Evergreen Gardens has the largest attendance goal yet and also the biggest park to build in. Part of the challenge is managing that size and the maze of paths to create park that fits in nicely with the surroundings. In part 1, well build 2 coasters and some other rides to get the revenue going so we can continue to expand!

Sprightly Park has the best collection of rides starting out of any scenario in the original game. Its a nice collection of coasters and other rides with interesting buildings on a nicely sloped landscape. Lets build out this park with other older styled rides to complement the existing work.

Three Monkeys Park has the iconic triple duelers and a ton more space to work with. Well only do a little bit of modification to the coasters and spend the rest of the time building out the rest of the map. Theres lots of new rides from the expansion pack to work with so theres no shortage of choice for things to build.

Were continuing the stream archives of our Pier Park series, which is really a whole English seaside village project. In this series, were building a Seaside Park set in the UK... but this is more than just a single park. Were going to have a Pier with rides, a seaside town and village, a harbor, transportation networks, and a large Blackpool Pleasure Beach style park in the center of it all.
Todays episode is a bit of a mixed bag. Well work on a variety of things including the structure of the of the pier as well as the railing and fencing around the edge. Well also do a little bit of real life show and tell with some of my coaster collection.

Trinity Islands is the last of the easy scenarios in the original RCT. As the name suggests, there are 3 small islands to build on. Well try and continue to build realistically and keep out of the water as much as possible while developing a pleasant little park.

Thunder Rock is the final scenario of the original game and provides us a giant rock in the middle of the desert to build a park. Were going to do quite a bit of work on this one including a couple big coasters and a huge amount of landscape modification. While its not a challenging scenario goal to win, the main goal will be to make the map look good.

Future World is the first of the maps that tends a little more towards a fantasy setting with a Martian landscape and a big area to build. Were going to still go for a realistic touch while building out the full park with a number of rides and attraction. This is going to be a 4 part series our longest yet!
