Top Thrill Dragster RCT3 Recreation

Here is the video to my completed recreation:

I made it close as possible to the real thing, with the limitations of scenery and RCT3 and such, and this is the best I could come up with. People just LOVE my station :)

Here is the complete thread, from beginning to end:

I haven't even finished watching your video, and it just blows my mind TTD4Life! A hell of a job on it!!

That's really cool. It must have taken you a ton of time.

Stellar ;)

I started it in mid-June, and I just made that video yesterday, so it took me quite a while (well, I lost RCT3 for a month, so minus a month :))

I'm really thinking about doing each coaster @ CP. I had Magnum up next, but that won't be for a little while. Time to create my own works of art :)

Wow! Awesome job. I bow down to you. haha.

Must have been a lot of hard work. It looks a lot like the real ride, so congrats on the nice job.

I'd love to see more recreations from you.

Wow, pretty awesome.

I like how the handyman just walks into the concrete on the station and disappears into it.

I wonder how long it would take to re-create Cedar Point in RCT3 if a couple people worked on it separately and then put it all together at the end.

Very impressive!

^Well.. he has those invisible powers don't ya know.. :)

The exit ramp had to go underthere to make it look... well not crappy.. and those wall pieces are walk throughable... hence... superhuman handyman.

A few people have made all of CP before, very nicely might I add. I'll see if I can look it up.

Okay there's no way you did that...;) It's sweet I have no clue how you made that station on it or anything like that... But why didn't you use the actual dragster coaster to make it with??? Other than that great job!!!

I was thinking the same thing about the actual dragster coaster TThrillD420, but other than that AWESOME!

The 'Stormrunner' coaster has acceleration, the "Stratacoaster' track doesn't. The SR has more elements and a smoother feel then the Strata also. I wanted the truest feel of the real thing as possible. I would have LOVED to have used the Stratacoaster because the trains are exactly the same as TTD, but in my eyes, SR is as close to as real as it can get.

Awesome recreation, man, wicked awesome. I need to get me RCT3 one of these days on a comp that can handle it and make the whole park! Ha, gotta love CP addictions, eh? :)

I never knew such a thing was possible in RCT3. With the limitations the game puts on recreations, you seemed to pack in the detail, great job.

Wow.... Thats excellent! Awesome work!!

Edit: Add to favourites. :D

That's "Absolutely Amazing!" :)

Amazing work. Of course I am stuck here at home, with the RCT3 disc, but no box to get the serial number off of. But after seeing that, I might go spend the 20 dollars again just to get a working copy. But I am impressed.

Ok I dont know anything about RCT3. So for give me for this dumb question.

How you get the actual TD sighn with the radar on it. Did you have to load into the game or is it already on it.

wow woW wOW WOW WOW!!!

Freaking awsome work!!! As one of the biggest Dragster fans on PB, I shake your hand with great pleasure.:)

Love the brakes and the station.......perfect!Would have been cooler to have the christmas tree and lights on the tower and have them countdown, but oh well.:) *** Edited 8/18/2006 1:43:07 AM UTC by TTD 120mph***

redwings: You load it from your computer. Thats how I got all the signs on there.

TTD120mph: Sadly, the Christmas tree hasn't been created as scenery yet. I wish it would have been, because thats one of the best components of the ride.
