The premiere contest in RCT2 is back! New Element's Head2Head contest occurs every 3 years and showcases the best the game has to offer as teams of builders compete with their parks against one another.
We're two for two on parks with a Donkey Kong theme and it's great to see a very different take from the last park. Built by nin, JK, mamarillas, and Hex, this park maximizes space and includes some well crafted landscaping, rides, and a couple of incredible pixel art signs. Come along for a tour!

The first scenario that adds a little bit of a challenge to do realistically not a lot of flat ground nor accessible spaces to build. But thats part of the challenge, isnt it? Lets get after trying to increase our park value by improving whats already in the park as well as adding new things.

Ivory Towers starts off as a bit of a mess with vandalism everywhere and a couple poor rides. But theres a lot of room for improvement despite the terrain so well give a shot to improving the park with some new rides and revitalized existing ones.

This is the raw footage of the thirtieth livestream for my Andrelczyk Amusement Academy series, where Im teaching how to build realism in RCT2. Were floundering a bit trying to find a good area to work on, but today well tackle what was meant to be the Ferris wheel on top of the hill at the entrance. We make some changes along the way, but Im much more satisfied with the new solution.
This park build is a multi-part series over the next AAAs. If you have suggestions or park thoughts, join or Discord to talk about them or leave a comment here.

Haunted Harbor is one of the quintessential RCT scenarios and one Ive been looking forward to since we started this series. We already have a great little park and a lot of space to expand with some older style coasters and a really nice atmosphere.

Pacific Pyramids is a fairly easy scenario with lots of land available and a whole 4 years to complete the goal. We struggle a little bit getting the creative juices flowing, but theres some interesting opportunities for coasters and other rides throughout the map.

Roman Village gives us one of the most themed maps to start a scenario and a somewhat tight space to squeeze in enough for 1500 guests. Well have to balance compact ride installs while keeping the Roman vibe for a successful build. Come join us!
