    Theme It! - An RCT3 Competition

    It's about time for another competition. I thought it would be interesting to create an entirely new type of competition based around theming a coaster. To judge the theming most effectively, I felt you should all work from the same template. That being said, I have provided you with a coaster...

    Vulcania | Volcans Sacrés

    So apparently the French "entertainment park" Vulcania is working on a dark ride that they are investing €4.4 million (approx $5.9 million) into called Volcans Sacrés (or Sacred Volcanoes). It looks like a lot of progress has already been made on the ride (or at least the set pieces). Here's a...

    Top Spin Variance

    I've been wondering for a while now, which top spin-esque rides actually get you wet and which ones just threaten you with water? Is it just a manufacturer thing or model thing or is it up to the operations of each individual park?

    Slender: The Eight Pages

    Alright, so it's a little late but the Slender craze is still among us. For those of you who haven't heard, Slender: The Eight Pages is a first-person horror game based on the legend/myth of the Slender Man, a tall, thin faceless figure wearing a black suit. The object is to collect all eight...

    Keyhole Elements

    Among B&M wing coasters, keyhole elements have been extremely popular and for good reason. Certainly the exposed feeling of the winged seats adds to the thrill of going through such a small ride envelope. Now I know the idea of a keyhole element is nothing new, but I think it is far underused in...

    4th Dimensional Coasters

    How come we don't see many of these popping up. I think most people who have ridden X or X2 will place it in their Top 10 and it is clearly an iconic coaster. Albeit S&S did make a new one this year, why do we not see other manufactures picking up this general coaster type? Mind you I am...

    RCT for Android and iOS 2013

    Looks like Atari has had some RCT plans up their sleeve. They have revealed that they will be releasing a mobile version of RollerCoaster Tycoon. I for one am glad to see they will be offering it for Android. There is still speculation whether the game will be free-to-play or sold otherwise...

    Best Coaster/Ride Queue

    What queue line is your favorite and why? Does it build up the ride well, provide a story, have an interactive element? For me, the two best are probably the queue for ROTM (Universal Studios Hollywood) and the Indiana Jones ride. Both provide story for guests that are not acquainted with the...

    Collab Park Idea

    So all of this park-making has been causing my creative juices to start flowing and presented me with a unique (perhaps unrealistic) idea. Although all of us embrace RCT3 in different ways, we each have unique styles which contribute to this corner of the CF forums quite nicely. I love seeing...

    Height Limits

    I understand the safety factor when a park sets certain height restrictions for those on the shorter end of the spectrum because we don't want people falling out/getting jostled around too much. I am more interested in why there are height restrictions on the upper end and why they seem to vary...

    "Full Throttle" Magic Mountain 2013 Coaster Rumor

    This article claims that Six Flags Magic Mountain plans to add a "terrain-hugging launched roller coaster in 2013." Seems some "mechanic" breached his nondisclosure agreement or something ;-) Who knows but it certainly is interesting information (as it comes with the news of Cedar Point dropping...

    Intamin ZacSpin for Steel Pier 2014

    So I just saw this article on the LA Times website about a push for new rides and attractions at Steel Pier. Apparently they want to add almost a dozen new attractions, most notably (at least to us) is the addition of an Intamin ZacSpin for 2014. This would be big for a park that is currently...

    CS, CTR, and CFR Help and Suggestions

    Kinda surprised we don't already have a topic about this yet but it's probably because a lot of you are still warming up to the idea of using CS. Anyway, this would basically be the place to ask for help finding CS or CTRs as well as asking for help regarding how to use custom content or as a...

    "Theme Park" vs. "Amusement Park"

    So I was just wondering what all of you CFers think about the terms "theme park" and "amusement park". Do you think of them as being the same? Do you use them interchangeably? Strong opinions otherwise? To me they are two distinct terms referring to different types of parks. Theme being more of...

    Reddude333's RCT3 Creations - Projekt Asia Teaser Update

    So I decided to make an RCT3 topic much like the development topics for NoLimits but with posts showing projects I'm working on in RCT3. I'll just post pictures and POVs here periodically. It would be awesome as always to get feedback from all of you. My first post will be regarding the project...

    Scenery Placement Trick

    As per request I have decided to show a step by step demo of how to use the trick that allows me to overlap scenery objects without collision issues. I hope this will be of help to everyone... So I will start with this fairly unthemed improvement of my family coaster entry from the final round...

    Derek's Dueling Coaster Comp

    It seems we haven't had a new comp in a while and seeing as I have participated in a fair amount of them myself I decided to try hosting one. This is a challenge I have been hoping someone else would make into a contest but I decided it would be interesting to see what you all can come up with...

    Reddude333's NoLimits Creations

    I'm basically making this thread so that I can get some feedback on designs and so I can improve my skills on NL. I have made a few coasters in NoLimits but I am still relatively new to it. Here is my latest creation. It's an X-car coaster with a LIM hill and a couple inversions. Nothing too...

    College and Classes

    I'm sure I'm not the only CFer currently in college and I so I was thinking today, I wonder where other CFers go to school and what classes they are taking. What are their majors? I thought there should be a place to discuss college and tertiary education. I guess I'll get the ball rolling with...

    Oddities of Asian Coasters

    I have always thought that roller coasters in Asia are distinctly different from those in other parts of the world. It seems that Asia is oftentimes the hub of guinea pig coasters, some of these result in huge success and world renown (such as with Takabisha), and others become the greatest...
