I haven't done it for myself, but if you clear all of the scenarios you get the Mega Park, which is like the sandbox of the game. Still limited cash though, but eh.

some more coasters

A 215 foot dive machine I made last year


Also made last year. The 3rd and 4th inversions are  an element called a Pretzel knot, it was only done once on a coaster (that coaster no longer exists)


Nice launch coaster I made 2 years ago, It uses hacking to get the trains I wanted.


Made last year, It has an high excitement rating for its intensity rating


Made 3-4 years ago, 8 inversions


Nice invert, made last year


Big and intense 150ft woody made 2-3 years ago, probably one of my best woodies



4 year old flyer, the half loop and pretzel loop (the inversion at the top of the picture) causes some high positive gs.

I do have a slightly n00bish technical question-

Where are in-game screenshots saved in the RCT2 Files? When I try to take them using the "Print Screen" key, the colours come out reversed? So if I take one using the "Screenshot" button in the game, where is it saved? I've looked everywhere for the files.

OK, I'll try that then. If it works, expect to see a couple of my creations soon.

OK folks, I've got the pictures working now. To celebrate, here's one of my latest coasters...

Twin Thunder, a Wooden Racing Coaster. It's also a two Moebius Loop coasters which are connected, so it's technically two rides, but is saved like one.

Thanks, guys. I like to build more realistic coasters, sometimes based on real-life ones. This one was inspired by the Racer at Kennywood.

DOUBLE POST

And now for something a little more compact-

TYPHOON
This one's one of my best Steel Looping Coasters. If this one was built in real life, it'd be the only other coaster in the world with interlocking loops (The other being Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg). Anyway, it's fast, thrilling, and I think it looks nice.

Those high gs probably come from the first loop.

No worries, we all started out that way. I'll post something else soon. Hopefully it'll counter Typhoon's lukewarm reception...

OMFG SECOND DOUBLE POST-

And third track design submitted in a day. Anyway, here's a compact Standup Twister I cobbled together in an afternoon-

SHOCKWAVE
This one's based on the design of the Stand-up Coaster, Red Baron. I thought that one looked pretty cool, but was killed by its pretty poor ratings (5 excitement, 9 intensity, much nausea), so Shockwave was originally going to be a Twister version of that. I didn't quite do it however, so I modified it into its own coaster. And admittedly, I think it turned out OK for its original premise.
