About Ryle's Magic Kingdom

Ryle’s Magic Kingdom is an active, ongoing project since April 2, 2017.

Inspired by Disneyland Park in California and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida, this park has grown with me over the years.

Through the years, I’ve explored:
• Optimize limited in-game space
• Solve creative and engineering-style problems
• Use advanced features and tools within Theme Park Tycoon 2
• Build cohesive themed lands with their own stories and functions

History of Big Thunder Mountain Range Railroad

The original name of the attraction was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Although it shares a name with the versions at Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom Park, this attraction features its own track layout, mountain design, and storyline.

When the attraction first opened, it was one of the best thrill rides I had ever created and also one of my most detailed theming projects. Back then, the ride featured only one chain lift, and I had to optimize a very limited space in Frontierland to build and design the attraction. One recent update from the developer of Theme Park Tycoon 2 expanded the available build area, I was able to expand my park dramatically. With the newly added land located right behind the attraction, I extended the roller coaster’s layout by adding a second chain lift with new mountains and several new scenes, including a vibrant crystal cave, an explosive TNT sequence, and a small town called Big Thunder Town.

With this major expansion, I renamed the attraction Big Thunder Mountain Range Railroad, keeping the original theming while using the extra space to enhance the storytelling, special effects, and set design. The track length nearly doubled after the expansion. I also added immersive details like automatic lighting throughout the attraction that changes between day and night.

I personally love how the entire area looks after sunset!
