In real parks, like Disneyland Park (CA), the staff (or "Cast Members") wear themed uniforms to that area. (Some disney parks have their staff utilitys below the park itself, with access points hidden through out each land)

The staff indivisual scheme thing was in RCT3, so having it in 2 could really help with the theme park concept. As it is, the staff names are all we can do atm, but it will help with sorting staff.

Park Authorities still baffled about it's sheer existence in the park

I'd like to imagine the entire line read "Park authorities still baffled about it's sheer existence in the Universe"  I mean then again, what would mere Park Authorities know about the existence of unknown entities in the universe? That's the job of theoretical physicists...

But how do we know if theoretical physicists are real if they're theoretical?

Ah.

Also, I already have a preexisting template from another project I can use to continue the park news thing on my turn.

The game crashed when using the tile inspector today, so I had to debug that first. Due to exams I won't be able to finish it in 48 hours, so here's the current version. I've put myself in the queue again and will finish my masterpiece in my next turn, alongside with that turn. The most noticable changes are a new, undecorated ride (Monster Jam), and a changed monorail. I already have plans for decorations.

I'm here to please.  

[imlegos]

@cascadia 7 hours remain

[ziscor]

@imlegos cascadia has claimed the park already. Still has about 31 hours before going above the limit.

[imlegos]

I got the time for claiming and working wrong...

From here and everywhere, this is CNN.

Welcome to World Business Today on CNN, I'm Maggie Lake.  The headlines this hour:

Activists in South India have organized massive rallies to protest the Modi government's plans to massively expand the use of coal power plants to provide more electricity to millions of poorer Indians.  They say that the toll of the extra carbon emissions is too high and advocate the expansion of nuclear power and other renewables instead.

Kentucky and Oregon go to the polls today to vote in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries for their respective states.  Polls and modeling show Hillary Clinton with a slight lead over Bernie Sanders in both states, but it could still go either way.

OPEC is meeting again to attempt to reduce the supply of oil to produce more favorable prices to its members, but the outlook is not positive for any agreement on reducing supply.  Low oil prices in the last year have lead to economic challenges for many major oil producing countries around the world.

Hollywood producer Taylor Gledhill has been arrested for the alleged murder of dozens of people using helicopters with suspended pinchers below to pick up and drown people (including several amusement park guests) in various bodies of water.  He is expected to appear in court within the next few hours.*

These are the headlines.  You're watching World Business Today on CNN, the world's news leader. 

Our first business story this hour is from the world of theme parks.  We go over to Jason Carroll.

Jason Carroll: The management of Sherbywood Park, a major theme park owned by coffee giant Starbucks*, after several incidents with poorly supervised staff, have decided to move their offices directly into the park to more easily directly oversee and manage the park.  The new building will house executive offices and a new complaints department, along with guest services and other departments.

Spokesman Verne Troyer* (rather short): We decided to do this as a way of being more connected with our guests and employees.  Being right there allows us to observe and take action to fix any problems immediately.

Various employees, however, have a more pessimistic outlook.

Anonymous employee with face blacked out and voice disguised: Come on, you expect us to believe that?  It was their micromanagement on where we could go to fulfill our duties that led to problems in the first place.  Plus, you know they're more concerned with their stock price- it's even on a scrolling banner on the park HQ to remind us to help keep up the price!

However, a few employees have a more positive view on things:

Douglas Powers (Park Entertainer): I mean, I don't secretly control the park or anything, but I think these changes are for the best since they can observe and take action to fix any problems immediately.*

Park guests seem not to care:

Katie Brayshaw: I'm more excited about the new animal show with sea lions they have right next to the park HQ!  <waves at another guest>  These sea lions are so cute!  I also heard rumors about reverse freefall rides themed as missile silos.  The pictures I've seen make them look so realistic!*

No matter what, it looks like guests will keep coming here.  From Sherbywood Park, I'm Jason Carroll.

Maggie Lake: We now go live to Dakar, Senegal, for the opening of the first home furnishings factory to export to the U.S from Senegal.  As costs rise in China, stable African countries as well as Southeast Asia have been...

===

Sorry about the long IC news write-up- got a little carried away there.

Major changes:

• Built an office building for the park's headquarters.  It contains an employee cafeteria also open to guests that serves fried rice noodles and soy milk, restrooms, Sherbywood Park Guest Services (AKA an info booth), and two rides: Complaints Department, a maze, and Executive Offices, an indoor mini golf course.
• Next door is Sealions! The Show, a circus show featuring trained sealions.  There's also a building to house the sealions and a large pool for them.
• Renewed all rides and cleaned up any litter and vandalism, because, why not?
• Extended the river- would really like some help on my work, since I suck at this. 

Minor changes:

• Added a bunch of benches and trash bins around the new area to accommodate any overflow of guests in the cafeteria.  I may have overdone it; feel free to reduce it if not needed.
• There are a bunch of funny easter eggs in the new area.  Can you spot them all?  Spoilers below:
• [spoilers]Two people arguing very loudly in the offices, empty desks and the employees who are supposed to be working there sunbathing on the office deck, two people blocking a hallway while holding a conversation, and sealions attacking a guest who paid to meet them while nearby people are oblivious to the guest's plight.[/spoilers]
• Added some more pool scenery to Piscine Molitor, if @ziscor doesn't mind.
• Fixed a pathing issue next to Cruise by adding a No Entry sign to the path out of Cruise's exit- for some reason, guests were trying to use that path to get elsewhere, even through it's only one square.

Issues:

Guests are having trouble finding Cruise.  I don't want to mess with the paths and scenery in that area, so I will leave it to other people more skilled then me to do so.

Oh, dear. You spent QUITE some time making that post! As much as I like it, I think this warrants it's own topic rather than being in the Group Park. At least I hope this doesn't become a regular thing here.  A place like Park Log would be perfect for this style of news update format.

I don't mind the Pool Scenery at all. Thank you, in fact! I didn't have as much Pool scenery. All I had was random stuff I picked up from Multiplayer.

Love it how the Complaints Department is just a complex maze that brings them to the exit door of the HQ.  "Thank you for your complaints sir, now you can get out."

Overall great turn, mate! HQ looks quite detailed.

Side note: SherbyWood is what the Present Day Group Park 3 was called back in Medieval Times. Not anymore. (But then again, we could make up stuff as we move on)

Thanks for the reputation! 

 

This is a one-time thing- I won't spend as much time on posts as this time- just felt like it this time.

 

You're welcome!  I think I picked it up either from the Community Content pack on Ginever ( https://www.ginever.net/downloads/file/17-rollercoaster-tycoon-2-community-content-pack-for-use-with-openrct2/ ) or from some map I downloaded (probably Pirate Bay- http://www.nedesigns.com/park/1330/pirate-bay/ )

 

That's what I was hoping for.  It's also meant to evoke a maze of cubicles.

 

Trying to work on detail, so thanks! 

 

Ah.  I was going off what previous posters had said.

Someone should do a news report thing based on the original group park. (The only one that was actually finished completely)

[Wuis]

Not claiming it yet(It's getting night  ) but I am getting cool vibes about these killer bees, like the frozen vegetables series I had started. This is were my speciality lays, silly names and stories!  

Going to think about something when I am at school and if thought of something I will be building so.

EDIT: 

You got to watch the park file itself or page 8 of this topic to find out how it originally looked but i think we would be much better of if the Splinter didn't go over the path, it would also possibly lay open a possibility for the monorail to go past the splinter instead of right through of it. So I'd like to ask @Philmon11 if I can edit the exit to entrance part of the coaster where nobody rides the coaster itself.

Edited May 17, 2016 by Wuis

[Philmon11]

Wuis, are you talking about how splinter goes over it's queue line?

 

Edit: Oh! I know what your talking about, the part where nobody rides the coaster itself (Unload to load) you can change. But keep the same number of blocks in some way in that part.

Just noticed a pathing issue right by the park HQ, so doing a quick temporary path to fix this:

Done

And now, live from... oh screw it. Nope. Nope Noooooppeeee.... not doing a news thing. It's fine if you people want to, but not me!

 

Added:

-Fixed the splinter and monorail issue by splinter, the monorail only goes down one now, to give it the needed room. (It still goes through splinter though, which is cool and I like it. (Oh, forgot to re-open splinter, so can someone do that?)

-New coaster! Presenting, from Phil's coaster development, Kiddie Koaster! This replaced the Kiddie Express train ride in kiddie kingdom, but this coaster is brave enough to venture outside the Kiddie Kingdom's doors... what could be found outside of the safety of the Kingdom Borders?

 

-Saved the park

Browsing around the park, I found <warning, spoilers up ahead>

 

 

 

that Broxzier, Wuis, and someone else had put up eastern egg signs high up in a corner of the park.
