(Archive) Advertising District / Dreamport!

Anyone else dying for a coaster picture yet?

Dying for any picture.

That would spoil it but I'm glad I'm only showing the smallest amount of the park.

I admire your way of advertising. With every tile I build I feel like showing it to the community. It's hard to keep control.

Lol thanks Liam. There are 5 big coasters just for your knowledge. One a guest spot from JDP and one I've worked on with RCTFAN. Both are very good and its been amazing to theme them.

Yeah its very hard to restrain yourself to advertise a lot but I wanna keep the most of my park my own thought process. Besides my guest spots can pick up on anything if I don't see it. Keeping it like this just makes me build for myself and no one else and its fun keeping you guys in suspense.

Which reminds me I have something for you to look at if you want to check something special out.

Msn? or aim?

Liampie you on aim or Msn? I have neither.

i'll probably PM as it's a file

A little late but.. It keeps getting better with each screen. You really seem to have found the theme with this last one; it all fits together so well. The building on the right needs some work on the counter area, and maybe change the roof to the more vibrant brown.

Holy cow, J K. That mansion is amazing! I love all those little details and the ambulance is a great touch.

Great stuff.

Dr Dirt - Thanks Drew. Yeah agreed that building needs more details. Thats the problem with everything in this park. It just needs more details!!!!!!

RCTA- Thanks a lot. This ambulance is going down well so I just need to create more details like that. Thanks for your comment.

Working on another update right as we speak! I smell a coaster!!!!

Hi guys well as some of you know I have an area in Dreamport that is based on Mexican culture and such. I'm halfway through the area and my ideas are pretty limited for this section. I really like the area too much to delete it so I need some help.

Anyone been and took any pictures?
Any drunken nights there on tequila?
What is the culture like?
Any traditions?

I've looked into things like day of the Dead and it wouldn't fit into the park but any other ideas would be brilliant.

Any general help would be awesome as I want to add a lot of ideas.

Pinatas.

dude, you should build something along the lines of this:

contrary to popular belief, mexico is quite a bright country, and not just full of brown, tan, and white colors for its buildings.

i love settlements like this where houses are built like, into the side of a mountain and are stacked up on eachother.

i'm not too sure what you already have, or what you're going for, but i hope this might give you a bit of inspiration:]

I've seen that before but its reminded me how much i loved the ammount of colour. It is already quite colourful but I do have something I could take from that. Thanks a lot

Liampie Thankyou as well. I have one already but I'm thinking of a ride focused on smashing them. Any more ideas?

chichen itza, or this http://www.travelyuc....com/xel-ha.php

Pinatas, Fiestas, El Chupacabra, Mayas, Sombreros, Tequilas, Cactus trees, Mariachis, Pueblos, Tacos, Tortillas, Chilis, Salsa, Soccer, Jaguars,...

That's all I can say of Mexico.

I found this on Wikipedia:

Real de Catorce ('Royal Fourteen') is named for 14 Spanish soldiers killed here in an ambush by Chichimec warriors. Although a town had been there for many years, silver was discovered in the local mountains in 1772 and a few years later in 1779 the village was officially founded. The parish church was built between 1790 and 1817. Real de Catorce's heyday was in the late 19th century, when it had a population of 15,000, with some of Mexico's richest silver mines and a mint, as well as a bullring and shops selling European luxury goods. It was almost completely abandoned when the price of silver plummeted after 1900; only a few people remained in this pueblo fantasma (ghost town), eking out a living from mine tailings and an annual influx of pilgrims to a reputedly miraculous image of St. Francis in the parish church. Today, its main income comes from tourism. Several major commercial motion pictures have been filmed in Real including Bandidas (featuring Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz), The Mexican (featuring Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts), and some scenes of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (featuring Humphrey Bogart).

What about an adventure ride through an abandoned mine, called Pueblo Fantasma? Somewhat cliche, but not bad I guess.

abandoned mine ride is cliche. make it a fourteen-track dueler


seriously though? Mexico's a large, diverse country. You can do almost anything.

yucatan jungle with mayan temples- family water coaster with a drop down the side of a temple as main attraction. massive "Excavation" play area amongst the ruins for kids, an indoor giant top spin [like tomb raider] for adults. other ideas: [S&S tower that launches out of a temple. Ball courts. show about mayan history/lore. A cave deep in the jungle...]

baja dunes- rally racing themed. small town/outpost at area entrance, sprawling rally duelers taking up most of the rest. Something like Carsland, sort of.

Goddammit ][, thanks for stealing my idea

I'm sure Kumba thought of it well before I did.

or at least Disney did ;p

All those things you mentioned aren't really Mexican... I think ancient Middle America is a very different theme than colonized Middle America/Mexico. Two different civilizations; like mixing ancient China and Dubai.

But it's still Mexico. It's not like Mexico and Canada mixed together like Dubai & China would be like. It still fits the same theme.
