Bookworm, it was such an honor and a sheer delight to be able to help you record this show. I've had the unique privelege of being able to see The Siren from several different angles - ya'll cannot comprehend the depth of this set and the choreography! If the EV award still existed, I'm sure you'd have another winner on your hands. And while I appreciate the kudos from fellow viewers, all the praise belongs to Bookworm! It's his mastery of color and composition that really drives this show home. You could know nothing about the story and still be absolutely enthralled by the fireworks, fountains and lasers. I sincerely hope this production garners the attention it rightfully deserves. You don't have to like fireworks, theme park sims or Disney music to appreciate The Siren. It's just that good.

Holy Smokes! You’re whipping these out (or at least finishing old projects) at a crazy pace. Love to see fresh content like this in 2024! It’s a fantastic looking CTR. I wish I was a more experienced coaster builder.

Disappointed the channel name isn't TitanicFilmFan1407.... 😉 This is stupidly cool, Wilhelm! Clearly a lot of other folks share in your passion and craft as that video you posted has 300k+ views! I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the original edit to further appreciate your efforts.

If it's a number I don't recognize and they won't leave a voicemail....then no.

I LOVE these mini series! Crazy that even an ancient theme park sim like RCT3 has a wider variety of vanilla Fantasy and Western themed scenery.

I'm sorry to hear about the circumstances around your temporary departure from PlanCo. However, we don't have enough RCT3 builders anymore, so I'm delighted to hear you're going to be playing that again! What do you think your first project in the game will be?

Zorbing! Never done this myself, but it's on the bucket list. If you'd like to upload your files to the downloads section here on ParkCrafters, feel free! I have some custom scenery ideas I'd like to float your way pretty soon....

Well hey howdy hey! How’s that 1930s art deco movement going? Has the Dust Bowl affected you at all? It’s great to see another new member join the ParkCrafters community! Welcome 🤩 Please share some of your past work when you have some time. We love to see what our community has worked on!

Woo! I love seeing a new pyro show hit the forums! That was beautiful, Anon. Fountains have made such an impact in shows as of late. It felt like you were careful not to flood the sky too much with aerial effects so that the fountains could stand out on their own. Nicely done!

Sharp eyes, JB! Yes, in a fit of inspiration (or carbon copying) from Sinjon's forthcoming Worlds spectacular, I placed a spherical emitter WAYY above the set to shoot lasers downwards. I was going to try to a dismal create cloud cover with a bunch of fog effects from one of Ilyxr's packs and then have lots of laser beams shoot down through them. 2024 is the year of Holiday-themed shows! I also missed out on my chance to do Bite O' Snow in time for Christmas. Oh well. As mentioned above, you directly inspired the "heavenly" laser emitter 😄 Thanks for chiming in, Sino! Miss your rare previews of Worlds over on Discord. ------------ With the CSDepot move complete, I can finally get back to focusing on the fun that is these fireworks displays! Since Bite O' Spook failed and Bite O' Doom has fallen off my radar, I wanted to recommit myself to new shows. So to keep the ball rolling, I'm introducing: It ought to be the first western-themed pyro to hit the RCT3 community. Stay tuned!

Holy macaroni, the NOSTALGIA of that attraction!! Was always one of my favorites at USH - I love how you included every filmed asset from the original ride. The buildling looks well-recreated with your own little flair here and there, too!

YESSSS!!!!!! VERY excited for BttF!!

I learned SO MUCH about RCT3 custom content in helping move these files over. Some packs seemed so random that it hardly seemed like anyone would find a use for the items within (looking at you, Windows XP logo...). But if you look at the CSDepot page for those files, you'll see hundreds - if not thousands - of downloads over the lifetime of the upload. Everything found a home in someone's project at some point, and that's just so special and amazing to me. The RCT3 community - while MUCH smaller in the wakes of NoLimits, Planet Coaster and other theme park sims - still lives and breathes strong! It's so encouraging. I would also like to note that all RCT1 & 2 and Parkitect files were also merged over from CSDepot, so truly nothing is lost (unless the original file was corrupt, missing, or otherwise broken in some way).

RDCT was an absolute masterpiece, but that could just be my pre-teen nostalgia bias speaking 😄 I remember seeing it in person during a middle school honor roll trip in 2006, and then watching it on repeat on RU42's YouTube channel. In highschool, us Freshman had a Senior friend who claimed she would fly as Tinkerbell during the show (and also fight Maleficent as Mickey during Fan!)...unsure if she ever really told the truth about that, but we all went with it because it added some extra special magic for us. ----- I'll echo what JB and RobertaME have said - Luminous felt lackluster. I actually quite liked the pyro, but without any projections, overall the "spectacular" fell quite flat. Fountains were small compared to the hyper-bright lighting and fireworks, which was a bummer. Seemed they went all-in on the lighting package, though - lots of fixtures to reuse from the previous tenant. Where Harmonious actually had a leg-up (and I cannot believe I'm saying this) was the collection of large, imposing barges. Although absolutely awful during the day, they were animated and interactive set pieces during that show, which is something that Luminous doesn't have...at least not to the same extent. Show creators course-corrected by having mobile set pieces that wouldn't disrupt the view across the water, but I think they ended up with barges that were just too small when viewed from so far away. Having only seen amateur footage, I'll let others speak to this and see if they are bigger when viewed in person. But that's my takeaway.

Ok, you have absolutely no business being that talented. Those look more realistic (and safer) than actual scissor lifts! That extension platform was a wonderful touch, too. While it's fun to see your buildings and environments come to life, I think I take more interest in these smaller details. Having never played the game, I would not have known they weren't default assets. I hope we get to see more of these single-project builds from you!!

Thanks, Cody! I hope you'll help guide us gingerly through the trials and tribulations of moderation here at ParkCrafters 😬 I ALREADY SAW WHAT YOU DID RIGHT THERE JUST THEN, MISTER. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. 😉 ----- Thanks for this awesome opportunity, @wolfpaw! I am so honored to be moderating all these reckless hooligans alongside @Cody and @Wilhelm1407 😄 THAT'S A JOKE, PEOPLE. NONE OF YOU ARE RECKLESS. ...yet.....

No guardrails for the likely-inebriated drivers? Your park's insurance must be excellent!

The layering in that picture is SUBLIME. Aerials, fountains, fire, lasers, all working in harmony together but each standing out on their own! I HOPE WE GET A CHRISTMAS RELEASE!!!
