Parkmakers

Parkmaker is a title that can be earned by players with superior ability in RollerCoaster Tycoon. It was first introduced in 2002 when an initial crew of Parkmakers were selected by the administrators of New Element. In 2010 the traditional administrator chosen Parkmaker group was replaced by a point-based system, but has made a return in 2013 using three different levels: NE Parkmaker, Elite Parkmaker and Legendary Parkmaker.nedesigns

NE Parkmaker

NE Parkmaker

NE Parkmakers are the young and ambitious players who are on a persistent path to Elite Parkmaker. These players are capable of creating parks that distinguish themselves from the masses but aren't quite up to par with the elite players at New Element. These are the players to keep an eye on as they tend to be the most productive and rapidly improving their skills.

Requirements

To become an NE Parkmaker, a player must complete at least 80% of their park and complete one of the following 3 tasks with that park:

  • Win a Design accolade with a score of 80% or higher
  • Win a Gold accolade with a score of 80% or higher
  • Win a Spotlight accolade with a score of 80% or higher
