Washboard's RCT3 Creations

[40 Minute Washboard Solo]

Hi, folks! Here ye shall find some of the things I've created in RCT3 in my so far in vain attempts to get a timeline park rolling, as well as other random nonsense I created in my spare time.

 

To start off, Six Flags Kansas City. This was actually going to be my first timeline park - I even made the thread for it on TPR and made an opening update - but abandoned it because absolutely nobody was commenting or even viewing it + I had a falling out with TPR not long after. It was an adaptation of this park on Theme Park Fanon Wiki, and I was going to have it be "What if SF never sold it?". For 2007 I had planned what was basically a Vekoma Family Boomerang but with inversions in the DC Universe area called Krypton Comet.

 

And now some photos

The park's skyline. You can immediately notice several large coasters, as well as the Superman drop tower and the Paramount standard Eiffel Tower. Of note is I used nathan8488 on RCTgo's Kings Island's entrance area for SFKC, befitting its status as a former Paramount park.

DC Universe. I believe the station for Krypton Comet was to have gone by Batman's little turnaround and that facade by Riddler's Revenge. This is one of the most action packed areas in the park - fitting for an area formerly known as "Action Zone".

This is Kansas Streak, a CCI wooden coaster. For the future I had at least vaguely considered putting a hyper of some kind near or over it.

And here's the standard Vekoma Invertigo. This was V2: Vertical Velocity, formerly FACE/OFF.

And this, which was Paramount's last addition - a Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster. In the story it had suffered an accident of some form a few days before the update, hence why it isn't running in this snapshot.

And here's Joker's Revenge, in that big building. This is a Giant Top Spin like The Crypt at KI and unlike Crypt I had planned this to still be around in 2022, but maybe relocated and unboxed.

And the local Superman. This one was going to stay around at all costs. The gray support there is a mistake.

Foreground: Topeka Twister, a Tilt a Whirl. Background: Batman: The Ride, a B&M Invert with a layout similar to but not quite the same as Afterburn at Carowinds.

As with all the "Kings" parks, this had a racing woodie. This one was just "Racer". I remember vaguely considering giving this the RMC treatment in the mid 2010s.

The local log flume. A lot more heavily themed than usual SF flumes.

I forgot what this ended up being named. I never decided what I'd do with it but if I were doing it today I'd toss it by 2019 at latest.

And finally a nighttime shot of the park. I had also planned to add fireworks for 2007 to compliment Krypton Comet.

The end of the update strongly suggested the updater's home was to be destroyed in the Greensburg, KS EF5, thus allowing him to move to KC and become a more local insider in the likes of Kelly Ducharme and Robbie Fletcher. In the end, though, the lack of comments severely demotivated me, and after looking at an old post and seeing Robb Alvey tell a member to get off the board because the member disagreed with him, I had had enough of TPR.

 

That being said, I had always intended to offer the park up for download. I don't want to do it in this post because I'm afraid if I try to drag it in it'll erase everything, so look for the download in the post below this one. Maybe I'll return to SFKC.....one day.

I also made a version from the last Paramount year:

Love that green coaster layout - were you inspired by The Hulk coaster? The layout reminds me of it!

It's.......literally just Riddler's Revenge at SFMM, ported to Kansas. It's not an original layout of mine.

Very nice so far.

Thanks!

 

I'm working on something that may or may not be my first mini timeline park. But then I had an idea for another mini park, and now I'm undecided. Which do you want first?:

 

Forest Frontiers, a Paramount park that has just recently been bought by Cedar Fair (I have a mostly finished RCT3 recreation of this, just need to finish Soak City and add the trees)

or

Vertigo Views, the biggest theme park in Utah! (Would need to be started from scratch though)

 

Wish I could (or, if I can, knew how to) add polls to comments. Vote now! Frontiers or Views?

Ok but that is a very good ride! I really enjoy most of SFMM's coasters. Haven't been since X2 debuted, but....I'll stand by my comment.

Anything named Vertigo Views gets my vote!

[RobertaME]

Forest Frontiers for me. I like the concept. :^)

You're in luck!

Very soon......

[40 Minute Washboard Solo]

Forest Frontiers starts Tuesday, June 6th, 2023. Initially I was going to start it today but I ran out of time to do it. Can't do it tomorrow as I'll be rushing to archive as many RCT3 parks on SGW as I can. So, Tuesday. Then updates every weekend.

[40 Minute Washboard Solo]

About to start the first update on Forest Frontiers. It'll be very lengthy. Releasing either later tonight or tomorrow. Vertigo Views premieres over the weekend as the second mini park, resulting in two mini timeline parks going simultaneously.

[40 Minute Washboard Solo]

Took a bit too long to start the update. So not beginning FF today. Tomorrow or Thursday.

As compensation here's a teaser.

 

EDIT: Friday. Got my eyes set on a new thing. It'll also be a TL park, so I'll have AT LEAST that and Forest Frontiers running simultaneously.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to concentrating on my new park (which I have actually done the opening day file for) and not knowing how to approach its story (I.E., should it be one of those "thoosie journals" like RCT3 TGA and KP or should it be recounting the events of the seasons like Whispering Cliffs and the PLC version of TGA), Forest Frontiers has been indefinitely delayed. Evergreen Gardens, the aforementioned new park, has surged ahead and will be my first RCT3 park on here. Either today or tomorrow will likely be the first update. Vertigo Views is also on pause.

Can't wait to see the new park!

[40 Minute Washboard Solo]

It's dropped!

[40 Minute Washboard Solo]

Sigh.......Had a big ol new thread posted that was basically "Other events in the RCTFan-verse" (aka the universe Evergreen Gardens is in). First update talked about the sudden abrupt closure of Six Flags Indiana......Then it and everything else posted on the 16th was lost forever due to server issues. As compensation, here's the only screenshot I have of the update:

And the park file I had included:

Six Flags Indiana (2018).dat

 

I probably won't be redoing it anytime soon, both because I never backed it up and because I soured on the material after remembering it a bit. I MIGHT return to it one day, though...

 

EDIT: Updated the download to add a better version of the Free Spin. If you've already downloaded, replace that file with this new one.

Sorry your bubble got burst like that. :^/ That's the reason why I write anything more complicated than a post like this in Word or something first before posting them, so I not only can make sure my thoughts are in order and all but then I can save the document and keep it as a backup just in case.

The write-up looked awesome!

Yeah, the newspaper parts really were....It was mainly like a "forum" thing like a few Cedar Plains post but I started thinking "maybe this material isn't THAT good" overnight, which was another reason why I didn't repost.

Just my opinion, (which is worth exactly what you paid to hear it) but I liked the bit you managed to save!

If you change your mind, you'll get at least ONE Like!
