Bayside Boardwalk [Update 4- Mid-Season Check-Up]

[infiniteblue]

Many of you might remember my old park thread that I last updated in mid-July (check here (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9975689#post9975689)). Now, you might also recall that I had to stop the park because my file wouldn't open. That issue was actually fixed, but I just lost interest in the game for a while. Now, since I've got about a month break between semesters, I feel like I shouldn't just let the park die. It really is one of my better parks, and it should continue. I will attempt to keep the same story going (as seen in the previous thread), and the park will get somewhat regular updates throughout January. I'll try to keep it going during spring semester, but it won't be as regular.

Bayside Boardwalk
Season 4
Update 1: Park Preview

Hello everyone! I know it's been quite a while, but Bayside Boardwalk is back in business. We had a bit of a rough time since our last season ended; the construction of a few new rides took much longer than anticipated, and we had to hold off on opening the park for a fourth season for quite some time. Also, we had some proposals to fight off; there was talk of building a large mall/hotel complex in the area after the river, and there was also an attempt to buy the park and make it into a residential development. However, we stopped all those attempts and were able to continue with the park. Right now, there are a few major changes to discuss. First off, the entrance complex has been completely redone; the old buildings seemed to dominate the entrance area too much. Secondly, the reflecting pool in the middle of Bayside Boulevard has been redone; new waterfall fountains have been added and it has been split in the middle. And finally, the newest rollercoaster in the park, Huracàn, has been completed aside from some minor theming. It has new cars, too; Intamin has given us some experimental sit-down cars. However, I'm sure that you all are tired of reading this. Let's get to some pictures, shall we?

The new entrance buildings look much nicer.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u1screen2.jpg
You can see both waterfalls that have been added to the reflecting pool.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u1screen3.jpg
These waterfalls are actually quite tall; about 4 stories in fact.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u1screen4.jpg
Solar Flare has two minor changes; it has only one car per train, like all the other X-Car Launched coasters, and they are now painted all black.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u1screen5.jpg
SuperSoaker is getting quite the makeover; more water events, a new soundtrack, and a firey new paint job. It will be renamed, but we aren't sure of the new name.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u1screen6.jpg
Huracàn is the tallest coaster in the park; it just edges Solar Flare by 8 feet.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u1screen7.jpg
The theming is happening while the coaster is testing; it mainly consists of rock structures and water fountains.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u1screen8.jpg
And here we have the photograph that will be on one of our park's postcards. It's quite nice, and it shows off enough of Huracàn to be a great teaser.


That's all I have for you today. After all, this is just a preview of what's to come. The next update will be the park's opening day. These pictures are actually from about a month ago, so you can be sure that much more construction has been taking place. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed the first major update in the reborn Bayside Boardwalk.

This is an awesome park. Can't wait to see more!!

[Starwaris]

Good job!

[Egypt2112]

I think this should be in the spotlight. Could we get more ariel views of the park?

[Doug]

Great to see it back! Can't wait for all that's coming.

[Egypt2112]

The third to last picture has some weird light blue and white outlining.

[Adamb241]

Nice balance of scenery and rides. I really like the rustic look it has. Good Job.

[Awsomedude137]

That is awesome! can't wait to see more pics!

[Ice101]

Wow! This park made one incredible return! The new entrance is very stylish and the MegaLite is by far one of the best Intamin coasters I have seen in RCT3. I really like it. Although I have to say, that though the theming is executed extremely well, it seems like the landscaping was forgotten. I don't think that it should be engulfed by vegetation but just change up the ground textures a bit more and it will look more realistic. But overall this is turning out to be amazing.

[Gragity]

Awesome! Can't wait to get a full view of the park :)

[DxJam]

Can someone tell me where to get those paths <.<? and the waterfall thing.

BTW, really nice park =D

[Egypt2112]

Yea, where did you get the waterfalls? In the 3rd and 2nd to last?

[SPR]

This is a really cool park! I am still working on mine.

[infiniteblue]

This is an awesome park. Can't wait to see more!!
Thanks!

Good job!
Thanks!

I think this should be in the spotlight. Could we get more ariel views of the park?
You should see some more aerial views of the park soon. And thanks!

Great to see it back! Can't wait for all that's coming.
You won't have to wait long, hopefully. Thanks!

Nice balance of scenery and rides. I really like the rustic look it has. Good Job.
Thanks very much. That balance is really why I like this one. It's simple, but effective.

That is awesome! can't wait to see more pics!
Thanks!

First I get a huge feedback post on Atari, then on RCTlounge. Thanks! I really appreciate any constructive criticism.

Awesome! Can't wait to get a full view of the park :)
Thanks! It shouldn't be long before you see some full park views.

Can someone tell me where to get those paths <.<? and the waterfall thing.

BTW, really nice park =D
Those paths are from DasMatze's Covers and More set, and the waterfalls are from Old-Spice's beta Waterfall Set. You can find them both on Atari. And thanks for the comment!

This is a really cool park! I am still working on mine.
Thanks!

Sorry for the lack of updates in (geez, it's almost been a month now, hasn't it) quite some time. I blame No Limits; it's just so hard to make a good coaster. Not at all like in RCT3. Shouldn't be a problem now; I really want to get this season going.

Bayside Boardwalk
Season 4
Update 2- Opening Day 2009

Hello everyone! You may all have been waiting patiently (or not, I don't know) for some more information about Bayside Boardwalk, and I'm ready to give it to you. Silly me for thinking that the major construction would have been done shortly after the preview update. Anyway, that's really not important now. What is important is that this season's opening day brought in more guests than the three previous opening days combined. It isn't hard to see why, either. For the thrill seekers, we have added a phenomenal Intamin Mega-Lite called Huracàn, and for every member of the family we have added new rides and made minor changes to familiar ones. Let me now show you all some highlights from the Opening Day festivities!

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s1.jpg
The new entrance billboards have finally been installed. We certainly have one heck of a graphic designer working for us.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s2.jpg
The fountain pattern in the reflecting pools have been modified. Now, it looks much more extravagant and grand.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s3.jpg
Solar Flare is just as popular as ever; the new paintjob is really noticeable here. The outer rails are now yellow; it makes it seem a little brighter.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s4.jpg
As expected, Huracàn has been our most popular attraction. There is another train of satisfied guests.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s5.jpg
This is one of the most exciting elements this coaster has to offer. The crossover is really intense and features an insane head-chopper.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s6.jpg
To the left of Huracàn, we have built a brand new coffee shop and restaurant. Simply entitled "Bayside Café", it features some beautiful views of the ocean. It certainly seems pleasant, doesn't it?

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s7.jpg
Well, as you can see, this isn't your ordinary coffee shop. There is another thrill on this rooftop; a thrilling Disk'o ride. Take in some beautiful views; that is, if you can keep your eyes open.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s8.jpg
SuperSoaker has been renamed. However, it really only has a new suffix. Now, it is SuperSoaker XL; unfortunately, the new water effects haven't been installed yet.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u2s9.jpg
Huracàn really towers over the entire park. You can see it from nearly every part of the park.


Well, that is all I have for you right now. Next time, we will have a special update featuring the park's newest rollercoaster. Prepare yourself for the fury of the storm: Huracàn! Also: expect a major announcement regarding the future of Bayside Boardwalk. See you next time!

[Starwaris]

Woah! Impressive, very impressive!

[Egypt2112]

Ther stormrunner is looking outstanding!

[Adamb241]

Cool update, I can't believe I missed this post! I really love all the detail and everything in the park.

[infiniteblue]

[Replies will follow the update. I'm going to try something new today.]

Bayside Boardwalk
Season 4
Update 3- Huracàn

Welcome back to Bayside Boardwalk, everyone! It's been nearly a week since the park first opened for Season 4, and we have had record attendance nearly every day. Today, we are officially unveiling the coaster that has catapulted our attendance levels to unimaginable heights. I'm not going to bore you with any pointless stats; what I will tell you is that the first hill is 110ft and the coaster hits a top speed of 55mph. The coaster also features three overbanked turns and various headchopper effects created by the scenery around the coaster. It is an Intamin Mega-Lite that we have named Huracàn. So, now we move on to the pictures.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s1.jpg
The station building for this coaster is one of the most striking buildings in the park.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s2.jpg
From the top of the lift, you can see nearly all of the boardwalk. Also, note the wooden structure covering part of the first turn.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s3.jpg
This is a really nice coaster; it's just tall enough so that you can see it no matter where you stand in the park. You can also see some more headchopper scenery elements in this shot.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s4.jpg
This element makes a fly-by right next to the brake run. The cross-over hills are also quite intense; the support structure creates a nice close call situation with the train.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s5.jpg
A major feature of this coaster is the interaction with the scenery. There are a few different rock structures throughout the course, and there are a few different headchopper sections and rocky tunnels as well.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s6.jpg
Here you can see the second wooden tunnel section. Even in this section, which has a lower average speed, this creates quite a thrilling experience.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s7.jpg
You can really see the support jungle here. Near the lower sections of the ride, the supports really surround it.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s8.jpg
This coaster also features Intamin's magnetic brake system, which is used to gently slow down the train after the intense thrills it offers.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u3s9.jpg
And finally, we have an overview shot of the coaster.

Now, I realize that it may have been better to post this update with a video of the rollercoaster. However, the video is still being filmed, so it will have to wait until the next update.

Last time, I promised you all that I would have a major announcement regarding the future of this park. I do have all the details on this, and I will be revealing them right now. We have harnessed the rights to build on the land behind Solar Hills and Solar Flare, and we will be taking advantage of this in the coming years. The major announcement relating to this is the fact that we will be getting an experimental B&M coaster; it is experimental because it will be the first LIM launched B&M coaster ever. I don't have any more details on this, though.

Thanks! But it's really a giga coaster with StormRunner cars.

Cool update, I can't believe I missed this post! I really love all the detail and everything in the park.
Thank you very much!

[Doug]

Looks really realistic! Good job!

[disneyguy100]

this looks awesome!!!

[Egypt2112]

What did you use for the supports for the boardwalk and the path for the boardwalk. Also was were the suports you used in the 4th to last pic?

The stormrunner layout is cool!

[Starwaris]

The coaster is looking awesome! What cs are those VERY tall palm trees btw.?

[Ice101]

The coater is amazing. I really like MegaLites but you just took it to the next level. Great job.

My only comments are to drop a few of the lift hill supports. I think it would be a nice touch.

[Plokoon111]

Still looking great!

Bayside Boardwalk
Season 4
Update 4- Mid-Season Check-Up

Hello again, and welcome to this brief Season 4 update. Kevin here, once again bringing pictures of Bayside Boardwalk for you all to look at. This is a simple update, only intended to bring everyone up to speed and let everyone know what exactly has happened. Now, it's been almost 5 months since the park opened, and record attendance and revenue numbers have been posted. But that isn't the most important development the park has had. We were closed for almost two months; this was intended to give us time to purchase and construct a modular theater building. To be honest, the building is quite large, and may seem out of place. However, right now there is only plans to keep it in the park for three seasons. But enough with the talk; I think it's time to show the pictures.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s1.jpg

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s2.jpg
The theater occupies the space that the original Bayside Café stood in. The first floor and second floor theater is exclusively for live entertainment; including music, plays, and even the occasional stand-up comic. The third floor theater is our film room. The posters out front are more for decoration than anything; many of the films won't actually be shown.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s3.jpg
This is the view from the roof of the theater. The roof is also an observation deck; you can get some spectacular views up here.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s4.jpg
The queue for Rooftop Robot has a new wooden structure; it makes it look a lot different for not a lot of money. Also, you can see the theater again.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s5.jpg
Just another shot of Solar Flare; everything is running fine with this coaster.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s6.jpg
It may be a little difficult to tell, but the supports on Solar Flare have been streamlined a little bit.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s7.jpg
The lift supports on Huracàn have been tweaked slightly; there aren't as many points that are connected to the track.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s8.jpgThe BeachHouse has gotten a new head chef; his style is a lot different than the previous chef's; expect to see a lot more Southwestern food coming out of the kitchen.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/infinit3blue/RollerCoaster%20Tycoon%203/Bayside%20Boardwalk/Season%204/s4u4s9.jpgAnd the Boardwalk is still going strong; everyone seems to love the flat rides; but the SuperSoaker is strangely unpopular.

That is all I have right now; I know a video for Huracàn was promised, but our contract with the camera crew expired. We should have a video for you by next update. Thanks for taking a look!

Thanks! The supports for the boardwalk are BigBurger's Timber set, and the path is from Shyguy's Water World set. And the supports are from Moby's Steel Jungle.

The coaster is looking awesome! What cs are those VERY tall palm trees btw.?
Thanks! The palm trees are from Old-Spice's tree expansion pack.

The coater is amazing. I really like MegaLites but you just took it to the next level. Great job.

Awesome park with awesome rides!

[Egypt2112]

That is awesome! My computer would crash definately!

I really love the coasters. The layout of the park, the boar......I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!!.............!!!!!!

[Doug]

Looks fantastic. Great work!

What sets did you use for the light blue stucco walls for pics 1 & 2. They're rather unique with the grid lines.

[MaistroDavid]

wow!!
good job!

[BRTeller]

Nothing comes close to the pure detail, and the real life feeling this park brings. I can't even start to begin on how well this park is. I look through almost all of the RCT3 parks, I even saw your first post on it. I thought it was nice, but it takes a lot for me to come out and complement a RCT3 park. This park is well deserving. Haven't seen many like it, but fortunately at this site a few other ones are almost as good. But this one is by far my favorite I've seen during all of the RCT3 series, and possibly the RCT1 and 2 series. I'll also like to point out I've been in the RCT community for more then 6 years so when I say what I just said. I mean it.

Bottom line, never seen a park that actually could pull off being a real park. Supports, everything, are magnificent.
