Rather than an open park with some key theming –like last time, I’ve instead chosen to lay down some paths and basic transportation rides. You, as manager, are charged with renovating this old rundown temple into a full blown theme park.

The central feature of the custom map –as the name suggests– is a lost temple. I’ve built an Egyptian style pyramid with an enticing doorway for you to play with. Will you create stairs down into an underground complex, use it for a huge coaster dropping down into the depths or for some other purpose?

Leading up to the temple is a reflecting pool inset with ruined columns. Surrounding the temple and pool is a complex of stepped earth works for you to run coasters down around and through. Set high on the back wall is a huge waterfall to wow your visitors with. All in all I hope you’ll enjoy the possibilities presented at the Lost Temple.

Items in place

As I mentioned above I’ve laid down two small transportation rides. One is a small boat ride which runs from one side of the park to the other and the other a monorail which runs a short distance in shuttle shuttle mode.

The entrance to the park is also filled with the basic amenities you’ll need to help get your park off the ground, including those jumping fountains we all love to much.

I’ve not had time to actually play this park yet, the build phase has taken most of the free time I could muster. If you download and play the park I’d love to see your creations, be sure to comment or email with a link to some highlights!

Six Bunnies Pirate Cove

For my next RCT3 map creation I wanted to open things up and give the appearance of more space – the actual maps are all the same size, large. To help give the feeling of space I’ve included some large cliffs where use of gravity for coasters could help extend run-times. The bottom half of the zone is a small cluster of islands, this opens up new water bound adventures and allows coasters to fly over water for an added feeling of speed.

The empty park has less pre-laid paths this time around as I wanted to give you a greater freedom for park evolution. Not one to leave you with a bare park I’ve included two scenery creations with the empty map. One large fort over-run by animatronic pirates rises out of a cliff out-cropping, paths snake throughout and pass close to ancient ruins. On the other side of the map there is a smaller pirate tower which overlooks a secret pool and waterfall.

If you choose to download the full park from my own play session you can look forward to some interesting rides and even more colorful scenery than last time. A total of 12 rollercoasters, 9 thrill rides, a largely expanded pool complex and a host of other attractions to test drive, modify or rebuild. This time around I’ve taken much more time to build in the types of scenery you’d expect at a theme park, styled areas and structures around ride entrance/exits to name but a few. I particularly enjoy the Mine Train and Crows Nest Giga coasters.

In my previous outings with RCT3 I had simply played through the campaign challenges, this time I was going to crack open the sandbox mode and build some custom maps.

Six Bunnies Fluffy Mountain

I named my first custom park ‘Six Bunnies Fluffy Mountain’ as an homage to my new local Californian Theme Park. Here you’ll find a mountainous region complete with lake, custom waterfall and reflecting pool. The terrain transitions from rolling sand dunes to grassy plains, plains to jungle and jungle to snow-capped wasteland. Altogether you’ll have a large varied area to play with.

I’ve decided to make two downloads per map available. One will be mainly empty, only containing pre-placed paths. The other map will contain full rides and attractions from my play session for you to ride.

In the empty park I’ve started you off with with a central reflecting pool near the entrance, this pool feeds the stream which falls into the near by lake. Two main paths lead from the entrance along each side of the large central mountain. These paths eventually branch off in to dead ends. You’re all set to start building rides.

If you choose to download the full park from my own play session you can look forward to some interesting rides and colorful scenery. A total of 8 rollercoasters, 12 thrill rides, a pool complex and a host of other attractions to test drive, modify or rebuild. I had extra fun building the scenery around the Rapids ride and the first ride built was the Wooden Coaster Tundra.
