Im sorry.

X, This work is great! I like the feel of the McDonalds, although with your talent I was expecting the sign to be made with 1/4 blocks. But this looks great nonetheless! I cant wait to see inside the park!

Second update

Sorry i haven't updated for a while, been very busy elsewhere with school, life, and figuring out Cork's pt2 entry code. But during that time, i have done a little bit of work on the first area in my new solo (i need good names people!). I have not got a lot of work done on the park yet, as i simply haven't had the time, and i expect things will be like this until July, then i reckon the thing will get finished in a matter of weeks due to me leaving school (wooo!). Anyway, enough excuses... here is another update, in association with itubes, the soccerAM alternative to itunes...

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

~~~~~~~ JORVIK FOREST ~~~~~~~

Jorvik Forest is a Viking themed area, with a dense woodland atmosphere and an assortment of rides, this is the area nearest the entrance, and is certainly a grand way to enter the park... The Jorvik (pronounced:- 'yorvik'), village section is built into a cliff valley, and therefore is vulnerable to terrential flooding down the two mountains either side of the village, therefore a complex system of wooden dams have been built to hold the water during the wettest periods of the year. So i thought if i was going to have all this water around in dams and stuff, i may aswell make the most of it with some sort of water ride. A mere log flume in this case, but through its journey you will find several strange twists from the norm, as it travels through its 4,00ft track- i shit you not! The ride is themed to 'Valhalla', at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in UK, just in case ya didnt know.

I have two sides of A4 paper totally crammed to the brim with ideas for this section, like a rampaging terrain coaster called 'Thor', a silver-smiths and a viking longboat play area... I'm going to do something different this time around, and actually select my ideas and not cram them all in... I learn from my mistakes.

I hope you enjoy this screen. I've tried to keep that realistic aspect that i promised in the first post, as you can see from the catwalk up to the turn-table lol. btw, this is just a taster of the area, this is by no means the best bit there...

Not too crowded, looks nice! Very peaceful. I'm lovin all the details here, like the stairs, the argonath objects, the jumping fountains round the gardens, the way you hid the entrance to the tunnel, the waterfall(with treaesure chest behinf it), the turntable.. I could go on like that . Also wondering, is it very close to the edge map. (right-down corner)

Edit: Hehe i found a mistake, you forgot to place one victorian roofrail

Wheres that roof rail!? I cant see it lol.

btw, its nowhere near the edge of the map, thats just a bit of landscaping in the bottom right. Need to put that straight. Thanks!

Looks very nice, I don't really know what else to say since Akasha said everything else.

i love the custom fence. excellent work, x250.

On the the covering ( by the way) just after the drop, with the darkgreen steep rooves.

I was just wondering about the mapedge, if it was the mapedege it was really to close. Then I wouldn.t even have noticed it when looking at the park.

I do like the idea and its looking nice. But please stay realistic...try not to get carried away.

Brilliant as always, X250...

Not entirely realistic, but not too far off, really.

Nice trick with the flowers, BTW.

I really like what you have going X, although I think there could be a better alternative to the huge wall. You already got the landblocks in one portion, why not have them go all around instead of the wall? Maybe even half waterfalls coming down it. It would look much more natural and more aesthetic in my opinion.

However, I really like that fence. It's going to sound strange, but fencing was always your strong point. Hehe. Keep it up!

that is what they called a so know GLITH... (or how en good man will spell it )

but X great work as always man!

PS. where can i get the Mushrooms?

Ahh, a new parkmaker at work....

This is good stuff, as usual X. Some really great attention to detail going on here, which is something I love about your parkmaking today.

My favorite detail here is the covered wooden structure the flume goes thru just after the drop. Great stuff.

As for negatives, well, I think you've got too much knick-knackish stuff in there (i.e. dinosaur fences, torch, two types of barrels, numerous textures). It sorta kills the theme imo, makes it less refined sorta. I'm also mixed on the water. Its got a big rock jutting out, but has man-made walls. It just gives of a sort of artificial feeling. And the open chests look a little out of place imo. I dunno, I'm probably being a bit overly critical, but you wanted feedback.

Keep at it X-to-the-50.

ps JDP - You might word that differently next time. Your comment sounds as if you are telling X how to build his parks, instead of expressing your opinions.

Fantastic. I actually like the wall. Little touches in that screen alone would keep me busy...

Pretty nice work. Love that fence as I've told you X. Don't like the name Jorvik though, as it means York in old english. You can probably get away with it though as it is vikings and all.

The landblocks could be made to look a little more natural I think. But I really like the dam, the flamingo, and that tunnel.

Great details like this make a park worth looking at over and over again. I like the direction this park is headed, so keep it up.

Vikings! uh oh.......

Screen looks very nice

I think its nice, but there should be a little more straight track after that drop or else the boats will take that turn too fast. It seems like you have some room to work with there, so it should be fine.

rct's water rides stop quite fast... but visually, intuitively speaking phatage speaks true words.

Anyways, i really like the screen. It's a lot calmer than your pt entry. I would never build a water ride like that (up on some kind of block) but it seems to work out.
