Welcome to Smooch Hour! Despite the weird name, this is a really nice coaster design. The project comes out of a contest held on the New Element Discord by Dr. Dirt which involved a multi-part challenge with different builders for each. The coaster layout was a rework of a pre-built game layout. In this instance, Luketh built the layout-- a rework of Crush Hour. Narc did the Area Layout, and Xtreme did the rest. The result is a fantastic Mediterranean themed area with excellent realistic details. Enjoy this review and download it for yourself below!

Weve headed into the Corkscrew Follies / Added Attractions expansion park and were not slowing down! Whispering Cliffs is the first in the series and a bit of a challenge with the size of the map limiting the type of rides that can be added to it. Well squeeze in a couple coasters while also trying to make the cliffside look a bit nicer.

Original stream date: January 22, 2022
This is the raw footage of the twenty-ninth livestream for my Andrelczyk Amusement Academy series, where Im teaching how to build realism in RCT2. Were into the Boston area now, and although were struggling to get the composition of buildings right, theres a good start on laying out the space and developing the docks. Some topics today include:
- Starter architecture
- Path type considerations
- Docks and seawall.
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. Download the park from todays stream here:

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.
Before we pivot to the UK concept, these first few streams are focused on a Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk style park. In todays episode, were working on an arcade building, which has some Carnival type games attached to the side of it. Well add detailing to these and the building as a whole.

Rainbow Valley is the most infamous of the original game scenarios. With the inability to adjust the landscape in both geometry or texture and the inability to remove any trees, its a challenging map made more difficult by our goal of creating semi-realistic maps with coasters that flow well. Lets jump in and tackle the toughest scenario of the original game!

Jolly Jungle is our largest build to date with a big swath of jungle to build upon. Well go for a giant waterfall element in the center surrounded by lots of rides and theming. Come along for this multi-part build!

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!

Todays episode kicks off the current layout of the map that will continue through to our current live streams. Were building a small pier park, akin to Brighton Pier or one of the many at Blackpool. Well start with a Jet Star II and expand out from there.

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!
