Whirlwind Park

Five unique rides, totaling 10.6 km (6.6 mi) of track, made for VR: Speed Diver, Cobra Knot, Waterspout, Skipper's Delight, and Secret Subway.

Check out the park at night too. All the above ground rides are lit up. No change to the subway, obviously.

You might recognize the song from any number of things, ranging from Tiny Toons to Umbrella Academy. The band is They Might Be Giants, singing "Istanbul (not Constantinople)". To pad things, the song is then followed by two re-recordings and an electric remix. I used the same song in Zelda Classic.

One easter egg for youtube is hidden away somewhere.

Speed Diver (yellow) - If you like vertical drops, this dive coaster is the one for you. Portions seem like the track is alternating between fast and slow. 2480m / 8150ft (1.5mi)

Cobra Knot (green) - A knot of two cobra rolls through a knot of trees. Why not? 2580m / 8440ft (1.6mi)
This is the most intense coaster.

Waterspout (blue) - A traditional coaster with a secret. Don't get sucked in or you might get spit out. 2690m / 8840ft (1.7mi)

Skipper's Delight (red) - Skip a stone across a pond. You're the stone. Cars may not be as rigid as they first appear. 1620m / 5300ft (1.0mi)
This one is sort of experimental. There's a bit of randomness in the spin, so each run is different. Some runs might be a little intense in VR.

Secret Subway (grey) - A completely underground coaster? What's the point? You can't see anything. 1210m / 3980ft (0.8mi)
Originally this was a bonus secret ride with no pathway or markers, but I manged to get the visual nice enough that I couldn't keep it hidden.

I built this park many years ago after I got a Vive VR headset, but it was unfinished, so never published it. I decided to update it in 2025, and finished it over a few weeks. The lights are new, the signs are new, the music is new, almost all the trees are new, skippers delight barely worked at all, secret subway was much much shorter and completely dark just to test how underground would work, and I did a lot of clean up and smoothing of the tracks and terrain, and fixing the timing to minimize waits. Now, the rides are improved, and it looks like a real park. Or at least, how a park would look if you didn't need floor space for crowds to line up.
