- So, Highway Hijinks. An amusement park with a highway straight through the middle - but my biggest challenge turned out to be managing the budget.

There is a toilet and a info kiosk in the starter buildings. Hence why nobody was complaining 😃
Silvarret is the Bob Ross of building management games; extremely skilled, positive attitude, and hugely inspirational.
Thanks for all your content and efforts within parkitect
The highway really brings the world to life. I would love to see more of the real world outside of park limits. For example, Happy Co. Harbor having cargo arrive and go out. Or a functioning town near the park. It’s so cool to think of your park being a small oasis of entertainment in a big, busy world. I’m all caught up on every episode. Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration. 🥰
dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last weeks :)
@Adonis Trevor Definitely, I've been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
Hi Raptor, if you see some suspicious text above mine, then that text has a bad link with it, so don’t go to that link!
Have a good day!
"As a Dutch person I want to argue with their definition of flat land" as a fellow Dutch, I laughed so hard
Agreed, this is basically a mountain area for us
Idem!
You building all these coasters in Parkitect actually inspired me to go back to RCT3 and try the campaign again.
*I built one coaster in real-time and bankrupted the first park*
John D Rockefeller was my best friend the first time I was beating the campaign.
To be fair, most of the parks made a profit, just not a very large profit
Reeeeeeeeeeeeee
I actually really love the single-rail coasters. They're sleek, fit in small spaces, have excellent stat ratios, and most notably are EXTREMELY cheap (almost 1/2 the cost of a floorless coaster of similar height and design) their primary downside being throughput, which can be minimized with good blocking and lots of trains.
they can also be launched, which can further cut down on footprint and cheapen their cost.
Maybe the monorail was the newest addition to replace an old derelict wildmouse coaster that the park probably would've started with.
dude that sound effect at 13:50 killed me
Ethan Birch haha it sounds like the super Mario bros sound when you press a button but you’re dead 😂
Caught me so off guard too
Btw, the guests weren't complaining about restroom access because the scenario starts with a toilet building by the entrance. Sorry, but I'm pretty sure you will still have to remember to build a toilet most of the time :P
"the Tourbillon is pretty much just a Top Spin on crack"
actually a very accurate and hilarious description lol
MAN, I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love how the land isnt 'flat' but a drop tower is called a 'flat ride' :P
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hip_roof : "Another variation is the gablet (UK terminology) or Dutch gable roof (U.S. and Australasian terminology), which has a hip with a small gable (the gablet) above it. This type simplifies the construction of the roof; no girder trusses are required, but it still has level walls and consistent eaves."
Silvarett, can you please bring us some more parkitect coaster colleges but not just coasters. While I really want to learn how to do things. I also want to learn how to design buildings and scenery
Funnel cakes rule!
Excellent park as usual, I especially enjoyed the food court and the surrounding area with the flat rides and how you incorporated the small lake. The entire layout looks very organic to me and I genuinely looks like a mix of a number memories I have from theme parks I visited as a kid.
I want to say to be careful because Custom Stall give no decoration bonus on its own, but then I'm speaking to Silvarett here, so what's the point?
im glad you're taking more risks with tracked rides and water rides. its a hard thing to get out of a rut but in the end the parks have been havin a lot more variety in visuals!
The topspin on crack (Tourbillon) is one of the most profitable thrill rides in the game! Always build it!!
silv: "making a devilish amount of money"
me: *sighs* ... *hits like*
I love that this game's coaster designer took RCT3's and Planet Coaster's and mashed them together, it works really well IMO.
I would say that the lore of this park is that an old Arrow double corkscrew was removed and replaced by this modern raptor. This would also kind of explain the station being old fashioned looking as the station could've been re-used and retrofitted for the new ride. The blueprint of the ride definitely could support an arrow (aside from the cobra roll section which was probably unused land before or had an old run down flat ride there). I agree about old timer car rides being a relaxing ride between coasters but generally I prefer to go on water rides for that *hint hint*.
It's such a disgrace that the spawners for the vehicle are not available to players but are restricted to developers. They mentioned about them possibly being made available to everyone, but nothing was ever done about it.
The fun part is that it could probably be used to spawn any sort of item, and send it flying across the map at a set speed. You could have water towers or trees sailing across your park if you wanted.
I was a little bummed that you didn't build a transport ride to go across the highway, but it would have been difficult to fit it in. Still, I only recall you building one so far and it wasn't even a loop. I hope to see a looping train ride in one of these parks. Thanks for continuing this series--it makes me so happy every time a new one comes out!
The employee path does actually affect the decoration view, and also in the ride stats, if the ride can see the depo it shows decoration low
I look at each of your parks and learn a little more about how to organize and decorate mines. Keep posting videos, they are of a rare and crazy quality!
Woohoo, new video!
So much blue in the new area! Blue lines, blue coaster, blue stations... But it all looked wonderful. I was waiting for you to design a large modern coaster on Parkitect like a giga coaster, and you surely didn't disappoint! It looks awesome!
But I must say I'm not satisfied... More bigger coasters!! (please)
Oh man the 'new' side of the park definitely brings to mind some of the more simply themed parks here in NA. I really like how you used a combination of roof pieces and those giant awning(?) segments to make a different sort of station for the Giga coaster. :D
Intimidator 305 in Kings Dominion is my favorite coaster I've ever been on 🤩 and that's coming from someone who grew up next to six flags great adventure...
Nice shoutout to the Ravine Flyer II! Great coaster! 🎢
I love watching how you complete these scenarios! Keep up the amazing work!
On the topic of increasing the Monorail Coaster's throughput, I usually try to cram 2 block sections on the brake run - the final brake run itself, then a turn/straight bit and another block section is what I typically will use. Even without the blessing of a high throughput, I've found that the Monorail Coaster is one of the best coaster models in the game! It is very easy to get a Very high/Extreme excitement rating with, can fit into extremely compact spaces and it's a very cheap coaster compared to the other options easiest to get Very high/Extreme excitement ratings on (Hydraulic Launch Coaster, Vertical Drop Coaster, Floorless Coaster - and sometimes Wing Coaster - are the other four that I've found easy to get a great Excitement rating on. No wonder the RMC Raptor model is probably going to spread like wildfire in real life.
"Top Spin on crack", couldn't say it better. Awesome!
This scenario reminds me of Kentucky Kingdom. As the name suggests, it is an amusement park in Kentucky (Louisville, to be exact). Went there with my dad a year ago and it was quite fun. The water park was well done, there was a good variety of rides, Storm Chaser and Lightning Rod are gems of coasters...
Excuse me, I seem to be getting off track. Point is, the main reason why this came to mind is that, like this scenario, there is a road that essentially cuts the park in half. Also, the terrain I guess could be described as "flat" in that particular area.
*hears plan for park's lore*
Wait a minute
*Kentucky Kingdom intensifies*
This is my favorite series on youtube right now! I’m always looking forward to the next park!! 😍😍😍
Ah the old timers ride. My home park Six Flags St. Louis has one that I remember riding as a kid that had decent scenery through a garden. Now that same ride gets to run through the supports of the GCI woodie they put on top of it.

"so I wanted to build the alzheimer's ride"
Ive been taking some inspiration to some of my coasters watching you play. Its helped a lot
Silv, I’ve been watching you since your RCT3 Morgan Hyper video came out! and your vids are so fun to watch and your pseudo-realistic approach to these campaigns is so interesting! Especially how you incorporate realistic features and facts into your parks. Based on this, have you ever thought of going thru the standard campaigns of RCT1, 2, & 3? I think it’d be a nice trip down memory lane for you and all of us fans! Who doesn’t love the nostalgia of the “old games”?
Seeing your park made me realize how inefficient I made mine. Yikes, haha. Your build looks awesome though! :D EDIT: When it comes to employee paths what I've noticed is that they give slightly bad ratings (though not as bad as the buildings) but blocking them does improve the rating!
I believe it's been said before by the devs, not totally sure though, but the general consensus is that each height marker is 10 ft. So a Hyper coaster would need to be 20+ and a Giga 30+ in game. That seems to pan out with the overall height limit of those rides as well. The 10 ft. height also would make some sense when you look at the building pieces. A wall is 1 unit high. And an IRL building unit of height is a "story" and that's roughly 10 ft. tall.
The clown horn got me :) Also your monorail coaster has a pretty good timing. I just liked it better in the deep blue. Might make my own next coaster that color.
Employee paths are highly hazardous to your scenery rating. I used these to reach the lowest possible scenery rating when testing coasters for their deco affinity.
I dislike Gigacoasters as well. Building high costs insane amounts of money, and I don't even get much higher ratings out of these than for other types.
I was thinking maybe they had a wooden coaster on the old side, like Phoeniox at Knobles (small and old). Since the ride would not be a good candidate to get the Iron Horse Treatment, they put a Raptor in its place
I play for the optionals and full on management so it's great to get such a good look at how the other half do things
@3:43 G E K O L O N I S E E R D
I kinda wanna see an indoor monorail coaster in real life. I think it would be very cool to have these tight turns and inversions in an enclosed environment with a very dense theming and maybe some lighting effects.
I must say I like this series a lot, as it is rare to find a quality coaster park simulator or a city building game l.p. in which the author both tries to make it look beautifull and plays to make it work with the economy and/or needs turned on. Usually what happens is that it is either full on beauty mode with infinite money and complete disregard for other game mechanics, or just economy mode and the build looks like crap. Would love to see more series like this, maybe a Cities Skylines one?
Also, it would be great if you'd show the stats of your rides at the end of the vid, to let us see how they present in numbers, with all the foliage added and after all the tweaks etc..
you could always use the lore that there used to be a coaster where the monorail was, then they replaced it because the space opened up. It would make sense that the gap would need filling
I actually love the monorail coaster, it looks super cool in this game. I'm still unsure about the station but it looks like a fun layout!
More ideas to rip off for future parks! Always happy to get the notifications for your videos Silv!
Okay but I love the bench area at 7:50, I've never thought to do anything like that
I UAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE!!! please do like 49294939 parkitect parks!
Now you say it. Selling park maps has to be the most capitalist thing ever.
With regards to the monorail coaster being in the old part: We can say that there used to be something like an Arrow looper there that got removed and was replaced recently by the monorail coaster.
this series is literally the best. no shame I got hype when I saw a new upload.
Just bought this game and I'm loving it so far. Hopefully I'll be as good at making scenery as you
YetiMi _ it’s fairly simple just let your mind go wild 👍
Again a very different approach. Looking forward to your Biscayne Beach, as in how you think about getting a Entrance Plaza/Food Court there.
13:48 I almost choked with my spaghetti I was NOT expecting that
Love it like usual! I like the 'old' park better than the 'new' one, but only because I'm a sucker for scenery xD but it is still pretty if you make it lol
in the lore, the monorail coaster replaced an old vekoma corkscrew, which was once the star attraction at the park
Beebs out the word *toot* doesn't beeb out ''basically a topspin on crack'' 😆
Maybe there used to be a woody where that monorail coaster is but there was a fire which destroyed it :(
Luckily, the insurance payout was massive so they could afford to replace it with a monorail coaster and buy some land on the other side of the highway to expand the park
The monorail coaster is a replacement for an onder out and back wooden coaster. There, lore.
the parkitect content we deserve
The roller coaster the Giga Coaster's most based on is Intimidator 305 since it's track and default colors are the same. I did see a little bit of I305 influence in your one, like the drop into a massive turn. Hopefully this one won't make you black out, though.
Concerning the Giga Coaster, if you want to build a more modern one like Hyperion or a Mack Hyper, use the Hydraulically Launched Coaster instead. It allows for inversions and has a track design that is more similar to that of the Giga, which uses the double-spined design that's only found on coasters that put the track under high stress *cough* I305 *cough*.
And while the HLC is slightly more expensive than the Giga, it also has slightly better stats. Unfortunately, the Hyper Coaster still beats both of them handily.
Are you an architect, or something? How can you think of all those building shapes?
Not an architect, I've just put too much time into sandbox games :)
That airplane in the beginning was definitely trying to provoke u
Awesome as always. Guest line at the Ferris wheel is way too long. I am sure most guests are pretty unhappy and hungry if they waited the whole time and ride the wheel.
Employee paths count as negative scenery. Rides overlooking them like a coaster above it or those unfenced old timer cars are affected by it.
> "maybe some water rides as well"
> -5°C outside
You were talking about the Giga toward the end like you were guessing about the air time, but the game has a graph in the ride that shows you the air time locations.
that bridge reminds me alot of the old duisburger zoo bridge they used to have there - was like a big bridge in similar style but all yellow - now they have like a massive bridge there with a forest ontop of it....
You are so nerdy, I love it !
The best, videos of parkitect on TH-cam is silv videos. What’s up silv!!!!
31:50 Do you mean to say you've never opened the coster graph before (the one beside the finaces graph)?
Wonder woman is ridiculously fast I went on it a few month ago and easily the fastest in fiesta Texas. It felt like it was over as soon as it started.
loving this series! one question though: will you ever play cities skylines again?
In the case you're not completely done with this game after the campaign play, I would love to see a sandbox park!
Maybe this helps but the Dutch Hip Roof aka Dutch Gable Roof isn't saying the roof is possessive of the Dutch, its a combination of two roof styles, a Gable Roof and a Dutch roof making it a marriage of two different styles, a Dutch + Gable Roof or aka Dutch hip/hipped roof. But I could have false information and be wrong, it is the internet lol I also dont read comments on videos usually and someone may have answered this.
I love this series but question why didn’t you do Biscayne Beach
Hey Nice video!
Ik wist niet dat je Nederlands was, in welk plaatsje woon je?
You probably know this, but if you click the loop in the left side of the screen, and tick decorations, you will be able to see if the areas near the "backstage zones" are affected negatively.
13:52 ik schrik me dood😂😂
Its like.. when THE HELL WILL SOMEONE LET HIM DESIGN A REAL ROLLER COASTER!
Kentucky Kingdom has a road down the middle. Not a highway but close enough
Maybe there was something else there instead of the Monorail-Coaster. The rest looks very old-school. Then they demolished an old and/or defunct ride to put a new coaster there.
Would love to play this game !!
I hated this scenario. After tremendous amount of research into shops I finally got a hot drinks stall for thirst. Sure the vending machines kind of worked, but I do not see point in placing a separate food stall if there is no drinks stall available.
aaaahh time for my weekly dose of procrastination
Energylandia has a road at the back of the park. And they are now building on the other side of the road. So technically that park straddles a road...
You forget to place any toilets. Me wondering why all of my guests are hungry till I realized that I don‘t have placed any foodstands
Are you ever going to finish Jagerhorn?
You're DUTCH
i mean i am too but i didn't expect it at al
although you did pronounce the names of things like efteling and slagharen correctly
Ik ben een grote fan ga zo door:)
Hey Silv, are you covering the dlc for this game too?
I will!
I'm not sure where the "Dutch gable" nomenclature comes from. The reference texts I've consulted define "Dutch gable" as (e.g.) a "[t]all gable with sweeping curved sides, often ogees with volutes, crowned by a triangular pediment" (Curl, 2006)-i.e. the type seen in a stereotypically Dutch façade-and call the type of roof you're talking about a "gablet".
Wikipedia claims that North America and Australasia use "Dutch gable" to refer to a gablet roof, but provides no source, so that seems to be a dead-end.
----
Curl, J. (2006). Dutch gable. In _A Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture_ (2nd ed.). Oxford: Oxford University Press.
So the only thing that really bugs me (the rest is awesome, don't get me wrong!) is that the Oldtimers attraction runs next to a very loud highway and underneath a loud coaster. Not very relaxing imo.
This is just an idea, but you could have used a launch coaster or something beside the highway so those on the ride can compare their speed with the vehicles
How long we still need to wait for the next part??? ;)
that is a nice looking park
una pasada verte construir a velocidad 0,5 (para enterarme de algo xD) mientras escucho música..... jeje
luego toca ver el video por 2ª vez leyendo subtitulos ya que no sé inglés :/
una lástima que no haya más contenido de parkitect en español.....
saludos
