@Hayzlies, thanks very much and sorry for the late reply. That lot was completed and can be downloaded from my studio (currently using pic of it as an avatar, lol :-)

ahem.. *trying to build courage*... Here's my first attempt at building a roller coaster. It's definitely not perfect, but my simmies always have a great time there. It has just about everything thrown into it. I mean, after all, what did we buy all that stuff for if not to use it? I have since had to move the light on the right side of the stage in the showtime tent. Some times the proprietor wants to walk on that exact spot onto the stage... of course lol. I'm sure other things might need tweaking as well. Anyway, as I said, it's not perfect, but it's fun.
Snapshot of my current WIP using the gondola.... started a few weeks ago since not much time to create these days but slowly chipping away. I hope to make the final version a Seasons festival lot since I'm dying to decorate it for Christmas. The other seasons will be decorated as well, lol. Just that my inspiration was photos of actual Christmas village pieces. Have started a thread as I go along and am looking for constructive input to make it better - forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/795648/christmas-village-by-soocoolsim-wip#latest

Wow, what a great thread! There are really some fabulous roller coaster builds here, I am so amazed at the talent and creativity. I purchased the Boardwalk Venue some time ago but have never had a chance to experiment with the roller coaster stuff, so this thread has really inspired me to try my hand at one. Thanks Karritz for creating this thread.
I started a roller coaster lot..and now i can't find it! lol i have no idea which of my 15 saves it is in and what lot it is built on. DOH!
soocoolsim, i love your Christmas village!!!!
LOL, that's too funny. I've been in that same boat -- I had to start an Excel spreadsheet listing what I've built, the street address and what world it was in. Good luck finding it krimson!
Loving the builds- wish I was that talented, lol. Too bad I can't download- I don't have the carnival set. :'( . I'm just shy 300 sim points for it and refuse to spend an extra twenty bucks. Ohh well. Keep up the good builds! ;)

Most of these builds won't be using the carnival set as it was released after most of them were made. The venue you will need is the boardwalk as that is where the rollercoaster came from and this thread was originally for roller coaster builds.
I do not have the coaster yet...but I really want it. Is the cat coaster on the exchange? It is totally awesome!! Also what staircase is used in the picture @Kateoverend?
Sorry, just noticed your question. Thanks, glad you like it. Yes, the cat coaster is available from my studio.

Thanks @krimsonnox. Very glad you like it. Feel free to check out my WIP thread if you would like to see pics of the building interiors. I've finished the base lot but just need to convert it into a Festival lot with the added décor and activities then I'll upload.
Hope you find your save. Would be cool to see your WIP

@Soocoolsim, no worries, I am glad you saw that there are people who are still new to the game and finding it, and loving it!! I am still missing a few things to be able to play with it, but getting closer!!
Hi @Pixieydust, thanks for the comment. BTW you don't need all the items to download the lot... the game will replace what you don't have with other objects. I remember once I downloaded a beautiful castle that someone made and I didn't have most of the items. I ended up with little toy trains all over the place which I just deleted and then it was fine

Yippie, I finally completed my Victorian Village lot….
Edited to add links to all versions….
Beautiful multi-functional themed park with canals. Get married, have fun, eat and be merry, explore the unique buildings, shop till you drop or just admire the scenery from the water gondola.
Download Festival version if you have Seasons and want the festival and rotation of seasonal décor and activities
Download Park version if you don't have Seasons or would like to enjoy this lot like a regular park with summer activities
Download Shell version if you just want the facilities as backdrop for story-telling, videos, etc. The church is functional for weddings. All versions include the playable 'pipe organ'. As with all my builds, no CC or CAP. Pictures

It looks wonderful. And will be perfect for a white Christmas type of game.
Now I think I should get back to my canal build. It looks like you chose a similar layout for the canal pieces. Otherwise there is no similarity with what I'm supposedly doing. I started it but that's as far as I've managed to get.
Happy holidays everyone and thank you for your lovely comments. @Karritz, with the limits of the size of the lots and pieces there will likely be similar configurations to take advantage of the circle. I'm looking forward to seeing your build

Karritz on your list is a build called funtown by Stilljustme2 but I keep looking at it and it looks like the track is not connected.Am I seeing things or is that the case because I really like the simplicity of it and the lot size for Sunset Valley the 60x60 by the rich folks houses.Here is the link look at the pics and tell me what you think.

Here are a few WIP Pics I got. It is in Aurora Skies.
I think the buildings will be underground so what is above ground is about what it is probably going to be in the end.

How can you tell from that moving picture?
The only way to know is to download it and check it. I can't see anything wrong with it from what I can see in the pictures though.
