You are starting to use the resources available to you better, good job.

Must say it looks superb, thouhg i prefer more fantasy based building.

IMO there is too much white in the first screen and too much black in the second screen.

Why in the hell haven't I been tracking this?

The screen of the enterence area and all of them of Top Gun have me drooling inside. Keep going with this, it's definently more than worthy of an undepateable runner up status, or SRU... Spotlight is probably out of the question, but it's still some really amazing stuff man.

The MI: III stunt should looks a little dark, really the movie isn't that dark in look (though it is in feel during certain points). I'd suggest working in a bit more grey and/or white into it to lighten things up a bit and maybe some crimson-red trim or something.

Still, everything looks very very good, and it looks like you're really working on this so it's got me quite excited now.

Ride6

The first SS is very cool. The coaster is a bit too much white. Perhaps change the "track Rails" to gray or black.

Keep it up!

Thanks for all the responses guys.

vekoma9: Thanks. I'll see if I can add in maybe some red accents in to break up the black.

Brent: Alright, cool.

JDP: Thanks man.

eman: Thanks. What do you mean about the blue building though? I'm not questioning your opinion, I'm just a bit confused about what you're saying.

geewhzz: Thanks. Well, I said that if I had to step things up a notch and be resourceful, i'd do my best. Happy to know I'm on the right track.

w33maniac: Thanks man.

Gwazi: For the first screen, I might end up adding brown or white rails on The Racer and for the second, as I said to vekoma9, I'll try to add some red accents in there to break up the black.

Ride6: Thanks man. It means a lot. Oh, and by the way, I've only seen the original MI. I'll try to check out the third one when I get the chance to maybe get a better idea of how I can add some touch-ups.

RCTNW: Thanks for the reply. And you read my mind about the rails on the Racer haha.

Again, thanks everyone for the responses.

Screen 1: The racer looks good, and i see a little bit of parking lot there,, that's getting the job done right! I'm not fond of the steep rooves on the purple building however, I just hate the object altogether.

Screen 2: Excellent! It's obvious you spent a LOT of time on this....I love the lightning bolts....


I really like your style! It's similar to but not as large scale as RCTNW....

BTW, why are the forums screwed up today? It took me 20 minutes to post and edit this....and other websites were working fine....

I had originally intended to only post this on RCPro, but it's a small screen, so why not.


I've been working on this thing since before Christmas, so consider this kind of a victory screen since it's finally done:)

Things I don't like:

Seems that the coaster's supports still stick out...

The woody-something glitches with the balcony

I don't like the balcony pathing. I'd suggest using a brighter path.

Kinda repetetive foliage. I'd try to vary it a bit. And remember: In reality, there are also places without trees ^^

Loving the trackitechture for that rapids ride! Are you gonna send this in for Spotlight?

I like it. I think its a nice realistic screen you got there. I'm pretty sure that you got a Schwarzkopf on the bottom right of the screen. Looks teasing.

Apart from the fact that there may be too much grey on that building so it looks a little bit boring, I think that you've done good job.

The layout of the rapids looks thrilling, and it's good to see that you're making it interact with lanscaping and buildings/structures. I like the wooden coaster tracks you placed along with the track of the rapids on that section...they fit well. The foliage is also nice, you gathered some different shades of green, so the colors don't look weighty/dense. If I were you, I'd work a little bit more on the supports of the Intamin coaster, just because I'm not a fan of RCT standart supports heh...but that's just personal taste.

Anyway, I'm very glad this park is still going, and I hope to see another update soon Keep going man.

that rapids ride looks really fun....the minigolf catwalk is cool, as is the trackitecture.

I don't know, I think you're foliage is okay, not too dense.

Finally, the last of the park's major coasters...Grizzly.


The SoB inspired layout. The lift height and drop are nearly 200 feet.



The train is really booking when it enters the loop shown here, but the pacing is fine:)

That's all for now. Park progress is probably 80%-85%. Feel free to comment and criticize as always. Thanks.

Did you seriously get that chainlift to work on that steep hill? I've been trying all day, but I can't get that to work with my 8Cars (v.1.32). I even downloaded it again...

The layout looks good but huge, if you know what I mean.

It looks so weird with the steep lifthill.. lol.
Maybe some bushes here and there?

Did you seriously get that chainlift to work on that steep hill?

It pretty easy first you build the vert coaster with the lift (not flat to steep it wont work) have flat to semi-steep slope, then steep, only build the the lift, do not build the rest of the coaster. then go to 8cars and change it into the wooden coaster. im pretty sure it works with all versions of 8cars.

what are the speeds of the train through those last few elements there? In general, I think that your idea is good but your building technique can be improved to draw out the helices more to feel more like SOB.

It's really tall. It's taller than it is long, if that makes sense. Visually, I think it would look better if there were more of a hiatus of tall track between the first drop and second hill and a flatter section leading up to the loop, you know, stretch it out more (unless you're pressed for space). But the layout is excellent, it's definitely SOB-like.

It's been a while, so I figured I'd post something. As of now, park progress is probably around 90%, so hopefully that means I'll be done by mid-late June. Anyway, here's a screen of some atmosphere in the area of the park where Paramount Studios meets Hannah Barbera Land (hopefully that explains the painfully bright buildings:))...



Please feel free to comment and criticize. Thanks.
