RCT3 Coney Island Match-up?

#1
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.

Looked on Google maps. Then went to Street View.
Due to the type of lift thing, I'm sure that Soarin' Eagle is a 'Glider' coaster.
Unsure of Steeplechase, looks like it could be a standard junior coaster. As you can only see the rough shape of the cars, under the covers.
Hope that is of some help.

Re Soarin'Eagle: Glider coaster, I think that's it! Couldn't figure that one out, thank you.

Re Steeplechase: googling that and "Luna Park" will get you plenty of pics of the cars, which (big surprise) look like horses, much like the RCT3 Steeplechase, but in a train. Pity the RCT3 Junior coaster doesn't have horse-cars, but you can't have everything. Thx!
