TrimoParks

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 🙂
