mode (45 MPH launch speed). It’s made up of three small upward helixes. The design of this is pretty much a rip-off of the pre-made design “Shuttle Loop.” It’s the only custom coaster so far that I’ve actually added to the official list of Steel Roller Coaster designs.

Roller Coaster Tycoon Park # 7

October 14th, 2008

What’s this? It’s my very first Roller Coaster Tycoon Park: “BIG ABE’S SUPER COOL FUN LAND!”

I remember that in my early parks I had several habits:
– 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… I had one park where all the rides were named after Presidents: Thomas Jefferson’s Ferris Wheel-o-Fun, James Buchanan’s Crazy Coaster).
- Using too many adjectives in the park name: Big, Super, Cool, Fun, Awesome, Terrific, Far-Out.
- Naming all the rides with variants of the park’s name. For instance this park has a ride called, “LIL’ ABE’S FUN SLIDE.”
- Using CAPITAL LETTERS FOR EVERYTHING and too many exclamation marks!!!!!!!
- Having a sort of pit in the park. Notice where the maze is in this park. Many of my early parks have that.

I’ve come a long way.

Roller Coaster Tycoon Park # 6

September 14th, 2008

Presenting… “The Island”:

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 islands) would be connected by Chairlifts (which I had to change because I found out that the people didn’t want to pay a dime to travel from an island with nothing but a chairlift to an island with every possible ride).
All that explains why the park is called “The Island” instead of something like “The Islands.”
