I'm really loving this park. It feels so real. However, the only thing I don't really care for is the first drop on the stand-up coaster. To me, it would look better if you could make the drop more of a sweeping curve, rather than such a compact twist. The rest of it looks fantastic, though. Keep up the great work.

I've been doing some work on the park but nothing earth-shattering. Right now I'm just filling in the rest of Western Adventure (which is almost done).

I've added three more rides, as well as more shops and restaurants. The most notable ride is Nightmare Mine which has an interesting back story.

I was trying to build an elaborately themed wild mouse coaster, but ended up not liking it and deleting it. It was built in and out of a large mountain known as Nightmare Mountain. I removed the coaster and the mountain planning on going to in a different direction but when I attempted to delete the highest peak on the mountain, my game crashed. This wasn't a problem because I frequently save, so I went back in and tried to delete it again... the game crashed again. After hours of trying to delete this (using trainers, the zero clearance tool and just the traditional "right click to delete" method) I gave up.

Because this scenery object was so high in the air, my only choice was to rebuild nightmare mountain and build a new coaster inside. The new coaster is completely enclosed and is a steel, non-inverting coaster with a 60 foot drop and multiple high-speed helixes. The ride is a big hit with guests, but not with the maintenance department as they've been reporting some strange sightings in the mountain. In all my years of playing RCT2 I've never experienced anything like it. I've seen the white "ghost" scenery but eventually I've been able to delete that. This isn't ghost scenery, it's out in plain sight at the very top of Nightmare Mountain. The local media has written stories about the mountain and how it was somehow impossible to demolish which has only added to the ride's popularity. Nobody can explain the mysteries of the mountain, but many people feel that it's haunted. No guests have reported any strange activity yet but the urban legends are still spreading throughout the local towns like wildfire.

Haybaler and Buzzsaw are the newest flat rides in the park. They're both non-inverting, family-friendly attractions.

Nightmare Mine has had long lines ever since it opened, and they're only getting longer as the urban legends spread.

In that last picture, is that the park's railroad going deep into the woods? If so, that's pretty awesome. It'd be a pretty scenic train ride.

Yes it is, although by the end of this a lot of that land will be developed.

That train would make for an awesome Halloween haunted attraction in its current state.

Hello again!

Sorry for the long wait, I've been really busy with work and am currently in the process of forming a new corporation so I haven't had much time for RCT. That being said, I'm still very excited about the future of the park and I'm having a lot of fun working on it when I have the time.

-------

A new area of the park has opened up. Right now it's called "Congo" but if anyone has a suggestion for a better name, please let me know. This area is unfinished and there are still some gaps to fill in.

Comments greatly appreciated!

Abassi is our newest coaster. Abassi gets it's name from the ancient African god "Abassi", god of the sky.

Here is an overview of Abassi. This coaster will be completely custom supported when it's done. It's a little on the short side but it definitely packs a punch.

For the name of the section, maybe you can name it African Adventures. Another thought would be tying in something related to the mountain gorillas of that area. Maybe something like Gorilla Mountain or something similar.

Thanks for the comments!

I love the name African Adventures but I just used "Western Adventure" for the western section so I'd like to try something a little different. Keep the ideas coming though, I really appreciate it!

Anyway, I have a mini update. I've done some work on the area around Abassi. The ride now has it's own gift shop and photo booth and a few more shops and stalls have been built near the ride. I may make some slight modifications to the area to increase foot-traffic but I'm still going back and fourth on that idea.

One cool feature of the ride is that the Swiss Skyride will actually travel under the lift hill.

Lovely screen! That building with the red roof (gift shop?) is very nice! As far as names go, perhaps Forbidden Jungle? Or Amazing Africa?
