In RCT3Plat I'm working on a no-custom-scenery (except billboard graphics) not-particularly-faithful-but-I'm-trying recreation of Coney Island (screenshot attached), working from maps on the Luna Park ( http://www.lunaparknyc.com/explore-the-p...k-map.html ) and Deno's Wonder Wheel ( http://www.wonderwheel.com/images/map.swf ) sites, and Google Maps. So far I've done the Cyclone (Wooden Coaster, natch), Wild River (Log Flume), the Tickler (Spinning Wild Mouse), Electro Spin (Disko), Air Race (Barn Stormer), and Parachute Drop (Rotodrop).
I won't be able to fit everything, but what rides I include I want to match their real-world counterparts as much as feasible, and I've found I often can't tell. Yeah, the Wonder Wheel is obviously a Giant Ferris Wheel, the NYAquarium's an Aquarium+Dolphin/OrcaShow, Tea Party's a Tea Cups Ride, the B&B Carousell's a MerryGoRound. But is the Sling Shot really a Sky Swing (yikes!), or is there something closer? Is RTC3's Steeple Chase the best thing to build the Steeplechase? What the heck do I use for the Soarin'Eagle? And so on . . . any thoughts?
I've made this available for download in case anybody wants an in-game look.
