Yup, as I want to crash my radio mast as I've done in every version since I first built it. And of course so RedScope53 can continue.
-
I was out and as a result I couldn't claim it before Cascadia did so. Since I was planning to do once I got here I really got mad at Cascadia. Anyway I didn't break any rules, as you will see in the attached file.
In the meantime lots of things have happened in the park. The satellite dish is now back atop the radio mast. And there are more big news for the park radio station: It got the license to broadcast outside the park, so now you cand find it on 102.0 FM in your radio (if you are close enough to the park). Unfortunately it got the callsign DIPG, which as someone pointed out is also a brain cancer that affects children with a 0% survival rate. So in the end the radio station decided to raise awareness of that child killer.
Meanwhile construction of a new coaster in the vicinity had been underway. The Riverside Express is a reverse-incline launched shuttle wooden coaster, which has never been built before anywhere (AFAIK). In addition, a 9 hole mini golf course has been built around it. Here is the end result, with the park receiving the most confusing layout award again .
With the radio mast I continue my tradition of honoring all the people who have to fight rare diseases. I had initially planned to build a purple coaster to do that, but in the end I decided to mock-up the American radio & TV callsigns by using the initials of a brain cancer (and unfortunately what I wrote is true ). On the bright side, though, the radio now plays actual music, and you are free to change the style anytime. I've also fixed the exit path of the Ferrys wheel, as otherwise the ride wouldn't be fixed.

Claiming now. However I had just got the right to claim the park when Cascadia realized he had missed his turn and stole it, so I'll continue building from version 18.

While the right side section is cleared out of red and caucassian fir trees and the paths are laid out, I pose a question: Anyone has noticed that Mr. B park from the title sequence is actually a reboot of Karts & Coasters? I've compared the landscapes and they are identical.

But that's not fair! He can force me to the missed list as he could hold the park until Thursday night (UTC) and I will be out for the weekend, starting already Friday afternoon.

Nope, I have the right to claim now so I'm doing so. Sorry.

I take the windows suggestion, and I've retrofitted the existing buildings with windows. As for the trees, I just looked at what is placed outside the park and continued into it. In fact there are two types of trees in between the rapids.
Incidentally just after my last post I continued building, adding a Ferris wheel and a second food court at the end of the "main street". I also built some stands selling coaster gifts (T-shirts and hats), added some more scenery to the coaster, and changed the toilets (UK)/restrooms (US) to log cabins.
Next thing I'll do is fill the right side (as seen from the entrance). Normally I build a reverse-incline launched corkscrew coaster at the back along with other stuff, but I may do something different...

So after building a few more things I decided to switch languages and name everything in English. This had the side effect of the twist being repainted, as I had it named after the local (association) football team and since I hate FC Barcelona, which plays with the same colo(u)rs, I changed the twist from maroon and navy back to the colors it came when I built it, red and white, and renamed it Scrambled Eggs (as this was the name the twist was known in RCT1).
So now for the things built this year. We are now starting year 2... and well above the original goal of 250 guests in the first year (It's not rare for me to beat this with 500+ guests. Heck, Evergreen Gardens had 1000 guests at the end of year 4 and I once ended with 2200). Things built so far are the food court, a fresh new custom entrance using the sandbox cheat, and then the first coaster, a looping coaster which didn't turn out great. For a few years now I've honored those who have to fight rare diseases, and almost always this is done with a looping coaster. This one is called the Mitocoaster.
Then, as in OpenRCT2 one can add rides into the avalaible rides list after starting the scenario, I did so to build some rapids. There's no complete park for me without a river rapids and a log flume (yet to be built, it will be located at the back). I'll be back to the object selection several times more due to the poor thrill ride selection the original Forest Frontiers came with, only twist and pirate ship. Also shown in the picture is the new entrance.
BTW, I don't use double wide paths as guests will use one side anyways, so I stick to "narrow" paths. It may look crowded...

If by next Thursday the turn hasn't reached me, I'll be moving to the missed turn list as I'll be out for the weekend.
-
So I may reinstall the satellite dish atop the "radio mast" in my next turn. I had removed it in order to keep Przemek in, and now the anaconda coaster pops up...

And thank me I decided to remove the dish so you could still work on the park.

I'm new here. I'd like to join if it isn't too late to.
Quick note: My aesthetic skills are mediocre at best compared to you guys, so if you feel that something I do could be improved, feel free to do so.
Don't worry, mine aren't that good either.

I've been playing Roller Coaster Tycoon since I was a child, and I've attempted several playthroughs, Millenium Mines being the furthest I've ever reached. Then I downloaded some remakes of these scenarios for RCT2, and I edited them to make some sort of sandboxes (but with the 10 coaster goal, as there was no way to set it to "Have Fun!"), and did several iterations of the first three parks, each one turned out better than the previous one. Now with OpenRCT2 I can now use the original, ripped straight from RCT1 scenarios, and modify them to add RCT2 stuff, make them money-free, and set the goal to "Have Fun!", and so I'm taking a try to do all 21 original scenarios my way, and then maybe the 30 from Added Attractions/Corkscrew Follies. I have never liked Loopy Landscapes.
So first stop, Forest Frontiers.
Forest Frontiers was the first contact we all had with the Roller Coaster Tycoon series, and takes place in a cleared out section of a forest. First thing I did was buying out all the avalaible land before turning cash off and changing goals. I like to start by placing two info kiosks at both sides of the path just after the entrance, and then putting a merry-go-round and a twist in the entrance area.
Yes, I've used the build on pause cheat, so the park wouldn't start without rides. However from now on I'll be building the usual way. Still have to place a restroom/toilet as well as a food court. I always end up placing a looping coaster and then a wooden one in every park I build, but I may try something different.
Notice the game is in Spanish. So I am, and as such everything besides the park itself (which will retain its original English name) will be named in Spanish.

Great progress! I cannot wait for the complete park.

It seems you don't have the expansion packs, as I can open it anyway. As said, the "export plug-in objects with saved games" doesn't work with expansion content. Since I was the one who put in the satellite dish, I'm doing a quick claim to remove it, and I'll try to put something else when I get the turn back.

OK, so the first version is the valid one. @Darthyoda714 if you read this please continue from version 7.08.

Many thanks! I decided to place some sort of base around the dish. So here is it and the new save file.

Seriously, I'm not good when it comes to scenery . Anyway, I deleted the first monorail stub and built a radio mast that also functions as a launched freefall. I've also finished widening the main path across the park.

For a while I thought the Mass Destruction server had been brought to the group park! However that intensity rating is way too low, I've built several killer coasters with an intensity rating of almost 90.

I'm also planning to build a coaster. Just like giraty, I haven't decided where to build it. However I already have a name for it, something I normally struggle to.

@Broxzier I'm in! However I may get busier from now on...

I thought those cliffs, being originally marked as "danger zone" would be off-limits to rides or something.
I already plan to throw in a purple-colored coaster and a observation tower operating under upward launch mode reaching up to the "ceiling". Yes, I tested that one and it doesn't produce an intensity rating of ultra-extreme .

I was about to bite with a scenario proposal. Since the last one had two tram lines across the park, we could have a miniature train going around the park this time. Just my two cents.

Well, there's some empty land around the Greenhouse. But I agree, it's about time to start Group Park 7. I was planning to enter then, anyway.

A new take on RCT1 scenarios
in Build Logs
Posted · Edited by Leudimin
Wow, I cannot believe I managed to fit a corkscrew coaster, a haunted house and a bumper cars in roughly the space of the infamous Micro Park. I've also added karting and mini-golf courses. Now what I've dubbed the front section is complete.
Here is what is behind the trees . The rapids are included.
Now I'm moving to what I call the back section. It will feature a wooden coaster and a log flume. I've been considering building the Deurklink's flagship twister coaster (named Eye of the Tiger in his Great Circle park and Illuminati Confirmed in the Group Park), but I decided not do so due to space limitations and possible copyright claims.
