RCT Discussion / The little things...

yea Bijou magique is just a bit old and i think to that time the custom objects werent that normal and routined used like now. I think the park is great, and really back to the roots when you look at it now.

And excuse my english crueltys, i am a german guy.

german?
Good review, dude
Melde dich doch mal im MSN oder AIM, k?

I'm gonna do one of Emergos Versicoloured Valleys, as I think it's one of the best parks I have seen in a long time.

This park is so detailed that I wanted to take a screenie of every square because it's lots of little things, that are built up to make a park imo, so I just took my favorites.



All of the little walkways in this path are amazing, I especially like this one because it's buried deep in the trees towards the back of the park, away from all the rides and the "hustle and bustle".



The little waterfall are beautiful, I don't know what she does, but she seems to add a bit of sparkle to it and make it seem even more amazing.



This just looks so picturesque that to me, it looks like something from a postcard.



I think this is my favorite building in the whole park. The amount of detail on the buildings without making them look crowded is amazing imo.



Not really a little thing, but a breathtaking sight anyway. The way she makes the waterfalls cascade down here reminds me of Old Red. Which is good.



Another brilliant building. The way shes used the red on the roof gives off an oriental feeling to me. And it's yet another building she manages to put a lot of detail onto without it feeling too cramped.



Wow. This is just wow. It has a well, porculis with a "Banned Member" in a dungeon sort of area. It cannons, cannonballs and just everything that a castle would need.

This truly is a great park and screens don't do it justice.
Keep up the fantastic work Emergo!

Thanks trav, I hadn't seen the park, but now I definitely will download it.

Emergo, you are probably one of the best people around at the moment for foliage, it seems. I am envious.

^ Thanks trav, for doing a "little things" on my park.

Much appreciated and good to hear you like the park.

Id like to say that the last screen there is fantastic. All of the screens are good but the castle one really does look emmersive. GJ.

Aren't there any little things to show anymore?
I really miss this topic.
I'd appreciate it being reactivated in some way ^^
So, sorry for pushing it up again, but I think, this was one of the best and most interesting topics on NE!

Erm why dont you do one then?

I think it's because there haven't really been any parks released that have been worth making one for, maybe. But I have been inactive for a couple of months so maybe I missed something.

Fatha and JK spotlights, H2H4 on a whole...

^Yeah, but it's the other JKay.

Didn't know there was two.



Back on topic, I just gotta say I looked through the Sea World Brisbane one and I've always thought it's a wicked park. Great job Steve, the execution of the perfect-realism thing was incredible. I was always impressed with the layout of the floorless ride you did... it squeezes itself it perfectly without looking crowded or anything at all. Props to ya.

Okay...so I've been reading a lot of the archived threads here at NE...it really is a shame that most threads pictures don't work anymore. But I've always wanted to do one of these on parks that I absolutely love. I don't look at parks too often so this was a bit hard for me as I have only spent hours looking at a few parks before. So hopefully this will give some people a good read and show off some awesome stuff in parks and spring a bit of life back into the forums as they have felt DEAD lately.

Busch Gardens Sydney

I absolutely adore this park. Sure it was a bit cramped and it was hard to come to terms with that especially because my own style is very laid out neatly. But the people who complain about this park being cramped are just too lazy to do the work that requires you to find all of the gems hidden in this park. The park sets out exactly what it is to do and with the space that it had, did it exceptionally well.

(Some of these might have been mentioned already, but like I said most of the pics from older parks are totally dead.)

Onwards to the shots:



I love the use of land blocks here as tents.....it compliments the perfectly executed atmosphere. Also notice the blocks built over the log flume to add realism, and the bobsled piping under it.



As if the perfectly executed Intamin transfer track wasn't enough....sloped magnetic brakes were added.



I believe most people overlooked this back when PT2 was going on. Notice how the launch track has the "groove" for added realism where the catch car would slide to attach and launch the train. Simply done by adding the cable lift and then taking it out to keep the affect it has on the track behind it. The only downside to this is the fact that using the Intamin Tri-Track makes for a not so pretty merge with the Impulse track below it. But it just works perfectly in this screen due to the crowded section of the park, it's hardly noticeable.



Just an ordinary brake run right? If the extended spine wasn't enough....take a real close look here......what is that? Hacked on diagonal brakes for added realism?



Removing the track indicates it is....simply amazing...a hack nobody would ever notice, but it's added just for the sake of realism.



This inverted coaster might be the best layout I have ever seen in RCT2....and the atmosphere and interaction between rides is incredible......this is just pure gold with the placement of the course of Denali and the Intamin rapids ride...the lift goes directly up the center of the batwing. Perfectly supported, with the extended spine for realism, and a water pump dropping water on the rapids ride.



Great use of hacking on the roller-soaker track for added realism. It's just incredible that you took the time to do this especially when you were under a time restraint as it is....and yes, this is VERY tedious to do. But what I couldn't figure out is...what is with the orange water on the edge of the map? Clarification please?



I love the use of land blocks here....it is just a very creative idea that adds so much to the atmosphere.



This is simply beautiful to look at. The foilage on top adds so much here....it reminds me of my favorite hideaway at my home park Six Flags STL.



If the hacked chain return isn't enough (very tedious) there are signs all over the coaster that stick out so the riders can read them.



I just love the use of giga track to give off a curved atmosphere of the intersection between sections. It just makes the signs come together perfectly.



I don't know why, but I just love the train roaring over the entrance to the area. Must add so much to the guests experience.

And this isn't all there is in this park...there is so much and the sections were pulled off extremely well. The Hurricane memorial that the train rides by, all of the wonderful flat rides, the hub less ferris wheel (Did you get inspiration from the La Qua one?), and the water park all in that tiny map. Truly one of my favorite parks ever.

--------------------

Kukuana

Okay this park is just lovely.....when looking at this park it doesn't even feel like I'm playing RCT2. The builders of this park are some of my favorite park makers ever. I wish I could build and pull off an atmosphere half as good as these two. The park just looks and feels extremely real.

Onwards to the shots:



Just a simple transfer track hut for storage right? Wrong.



I mean this is incredible...and this isn't one time only, there are details in this park that are built over with -more- details.....the park makers put things in this park that obviously couldn't be seen, it is -that- well planned out. It's got the train....a control box to control the train, and shelves for maintenance, not to mention windows inside the building looking out! I've never seen any park maker do this.



I just love this shrine, and it adds to the atmosphere of the park perfectly.



Anyone who has played this game must know how hard it is to build diagonaly. For the most part there just aren't many scenery pieces that can accomplish this, but it is pulled off so well right here, and even more times throughout the park from the windows to the balcony.



I've always loved your custom flat rides RCTFAN...but what kind is this? It looks spectacular and I love the custom scenery as the seats. Can't wait for your tutorial



Out of the three rides in this park, two of them interact perfectly here....and add to it the custom supporting work to add more detail is brilliant.



This station is incredible...there is so much detail it is sick. You have to remove the roof to fully appreciate the thought that went into the queue line. It is very lovely.

Everything in this park is incredible.....these two parks probably hold my top 2 spots of the very few parks I've ever viewed in game.

--------------------

Hopefully I can get around to doing some more of these...and I hope others will too...just anything to breath some life back into this board.

Cheers.

Lol you were bored!

trav, the last two screens are very very well taken.
that's the thing about emergo's parkmaking. it's good, and skilled, but it doesn't flow. unless you take out the great bits and let them shine for themselves.

Busch Gardens Sydney was amazing. You're right, geewhzz, that foliage does make it look like the hideaway at SF STL.

I wish I could download Kukuana, though. When I tried, there was an object missing.

^Try again...it's a great park. It's my favorite park of H2H so far.

Wow, glad someone takes the time to REALLY look. I'll do some more of these for parks once I find my RCT disk again. H2H threw up some really good parks that deserve a closer look.

...but what kind is this?

Zierer Suspended Flying Carpet. Not too many of them have been built, I think the only two in existence are Monsoon at Tivoli Gardens and the one at Nagashima Spaland.

Awww... I can't find Kukuana... Where can I download it?
