A few booths for diners and restaurants with simple tables.

Hello

Breaking my rules, showing stuff that I am just starting on.  After tinkering around a little now and then I finally got the urge to try to build something.   I am likely to ask a lot of questions although I am figuring out a lot so far just by messing around.

Years ago the first real park i built in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 was renamed Highland Lakes on one of the final renovations.  For those who don't know or don't remember I tend to never finish anything.  I might say it is finished but it isn't.  Any time I open a park I tinker around and sometimes that leads to full renovations which I did 4 times on Highland Lakes.

I jammed 14 roller coasters into that park, even after a few renovations it still had low custom content so it actually runs quite well on my PC surprisingly.   Later I may see if I still have screen shots of how that RCT3 began, its a great example of how bad an RCT3 could look...

These are shots of the entrance, all of these are from the last couple of renovations.







So since that park was where I started in RCT3 I thought, why not re-imagine it for Planet Coaster.

As I said I decided to try re-imagining the park so it is not trying to be a recreation.  First change is I am scaling back the entrance, the train station will not be massive like the RCT3 park was.

After a lot of trial and error I got this far...



This really is the first time I have tried to actually build anything in this game.   As I said I have tinkered with it but did not get motivated to really make an effort to start learning how to do anything until last Saturday.


After even more trial and error I managed to get some paths that I don't completely hate on the back side of the station.




By Tuesday I actually had a building starting to take shape.   It is very simple, it takes cues from the station in the RCT3 park but its a lot simpler.  In my RCT3 parks I started to scale things like this back as well.  Where I used to build massive entrance buildings I got to where I had small train stations, smaller scale entrance buildings.





I started to try different paths, there was entirely too much reg going on.  Oh and the Munsters cars won't be staying there... I was just checking them out.   If I keep re-imagining parks I have a place for Dragula but it's not at Highland Lakes




By Wednesday I basically had a finished station.  I am sure I will find details to add but the structure is basically done.




Thursday was "Find a path I can live with day"  and I started to construct a sign that would take cues from the sign in the RCT3 park.   Oh and I placed a staff building... after my entire staff quit on me because I don't have a clue what I am doing yet.

The square nature of the entrance is intended, you can see I am starting to play with where I will transition to a more organic feel into the park.  No rides that you see should be considered final decisions I am only playing around with ideas on how I may want to lay this thing out.




I think I can deal with this path. 




And there is the sign.   I may still tweak this a bit but hours and hours later... here it is.





Beginning to do some landscaping around the entrance.   A lot of detail still has to go into this.



Going to see how far I can push this with my old PC.  Already planning to build a new one by next fall... maybe summer but so far I am running pretty well on this old one which is encouraging.
