A custom ride for OpenRCT2. It's a spinning wheel with a giant rotating sombrero on top. It started life as the game's Enterprise ride, but it spins flat the way the real El Sombrero at Six Flags does, instead of tilting all the way up to vertical.
There's a full quality clip in media/demo.mp4.
- Grab
el_sombrero.parkobjfrom this repo or the Releases page. - Drop it into your OpenRCT2 object folder.
- macOS

~/.config/OpenRCT2/object
- macOS
- Start OpenRCT2 and look for El Sombrero in the Thrill Rides list.
The ride gets packed from the source PNGs by a Python script. You'll need Python 3
with Pillow and numpy, which you can grab with pip install pillow numpy, plus
OpenRCT2 installed (the script borrows its sprite build command). Then run it.
python3 build_parkobj.pyThat converts the sprites to the game palette, packs images.dat, zips
everything into el_sombrero.parkobj, and drops a copy in your OpenRCT2 object
folder.
If you're not on a Mac, open build_parkobj.py and edit the two paths near the
top (the OpenRCT2 app and the object folder), since they're set up for macOS.
Pretty much everything custom about this ride happens in build_parkobj.py. It
shuffles around which source PNG each sprite uses, so the actual art files,
manifest.json, and object.json stay untouched. If you want the full story on
the frame layout and the tuning knobs, it's written up in
CUSTOMIZATIONS.md.
Made by TinkerSnail. The wheel and car art comes from RollerCoaster Tycoon 2's Enterprise ride, and the sombrero is original. You'll need RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 assets through OpenRCT2 to play.
