FullMetal, it looks cool. Just needs some more stuff, but it's obviously unfinished.

cocoa, i'm sorry to hear. here's trying to help: your planning is flawed. you need ideas like they were created in j k's topic. i'm assuming you might have planned the look of things, as in what objects you're going to use where, but this does not help you. gather ideas and concepts, the theoretical content, not the visual.

So true, posix!

Agreed I spend so long planning because I know how important it is. All rct creations should have the base of a great idea that you can fall back on. If you don't have that "big idea" your work can seem pretty random and uninspired.

For me personally, it's a very big issue I always encounter when building something. I always lose interest or just don't feel like building on it anymore.

That said, there are things that get me to build on the piece again. One of the most important things is I just want to get it completed. It's just a waste of the previous time and effort I put in not to complete it. Also, more recently, new custom scenery objects I discovered when browsing through my object folder inspired me. Or objects I created myself inspired me. Another time, pictures of a themepark inspired me or screens/parks from other parkmakers..

The most important thing is to have a GOAL though.
(For me, like I said, is to get it completed and share it with other people)

Great, but not flawless. I think the umbrellas are too low and I can't figure out what the coloured stuff on the right of the shop is. Looks a little like a small buffet, but that would be weird in the open air.

it looks like the kinda thing you might grab a cake or a cool drink from when you have a tray, like in a cafe. i like it, but in the open air i feel like i could just go in and take a drink/cake etc and walk off and know one would know.

In response to both of you, it's where they keep condiments and napkins. You pick up your food at a pick-up window facing the seats. That area's just to get condiments and napkins.

Liam, those are condiments. The yellow/red is the ketchup/mustard and I'm guessing the blue ones are napkin dispensers?

Either way its a great idea pulled off fucking flawlessly in my opinion. I agree the umbrellas are a little low, but the surroundings are pleasant.

ahh well, it wasnt clear at the time. sorry ^-^

I think napkins and condiments is not-done in open air. What if it starts to rain? Solution: canvas-roof.

Just noticed something else. The tables in the back are very hard to reach, imagine people sitting around the front tables, you have to choose between climbing a fence, climbing people or not going to the table at all.

you'd be surprised.

I can't believe no one else said this: Robbie, your tables need chairs.

Actually the problem is I planned theoretically but not objects and how to actually implement them.

Het zijn waarschijnlijk gewoon bar tafels, waar mensen aan staan, dan is het dus makkelijker er langs heen te wurmen in plaats van over de stoelen/tafels. 

I absolutely LOVE the menu boards above the order/pick-up window, great touch.

Holiday World actually had something like this. The condiments and napkins were on a cart, and when it rained, we had to bring everything inside and ask people if they wanted ketchup or mustard. But we never really got many customers when it rained, because everyone would go to someplace that was indoors (which obviously wasn't us). And the customers we did get just wanted something to drink, or a pretzel.

Anyway, enough rambling. I love the screen, robbie! There's just so much to look at in that one screen, it's incredible!

Great, but not flawless.

Why does it need to be flawless?

Great stuff robbie you seem to have grasped the right amount of detail needed for this project, and not gone overboard.

Lol, I don't understand why everyone is going nuts on robbie, and that statement is not specific to this topic. The screen is unbelievably detailed to the point where you're arguing whether or not ketchup is kept inside or out. Does that not mean anything to you? Get over yourselves.
