I think you should take out that last dip before the brake run and have the brake run start earlier, B&M's are notorious for long brake runs. Also pay close attention to the transfer track system they implement, and if this coaster has an mcbr, there should be three storage tracks; one for each train. If no mcbr, then two.

Incredible Hulk sure doesnt have a long brake run. That thing kills. I do agree though, the brake run should be a bit longer. Also, the footers for the lift hill dont look like they are connected the the support. You should make them one block higher, and move 1 quarter square over to make it look more realistic.

Another thing..

Learn how to crop your screens better.


And your chain stops way before the chain return..might want to change the three pieces to lift hill pieces..

because its split up

The supports appear to be on the wrong side of the cement blocks... Perhaps use the half-tile block from Toon's art deco materials to make it appear more realistic. If you have it...

Looks good otherwise.

Yes, please please please, make easier to look at screens. The better you present yourself with your material the better the reaction will be.

Yeah. I apologize for the cropping. I currently do not have access to photo shop, therefore I am limited to paint. I just tried to blank out the unfinished stuff. I'll do better next time.

^Select the area you want to show - copy it. Open a new image, paste, adjust size to fit, and save as .jpg. Should save from graininess a bit too.

Anyway, I like how this looks so far, but I agree with Phatage: Fix the area around the break run.

Going back to the impulse, IMO you really need to start using real rooves. Meaning, ones with textures. I know what you're going for (I think, at least) but it doesn't look good at all.

actually, save it as a .png. that way the quality doesn't get lost as much.

Hey guys. Here's just a quick update of some stuff I've been working on. Mostly, I've been concentrating on the main midway, but also another path branching off of it. So, here are a couple of pics...


Here is the new brick oven pizza castle back dropped by Entropy


The John Allen designed "Racer." Ignore the articulated style trains in the station. The coaster actually runs one train forward and the other backwards (6 riders per car).

Please feel free to comment and critisize! I know that the landscaping is non existant so far, basically because there is never much landscaping on main midways. Enjoy.

They look okay...the thing we mean about your screens is make sure the game is zoomed in all the way for these close up screens, unless you are going for a bigger look of the area. Then, crop what you want shown in the screen, and if you want it smaller, resize the image.

Zburns I like the park so far. I would suggest adding some more supports. It looks like it is floating a little.

Im enjoying the realism feel to the park but yet nothing is really amazing me. And yes the quality of the screens look like crap in my eyes, so i think thats killing the screens for me as well. One more thing, get rid of those horrible looking pickit wooden fencens. Just my 2 cents though. keep it up...

Looking really good.

This looks really good except for some questionable objects (i.e. 1st screen - wheat grass, pirate nets, 2nd screen - picket fences, station roof pieces). Maybe they will fit into the whole area, but in these screens, they seem strange to me.

In the first screen, it looks like it could be one of those basketball games and the pirate net is the netting to keep the balls in?

^Thanks for the comments guys.

@oXide: Yep, the pirate net is part of a basketball game. Some of the hoops are just visible on the edge of the screen.

@Jkay: Yeah, I see what you mean. Honestly, I forgot to finish off that area near the water in the first screen. It should look better when I finish. And, the picket fences seem to be questionable, so I will consider what to do with that.

@-JDP: Thanks. As I said above, I'll consider what to do with the picket fences, and I'll continue to try to better the quality of the material I present.

@123freak:I see what you mean. I went back and added a few supports in needed areas right away.

@Geewhzz: As I said, I'll keep experimenting with the screen shots. Sorry about that.

Again, thanks.

Hey guys. I've been doing a good amount of work the past couple of days and I just wanted to share a few pics since its been a while since last update...


Here is the stadium I have been working on for a while. I tried to give it an old European look.


Here is a small screen shot that shows the south station of the Paramount Trolley Co. The main building is McMurray's Hotel Bar and Grille.


Here is Ricochet, a standard wild mouse. I spent a while with the supports.


And finally a shot of the main midway, with the trolley, Paramount Star Theater, and Gino's Itallian Restaurant.

I know its a lot of screens but I havn't shown anything in a while and the project kind of made its way down the page.

Sorry for the perimeter fence. I will get rid of it so I can add necessary service roads into the park, but it will stay for now.

Please tell me if the screen quality is ok. I'm not an expert on taking good screen shots so sorry if they're not great. I'll keep trying.

So, please feel free to comment and critisize. Thanks.

it looks really good, resembles Premier Amusement Park quite a bit. i would suggest when you take your pictures to close all the windows in the rct screen (or press a button, i dont remember which one it is) so the land squares arent visible.

The mouse looks promising, but you need to sort out that catwalk.

I notice in the last screen there is a floating piece in the top of the screen. It looks like you have put a tree where there used to be a building.

Also i like the diving show.
