You definitely have improved with each update. I know we have done a lot of voice chats to get the park even better. Main Street is looking really good!

If you end up getting this to work, I have some ideas for you for similar attractions (Astro Orbiter for Disney parks).

Welcome! I have been a huge fan of your work and have used your Friendship boats religiously. I am super happy to see you here!

Are you ready to rock it? Now open at Universal Studios Park

I am hearing more rumors that walls are expanding outwards and some huge additions are already starting to appear.

So, I actually got a rollback on my first and only ride on Hiccup's Wing Gliders on the first launch. The music continued as we were stalled and rode most of it in silence. The second launch had no audio for our train until we went through it and ended the ride with audio. Big Thunder is a classic that is constantly getting updated and seeing retracks across the many versions. I think Disney takes a ton of care of it and should be doing this with other attractions.

Happy National Coaster Day! The question of this discussion is what is your favorite coaster? Mine is Velocicoaster at Islands Of Adventure.

The RCT3 world seems to move quick once rumor mill starts turning. I received word that construction walls and signage starting to appear in the park almost overnight. Like the ParkCrafter I am, I decided to see if this is true and how much of the park is blocked by walls. This park seems to love construction walls. Of course a classic shot that must be taken by all guests. If you do not take pictures of the park symbol, did you really visit the park? Well, we have construction walls. The signage matches the ticket booths at the park entrance with the World Of Discovery logo created by CaptainEO a few years ago. Looks like the walls will be added in phases possibly? It looks like the fountain is blocked off by the construction walls. The breezeways are wide open, but one thing to notice is that there are already lamp posts behind the construction walls. The RCT3 world is no joke and things can appear and disappear within seconds. I am predicting this will be a common sight for a while. Future discoveries await as the signs say....

Hopefully you are ready to rock it!

It has been needed for a long time, hopefully the rumor is true and we have the funding 😉. When I went to Epic Universe I actually said "well I found where Epcot's fountain went" because it was such a nice feature to sit by and enjoy. I actually sat in the seating area to eat dinner to-go from a nearby mobile order window. Epcot went to being a concrete jungle while they claimed there was going to be more shade.

I typically use the Stadium CFR for filler, gets quite a bit of peeps in the park too.

How are you going to handle Villain Con in RCT3? My studios has the two studio soundstages as "flex spaces" to house anything.

I am not near my computer that has RCT3, but a possible issue would be placing files in the wrong location. The .dat file may not be in the right folder. Update: Looking at one on our site. Make sure all the structure files are out of the folder and just placed in structures. I would not transfer the .bak files and only the .dat files. Make sure you have the scenery and CT/CTR installed properly and have the proper cars. I am still unsure of what the exact issue is, but this is me guessing potential issues.

So, some of the big things to check first involve making sure shadows are turned off and you are installing the content in the correct locations.

Sundays are for discoveries. It has been a moment since I have posted any sort of update on this nearly 9-year-old project. Well, rumor mill is turning faster by the day as the 10-year anniversary looms on this project next year. I did begin a 2026 park file just to experiment with something, and I am heavily leaning towards that concept. Entering the park, the old entrance style welcomes guests. Yes, this screams identity crisis, but the entrance is going back to the roots of the original concept of World Of Discovery. At the time, nobody would have thought Epcot would be going under a relatively massive transformation (to include Illuminations leaving which it should never have). I have had fountains, planters, and different entrance styles, but this is still one of my favorite styles. The entrance is mostly complete, minus the sides needing some foliage structures to better envelop the entrance instead of being open and grassy areas. Always take pictures of the park symbol. It is an engineering marvel. Rumor mill involves the entirety of the core of the park being reworked. What is being considered is a more park-like appearance that keeps the fountain. Moving away from the concrete jungle that is surrounded by buildings. Real-world Epcot in 2025 does something interesting, but I am not a true fan of the rework. I would have kept the fountain or plussed it to make it better. World Of Discovery is looking to go a completely different direction according to rumors. Think Celestial Park at Universal's Epic Universe being behind the "Epcot ball." The transitions between the nearby areas would be interesting to create, but this is a blue-sky concept. I had a version of World Of Discovery where the two buildings were recreated piece-by-piece. I loved how they turned out but filling in the buildings were where it was tough because I do not do interiors, so it was lacking. The transition to World Exposition would remain the same as this is the best transition I have made between the two major sections of the park. World Exposition is still in the development phase as is most of this version of World Of Discovery. This rework was not planned at all after a game issue, so this project has been a bit quiet. I expect construction to pick up steam relatively soon to end 2025 on a high note. It is also rumored that the Discover Expo has been moved to October rather than July. Scheduling has made it difficult to get the announcements ready for the media, but with 2026 being a major year the event is carefully being planned. All I know is there are more discoveries and stories to be told.

This might be my favorite show from your massive collection! The set design is stellar, and the soundtrack is something different from what we have seen in your more recent shows. This show is a huge achievement and congratulations on another completion!

The road/parking lot shots are my favorite. Makes me think of early developed parks that have light foliage between them and the park boundary. The entrance is still unique and flows into the park's theming at the start. I am curious about the integration of Paradise Pier into the Disneyland-esque theme. The transition might be pretty easy if done from Main Street because you will be able to make archways and other supporting buildings that lead into your version of Paradise Pier. I am looking forward to this, I know I am making you think 🤣.

I spot something Wicked. That actually opened during my November trip, but I started in IOA that day.

Of course, same to you! I have always loved your park and wanted to give you credit for the similar stage design just in case you showed up 😅.

I love it! I am doing a RCT3 park named Universal's Adventureverse that will combine the IPs found at Epic Universe and Islands Of Adventure. Very neat to see a similar concept that differs from the real world with some unique areas.

Seeing a few more newbies! Welcome to ParkCrafters we have erm rides and uh shows and maybe some parks I don't know 😅. Send help

Welcome to ParkCrafters! I cannot wait to see what all you have to share with the community.

This section of Wonder World I still go crazy over in RCT3 let alone Planet Coaster 2. Also, you may need to upgrade your plumbing if it is the same from way back then 🤣. Excellent work, please continue to inspire all of us!

Walking in here with a stellar recreation! You are setting the bar high for yourself, and I hope to see you continue to develop amazing creations. Welcome!
