Welcome to the newest project from the RCT Masters, Universal’s Hollywood Hills! (UHH)
This is the sequal to the RCT1 Loopy Landscapes park, Hollywood Hills made in 2002 by myself, KaiBueno, and Mickbw51. The new RCT2 park (no add ons) is headed by me and again will include Kai, and Mick as well as RCTNW.
The map area is a full 256 x 256 which half of the map is the park, and the other half is the resort area, the City Walk, and the International Street/town modeled after IoA and its downtown area. The town will consist of at least five hotel resorts, a Casino, a Hard Rock Café, Hard Rock Live ampitheater, a ciniplex, several restaurants, a Ripley’s Believe it or Not, mini golf, water slides, fast food, stores, gas stations, parking garages, and the Foxxxy Lady strip club!
The theme park will consist of six areas around a large lake. Like the original park, UHH will be themed after movies and TV shows. The proposed areas are (subject to change):
- Port of Call: The entrance area
- Boomtown: cowboy and western movies and TV shows. May include a Back to the Future III ride
- Ancient Worlds: focusing on films set in the past (Gladiator, etc.) May even have a Goonies water thrill ride themed to pirates!
- DC or Marvel comics: May be just called Comic Land!
- New York, New York: based on films and TV of New York City
- Toonville: the cartoon area of the park
The park was started in August 2003 and has a lot of areas done in the town. Most are partially done, but some areas are nearly complete. We will show three screenshots of near completed areas.
Here is a picture of Micks Hooters Restaurant:
The next two screens are of the Hard Rock area which I modeled after a beachside resort from a Thomas Cook magazine……..
This is the front of the resort with the entrance to the Casino:
This is the back of the resort and hotel. Notice the guitar shaped pool:
As always, more screens to come including Kai’s awesome parking garages and RCTNW’s hotel that I started but he greatly improved.
Comments welcome and appreciated.

This looks (and sounds) really great! Mick's restaurant has such a cool front (those pillars are cool) and that hotel looks very nice, especially the contrast between the deep red and the ice blue glass. Nice pool, too, with a kind of water-volleyball net? Cool.
Great work you guys. -

The first and third screens look ok, but the 2nd looks really boring with all those featureless windows. Looking nice otherwise, the supporting pillars of screen one are a nice touch. -

I remember being around for Hollywood Hills. It's great you're making a sequel to it. This one's looking a lot better, IMO, too.
The Hard Rock hotel is looking great, same with the Hooters. Very realistic design to it, and it's working well. The only problem is the 2nd screen. Like Deano said, it's kinda boring.

So you're basing the Hard Rock hotel off of the one in Las Vegas? Cool!
The screenshots look very nice, but as deano said, the second screen's windows are featureless and boring, add something like an awning to them.
Looking forward to more! -

I really hate the first screen, and I really love the 2nd and 3rd.

I know, go figure. A hotel in a park that I did not build.
I am building one or two, but not this one. -

Those hotels really begin to bore me..... They look very good, but I rather would like to see something of the park it's self. -

Like RCTNW said, those aren't his designs, but mine. I also just finished up another hotel today.... screens coming soon.I really hate the first screen, and I really love the 2nd and 3rd.

We don't have anything built in the park yet. We keep on going in and out of the scenario editor to add / delete objects. -

the second screen scares me. Looks like an asylum.
I like the whole concept of this park though. Everything else looks really good. -

i like the overhang going over the road. The checkerboard at the bottom of the pool is kinda annoying and makes me want to choke something to death, but thats just me. -

Not much of an update, but the park has been passed around to RCTNW and he was able to finish up the third complete hotel resort in the park. Screens coming soon.
