Welcome to the next episode of "Fix My Coaster Layout"!
In partnership with MickanMan's RCT Station, we are reworking user submitted RCT1 or RCT2 layouts with suggestions on how to improve things like flow or realism. We'll review the original and go on a step by step build process for the suggestion. This may include scenery and landscaping in some instances too. In the following episode, we'll review each other's layout attempts and move on to the next one.
Today, Nighthawk239 gives us an Arrow corkscrew coaster with a pretty neat racing section in a rather compact layout. We're going to use this layout as inspiration to make a more realistic option that still hits some of the highlights of Nighthawk's design.
If you'd like to submit a layout, please send us the track file or park file to fixmycoasterlayout@gmail.com. We can receive .td4, .sv4, .td6, .sv6, and .park formats.
Check out Andrew at MickanMan's RCT Station for his attempt at this layout and to see the video for Episode 05:

Coaster Canyon gives us a fairly frustrating landscape to work with in a deep canyon that runs the length of the park. This is similar to Whispering Cliffs, just with more space to build and a very different environment. Lets do our best to build out the park in a semi-realistic way with some nice coasters and landscaping.

Canary Mines is a bit of a rehash of Millennium Mines from the original game but with a little more terrain and two mirrored dive coasters that will be great to generate some cash. Lets fill in this map with some bauxite themed attractions.

Big Pier is a terrible scenario! With no ability to manipulate landscape or add scenery, were left with rides, shops, and pathways as the only items to add to the map over top of the water. While it takes a little bit to find the right direction, well eventually start to turn this into something that feels halfway decent despite the limitations.

Crumbly Woods is one of the most developed parks weve had to start with in our scenario series so far. The coasters arent totally awful, but were going to adjust them to fit our needs and also give us something to provide us a bit more cash. This ended up being one of the most fun scenarios to date so come along as we build out the park!
In our video, I reference the Arrow Launched Loop hacking video. Check out that tutorial here:

Magic Quarters is big park. Were given 4 quadrants, a train, a castle, and a park value goal that requires us to build out the map. Lets try and give this park a full build-out with some theming and a few different areas. This is a long build so buckle up for a multi-part video!

Thunderstorm Park places us in a rainy climate with a big map and a giant pyramid in the middle of it to give us a bit of space for rain-protected rides. Were going to take inspiration from Fantasy Island in the UK to build a carnival type park with some minimal theming and high density. Come along for the build!
