    Hello!

    I'm new on this Board, and I wanted to show you guys some screens from my theme park.
    By the way, I think I'm the first Austrian guy here,hmm?
    It's actually finished and I just wanted to know what you think about it!

    Here are the Pics:

    Mainstreet

    The Entry to the Park
    There you enter the Park. You can see the Info Booth, the Ticket counter and the Entry Gate to the Park.

    Mainstreet
    The Mainstreet is very Arabian-like. There are 2 Rides, 1 Show and many Restaurants and Shops in this Area...

    The Splash "Odyssea"
    This is the Intamin Spillwater "Odyssea". There is also a platform where you can get wet ;)

    El Torre - Intamin Gyro Drop
    El Torre - The Intamin Gyro Drop located in the Spain Area of the park. You slowly go up the Tower, where you fall into the darkness of the tower! Inside the tower is a stairway and a viewing platform!

    Rio Rapido Falls - Mack River Boats
    Rio Rapido Falls with the "Splash-Bridge". You can get wet from both sides on the bridge.

    This is the Vekoma Mine Train in the park. Before it gets back to the station it dives a bit into water, where the waiting people get wet ;)

    Wrath of Tuankanum Darkride

    It would have looked nice if it wasn't all just brown, brown, and, errhm.. brown... Now everything almost looks the same...

    austria? nice. indeed, you are the first.

    let's see...
    you posted in a polite way, you advertised the park late and elaborated the screens, it shows a lot of promise and you speak my language. or do you?
    maybe you've shown a bit too much though.
    anyway, i get the impression that you approach parkmaking in a healthy way. i like that. although you are a beginner the park is above average beginner level, in my opinion.
    keep up what you're doing.

    Hi!

    Thanks for the Reviews!
    Yes I just fell in Love with brown ;)
    next time I try to use more colors!
    Im just too scared to get too colourful :lol:

    I'm downloading the park now. From the screens, it looks very nice and well planned. I wish there were more colors though. Also, I'm not too fond of the coaster designs...most of the park looks realistic, but the coasters do not. I really dislike that 360 twist on the Intamin, and the layout of the B&M is boring. But overall, I think this is a great debut.

    Where's the download?
  • 5dave%s's Photo
    Hi!

    Actually, there is no download!
    I just wait untill I get some Tips to improve the park, then you'll get the park!

    i love the park map....
    very great idea...
    as for the park itself....it looks really nice....tho it is very brown.
    brown is a great base color, but it doesnt look that good if the whole park is that color.
    just experiment with more color schemes, and you will get a whole lot better...
    it looks nice...keep it up.

    Willkommen! (bin aus der Niederlande und hab mal einige Monate in Wien gearbeitet, sehr schone Stadt- Umlaut funktioniert nicht)

    Welcome, your park looks very good overall with a lot of nice details!. And very well thought out. I also would like to download it.
    I agree with what's said before on the too much brown. May be you can elaborate a bit on the white and blue in the Greece area, add some yellow or yellowish-brown in the Spanish, etc. and see if you can live with that. Would certainly make the park even more promising.

    But overall: very nice and promising work, looking forward to the download :D

    i'd actually say submit it for spotlight instead of releasing it here. i mean you might get runnerup, who knows...

    You are a fresh-new parkmaker, and judging by your screens, you are packed with potential! My favorite screen is the one titled Mexico - Overview. Its showed nice foliage and the structure was good to. The overview looked promising. You are already going in the right direction with parkmaking.

    My only concerns are the colors (way too much brown) and a few of the buildings lack detail and are a bit blocky

    Hello!

    Thanks for the Replies!
    I'll change a few colors and add some details at the buildings!

    greets!

    Greets!

    Yeah. I understand that. Brown works very good as a main color but for little details try using more exciting colors like blue, orange, pink, red, yellow, etc.

    I agree a lot with posix here too, you're approching this the best way possible and for that alone I respect you greatly and look forward to releases and other future parks from you.

    :)

    I very much like the way that your themes are discernible from each other, and they do indeed portray the country that they represent. This shows that some thought has been put into them, which is good.

    Other than that, keep going, and listen to what others are telling you.

    Your "Greek" area doesn't seem very Greek to me, with all that dense forest.
  • posix%s's Photo

    listen to what others are telling you.

    you better not.
  • tyandor%s's Photo
    ^especially not to him :lol:

    To be honest this isn't top quality, but that doesn't matter since that's just practice and experience so that will come eventually. However I see several things that show great potential. What is most important is to develop your own building style and to deviate from other builders (that's what Posix is trying to say I think)

    The Hotel was brilliantly themed, and it would be perfect if you made the outdoor theatre more like the Greek ampatheaters.

    I was addressing this point mostly to the fact that some people have given very helpful comments, particularly in regards to the overuse of brown.

    Perhaps the phrase should have been 'listen to what people are telling you, but only act on what you agree with'.
