Kerbal Amusement Program

[Moesly_Armlis]

This is a design challenge.

Can you build an amusement park ride that is safe for the kerbals to enjoy?

 

This Hylper loop was created by SWDennis.

My lil bueller.

While creating the lil Bueller I was pondering how a Kerbal Amusement Park would resemble.

If you are able to build a stock amusement ride please submit the craft file and I will assemble them all into a Kerbal Amusement Park.

 

Also submit any requests for rides.

Look here at the List of Amusement Rides Wikipedia.

 

Listing of rides that should be achievable in a stock game. 

 

Possible Stock Rides

 

Bumper Cars

Bumper Boats

Carousel

Freefall

Mechanical Bull

Pirate Ship (pendulum)

Rainbow

Red Baron

Rock O Plane

Space Shot

Speed

Tea Cup Saucer

Tilt-A-Whirl

The Enterprise

The Whip

Tunnel of Love

"Safe" doesn't sound very kerbal to me.

Safety is priority number one. 

We are not talking about the human amusement program.

This looks fun! Looking forward to trying it!

Are we allowed to submit multiple rides?

[Ultimate Steve]

I did a lot of roller coasters way back in around 0.90... they just didn't work right... or at all...

The Hyper Tube concept looks much more viable. I'll have to revisit roller coasters sometime.  Entry Inbound!

Of course.

Just to let you know I will be working on a big bueller next.

[Ultimate Steve]

Well, the new wheels aren't co-operating. I'll see if no crash damage fixes the breaking of the wheels. If it does, I've got coaster number one.

EDIT: No crash damage works!

This looks like a lot of fun!  I'm gonna have to look through that list and pick something awesome.  Already contemplating a Merry-Go-Round...

Although I have a feeling roller coasters are gonna be the big ticket items around here

 

Edit: I may have missed it, but I assume mods are not allowed?

When you are finished with the merry go round you could then alter it and make a Gravitron.

 

Mods are alllowed

The only problem is when trying to assemble them all into one park.  Stock will make this easier.

But if you need a mod to make the ride happen go for it.

I can see that Infernal Robotics and KAS would add some options.

 

In fact my hopes is that someone will take up the idea of a KAP mod pack that could have details such as :

Placards and Pennants

Ballons

You need to be this tall to ride sign.

Bouncy Castle

Cotton Candy

Ring Toss

Queues

Skee Ball

Concessions Stands

Bathrooms

more ideas from RCT.

Okay, I've got the first prototype working (ish). It is a HyperTube style roller coaster, and I decided to call it "Colossus." Here it is!

Unfortunately, Infinite propellant and No Crash Damage are required. It is also around 200 parts.

 Ladies and Gentlekerbs! Step right up for the most amazing (and terrifying) ride of your lives!

I present.... THE MERRY GO FLY!!! 

Have YOU ever wished to fly a plane, but couldn't be bothered to learn how? Or wished to be crushed by massive G forces without ever setting foot on a a rocket? Well then this ride is JUST for YOU! 

 Step right up! Don't be shy! Ahhhh.... *cough* Nothing like the lovely smell of jet exhaust! *cough* *cough* All this can be yours for the LOW LOW price of 371,978 Funds!

    Enjoy! 

P.S. I've got a vid of the ride in action but I've yet to upload it. maybe tomorow

P.P.S. No Cheats needed though you shouldn't set the throttle too high or it'll shake its self apart.

Spelling :P

So I have made something that is not on your list but is a staple of amusement parks

You can find the Craft file HERE

80 Kerbals can ride this fully functional all stock Kerris Wheel made from 585 parts IIRC ... Press 0 to undock ports then use 'Q' or 'E' to rotate

Don't mind the splosions ... they're safe

@Ultimate Steve

The Colosus is cool.  Have you considered a kerbal riding inside of the tube?

Exceptional detail on the build.  I admire the top canopy and the queue. Plus it has a safety fence.

 

 

@DoctorDavinci

That Ferris Wheel (what I refer to as a bueller cause FBDO) should have some kerbals riding.

 

 

Line Queue

Problem is having to disembark kerbals from the Mk3 passenger module.  Doing so one at time is tedious.  I could put a suggestion but maybe there is a mod for this already. Crew Manifest is close but no cigar.  I have clicked repeatedly on the EVA button and have experienced kerbals popcornning out of the service hatch but is  inconsistent.  Anyone know if a mod for having multiple kerbals exit the vehicle exist? Anyone?

@MoeslyArmlis Hmm... never thought about that. It Would be hard to get video of it, and make a cart that small (unless I use mk2 bays). It might also create gaps in the track, which would slow the cart down. The longer the cart, the less sharp the turns would be. It would almost certainly only carry one Kerbal... and I would normally do it. However, I am busy...
