Assuming you have a default install, the directory is:

C:Program FilesAtariRollerCoaster Tycoon® 3tracksTrackedRides

I am assuming you mean for Custom Tracked Rides (CTRs) like the Eurofighter and Shy Guy coaster he has made?

Cheers for the feedback :)

I'm quite liking the idea of a tilting coaster... think Ill have a play around tonite and see what I can come up with. I decided to have a height limit of 120ft in the park so will have to go down.....

Kooper there should be a readme in the file you download that specifies which files go where :)

Edit : I have created a coaster im fairly happy with and its all supported. Need to theme it and surrounding area, add sum support rides then Ill up load some pics hopefully at the weekend

---- Post Info Added ----

Ok first pics of the abandoned Industrial area. I still need to add more theming and I need to think of a name for the coaster. What do you guys think?

Very cool But a theme transition cant just be a differant path.
Mabye a big tin arc overthe path, and big oak trees around it.
Can I ask witch catwalks did you use?

In The Night Garden themed-area. Quite a popular TV show for the young people. On rides a carousel, kiddie-coaster and chair-swing could work. :)

Dont think I would have the CS for that!? Like the ride ideas though :) What about a circus themed area? Too cliched?

Yeah I'd say so. What about an area themed to something like Bug's Life except with people. So huge animals around the regular sized peeps?

that could work... you've got giant bugs in the game.

Liking it so far.

It depends what program you use, but as far as I'm aware you save them in RCT3 under billboards.

Presuming you have Saoked & Wild installed. :)

I just knock up an image in paint and save in in my documents. when you place the billboard in RCT just brows to find the image.

Yeah I would definitely recommend it.
It's really great and with user made scenery and now rides its getting bigger than ever!
Have a look on ataricommunity.com for the most active boards and loads of park and ride threads.
That's where most of the custom scenery will be released to as well.

all I can say about RCT3 is:
It is both the best and worst game ever made.
It the most adictive game I have ever played, one that I will never tire of. :mrgreen:
But it is also one of the worst games for frame rates I have ever played. :cry:

You will need a seriously fast PC to get the best out of RCT3. But don't let that put you off!
