(Archive) Advertising District / Roanoke River Theme Park

I like. Nothing amazing, but its nice to see work like this some times. Only thing I dont like is that Que path with the rocks underneath it. That looks like crap. Other than that, well done.

Looks like a nice start to me. As has been said already, it looks pleasant and should turn out with a nice atmosphere. Just remember to mix things up a bit, like windows, roofs and structures in general, dont forget some changes in height too. With this being themed to the whole river/woods thing, i can imagine a bit more landscaping, but i'm sure that will come later.

The only thing that bugs me, is that coaster. It's called brass eagle, yet it's red? Hmmm.

@RCFanB&M: Thanks. I'll finish it.

@lucas92: I wasn't too sure about that myself. I'll see if I can fix that up.

@JDP: ^Same. Thanks for the comment.

@ACEfanatic02: I guess they could compare. Thanks.

@emo_ffaf: Landscaping has always been one of my weak points. I always end up neglecting it. I will definatly try to change that in this project though. As for the color thing... I tried a Brassy color but I didn't really like the way it looked in that area, so I made it red. I could try a different color scheme with that gold/brass color though. I'll try it and post a screen.

Now, Brass Eagle. (Considering a Color Change)
Brass Eagle is a flying coaster. Due to space, the ride could only be built with a 90' lifthill, but it still gives a pretty quick ride. The ride was built with low-speed inversions and wide turns for a very smooth ride. [ Note: The screens were taken before the ride was themed. These screens are a bit dated. Buildings, Colors, Textures, and Foliage have all been changed since then.] Now, for the screens...

^The lifthill is the most important part of the ride. Riders glide up the 90' lifthill at a low speed, giving them a sense of suspense.


^The first drop sends passengers down into a truely twisted turn.


^The ride sends guests through a turn on their backs, and back onto their bellies in a drop.


^After a quick brake run, riders drop into an on-ride photo booth, over the path below. Guests get a great view of the entire ride from here. Their facial expression at that point should be perfect for a photo.


^From that point, riders go into a full barrel roll directly over the queue. Anyone waiting in line gets a feeling of the ride ahead, and it really helps to get the adrenaline flowing before the ride even starts.


^Finally, the ride sends passengers into a helix and into a series of bunny-hops, where the ride finally comes to a stop.

Here's an overview. Remember, the screens are outdated, so it hasn't been themed yet.


I hope you all like it. It's actually my first attempt at a flyer, and I think the layout turned out pretty well.

The layout looks nice, however the station platform looks like a step-down from all the architecture in the park.

Just before it goes into the on ride photo booth, id take the banking off that little straight section after the drop since it looks a little odd. It seems like a pretty nice layout so kudos for that

Looks like a nice layout! Everything looks reallistic. Keep it up!

@inVersed: Like I said... the screens are outdated. Building have changed since then, including the station. I completly redid it, and will probably redo it again to get it perfect. Glad you like the layout though.

@Loopy: Everyone makes mistakes. That was mine. I'll fix that later today.

Thanks for the comments so far. I'll post a screen of all of the fixes just to prove I'm taking advice from you people. ol

I like the realism you give to this park. The coaster layout looks nice, are you going to show some screens of it (themed)?
Keep going.

It don't look too shabby. Not a huge fan of flyers, just for the fact there is like one in every park. But whatever. The layout looks okay. I mean it's not great or anything. Kind of thought there will be a pretzle loop. A common realistic element for a flyer. Reasonable unfinished screens though, since your just showing the layout.

I used to live in roanoke....
and there is no way in hell roanoke is that flat.
appalaichia, my man. think hillsides.

@RCFanB&M: I might show some more screens of the coaster themed, but I'd like to make some more progress on the park before I post anything else.

@JDP: Thanks

@][ntamin22: Lol, thanks.

Right now I'm working on a few of the bigger attractions in the park. I'll show some screens later this week if I get a chance.

saw the attraction list...
i still can't say it sounds much like roanoke at all.
but... that's ok. as long as the general theme is down.
Roanoke to me was the epitome of an appalachian town... it was a pleasant place tucked into the hills, rather sleepy, but with beautiful scenery. blue ridge mts. ftw.
This park is definitely pleasant-looking. the slightly rustic-looking wooden buildings are a good match for the region the oark is supposedly in, it's just the terrain that needs a little tweaking.
with a coaster named avalanche*, there should at least be a hill for the avalanche to come down somewhere.
I look forward to seeing the full project, so keep us updated.

*merits of there being an avalnche in roanoke may be debated seperately.

^You don't want to go to a park in Roanoke that's themed to Roanoke, right? I dunno about you, but when I visit a park, I want to see something different, and not something that looks the same as the town it's in. Roanoke is just the location of the park. I will be working on the terrain to match the location, but I will not be changing any of the rides/theming to match the town.
