One of my favorite original scenario maps without rides was Leafy Lake. Ample space to build and a beautiful lake setting allows for the ability to make rides well integrated into the landscape. Let's build some larger coasters along with a pleasant collection of rides around the lake.
Let's keep in touch! There's a lots of ways to connect with my RCT and Coaster related content. We'd love to have you as part of our little community!

I've been really appreciating your Steel Mini Roller Coaster designs. It's a ride type I could never do great designs with, but watching your process has helped me with my own designs.

Thank you! Since it's usually one of the starting options and relatively cheap, I find it a good way to begin. Although the track style is definitely modeled after the Zierer Tivoli line in real life, I find myself usually envisioning these rides as Vekoma junior coasters, which expands a bit on what you can do with the layouts from a realistic sense.

I have been awaiting with bated breath! These are a tonic for the soul, my friend. Thank you!

Junior Boomer is an inspired choice for this map. The car ride interaction is classy!

Seems like the right way to go with long narrow strips of land. Never thought about that back in the day, but seems like the right call now!

I think you forgot to cover up the facecam recording with the park objectives lol

@AmusementAcademy Ай бұрын

Lol yeah I sure did. And tbh I don't know what happened there. I guess it just didn't export properly. Oops!

Great video as always!

@AmusementAcademy Ай бұрын

Thanks! Looks like the scenario goal didn't export over my face so you just get to watch me flail around, but oh well!

Comet at Hershey was my first big coaster and that same day I rode my first looping coaster after marathoning comet at the age of 6 in 2004, the looping coaster was super dooper looper.

@AmusementAcademy Ай бұрын

I chickened out on SDL for years as a kid haha. Comet was all you could get me on till I eventually managed Trailblazer and Looper. Funny to think how many I've done now compared to how much I was scared back then!

@@AmusementAcademy comet had no wait so I just marathoned it at the age of six, I also rode trailblazer, the old wildcat (Gci) and laff track as well and then for my photo for looper I looked like I was in a war zone ducking.

How come you start coaster stations one step above ground level? Also, do you not like to use the wooden buttress brace scenery structures to support the turns on the wooden coaster?

@AmusementAcademy Ай бұрын

From a realistic standpoint, coasters aren't built right on the ground. There's a footer, a base plate, and some kind of column or track connection under the track. These could often be smaller than the 1 height in the game, but I like to err on the side of keeping the track raised up as I think it tends to look better anyway. So because of that I don't let me stations or any part of the ride touch the ground or water. There's notable exceptions where you can still do this realistically like with wooden coasters, but for the general purposes of 'realism', I tend to go minimum 1 off the ground.

Does landscaping actually affect your park rating and customer happiness, or is it just for visuals? I never bothered with it playing RTC as a kid.

@AmusementAcademy Ай бұрын

It doesn't do much as far as I'm aware. Marcel Vos would have a better answer I'm sure, but I just do it for the presentation. If you're trying purely to beat the objectives, than I think you can typically skip it.

Is there a big difference in park layout's you noticed between american and european parks? Asking this because a lot of the rct scenario's are based with european landscapes in mind

@AmusementAcademy Ай бұрын

In general parks in Europe tend to have more pathways I've found. Lots of connections among all the different areas. North America seems to have less of that and is more focused on larger loops with plazas and rides along that. European parks also tend to be a bit more natural park-like as you point out. More open grass areas and gardens and things since a lot of these places are opened up for picnics and things like that rather than a gated no food allowed policy like in a lot of the US places. There's definitely a European influence to the scenarios, which I'd completely expect with the creator being from the UK.

@QDude24 Ай бұрын

@AmusementAcademy that is true, some European countries even have a ban on not allowing you to bring your own food (I think Italy is one of them)

@Happymali10 Ай бұрын

Honestly if anything you'd probably gain viewers if you'd replay the streams on YT at normal speed.

@AmusementAcademy Ай бұрын

This is true although than I've gotta record audio over all of that and I'm not sure I want to get myself into that amount of prep work. The stream audio isn't really suitable for YT since it's a lot of conversation with chat and stuff. But hopefully people will like the timelapses and come watch the realtime on Twitch or catch the VOD afterwards.
