When it's coming to darkrides,i love to have madhouses.They are in a lot of theme parks(Villa Volta-Efteling,Fluch der Kassandra-Europapark,Hex-Alton Towers).They always have a fantastic soundtrack and are themed different in almost every park[haha].However i don't have an idea yet how the madhouse theming should work.Choose the walls and decorations you want to attach to your ride???Give me your ideas and comments about this please.[big grin]

I believe this would be handled like a Flatride, IF they decide to put Madhouses in. Like 3D Cinemas it would be difficult to implement. I think you would get pre-made Rides in both cases. This would mean with Theming already built in. It would be too complicated to give the player the Option to build those from scratch. Since the Room rotates they would have to tweak their code for building quite a bit :D

I saw the eftling for the first time ever in a youtube video of RCT3 where somebody made a mod. it was one of the most incredible things Ive ever seen

On the Subject of Darkrides... I hope we get a Omnimover Type Ride to Build an Awesome Darkride. I really missed that in the previous RCT Games. All we got were the tacky Ghost Train Type Rides which are ok... But not my Cup of Tea... (I think they are really really cheap and too Fairground-y for my liking)

God I LOVE Hex. MadHouse are such a unique experience.

I would imagine that if we get them, they'll be pre-themed. If they do one that we can theme, it would be beyond fantastic. Maybe they could do it so that the drum is blank and we can apply textures to each surface. This way we can choose the walls, floors and ceilings. Maybe the seats can also have different textures and colours to choose from. And then if you can decorate the inside of the drum with scenery like the building attachments and decorations. If the drum had animation bones so these pieces move with it, then we'll have custom MadHouses. I reckon it would be really difficult to implement, but it would be brilliant.

One way of doing this so that you could have any styling you want (rather than one for each theme).

Provide a drum that is made up of seats and "open areas" to allow the static walls, ceiling, floor etc to show through. The drum could have some fairly basic theming that would fit anything and it is this that rotates.

I believe this is how the RCT3 Madhouse ride was created.

Can this be done now by building a building around a top spin and theming the inside of the room? You would have to make the room tall though so that the ride doesn’t clip through the walls. In this case though the ride actually goes upside down but the room will be stationary.
