(Archive) Advertising District / Cedar Fair's El Dorado Peaks

After totally losing my last cedar fair park from a major computer crash. I finally decided to build a new cedar fair park. Compared to my last one, this one will be MUCH more detailed. Not to brag, but I can say that I've improoved quite a bit though, that's not my say considering you guys are the critics.

Anyway let's get on to the park. I really hate the fact that I wasn't able to advertise the park's topic more formally, but since right now I'm in a rush, I'll just post pictures and include logos, maps, etc. later on. Otherwise, the park's name is El Dorado Peaks. All inspired by pieces of other Cedar Fair parks including my imaginary one I was building before (Idlewood).


On to the pictures,
(Take note, some of the pictures that will be showed will probably have unfinished foilage, buildings, and/or rides)


The first thing you see when you enter, is the front sign. I'm not really fond of the sign so I probably might take it off and replace it with a better one.


Here are the ticket booths and metal detactor gates.


Here's another look at the gates and ticket booths. The tower in the back is unfinished by the way.


A good look at the midway. You can see several shops and the Customer Service Headquarters Tower or, The CSHT.


That's sky transport. It transports the GP to the other end of the park. You can also see a small shop.(Which currently doesn't have a purpose yet)


Macdonalds, a Restroom, and The Fastpass station can be seen here.


This screen shows the one and only classic ride that can be found in the park. Hurricane. It has plenty of airtime and laterals ::


The park even has a Panda Express!


Here is the Olive Garden Italian Cuisine restaurant.


I have no name for this theatre and it's unfinished. Yeah.



I really didn't want to show you guys this screen, but I decided to anyway. It shows what I am currently focusing on in the park. Yes the track will be invisible, and no, it will not look anything like this when it's done!


Anyway stay tuned for the next update cause more is coming!

One of the best starts to a park i've ever seen. Everything looks lovely, everything fits, and I really hope you carry on and finish it.

The M needs to be a little taller

I agree with JJ, the M could stand to be a little bigger. I'm not too big on the two-toned path either, but it's a good start.

This is one of the best things I've seen in a while. I really hope you'll finish this one.
One thing I would suggest is making the entrance a little more grand. It looks nice, but it's very low as compared to your tall buildings just a few feet later. It doesn't have to much, but maybe have a central tower or something just to give it a little height.
Besides that, though, I really like what you're doing so far. Will be interesting to see how you continue with this.

Other then some poor selections of plants for the planters it does look pretty promising. Keep it it and I could see this park getting an NE release

Thanks. I hope I can finish it too. Lol.

On the Mcdonalds sign?

Ok, I'll try to see what I can do to vary the path thanks.

Oh thanks much. Actually though, there is a primary entrance you guys haven't seen yet. It's not pictured because it's not done but it's much grander and it's perpendicular to the gates.

Yeah, shrubbery and greenery isn't my strongest point.

Wow, BIG improvement since Idlewood. Everything looks great, and the woodie looks interesting.
-Funny thing, today I was planning to make a Spanish-themed Six Flags park!

i'm loving it.
good work.

Hate it to be very "negative", and am only doing that when I think something does have so much potential that it is worth doing that....

This park is a very good start I think, but in my so critical eyes it is turning out messy: you used good/interesting forms, and loads of details... only those details don't seem to have any coherence or real logic.
Difficult to express for me in English as well as because it is so much...

Take the 5th screen as an example ("that's sky transport"): loaded with RCTIP-blocks and the like to make it "detailed", but in form and colour they don't have any cohesion, even not on the same building....: one (on the same building) ends in a curved piece in light brown, another one stops just in dark brown in square, .... on buildings there are those things in two colours in brick, and also in another colour in stone... , etc. etc. etc....

If it is "fantasy" I personally find that ugly (hurts my eyes, these amateurish clashing of styles), if it is supposed to be "realistic" I think even the most-cheaply -themed parks do better on that..

And sometimes less is more....

Now layout and interaction of buildings, paths and rides, as well as forms of buildings all seem great here, so I think it's more than worth it to not just "use details" for the sake of using them and throwing them on, but also paying attention to them, so that they can add instead of just being distracting....

Apart from that...good start!

Emergo

I am really liking the way that rapids is turning out so far. One of the most promising projects in recent memory, here.

Wow, the detail in it is amazing. Can't wait to see more progress.

It looks like a great park! I agree with Kumba; it deserves an NE release when it's finished! (But I'm not the admin, so... I can't help you there.) One thing I don't like though, are the palm tree planters in the last few screens. The red base just doesn't seem to go well with the trees, IMO.

I do enjoy A&W Rootbeer, though, and the mug on the side of the stand looks neat (it needs a handle, though, unless we can't see it ). I also enjoy Coldstone (which happens to be right next door), so if this park ever actually exists, I would probably spend a good 25% of my time there.

better start than most 'zomg look i made a park entrance' AD topics by a good bit. architecture looks solid and well-detailed. the entrance / ticket area would look so much better surrounded by green stuffs rather than dirt.. make it happen.
i love the little touches with the mug and ice cream signs, and if you can hold up this level of detail throughout the park it'll be a winner, alright. The hurricane station building looks like Gemini's, sort of.. i think it is maybe to much white, though it might just be the texture.

Awesome, the entrace looks great.

The wooden roller coaster is awesome, I want more screens, and the blue accents were really a jump out on a limb. They work great.

The new ride looks cool too.

Also the teaser of the giga coaster is nice.

Your park has an awesome start!

I totally agree with Emergo: It's extremely overdetailed and messy, and not realistic.
I never saw buildings like this ones...

Wow, I love this! But I do agree with Emergo and Liampie, too overdetailed. Another thing I really don't like is the amount of red, just use some more colors and this project will turn out great! The start of the new attraction with the hack looks quite cool already.

Nice start, can't wait for new updates!

I say drop the Cedar Fair part and make the name just El Dorado Peaks.
This park doesn't scream Cedar Fair at all to me, and they don't really use McDonald's. But if you have some planned attractions that would need the Cedar Fair name then I understand.

Perfect! Keep it as it is right now.
