Hello to all, who still love RCT3!

May I announce that I will release a new custom scenery / custom flat ride set on sunday, 11/01/2026. I worked over 5 years on this collection which includes all important set pieces and animatronics to recreate the "Phantom Manor" dark ride at Disneyland Paris. It also includes a new flat ride that emulates the "Stretching Room" pre-show. It works like an in-game elevator and takes guests from the foyer a few levels down to the dark ride load station.

On sunday there will be a video premiere on youtube, the clip gives you a detailed look on all the content included in the set. The download link will appear in the video description after the premiere.

Hope you´ll enjoy!

Thanks, Cody. I will surely keep this thread updated on my other projects. Finishing Spaceship Earth, Great Movie Ride and E.T. are next on my to-do-list.

I love that to-do list.

I have seen your videos on YouTube before and wow, I love how detailed and passionate you are with all your projects. Very happy to see you around here on ParkCrafters - thanks for sharing your work on here, and excited for the future projects (especially SSE and Great Movie Ride)!

Thank you for sharing! I love it!

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words! Regarding "The Great Movie Ride" - in a couple of hours (8:45 Los Angeles Time) I will upload a new preview video showing the first part of the ride recreation (from the dispatch at the Load Station to the Mary Poppins scene)... The showgirls on the "Footlight Parade" cake are already dressing up 😁, so stay tuned!

Hooray for Hollywood indeed.

Wow I didn´t see this but you have my vote for the Park Crafters awards. This is amazing, it took years to finish this as you said. One of the most advanced CS projects in RCT3!

Thanks for sharing and your work! it looks realy awesome. No mather what game they make rct has a special place in my heart :)

@marcio van den hurk @DanielDikay thank you very much for your kind words! More recreations are in the works right now, like the original Journey into Imagination... so stay tuned!

Since not everyone on this site may also hang out on the Parkcrafters Discord channel... just a short heads-up: My latest project - the original "Journey into Imagination", an EPCOT classic - will be released as a scenery / custom track set in a few months. Check out this preview for the attraction.

That.

Was.

Totally.

WICKED!

Wow! You've taken RCT3 to the next level.

I'm stumped! How did you make the black & white set pieces change to COLOR?

@RobertaME @shyguy Thank you, I really appreciate your comments! More stuff is in the works!

Basically I generated an animated texture. At the start of the animation the texture is completely white. Then it gradually transforms, with different areas on the texture getting different colours, with smooth gradients between them. I textured the elements in this scene by projecting the texture in a larger scale over the scenery. This achieves the effect you mentioned.
