I was unsure whether to post this here or in the RCT3 section of the forums, but I settled on here as I need reference pictures of the New Beast (The Thunder Valley Era) and mainly the area around it. I am trying to get this as close As I can in RCT3 and o do that I need your help. Can you please post pictures of The New Beast For my help. Thanks.

Anyway... On with the pictures!!!

The layout from two angles...

Working on supports from two angles. Bearing in mind I can't get the supports bang on due to the limits of RCT3, so I am splitting the difference and hope to recreate the area as much as I humanly can... Including Thunder Looper.

Image

Finished supports...

Image

And I hope to get the area as close as I can.

Image

I posted it here because I really need reference pictures and it will be good for the archive. If I can get it as close as I can tanks to your help I will be most grateful.

Worked on area theming. To make up for the supports, that are not that good in my opinion as they are only slightly like the real one.... I plan to do a really great effort on the area. I would love opinions.

The exit station in the foreground and the boarding one in the back....

Image

Just an extra to see the photo I used as reference... Still unfinished though....

Image

And...

Image

An overview... So far.

Image

And an onride to show what I still need to do.

Image

I really need comments on what I need to do to improve.... And I really need reference. Mainly of the area around Thunder Looper please.

That recreation is pretty much spot on! And in terms of what you need to do next, it's entirely down to you, and what year you want to put it in.
Thunder Looper Before/after Nemesis, or 1997 when ripsaw arrived?

I have worked more on the area, and this is the view you would have got while walking to the ride....

And a similar picture to another update... But what is strange about it?..
