The wedge-shaped, colorful gravity building was a favorite of mine from the Shyguy's World days. I have that version of UOE and the publicly released version by CaptainEO with the orange/yellow color scheme. The rainbow colors will be fitting for Geolocoaster and may even have some displays showing different geodes with similar colors to the wedges. Those SGW days were wild, looking at old pictures I have backed up 😆. Spaceship Earth is an icon and being able to use it as a symbol for this project has been incredible. There have been 3 iterations, with two having the 3D triangles. The current iteration will remain because of sizing as well as other factors. I did look at many vacation pictures and RCT3 Epcot videos (mostly the ones with these buildings) to get the landscaping just right around Spaceship Earth.
July 6, 20241 yr Author Happy Saturday everyone! Day 2 of the Discover Expo is going strong! Since this is the first Discover Expo, anything that was even mentioned was cheered for. There were quite a few teasers for future announcement at future events. Guests were able to tour the gravity building of Geolocoaster, sadly no photos allowed as it is an active construction zone, but it is going to be a thrilling attraction. Below is a summary of announcements today. Today's Announcements: Geolocoaster opening Fall 2024. Egypt will feature a family coaster known as Pharoh's Curse. Reusing track from the old version in old iterations of the park. France was teased as a country with a family dark ride as its main draw. American pavilion will feature an animatronic show. New resort is currently laid out, needs further work before name formally announced. Connecting boat line with Creations, Innovations, and Discover Resorts. World Of Screams begins in September. Something with park's icon?
July 8, 20241 yr Author Happy Sunday everyone! The Discover Expo had its final day today and we just debuted something bright for the park's icon. I came into the park about sunset to get a good spot of what was to come. About 8 PM or so was when something new debuted to the guests. Team members advised guests what was about to happen was under technical rehearsal but is now a permanent addition to the nighttime lineup. "Good evening, friends. One little spark of inspiration is at the heart of all creations and all discoveries. From natural wonders to other nations, a guiding light acts as a beacon for a great gathering. In celebration of 20 years of thrilling discoveries and memories the little spark lights up for you." This is a huge bonus to the park and was a huge undertaking for @wolfpaw. Things are under technical rehearsal, but we coordinated to get the sizing to a good enough scale for the park's icon. A huge thank you to @wolfpaw for the quick acting in effects, the lights twinkle and make for a great photo opportunity.
July 8, 20241 yr Some super exciting announcements, can't wait to see this famous park get even bigger! there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really
August 24, 20241 yr Author Happy Saturday everyone! September is coming fast and I am happy to share World Of Screams starts September 13!!! That is a Friday so it was very fitting to have our Halloween event to start that day. Decorations for that and for the 20th of RCT3 should be going up soon, but one thing that has been happening is the new lighting package on the park's symbol. Ever since the first Discover Expo the lighting has been a focal point at night and will continue to shine for many years to come. September and October are going to be huge months as we prepare for the anniversary of this project and RCT3!
September 12, 2024Sep 12 Oh can't wait to see what you do for identity crisis park 🤣 there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really
September 14, 2024Sep 14 Author It is now September and last night was the first night of our season named World Of Screams. This is the first time in years we have coordinated a Halloween event and there is a lot to learn this year along with determining spaces to decorate in the future as we open more areas to guests. As usual, an overview of the main entrance. At night the lights on the park's symbol go through some "spooky" colors set to classic songs played during this time of year. A great addition that is ready for the 20th of RCT3 next month. Decorations were minimal this year and scattered around, much like the coffin in the flowerbed at the main entrance. I hope the groundskeepers know that we don't store coffins at the park and definitely do not lay them in our flowerbeds. It does make for an interesting photo opportunity. The breezeways at night are home to some wandering scare actors, but during the day the static props and static scares are out for guests to pass by. We are taking notes on future Halloween additions as both buildings are active construction sites. The decoration team was clever and put static scares where the Global Cafe is set to be. This year the core of the park will be complete; it is looking like towards December is the timeframe of opening. The fountain stage hosts a small show during both the daytime hours and nighttime hours. A nice breakpoint from the wandering scare actors for those who are not into the scary side of Halloween. Also during World Of Screams is Discover Fears, which is the scary take of Discover a firework show that uses the infamous barges that we all know and love. The other breezeway takes on a scary carnival theme with its wandering scare actors. Much of which are clowns trying to lure guests to be part of their next act. Years ago, we did this theme, and it was popular. Again, with the redeveloped park we are trying to determine where and how to place the scare actors to be in popular guest areas. One last overview that seems to have become a tradition of many updates. Other updates: Core/Discovery Expo: Character meet-and-greet area under heavy development. Need to add path covers, ceilings, lighting. Temporary walls while color schemes are determined. Basic white and blue walls, similar to other areas in the core buildings. Geolocoaster: Blackened walls added to gravity building. Need to add blackened ceiling and finalized ceiling. Queue work started with exterior railings. Need to finish adding exterior railings and path covers. Need to add shade for guests in the exterior overflow queue. Virtual Queue being evaluated. World Exposition: Evaluating techniques for new countries. Looking into countries that can be used as buffers from the front of the park to the bridge over the canal that leads to the resort area. Looking into Egypt, USA, and France construction and additions
October 2, 2024Oct 2 Author 8 years ago World Of Discovery opened to the public and began its story on ShyGuys World. Today, this massive project now living here on ParkCrafters is an award-winner and is continuously growing and improving to become a project for the history books. Today, I am happy to announce WOD9 will be the next phase for this project. Plans are being worked to make it lead into the massive celebration that will come with WOD10. WOD8 gave us two new hotels, a recently opened character meet and greet area with RCT3 friends (opened this weekend), Geolocoaster's recent soft opening, and more developments to World Exposition and the park's core. I am excited for what is to come and happy to see this project grow and continue to develop to become one of the best projects in RCT3 history.
October 27, 2024Oct 27 Author Happy 20th Anniversary to RCT3! As part of today's special occasion, I am happy to announce that World Of Discovery is being reworked! For 2025, a new version of World Of Discovery will open to guests. Today ParkCrafters members are getting a first look at the main entrance. This entrance calls back to the original park entrance only this time a bit more details. This iteration is going to continue to be an everchanging project and I am excited to share more.
November 2, 2024Nov 2 Author Hey all! Happy Friday! To celebrate the premiere of Illuminations: Reflections Of Earth on Discord by @wolfpaw, here is a night shot of the new World Of Discovery. Currently got most of the pavilions placed at the front of the park and working on the entrance and core of the park. This night shot of course has the barges for Discover that @Anon-P created so that the Harmonious barges from Epcot live on 🤣. This version of World Of Discovery is already a different beast than what has previously created (2016-2024 versions). I am excited to share more as this develops.

November 5, 2024Nov 5 Glad my premiere helped get this update out - excited to see where this historic park will go in the future! there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really
November 9, 2024Nov 9 Author Something miraculous happened today. All of the park files that were causing me trouble (this one and Hollywood Studios) decided to behave. Of course I have already restarted World Of Discovery, but this means that I can pull different things from the previous working park to be in the new 2025 version. I will more than likely keep the Innoventions buildings that have been placed and possibly make a new version of what I had previously created piece-by-piece. Just a brief update to share that has affected my RCT3 updates.
November 11, 2024Nov 11 Woo! Glad to see your old park is working again but having a fresh start wouldn't be bad - still excited to see where you take this park! there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really

The new one is a bit better and has more space for attractions and other things that can be discovered. One thing that can definitely be discovered are the torches are starting to return to World Exposition as we further develop the surrounding areas.
November 26, 2024Nov 26 Oooh I see a familiar fire effect 😉 Are you going with the fresh start at the end or just sticking to the original park file? there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really

This is a fresh start. Figured for RCT3's 20th and another year in the history books that the project needed a refresh. It has had its moments of misbehaving, but that is the nature of things.

March 22Mar 22 Author Here is a video of some of the torches lit up. I was today years old when I realized they had emitters in them 😅. Edited March 22Mar 22 by Cody
