Well, no TomorrowLand floats my boat. I never really went there too much, but I heard it was quite fun. FrontierLand is always my favorite area for the Big Thunder Mountain Railway. Speaking of which, will you be making a mountain for BTMR? I would love that thing if it were in the mountain! One more question: Will you be using a trainer to merge the tracks together at the station (You know, have two seperate loading stations and they merge onto the track?)? I'll stop asking questions now...

BTMR? The things I need to learn!
Here's a great oportunity for me to ask a burning question. I know how (in general) to merge tracks, but I have never been able to figure out why people do it. Can you explain the goal when merging tracks, and I'll try to put it into the park. So far I am going to add a minetrain coaster to Rocky Thunder Mountain Railroad, which will be a version of the classic Disney ride.

I'm glad you like Frontiereland. Here is a sneek peak of my first ever crack at a western theme. I am really trining to catch the Disney feel in this area.

Well, it's very hard to explain, but I saw there is a trainer that actually allows you to "merge" roller coaster tracks together. It has to be done carefully, as it may result in the roller coaster (Not the game) in crashing a bit. So actually, I somewhat recommend only making a seperate decommissioned station with a different Mine Train. Also, for the design of the Mine Train coaster, I'd make it have a few semi-useless banks back and forth to simulate an exciting bumpy ride. BTMR stands for Big Thunder Mountain Railway. Or in this case, it would mean Rocky Thunder Mountain Railway. Though I would recommend a different name, as thunder can't really be rocky... How about Giga Thunder Mountain Railway?

P.S. Here's a video to help get some ideas for the Railway:

Pardon the darkness at the beginning and the screaming. Camera is smooth, so I bet that'll help a fair bit.

Nice. Thank you. I'll try out the track creations with dormant rides in 8cars and see how that goes. If I can do it, it'll look amazing.

How's Rocky Mountain Thunder Railway?

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. =P

For a different name, I'd just go with Big Thunder Mountain. Only the Disneyland and Magic Kingdom versions are called Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The rest are called Big Thunder Mountain. The darkness at the beginning is cause the rides starts in a mine shack, and you go down into a tunnel from there, without seeing the outside till you go off the chainlift. At the third chainlift, you're in a tunnel where the rocks are about to fall on you, then you launch out as a "last second escape" feeling.

Is there a chance you'll be recreating the Big Thunder Mountain trains?

I'm not yet adept enough in ridemaker to do rollercoaster trains. Actually, I'm not adept enough in my 3D generator either. I have a track plan for BTMR and I think I'll follow it, unless I can find one for Everest, which might make more sense here because I am focusing on the Rockies which are closer to Everest than the Badlands.

Here we go: The second to last area of the park, then it's on to revamps, beautification, staffing, and reseting rides ect... then... well we'll see. There's tonnes of pics here of Frontiereland including the new ROCKY MOUNTAIN THUNDER RAILWAY with a gold mine que building and snow capped mts. I really like this ride, but as usual, I will listen to any and all feedback. Enjoy...




Here it is neked.

Your Frontierland looks great, but is that Sky Diver going to be a real ride or just scenery?

Woo-Hoo! I'm today's top poster!
