Rollercoaster Tycoon's Infamous Hedge Maze Sees Its First Champion -- Penultimate Update

Just a Walk in the Park was transferred to Open RCT2 for a 100 year anniversary live steam. This shot showcases the hedge maze in its entirety.

Open RCT2 opened up many options to the park management, but one option was used rather excessively.

At year 191, an additional 239 guests were allowed into the maze. Within mere days, these happy guests who braved one of the longest queue lines in the world (second only to most DMVs) showed signs of defeat due to severe overcrowding and a few of the original sixteen guests shedding light on the sheer size of their challenge ahead. "Not even death can find you" was muttered countless times by these ghostly and eternal beings.

Those new contenders had a head start though. Fifty years prior, three new attractions were built to increase the park's popularity. A 1,135ft observation tower for guests to try and map out the maze was constructed first, followed by a 2mph chairlift and 5mph stand-up rollercoaster. The coaster sat above the chairlift, and each ride followed the general path throughout the hedge maze, passing each checkpoint. Both rides were just under 13,000 feet and lasted around 4 "game years".

Some guests who embarked on these journeys suffered from mild PTSD, as countless hours during the ride were spent sitting (or standing) through severe storms and listening to the echoes of lost souls begging for rescue or sweet sweet death.

At year two-hundred sixty-three, the maze had its first champion. We would like to congratulate Regina F., one of the original sixteen challengers, for completing Just a Walk in the Park. Seen just outside the maze's exit, Regina is currently boxed in in order to be interviewed and checked by a medical team. She has only been muttering the words "I can't find the park exit" and "I have the strangest feeling someone is watching me."

Is this, perhaps, the eyes of Death? Is Regina feeling naked beyond the hedge maze? Her life was at a standstill inside. And now being back out in the world, many years later, would she consider going back into Just a Walk in the Park?

Six years later, we find Beverley P. once again near the maze's entrance. So much progress has now been lost. We can only assume she returned to the comfort of her "hedge family", only to find many more guests have been sacrificed to the maze. Beverley may feel she's the one to blame for this unfortunate event. Leaving her hedge family to seek out the maze's exit.

Regina F. gives hope to many of Just a Walk in the Park's challengers. As for Beverley P., all hope may now be lost.

This is the second to last update for this project. Many of us were hoping to see Bev succeed in finding the exit. Once she does, the final update will be posted. But that could be months, or years away. Live streaming her journey will occur once or twice a month, if anyone is interested. But as for now, let's congratulate Regina F. for successfully navigating Just a Walk in the Park.

Finally, here is the map image of the maze. The bottom-left corner is where you will find the entrance and exit, if you feel brave enough to follow in Regina's footsteps.

And thanks to everyone who requested updates on this project. It's been a very interesting journey, and I will post the final update whenever Beverley P. reaches the exit. Original Post - https://imgur.com/gallery/KBfv5
