RCT Discussion / RCT Advent Calendar 2025

LLovely! Hard to find much more classic than a four quarters LL park with a central lake. Using times of day as a central theme I think is really interesting, especially considering it could line up as you walk around the park clockwise. The sundial motif really helps with this. I'm a big fan of Nochtenburg as well as all the waterfront seating areas and walkways. There's some interesting LL tricks at play here like the covered dinghy slides as illuminated windows, looping coaster track as solar panels and iron roof land textures as tilled soil. Even with three coasters, I think the most memorable ride here is Color Splash which winds over and under Sera Springs really nicely. I'm noticing some quirks that hint this might be made with no building hacks whatsoever; perhaps this is SSSammy bringing the Fundamental Forest ruleset over to LL?

Door 17

Gladisant

An early door opening today and it's a doozy. This epic entry shows a icy castle with a dragon perched atop it. All around the castle is a coaster and the region is also visited by a flying carriage. Make sure to take a trip into the mountains to see this wonder and experience the thrill of Gladisant!

Oh hey, I recognize this one! This is one of Bluetiful_Monday's DKMP multiplayer entries! Scored near a perfect 10 which was nuts, but for good reason! This would still be instantly recognizable as Blue even if it were my first time seeing it. The vibes are immaculate as typical of Blue's work. Love the way the castle is built with great use of DKSO and some single-angle trackitecture. The ice dragon on top is also really effective and I love his frost breath. The sphinxes as piles of snow is a neat idea but the execution is hit or miss for me. I think Revelations of Stonehenge improved on this effect tremendously. Coaster layout is nice and I love the shwoopy loopy supports. Reminds me a lot of the launcher from Stonehenge. Just fantastic work overall. 

Had a backlog of these to catch up on - some quick reactions... 

St Nick’s Wild Ride - a very nice coaster layout (which the peeps clearly love based on how busy it is haha). Lovely alpine style architecture too with the added snowy effects. The ultimate gift here I think is the new objects that are snuck in! Which also gives away the creator I presume  

Christmas Tree Lot - a simple but well-executed concept, and a charming little entry. I love how the peeps actually ‘shop’ for the trees - too cute!

Winterfest - this does such a good job of the ‘normal park but at Christmas’ concept - with the blocked-off areas and the dusting of snow everywhere. The ice rink is so well executed - haven’t seen one done before! The landscaping is another highlight with some really clever layering of objects to get the snow effect. So many little details all over this one - would encourage everyone to have a look!

Abstract Attraction - lives up to the name, and it’s quite striking!  Not a lot to keep the viewer’s attention but it was fun watching the ride go around not knowing where it was going to go next. 

Sundial Springs - always love to see an SV4! And this one made me smile so many times - such a fun concept and the rides in each area bring the idea to life really well - clever naming! I think my favourite area was the morning, with the coffee grinder and morning commute. Looking at this entry feels like taking a nice warm bath haha.

Gladisant - again a distinctive style where I can be pretty confident in my guess-the-builder selection! It has the trademark features like the ethereal atmosphere, towering spires, flying horses and all-around creative use of objects. Some top tier DKSO!
