TrimoParks

Oh, I like the urban feeling in this one, the concrete and all. The theming of "The Rack" surely adds to the chaotic feeling of the ride, loving the mess

Hey @JB! No problem Yeah, it's been a while since I have posted my RCT3 parks. Glad you like it @wolfpaw, thank you so much! Yeah, the grid in RCT3 was probably the one of the biggest downsides of the game compared to Planet Coaster. I nearly forgot about this lol @jaronimo.movthanks, I hope I can deliver! Hey @Cody! Thanks for your comment. I am also very happy that some familiar names from SGW have found this place, and hopefully more will do so in the future. @Kablary, thank you, I appreciate it a lot, especially because Maharaja Mine was my own favourite ride from the whole park, this means a lot for me. Maybe I will recreate it in a future Planet Coaster project. Thanks to everyone once again! So, in the meantime, I actually got back to work on my big Planet Coaster project, after a three years break. I really hope to be able to post new projects in the future, but we'll see. Btw, sorry for the different picture sizes here. I know it's not ideal. And now let's get back to… Three Mountains Park Part 2: 1995-2011 The mid 90s saw the addition of a few flat rides. And in 1999, the park's new highlight was the wooden coaster King of the Mountains. Together with the frisbee Storm and the Lone Pine Lodge (a restaurant): The Lone Pine Lodge from outside… ... and inside: A few years later, the next major coaster arrived at the northern edge of the park. The teaser was all about a highly venomous snake coming to Three Mountains Park.. the Boomslang, name giver to the ride. Here is a shot together with the Batoka River Rapids (a river rapids ride from 1991) below. Iceland came to the park in the mid 2000s. The highlight was the water coaster Snæfell, inspired by Journey to the Center of the Earth. After the lifthill, the boats dropped through the name giving volcano, passed by the famous giant mushrooms and dinosaurs, and finally splashed into the water. Some more Iceland impressions… Remember Hotel Marina Star from the beginning? The hotel finally closed in August 2008. Large parts of the structure were kept and now used for the main entrance, a monorail station, shops, restaurants, and more. The pond got transformed into a big plaza for the new main entrance: The Park Explorer, the new monorail, also had a second stop next to the north entrance of the park: In 2010, the anniversary year, a new fun coaster came to Three Mountains Park: The Unbelievable Journey of Lord Cannonfort, or just "Cannonfort" - to make things easier. In 2011, when the park finally reached real time, a final small flat ride was added, and I believe this was the end of the thread back then. I also found this map based on a screenshot from above, with some of the major rides mapped: And this was - in very short - the history of Three Mountains Park, name giver to the imaginary "Trimontis" park corporation, later renamed to Trimo Parks - and that's how I chose my (new) user name. Coming soon: The history of Tauber-Park

I really hope we're getting a new version of the game soon. Ok, then this is my wishlisht: The base game needs to be already more complete than Planet Coaster in its current state with all its DLCs. More flatrides, standard park rides from the 70s, 80s and 90s, also more European classics, to help build realistic smaller / lower-budget parks more basic designs instead of pre-themed rides more useful scenery objects. We have dozens of oversized christmas tree decoration and giant sausages, while some really useful decently scaled theme park essentials are missing more realistic (= less realistic!) animatronics ability to remove staff and those cylinders from the queue entrance, + those weird premium pass arrows weather, seasons, real time mode more realistic light behaviour (especially indoor) better tools for rockwork long-term commitment to the game, DLCs for years. and support for more community content and mods, similar to Cities Skylines, so that the community will be alive and buzzing again, like in the best days of RCT3 (that must have been around 2010-2014)

Welcome Hedgelord! Happy to see more and more familiar names from SGW finding this place.

Hey ParkCrafters! So, I thought I'd introduce you to the park projects that I shared on SGW a while ago, and I finally had some time to find the pictures, and picked a selection for you. Unfortunately some are smaller than the others. I'm also not sure if all pics were actually shown back then on SGW, so there might be exclusive "new" stuff in there. :) In my years on SGW, I have presented more parks than the ones that I will show here, but these three were my favourite projects that I'm going to show: Three Mountains Park (on SGW around 2011-2012) Tauber-Park (on SGW around 2013) Jolly Hills (on SGW around 2014-2015) I will split my presentation into four posts, which I hope to publish throughout the upcoming weeks. Two for Three Mountains Park because it was such a big project, and then one for each, Tauber-Park and Jolly Hills. There's also another park that I wanna show which I did with Planet Coaster, I guess I will share this one in the Planco forum after I'm done with this thread. So let's begin… with: Three Mountains Park Part 1: 1970-1994 I usually present my projects in chronological order of the park's fictional timeline, and Three Mountains Park was no different. The park began in 1970 as a small amusement and wildlife park in the countryside, located around and within three mountains. One of my biggest passions around presenting my parks is doing so with maps and flyers, so we're beginning with the one of the opening year: There was a big hotel at the entrance, Hotel Marina Star, located right at a big pond. One of the oldest highlights was the Flume Ride: A few smaller rides were added to the park in the mid 1970s, and in 1978, the first themed area of the park opened its gates: The "Alpendorf" (Alpine Village), featuring a roller coaster and a swing ride. In 1983, the first coaster with inversions came to the park: Quetzal, a corkscrew coaster. Those with less desire for thrill could take a relaxing time on the rowing boats on the neighbouring lake. As usually, the park added a few smaller rides and attractions in between the highlights. The next big thing was the iconic dark ride of the park: The Fate of the Stranded Strangers - a very scary ride, which arrived in 1987! The themed area "Mayaland", with the corkscrew Quetzal, got the Condor in 1988, and was completed with the water ride Tikal in 1989. In 1990, the African themed area opened with a Topspin, followed by the Batoka River Rapids in 1991. I'll share a picture of these in the second part soon. The biggest highlight of the last century however was the iconic Maharaja Mine, which replaced the old Wild Mine in 1992… …and this completed the Oriental Valley. Here it's in its full glory by night, ca. mid 1990s: To be continued.

Hi @Wabigbear, hi @JB! It's good to see you both here. JB, let's hope for the best, regarding both of our motivation :) I was halfway done with my most sophisticated park so far, but then I couldn't solve problems with the construction of an indoor roller coaster, so I kinda gave up about 3 years ago, also because it happened in a time when my real life changed completely. So, this new forum might get me motivated enough to look into the game (PC) again, and maybe I can figure out a way to overcome my hurdles with my project. It would be nice to share it here eventually, but even if, it will take a lot of time to complete it. But I feel similar. Maybe I can do something again. :)

Hello everyone! I was so sad to see SGW gone, but so good to have found this place now, and seeing some familiar names here. Some of you might remember me as "Elch" from SGW. I wasn't happy with my username already then, so from now on I'm TrimoParks instead. On SGW, I was mostly active in the parks forums (mostly back in the RCT3 era). Some of my bigger projects were Three Mountains Park, Tauber-Park and Jolly Hills. Maybe one of these rings a bell for someone. Later I tried to get into Planet Coaster (Dream Gardens Dublin), but I sadly lost motivation and energy a few years ago while working on a big project which never hit the internet... so I became inactive in the game and on the forum, but I always came to check SGW every now and then. We'll see when and if I get creative with my parks again, but most importantly, I wanted to say hi, and send my congrats and best wishes to parkcrafters! Cheers from Germany
