Hersheypark on RCT 3

UPDATE #1

Park Announcement

I think it's time to tackle a real park on RCT3 for me. I've tried tackling HP a couple times in the past but failed, the farthest I've even gotten was completion of just Midway America.

To create this park, I'll need some suggestions on selecting which custom scenery to use (maybe even some specially made scenery just for this park). I'll also will need to browse through a lot of park pictures to find out where everything is. The park will be a 2007 version meaning that I'll need to add the boardwalk, but I'll do that once the actual area opens. I'll also need some information on the elevation changes inside the park. My only concern is that I hope it won't end up like the Pearl Island park because if it does, I'll possibly look in to seeing about getting a graphics card.

Right now I'm very interested on any comments or concerns. If this is possible, then an update will be coming soon.

A preview billboard. A sign of what's to come.

Well I think the sign looks good! Just do your best and do not give up, and your park will go far

I have just downloaded some of shyguy's scenery and when I got into the game, and when I pull my mouse over an object I get an error message and the game crashes. the message says somewhere by the lines of svd: for sid. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? The scenery was all 3 Alpine and all 2 Circus scenery. Please help!

If you have Wild and the pre-wild scenery pack or the other way around, it might be a problem.

So what you're saying is that I shoud uninstall Wild! and it should work?

No. Shyguy's sets are wild.

You installed it wrong. It happens all the time. If this were the atari forums, I would be very angry and tell you to use the search button.

But anyway, remember the installation directory. And make sure to read any read-mes in the zip folder. Another thing is to make sure you extract the folder containing the scenery, not the folder containing the readme with the folder containing the scenery inside it.

I've fixed it!!!!

It appears that all I needed to do was put the .zip file in a different folder and extract it to the Themed folder.

I've got all 3 Alpine Scenery packs and all 2 circus packs plus some rock speakers!

UPDATE #2

Construction of Tudor Square

For the first day of construction, it was half decent. The bridge has been constructed, the new dunkin donuts shop has been finished, and almost everything up to the park entrance has been finished ( besides Tudor Grill).

Here's a view of the entrance so far.

This is where the entrance is going to be.

If found some cool restroom signs!

The dunkin donuts resturant.

The entrance bridge.

UPDATE#3

Near Completion of Tudor Square

The Tudor Grill is 95% completed ( I just forgot to add a part of the building now) and I might do a little more work on the entrance. I'm not going to space out the queue because of size issues. I haven't put the roof on the chocolate house yet and the restrooms building has been completed. I have even built the first building in Rhineland, it's the little information booth just inside the park.

Tomorrow's agenda is to fix some of the buildings using some of those pictures, add more scenery, and then work on Rhineland. Now to the screens.

The first building in Rhineland.

There still needs to be a section of the building to be constructed.

Looks great! But you are missing some things... most theme parks have them now days... oh what were they called? OH thats right...RIDES... I mean your park has like none.

~Matthew

Tudor Square and Rhineland have NO rides! This area has only shops and resturants. The rides don't start until I get to Founder's Circle.

Keep up the good work.

UPDATE #4

Completion of Tudor Square and Construction of Rhineland

Tudor Square is officially completed!

Yesterday was kind of a touch-up day for this section, I've completed the Chocolate house building, added a little more scenery and other utilities as well. I am kind of amazed at how well it looks and I'm anxious to start on the next area.

Today, I plan on starting Rhineland and getting one quarter to half of it done.

Looking at the addition of the Tudor Resturant.

All of Tudor Square

The chocolate house is finished!

I like your buildings. They look very good.

I only have one complain. I think your water looks too "blocky", you should try to make it smoother.

Keep up the great work

Looks great so far, just like the real park

UPDATE #5

Near Completion of Rhineland

There was a lot of work done on Rhineland today. Creekside Catering is done, almost all the buildings are layed out and half of then are completed. I still need to add scenery and trees to the area. Founder's Circle construction does not seem to far away.

Let me know if I designed these buildings wrong because I don't know.

UPDATE #6

Completion of Rhineland

Rhineland is 99% complete and Founder's Circle has just been started. I still need to finish Famiglia's Pizza, but after that it will be completed. The first building is finished for Founder's Circle which is Hersheypark Kids, but also the statue was done, execpt instead of Milton Hershey in the center, it's just 2 golden lion statues.

Here's what I've done so far.

Rhineland

I can't beleive how real it looks!

That building in the left corner is the first building of Founder's Circle.

This is where the Hereshey statue would be.

UPDATE #7

Founder's Circle Construction

Rhineland is completed! Work has just started on Founder's Circle and the first ride has been built! The ride is the Mini Himalaya and it looks awesome! Take a look!

More soon!

Not much change

Cool or what!?!

WoW! Everything looks great! I do have a question though. Ok on the ride should there not be a hill on the right side too? Oh and how many times does the coaster go around the track? Ok so that was two questions, but still...

~Matthew

That little coaster is COOL Great idea!!

great work till now! the little coaster is funny would it count as a credit?

I would've added another hill, but there would've been enough space. In the real world this would've been a coaster, but this is the only thing close to a Himalaya.

UPDATE #8

Founder's Circle Completion

I am proud to announce that Founder's Circle is fully completed! I may still need to add benches and trash cans, but that's no big deal. I found a great tent to cover the Carousel, it looks almost like the real one! Comments please!

The whole park so far.

The Carrousel

The overhangs look so real.

Tiny Tracks

Scrambler, Space Age, Helicopters, and Traffic Jam.

All that's missing is the Comet and Kissing Tower in the background.

This is the finished area.

This was earlier today.

Making good progress
