Inside the Wizard's Room Options

[Wizard of Oz View Member Profile]

No! Absolutely not! I'm way too busy. I told my secretary no visitors, no uninvited out-of-town guests, and absolutely no tourists (especially ones with dogs)!!

Ever since the Witch's death I've been way too busy to have time for much of anything besides work and keeping up with the rapid expansion of Emerald City. Who would have thought that her death would have created an economic boom for the land of Oz, but sure enough, we're noticing all kinds of positive market factors that point toward a true Golden Age of Oz.

More people are moving here from other lands, the Witch's castle has been turned into a tourist trap... er... attraction, the poppy fields are being harvested (for what, we aren't sure yet, but the extra income they're generating is sending gold prices through the roof) and even the Little People in Munchkinland have decided against unionizing and are once again happy working for minimum wage (though my advisors suspect their recent change of attitude is somehow related to the poppy industry).

Anyway, I need to get back to work, so please stop bothering me.

And if anyone sees that girl Dorothy and her dog Toto, tell her she still owes me money!

Harumph!

You again? What is it this time?

The park? Oh, yes, of course. Work is developing nicely, however the staff at Emerald City Amusements Development Project have requested additional help in completing the park. So we will be asking all of you to help us complete the park... once it's ready.

The delays are due to some problems we've encountered with the flying monkeys... apparently the loss of the Wicked Witch affected them in ways we didn't quite understand. While we had thought they were working for the Wizard, apparently they're still in the habit of grabbing guests from the park and flying them back to the Witch's castle... whey they all stand around awkwardly for a while - until the monkeys realize the Witch isn't around anymore - and then they carry them back.

While we fine-tune the park, we'd like to share some screenshots from the upcoming release. (Clicking on a thumbnail will open a full size picture):

Now can I kindly get back to work?

Here's a few more screenshots of some of the surprises you'll find in the downloads:

New custom scenery tab:


Two new paths and rainbow entrance:


Two new rides from Methusalem:


There was a last-minute bug with the entrance (having the same name as a WW entrance object) so I'm having our engineers work on that and we'll release the park as soon as possible!

As usual Brad exceptional work and worth the wait. I can't wait to get my paws on this and design an emerald castle. The paths and new flowerbeds look great as well. Your talent never stops amazing me.

Well, looks like those darn flying monkeys were more trouble than they may have been worth.

But we've finally figured out the problem we encountered after first releasing the objects and I'm happy to announce that my advisors have advised me (as I pay them to do) that we can once again accept applications for developers to join the Emerald City Amusements Development Project Team. Our current team has prepped the park but have left plenty of room for you to meet the application requirements: Build 10 more coasters all with an Excitement rating of at least 6.0. You're encouraged to complete the theming and round out the park and to post screenshots as your application here in the forums.

To help you complete your task, we've provided you with over $2,000,000, along with the new custom RCT2 Wizard of Oz scenery, two new custom rides from Methusalem, new paths, and more. If you need more money, just let us know. We have several 'irregular' gold bricks that we can easily put through the shredder and turn into gold coins.

So if you think you're up to the challenge, and have what it takes to make the Emerald City Amusements Development Project Team, you're welcome to download the files and try your hand at completing the park.

DOWNLOAD THE "WIZARD OF OZ - EMERALD CITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT" SCENARIO HERE!
or
JUST DOWNLOAD THE INDIVIDUAL SCENERY AND DAT FILES HERE!

Special thanks to the initial Emerald City Amusements Development Project Team:
Methusalem (custom rides)
Wagi (structures, landscaping)
jadedrac (tracks, landscape)
ckstei (tracks)
jonnyrocks (tracks)
pnkfloyd12 (tracks)
Mama Bear (object testing)
Riven3D & Rohn Starr (entrance debugging)

***PLEASE NOTE: If you downloaded the scenario or DATs after they were initially released, they may cause a conflict if you have Wacky Worlds installed. The Entrance file (OZENTRAN.DAT) had the same name as the Australian Entrance from Wacky Worlds. Even though the game will not overwrite your WW files, it will cause an internal error within RCT2 that will prevent you from using the Oz entrance (and possibly the Australian one, too). If you previously downloaded the files, we ask that you delete them (do NOT delete the WW version of OZENTRAN.DAT) and re-download these latest files***
