Micro Madness III
Both the 2008 and the 2014 editions of Micro Madness were a tremendous success, so it was only a matter of time before Micro Madness would be back. Today, it's happening, and hopefully bigger than ever. Bigger, but still tiny. Find out more and sign up here!

Macro Madness
A joke becomes reality. Macro Madness is not a competition however, it simply is the name of the new NE multiplayer park that will be on the server from now on. Macro Madness is a 254x254 bench with an object selection that will encourage quick building an a focus on macro composition. Can we fill this map? And can we resist the urge to try to make it detailed? Log on to the server (using the latest stable (release) version of OpenRCT) and find out.

Coors East
Shotguns brings us her fourth full scale solo park. The sequal to her last spotlight Coors Park, also known under the name 'the big dirty', Coors East has arrived!

Old Releases Overview
