hahaha, awesome

Update: Backlot Studio Tour - Entrance



Here is the finished screen from the last fiesta. First time I've really played with using track for supports. I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks.

Now if someone like CP6 or Geewhzz posted a screen that size; people will enjoy it and have something to comment on. That reason is because they work on a small scale. However, you work on a large scale. So bigger screens would actually be better to tease you fans than smaller ones (even though most teasers are small screens).

Get what I mean James?

Ok, I think I'm confused. JDP - Are you saying that the above SS I posted yesterday was not big enough because that would have been a first for me? ACE was correct in that the smaller image was to help explain the support system in place that was being shown in the larger version. Also, you may want to look at all the posts not just certain ones as you might miss something (such as the larger SS) and make yourself look like an idiot.

^No. I could not see that one for the fact it was a blank image.

Now I can see it.
-JDP

Wow.

It seems so bizzare to not see any fences or walls holding anything up. Wow. Fantastic. The best thing about it is that that is something that Universal would do. Bravo. Not only is it great RCT work, it is great Universal work. And the monorail on the roof? I love it.

You never cease to impress me. I can't wait for this. As far as your earlier comment on the Shrek attraction, I've always thought it would be an easy one to do. Kind of a castle-y facade with a canvas texture covering a bunch of the queue.

Anyway, keep on trucking. I can't wait.

.....
just .. stop talking, jdp ._.
before you make it worse

Nah. Ill keep going. Come on people!..... How long how have you known me for?

Great work James.
-JDP

Do you know what ace? Your right. Holy fucking shit. Dude you are soooo on key with that post. I mean damn. I didn't see it untill you actually said something. Your great at what you do ace, you really are...

...Seriously ace. What you said, and what I was talking about were two different subjects. So what I suggest doing, is going to the dollar store. Get one of those small plastic shovles and dig that sand out of your vagina.

classic

How about you morons talk about the park, instead of discussing the already-established fact that JDP is somewhat of an idiot. (Just a suggestion. ) Although, that was readily apparent with his lack of adequate grammar skillz. And here I am contributing to this nonsense.

...

James, did you try the all-white/all-tan supports? I think one color might help the track look more like a support rather than just a piece of coaster track.

zodiac - Thanks. Glad you liked it

Geoff - Thes the tough part about this project as it will not have the flats and other "things" to help give it motion. I'm working on it though

eman - I understand and I think you and Geoff are looking at the park with the same expectation and one I can see why.

postit - Thanks and I'm glad you like it. I've looked over the are recently and I'm not sure I like it right now. Yes I like the supports however I don't like the exection of the actual que. I'm going to wait until I get back from my trip next month before I decide on a permanent change though. As for Shrek, thanks for the suggestion and I'll see what I can do. Thanks again

John - Sorry I didn't get back to your suggestion. I have looked at both the all white and all gold version and I agree that it needs to be all one color, I'm just not sure which one yet. I'll be sure to post it when I make my decision. Thanks again

I would not call it lifeless and dull in any way, however this giga track suspending the covers is really overused in that screen. It's a great idea, but it's becoming overkill in the last screen. Looks great otherwise

wouldn't the roof sway in the wind? it's an interesting way of supporting, but it'd be rather impractical in real life, i'd think.

I think they would only sway alittle if they were rigid poles instead of steel cables.

They are steel cables however the edge of the awning is connected to the inside edge of the support to provide the rigid stability that it needs.

Whew, pulled that out of my arse.

Its cool though that you are looking at kind of detail and questioning the reality of it. Thanks

James - rctnw

i think it's wonderful.
i like how your parkmaking is based on system and unity and yet shows a lot of original and creative influences.

Sad to report that MUS is on hold and may or may not return. I jumped into this map before really planning anything out like I normally do and I’m not happy with it. MUS may come back to life in a different version, layout and location, but for now, it is out of the project. That said, preliminary plans are in the works for that particular landmass and it will be the third park of the chain to go with MGA and MMW. Details of this third park will be released later this spring and the crews are racing to get the plans finalized.

Although I’m disappointed that MUS is being pulled from the project, I’m very happy with the new plan and has helped spark new life into the project

Thanks
