taller, smaller, and less roof/more towers. That's my opinion.

it's decent. I know how hard it is to pull something like that off....

Nice job with the crenellations on the outer walls, the large 2x2 tile tower needs windows, if you can figure out how to get them on a round tower. And could you break up the large patches of blue roof with some dormer windows? Dont know if dormer windows are typical of castles, but maybe you could find an examlpe somewhere and copy that...

What about this one?

I kind of liked that first one better, number one because I thought the shade of blue on the roofs was better and because I really liked the kind of A-shaped front you had going on. If you can incorporate those into this model then it would turn out pretty awesome.

That said, that screen is all architecture. Like 90% of RCT2 stuff these days. Vary the landscaping texture and contour throughout instead of just having it flat. Put a small hill here, a few rock texture blocks here shaped to look like boulders. And maybe put some rock texture on the banks of the creek, either that or dirt. Maybe you could even have a hill going up the side of the castle to some secret exit door on top of the hill.

the pic won't show for me....just the red 'x'.

The 1st one was better, mainly cause of the steeper roof angles. They're more "castlely"

I would do it taller since the width of the castle has to be about 1/3 of the height...

The main quality of the Disney castles is that they are all very compacted laterally, and stretched vertically. Towers are exaggerated and doorways are stretched up, while the widths of the towers and castle features are minimized. Keep that in mind when you build your castle.

Thats not exactly true. The original at Disneyland looks more horizontal to me than it does vertical. I would say the Disneyland one is horizontal, the Disneyland Paris one is vertical, and the Magic Kingdom one is kind of a middle ground. So you can do anything you want as long as you get it to look good... which I would say could use another redo.

Well, at Disneyland the castle is more horizontal then the others, but the main pink castle part is still stretched vertical. Admral's is very short and spread out, including the pink main castle part.

Oh, it works for me now (i have no clue what the problem was)

I think the second one is worse....the stones you used for the lower part of the castle hurt my eyes, use walls that look more rct-ish.

I guess that yes, the people up above are correct when they say it needs to be more vertical. Look at this:



It seems to be symmetrical on the bottom, a large rectangular area in the middle, and around the rectangular area are scattered large towers, the largest being off-center.

I also dislike the colors on the castle. I don't care for the pink walls at all, and the roof was better as blue instead of blue-green. I think you should either use the blue or use the purplish/bluish dark color for rooves, with a white wall.
Actually, what castle is this supposed to be? If it is the Sleeping Beauuty castle I'd say that pink might be okay, but if it's Cinderella or anything else I'd say that white should be the best. I know that in the movies, which is what Disney parks are generally based off of, Sleeping Beauty's castle is very tall and steep and more towery, lacking any central part of the building. I'm not sure what the big gray block section on the bottom of this castle is supposed to be, but I think it may be one of the problems that makes the castle look huge.

The first one has better landscaping too.

It looks like you aren't using many custom objects for this piece of archy too. I'd think that the entire castle would be composed mostly of fancy/specific quarter tile pieces, intricately put together.


I hope you can absorb all this....can't wait to see the revised castle again!

Is it possible to recreate either of the American Disney castles? If so, can someone help me out with some custom scenery that would make it impressive?

I apprechiated the comments. Keep them coming!

Do you have this scenery set yet? If not, it can be found at http://rct-fun.com/

as much as I hate that scenery because it doesn't blend with other RCT objects, it's probably your best bet fro this castle.

I hope to see you castle soon....this seems to be the only active park right now....

Does anyone have screens of the Phantasia castle? I would download the park if the link for it worked.

I love it oO

BAD idea. All of the Disney castles are designed to be viewed from the ground and at specific points. They are almost an illusion. You simply don't notice the massive blank walls on Cinderella Castle when inside the Magic Kingdom. The castles also aren't nearly as deep as they appear to be.

How would I build a castle different from that then?
