Can I submit a park I already have finished?? (its

an sf park too btw).

If not then ill happilly be a judge. I will be in florida

this week so i wont be contacteble till next week, thought id let u know.

[Sum41914]

OOOOOOO I want the disney one, im doing a really

good recreation of the whole Walt Disney World so im in.

[Costarking49]

Hm, I'll be the third and final judge.

[Stealthy350Z]

Custom Rides/Scenery is allowed. Trainers are also

allowed.

Twister are you doing a park or judging? I am also trying to give

as much time as possible for the first round since it takes the longest. After that each

'year' should not take to long to build.

Millennium Man if the

park has not been released then yes, and if it follows all the guidelines, but I believe

Colonel Custard may take Six Flags since he replied about it first. If he doesn't

then you can have Six Flags. If you don't get Six Flags all you really have to do

is change some names and theming, fix the broken down rides, and clean all the paths.

Do we have to have a park chain? I mean, each

month this game continues, we add on to the same park so what does it matter what

real world coaster company it is since we won't be making additional parks and

you don't have to theme the park like the company would.
Also, when

building a coaster and you say you get charged by the 'units', does that

mean you get charged for each track segment? What are the units?
Finally,

shouldn't the parks get points each year for how much money and/or guests they

attracted? I know you said the parks don't have to be peep friendly but you

people won't be able to build any cool coasters if they rely on awards for

money.

[Stealthy350Z]

The point of the game is to be realistic as possible. So

using a park chain and trying to theme it like real parks. This also gives you soemthing

to base your park off of. So if you are using Six Flags you might want to through in a

Batman The Ride or Superman Ultimate Flight, becasue they are very common in the

six flags chain. Units are how tall the coaster is. You can change it from real values to

the old RCT1 units by going into options. I think 2 Units equal 10 feet. The height of a

coaster will be from the lowest point of it to the hightest point. So something like Storm

Runner would be 180 feet or 36 units. If the game goes on long enough you will be

able to purchase a new map but the cost of that will be determined later in the game. I

really don't want to see someone building something like Superman the Escape

or TTD just to get the tallest and fastest coaster, but if they want to they can. Be

creative and try and be realistic with you coaster layouts, and think would I like to ride

this ride? There are only a few awards you can win by just throwing something into

the park, and the cost to get that awards might not be as great as the award. So you

are better off designing a MF and getting 30 points for the tallest, fastest, best steel,

and best overall coaster, instead of building a TTD and only getting 15 points, for

tallest and fastest. Something like a TTD and MF would also cost a lot of points, and

be careful or you will run out very quickly. You also don't want to be like six

flags and concentrate on building a crappy park with the most roller coasters because

the overall return will not be as good as building a nice park with a few good roller

coasters. Another thing is what happens if you and someone else try and build the

tallest and fastest and waste 40+ points on it. Only one of you will get the points,

unless there is a tie then it will be split. So you would be wasting almost all of your

points in the first month and have nothing to build off of the second month and you will

end up being like Six Flags and have no money.


Also I will be

changing the charts sometime before Friday. Im going to change it so something like

Wicked Twister only costs 10 points. Other things will also cost certain points for

certain types of rides.

[Funky21]

I'll judge the parks if another judge is still

needed

FuNky

[Stealthy350Z]

Ok all the judges spots are filled for now. I still

need some more sign ups for parkmakers though. Also does anyone have any good

ideas for awards?

You

didn't answer these 2 questions. You answered the first one vaguely. You

didn't specifically state that I had to have a park chain. Do I?

[Stealthy350Z]

Yes you do have to have a park chain, but if you want

to theme it different go ahead, it isn't going to help or hurt your chances. Make

your chain some foreign one nobody knows that much about, you can also make a

chain from a one park company like Hershey, or Morey's Piers.

As

for the guests and money. It would be to hard to tell, and take to long. Their will be

plenty of awards, I am still looking for some suggestions, and their probably will be a

way that everyone will get some money each year.

[coasterguy]

I will try this. i will do the paramount chain. i have

some wustions though. if i make a 100ft coaster that was like 1000ft long would it

cost the same as a 100ft coaster that was 5000ft long?. does scenery cost anything?

also does the park have to be open or can it be closed? it would be easier to focus on

making quality rides and such without having guests every where. and what size map

do we start out with, or do you send us a map to use?

[Westside7th]

I am doing Tussauds chain. I started my park map and

it is 256 but that is just so I will have plenty of room to expand over a long period of

time. I think that each year, every park will should get 1 point per ride in their park

and 2 for each coaster so you can make money in an off year where you might not

build big things. Also, there should be awards for the tallest inverted, stand-up,

floorless, flyer, wooden, etc.

[Stealthy350Z]

The park does not have to be 'peep

friendly' meaning it does not have to be opened, however if you want to you can.

As for the length of the coaster it will cost the same if its the same height and the

same type no matter what the length. Im probably going to update the cost chart for

different types of rides, because an impulse can be 200ft high, but they only cost 8-9

million dollars in real life. As for the map size, I would recommend using a

75-150x75-150 any size in there should be large enough, but you can use any size map

you want, for instance Westside is using a 256x256 map. As for the awards, I am not

going to do each type, simply because there may only be one of each type in the first

few years, but I might use tallest/fastest Invert, and woodie because those two

categories can have large numbers in them.

[coasterguy]

i have another question. what do other flat rides

besides the drop tower such as bumper cars, etc. cost?
