RCJ's Finished Scenarios

General Info
Let me know if this page is too wordy.

Featuring everything you could possibly, conceivably, ever need to know about my track designs. Here's what you'll see:

Excitement Score (will vary based on location and scenery). Intensity Score Nausea Score Stall Conditions (may include "*"): The conditions under which a train could fail to complete the circuit. Crash Conditions (may include "**", "***"): The conditions under which a ride could crash. Other Notes: Any other pertinent information.

"*": Indicates that stall conditions have not been tested for all car number combinations. "**": Indicates that otherwise nonexistent crash conditions may depend on stall conditions. "***": Indicates no crash conditions observed. A disclaimer for my own insurance.

Important: While trying to implement one of these track designs, you might get one of three error messages: If you should see one of these error messages, don't write me off just yet. Go download the scenario file that corresponds to the park in which it was first built. Once there, study the terrain, because I guarantee you, all of those error messages have something to do with the terrain. Figure out the high points and low points of the track design, take note of how it interacts with the terrain, and then landscape accordingly.
 * Can't position this here...
 * Can't build this here: too high for supports!
