Speaker Objects

Loud Speakers have been added to both the list of Path Extras and to the list of Scenery Items. Speaker Objects can be used just like any other scenery ele- ment, except you may also assign a sound file to the object, adjust the volume of the speaker, and turn it off or on. Adding speakers throughout the length of a track ride, or along the path of a themed area allows you to give your park a

more immersive feel.

Passport Stations

Listed among the Path Extras is an element called Passport Stations. Peeps are given a passport booklet as they enter the park. If peeps have their passport booklet stamped by the required number of stations, they win a prize! You can specify how many stations are required by using the Passport Station control panel. The ideal strategy for using Passport Stations is to place them far apart at

the far reaches of your park, giving peeps a reason to visit all areas of your amusement park.

Terrain Tools

Waterfalls

Added to the Terrain Tools buttons is a selection for creating waterfalls. See “Creating Waterfalls” on page 14.

USING THE ADDED FEATURES

Tutorials

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! provides tutorials for several of the added features. Tutorials include how to construct Waterfalls, Basic Pools, and Advanced Pools; how to customize pool facilities; how to create laser shows and whale shows; how to customize-design laser effects and laser images. The tutorials can be found in the main menus of the game.

Using the Control Key to Build Elevated Scenery and Structures

An improved method for building elevated portions buildings and scenery (such as roofs) can now be accomplished using the Control key. Use the following steps to learn how to do this.

After you’ve built the walls of a structure, build the roofline attached to the top of the wall. This is accomplished in the same way as with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, where you first select a roof piece from the Scenery Structures menu, and then position the pointer where you want to place the roof piece, hold the Shift key and nudge the

mouse up until the piece is positioned correctly, and, finally, click to place it there. Now click to place it there. To add another roof piece at the same height, move the pointer so it touches the previously placed roof-piece, and then press the Control key. This action assigns that height to the Control key so when you are placing any additional scenery items in your park and hold down the Control key, it will be placed at that height. This is particularly useful for building large expanses of roof and platforms.

The Fireworks MixMaster™ from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 has been expanded to allow you to create water and laser shows among other things. The improved RCT3 MixMaster™ allows you to add not just fireworks, but now also add water jets and lasers to the
