RCT3 Custom Map: Fluffy Mountain

Last year I published a number of Sim City 4 maps and while I love the game, the experience was waning on me. I jumped over to another of my all time faves Galactic Civilization II and posted some of my custom ship packs, then I set out to find more custom content I could make. That’s when I thought of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

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.

(download and unzip these files into your “Parks” folder)

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.

Empty path only park

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.
