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.


Is it too late to change the name of the Western section? For instance, you could rename it Highnoon Haven, Rattlesnake Ranch, or something similar. In my opinion Western Adventure is a little generic, but a more "themed" name would be neat.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll stick with Western Adventure. The new name for the Congo section of the park will be announced soon.

Anyway... I have another update for everyone.

It's Kilimanjaro's Fury, the parks newest coaster! Riders board the ride by entering through a makeshift volcanic research facility where scientists monitor the volcano for activity. All seems normal until riders enter the mountain. Once they're inside the caldera, an unexpected eruption shoots riders 341 feet into the sky at 113 MPH. Riders will travel through two themed tunnels and will experience over six seconds of air time during the experience.

Kilimanjaro's Fury is now the tallest and fastest coaster in the park. Sunset Valley is starting to become a major thrill ride destination.

Just revisited this park, and it looks amazing! I love the whole section and the Reverse Freefall Coaster looks amazing. Keep up the amazing work. Cannot wait for another update.

Thanks!

Since I've owned RCT2 (Must be almost a decade now) I don't think I've ever used that type of coaster. I rode Superman at Magic Mountain back in 2002 and just thought it was such a dull ride that I never had any interest in putting it in my RCT parks. Then for some unknown reason after looking at that plot of land I felt like it was a perfect fit and went into ParkDat and got it.

I just read through this entire thread, and I am very impressed with your park. I especially love the shots of Vampire. The station and queue are beautiful!

I really like how fast you're progressing through this project! I've never truly liked those Reverse Freefall coasters because they look horrible, but you've done them justice and themed it really well. I also like the buildings in that first screen.

I think Intamin should make a donkey!

I have to say, I love how you did the rock work for the freefall coaster. Not too many, but not too much just right. Your project makes me want to build something again ;)

Thanks guys!

I have another update for you!

Python takes riders through the woods, over hills, through a tunnel and finishes with a turn over a small lake. It's a great coaster for all ages!

The lift hill and first part of the ride. I'm not thrilled with the supports on the lift so I may re-think those.

Sunset Railway has been closed for a week or two. The station is now completely boarded up.

Some track has been removed over by Python. Right now the site is very quiet but I doubt that will last.

Awesome update. I think the supports look pretty cool on Python. Also, I wanna see the finale turn. I always love seeing signature parts of rides. Keep up the insanely freaking awesome work.

Here's a mini-update for you.

The construction was for a brand new station near Python. Sunset Railway is now a transportation ride which will be a big help in such a huge park.

Western Adventure was packed today. You may notice that the signs that used to say "Congo" now say "Forbidden Jungle". Thank you Xtreme97 for the great name!

The small strip of land on the north end of the Rattler is one of the few quiet areas in the park (if you don't count the screaming riders). It's a nice place to relax and have a sit down meal.
