RCT3 Custom Map: Pirate Cove

Following right on from my first RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 custom map post yesterday, Fluffy Mountain, is the next map named Pirate Cove. The wedding and it’s associated planning have had some posts backed up, so now you get two new custom maps in one weekend!

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.
