(Archive) Advertising District / Unnamed realistic styled park...

Before I show screens...let it be known I am aware of the plethora of custom scenery that seems to be expected in parks today. However, I prefer a more traditional style, and therefore have used very limited amounts of custom scenery. Some may also question if I have any experience with RCT, the answer is yes, although it has been several years...and i frequented RCTstation. With that said I have also browsed NE for several years, just not as a member.

With that said here are some screens of a realistic styled park I began working on. I realize my style may turn some of you away as it isn't the "norm" but we each have our own styles and this is mine. With this in mind all comments good and bad are accepted, but keep in mind I'm building for my own enjoyment...


The station for the chairlift...this pic is my favorite view in the park and I'm not sure why.


This pic shows the queue and part of the unnamed stand-up.


Another shot of the small frontier/western section, but this time a shot of an unnamed floorless coaster.


The Sky Tower and some of the surrounding area.


An older, much more simplistic corkscrew roller coaster with a double corkscrew over the midway.

Again comments of any type are welcomed!

Well, I think it looks awesome. It has that feel to it that you can only get in a non-custom park.

The only thing I don't like is the colour of the flowers, they need to be changed.

wow. i think its really good, its got a LL feel only in rct2.

like trav, change the flowers, espically the ones on screen 2 & 3

liking the style, and the fact that you mostly use regular scenery but it looks so real. yeah, the flowers in the last 3 screens need a color change, especially around the purple floorless coaster. kinda revolting in a way

^I totaly agree with you. I really thought this was LL too. Im not going to lie... i really do like it. Its not detailed really but its realistic which i love most and and seems promising and like you put time into it. Good job. Simple but, i like it.

Its quite nice actually. Not the norm as you said but I like it for what it is.

Yeah, it's quite nice. Despite the lack of detailed building materials, the structures have nice forms to them. I especially like the building around the base of the sky tower. This looks like how parks did in Rct2 before a lot of custom scenery came out, only it still manages to look very skillfully done.

I am in love with the feel this park has to it because of the minimal custom scenery. I can't wait to see more from this park

heh, well you've definitely been around rct communities before, lol.

i like the screens overall.
however, the architecture is rather insecure and the flowers and trees are a too obvious comfort zone for you.

You dont need custom scenery IMO, you have skills with the basics
Nice color schemes too

Kind weak archy, but the atmosphere is quite nice. The ride placement looks great, and I like the overall feel to the park.

Looks nice...
I like the fact that you created a pleasant realistic atmosphere without custom objects. The structures are well done, although you could add some more details...that would give a more interesting look to the buildings. The foliage is ok, I'd just change the colors of some flowers...I'd use another color for the flowers of the unnamed florless coaster and the flowers of the unnamed stand-up.
Anyway, this looks pretty nice. Keep going.

I don't like how you have flowers the same colour as the coasters. It works for the pink, but not the purple, in my opinion. That said, it's obvious that you have a lot of experience and maturity with the game, and that first screen is framed very well. I think you could experiment with a couple more textures in the architecture, using wood and brick in conjunction, for example, it all looks a bit standard at the moment.

I want to go play RCT without much custom scenery now. I do have one suggestion, however. I think that you should have brought in Toon's new custom supports. "Not much custom scenery, but a little," is what you said, and Toon's supports, are not a lot of custom scenery as a whole.

The wood section looks very nice. I really, REALLY like the feel that you've got going on in the first screen. But something about when you use those tan and grey non-wood sides makes the building look hollow. I dunno if it can be worked around because you're going for a more traditional feel (which you're doing well at), but it's my opinion.

Overall, though, great job. It looks like you know what you're doing when it comes to the rides, as well.

comon now, when's the last time you saw support towers on a b&m?

Does alpengeist counts? It does have towers on its lift.

am I the only one who doens't like it.
I understand that you don't want to use the much custom scenery, but even without custom scenery you could give some more atmosphere in the park, almost the whole building has the same color and the walls are all very plain...maybe this is a sort of good 'ol LL feeling .... but if I want that feeling I could look at an LL park. in a LL park it is an archievment to build nice buildings etc. in a rct2 park you've got so much more oppertunities to build nice things ... and you use none.
I can't keep thinking that parks without much custom scenery are just to masque there skills ....
sorry that I'm that negative but 4 years ago this was nice...now it's not, altough you try to build according to the old standarts. The old standarts are outdated ... so I park that is build with those standards is that to!

No, I see the use of custom scenery as a way to masque their skills, too. Put in some customs and you can make it look nice. But it takes more to do that without them. Sure, if you use them in a way to help making details and bring more atmosphere to a park, it shows more skill, but if you have skill you can pull it off without many customs as well. So customs don't make a park 'better'.

I think you did a good job. But as said, it could use better supports.
Reminds of prince in a way.

good job
