I think one of the most fun things to build on RCT3 is the Giga Coaster.
How about you guys?
 
Definitely carousels. If you don't have fun plopping down hundreds of carousels and making really long queue lines and no exit paths, then you have no life. :wink:

Seriously, I like making Flyers for some reason. And pirate themed rides, dunno why. :p
 
I like Extended Rollercoasters at the moment.

They have alot of unique track elements (able to run upside down, different shapes for bumps, unqiue looking inversions etc) and also different car styles; Basic, Twister, Floorless, Hypertwist, Thin Hypertwist, stand up for example.

It just allows you to be very creative with your designs.

Extended coasters allows you to creat mind-bending underground sections where you cannot keep track of which way is up anymore.

For an inverted coaster type, the classive Inverted Rollercoaster is my favorate. It doesn't have as many different looking inversions as other inverted types, but you can't go wrong with the Large Verticle Loops and two theme car options.
 
I find the dive machine to be a bitch. Because I can only have three cars in the station at a time. One car takes forever on the dive break and rest of them keep crashing :x
 
I've only just got into making Giga coasters, i like the fast nature of the cable lift hill
Other than that i tend to build alot of inverted and extended coasters
 
I must admit. If I was making a coaster that had no invertions and I wanted epic drops, I would choose the Giga Coaster because I find the track aesphetically pleasing and the rapid lift hill. The choice of cars also helps.

I find that if you want alot of drops and hills, verticle drops somewhat kills the epic scale of the coaster as it doesn't look like it flows. More, goes up and down.
 
I like gigas too. With them it's more about actually having the skill to make a decent coaster, not just throwing in a bunch of misplaced inversions...not that I don't like inversions. I have a video on YouTube of twin racing gigas that I made. I'd post a link, but I haven't been a member long enough :-(
 
Oh, now that this thread has been re-brought up I guess I might as well post my video on it: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO8mv_kxy0A[/youtube]
