Fly Over Neverland

[Lost Boy]

I have posted a link in the Roller Coaster Tycoon thread to my newest, and best, Theme Park yet - "Neverland". This is a new video I made using a hidden feature of RCT3. Please visit and let me know what you think of the Park and the Video.

Re: Fly Over Neverland

Good video, although I'm not quite sure what these specific roller coasters have to do with neverland....I'm sure tycoon wouldn't let you do more specific. Nicely done.

Re: Fly Over Neverland

Each coaster (after all the game is Roller Coaster Tycoon so I made each one have a name appropriate to it's location. The high speed coaster at the back end of the Island is "Escape from Hook" and the tangled up one over by the volcano is "Hooks Knot". Others are "Lagoon Terror" and things like that. Coasters bring in the peeps. When I just had the island and some basic rides the peep count never went above a couple hundred, but now it's climbing toward 995 or so and they are even queueing up to row a boat over to Skull Rock and back, and that takes work!

LB, I was thinking. I noticed you have a sub ride. You should name that in association with the Tic Toc Crocodile and the mermaids if you have not done so . That would be neat in my opinion.

Re: Fly Over Neverland

Thanks for sharing the video! I got into RCTC awhile back and had to stop because I was getting totally obsessed with it! It's always neat to see other peoples projects! I wonder if applying for an imagineer job you could use these types of examples for your potential of becoming a CM? Just a thought!

Re: Fly Over Neverland

What CAN'T you do with that program. I've been pretty impressed by the shots of rides I've seen on this board.

Re: Fly Over Neverland

This Park is actually the third version of Neverland. I kept making it bigger and learning new things that I couldn't incorporate into the Park unless I tore most of it down, so I would just start over. Since I am retired and only actually "work" two days a week, I do have plenty of time, if I am not going out somewhere. Neverland took about 1 evenings work to carve out and then about two weeks of constant tweaking. The last thing was adding the "Clouds" to Never Peak. In regards to the sub ride, since there is a land bridge now I couldn't use it to go all the way around, so I just left it out.

If you look closely in the video at the part where the camera goes underwater you will see some fish and then after the camera comes out of the water, near the shoreline you will see a shark swimming around.

This was a fun project. Now I have to back to the Harry Potter Park and try to make a cool video of that huge Park.

Re: Fly Over Neverland

Actually this is the third version in less that two weeks. I made a few mistakes and it would have been to complicated to correct them, especially when I noticed that the Island was too small. So I made another version and then another. Since I am retired and only "work" a couple of days a week, I have a lot of spare time so I keep busy mentally by doing this among other things. I also go out walking a lot as well. The sub ride was only in the first and second versions. I did not put it in this version as there is now a land bridge as an entrance so the sub can't go around the Island. It also takes too long. Instead I just let the flying camera kind of drift into the water and back out for effect more than anything else. Did you all notice the fish and the shark? Those were surprises that I was glad the camera caught. The NeverShark is very elusive and cannot always be seen. The name of the mountain with "clouds" around it is "NeverPeak" and it plays a big role in the sequel, "Peter Pan in Scarlet" that has just been released as the "Only Official Sequel Book" by the children's hospital that still owns the rights to Peter Pan. I have read it and is worth the read.
