The new bench should be like a 256x256 park with all his recreations built. I know it wouldn't really BE a bench, but it's just my idea for Steve's next project.

Nah, he should do either the Belle Vue Bobs (Fred Church's only coaster to grace the U.K. but demolished in 1970) or better still the Venice Giant Dipper. It's quite interesting to look at the Venice and Ocean Park rides as they show various similarities with the Revere Cyclone. Or do both, since the Venice dipper is very close in shape and layout to the Belle Vue Bobs. Or maybe he should do the Kiddie Bobs that sat alongside the Bobs at Riverview park in Chicago for 10 years before being replaced by the Flying Turns. It packed a drop curve, fan curve, swoop curve and 2 crossover hills into its tight layout and must have been a real thriller.

Still no news from Steve though...

Finally, news from Steve by letter:

Since the death of my father, a great deal of my time has not been my own. It has been incumbent upon me to administrate his affairs [he goes on]. Needless to say, RCT has been far from my mind, and not at the top [of] my list of a limited schedule.

With all of this taking up his time, I think it'll be a while before any finished parks can be uploaded.

That's terrible. I hope he feels better soon. =)

p.S. did you mention him to me to see if he remembered me? And sorry i havent sent you the stuff yet. I'll get it to you by tomorrow.

Would anybody be interested in testing the Ocean Park bench for us? It's RCT2 only and you'll need some of fisherman's custom scenery items, but it would be good to have people's opinions on playability etc.

did you mention him to me to see if he remembered me? And sorry i havent sent you the stuff yet. I'll get it to you by tomorrow.

I think so but I have to send him a letter soon anyway so I'll do it then to make sure. I look forward to receiving Boblo Island, CC!

A very Happy New Year to you all! Luketh has successfully opened the scenario and has kindly agreed to test it. If anyone else is interested, please pm me. coastercrazy, do you still have Steve's scenario for Boblo?

@mushroomer:

It's RCT2 only....

I'd like to try, too. I'm getting a bit bored lately so I want to do something that will spice up my life for a few days.

lol, took long enough, that's for sure.
