I think RCT is a fun game for two reasons. The primary one being that it fills in during the off season better than nothing, in my opinion. The other is that it lets you modify our park w/out having to face the real facts of life. I know some like to take RCT and try to model parks as closely as possible. But, think wouldn't it be cool to have both Shockwave and Superman (without SW's roughness, at least to some, and being able to add a few more elements to Sups)? Or, adding a 4D wiithout having to worry about nasty bankruptcies. Or, building coasters w/out having to worry about neighbors or height restrictions? Of course, I also think its important to maintain the essence of the park. (Throw out everything and would anyone possibly be able to recognize SFGAm?)
I am curious though, as to how others might add/modify to our park if you were modeling with RCT? Also, what do you think are the backbone rides of the park that you would definitely think need to remains (or comes back) that really get at the core of our park? In my opinion rides like Bull, AE (remember this is RCT which allows you to easily "fix" rides). Whizzer?, the carousel and reflecting pool, Viper should definitely stay. But, what about Vu or Batman? Of course, a coaster enthusiast might say keep them all, just add more. Another cool thing that RCT allows is to bring back rides from the past (like SW). But, what flats would you want to see broght back?
Please don't get me wrong, I've loved GAm for a number of decades and have been a season ticket holder for longer than I can remember. That's why I love RCT, because it helps me to bring back so many great memories.
Anyhow, I was just wondering what you would do if you were modeling our park under those conditions (by the by, for those who know RCT I almost always play in sandbox mode which gives me an unlimited supply of cash so I can concentrate on building the ideal park and recall great memories).
