Construction of A Walk in the Park, 15 years in. What resulted was "an abusive, 14 hour project", RogueLeader23 says. "The idea again immediately surfaced and I began making plans to construct a maze that fit just about the entire park." Classic is a mix of RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2 - the brilliant originals designed by Chris Sawyer - ported to iOS platforms. It only became a reality after RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic came out in December 2016. "There was no cruelty involved, as every guest who entered the queue (maybe?) knew what they were up against," he says.īut the devilish plan was shelved as real-life took over. He tells me he used to draw mazes to pass the time as a child, and the name of his park was inspired by Jurassic Park "and how it relates by going through hell to escape".Ī couple of years ago, after downloading RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 from Steam, RogueLeader23 had the idea to construct a maze to see how long it would take for a basic, 15-year-old AI to successfully navigate. Just A Walk In The Park is the work of "RogueLeader23", a 28-year-old from the east coast of America who recently got stuck into the excellent mobile game RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic. In fact, some seem stuck in endless loops, destined to toil away forever in a virtual purgatory. Over the course of 50 in-game years, none of the guests have managed to make it out the maze. It is the brainchild of a particularly mischievous fan who created a park that's home to just one attraction: a massive maze - and let 16 AI guests inside to see if they could find their way to the exit. Is this the most evil RollerCoaster Tycoon creation ever? Probably. Maybe, in another 50 years, she'll have reached the half-way point.

If she were able to talk, she might whisper: "kill me". Starving, thirsty and exhausted, Beverley ekes out a desperate, endless existence, alone and without hope. She's spent the last 50 years toiling away near its entrance. “It turned out so well with the giant coaster that just barely tops the trees and jumps from one island to another.Beverley P is stuck in a maze. “My favorite is definitely the pirate area,” says Brendgen. There's an icy mountaintop zone, an area based on Tron, and even part of the map dedicated to a pristine parking lot. In the Mars section, guests are treated to a rocky and red terrain, along with a completely indoor coaster. The Middle Ages area has a log flume weaving between an ancient forest and a roller coaster that loops through castles. Soon each section was a distinct location that gave organization to this giant undertaking. This was no small task.Īs the park began to grow, sections began to take form as themed areas. It was more like a picture or an art.” After completing every scenario and objective in the game, Brendgen took on the ultimate challenge: completely filling an entire map. “Later on, I don't think it was a game anymore to me. “At first I liked the gameplay very much,” says Brendgen as he reminisced on playing RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 for the first time. Many of the roller coasters in his park were either based or named on existing ones he already experienced living in Germany.
