^ Now, that would be nice Pineapple, and am looking forward to see if you really can give Fr3ak a run for his money....?? (not so sure about that yet, but please prove otherwise!!!)

Pity you don't like the bench so much, but yep, that's all in the game and indeed, just consider it as part of the challenge.. (it can never be fitted to everyone's likings, already am happy that JK is liking it and nobody else complained so far... :lol: )

Emergo :D

.....hmm... you think Mexico is actually the same as the US??? :blink: .???

Yeah, I remember it pretty well from when I was there (About 9 years ago). I was in Cancun to be exact, so it'll be based around there.

I definitely agree with Emergo when it comes to backpacking. You really have to leave the resorts behind and immerse yourself in the country. It's kind of like Japan. When someone says Japan, you're probably going to think of Tokyo and the big bustling cities, but it's much more than that. Travel companies have a way of... not telling you everything, to put it bluntly. They tell you to visit places that they help pay for. Not the ones where people make crafts with their hands, or where you can get fresh corn at the corner of a small town of a couple hundred people. Damn you, Travelocity!

^ Yep ClockwyrMyr, that must the holiday-site Cancun. And like many holiday-sites they are easily looking a bit the same everywhere. But Mexico does have many many other spots and "faces"also.
Anyway, it's looking really nice and also a part of Mexico, so looking forward to your entry which for sure will make me dream away about a few weeks of beautiful seaside vacation if it is centered around this one :D

@Fr3ak: I never meant to say that Pineapple "should not"or "could not" do anything; just that all possibilities are still completely open.
(and trying to give someone else a run for his money, for sure is a good spirit in a competition, :P )

Emergo :D

The Soapbox Durby Single Rail coaster?
:blink:
Er, uh, I mean, that is, I, ummm....
:doh:
Oh CRUMBS!
I KNEW I forgot SOMETHING!
:>
I guess I have to rework my
test park to include one.

(Wolfie drags his tail back to the drawing board.)
Good thing I like to build single rail coasters.
:phew:
I may not be able to enter, but I
created a park with the bench anyway.
Sorta like a warm-up session.

I like this bench BTW.
Great job Emergo!

I have got a very big problem...
My park is well underway and now I've got a black hole, 3 in a row!
I really have no idea how to fix them, so what should I do?

I want to turn it in, so I would appreciate any help.

Luigi

Edit: Even 4 in a row :'(

Wow!!

First rule: ALWAYS save your work regularly (under a new name!!), and especially before you start using a trainer
, so that you always can go back to an uncorrupted version without losing much work.

But that does not help you now.... :(

I've never had one myself yet, but from endless topics about it, I learned the following:

- apart from some rare exceptions, don't try to "repair" it, as mostly that only seems to cause even more black holes/problems.

- Sometimes it works to just build something over it (hiding them), but if it are more than 1, that won't be a terrific "solution" either.

- most people tell that if you just leave it for what it is and work on with the park, after some time the problem will solve itself and the holes will vanish after some time.
(so probably it can have to do with the game not being able to store a lot of uncommon changes at one time, while after some time it "levels"/straightens out by itself.)

Another thing I read is that it sometimes helps if you send the park to someone with an uncorrupted RCT. If that one opens it, lets it run a few minutes and then saves it again and sends it back, the problem often also is solved.

For now I think, just let the park run quite a time without paying attention to the black holes or coming near to them, and now and then make new saves of it.(To give the game the chance to straighten things up in it's internal information) Then see if, like with many others who reported about it, the problem solves itself.....

Until more magical solutions do come up,
wishing you lots ofl good luck, and really hope you can still turn in your park (would love to receive and see it!).

Emergo :D
