(Archive) Advertising District / new solo

Right, so I havn't posted any screens here in what seems like forever. I missed fiesta, so I figured why not start a topic for my new solo. I'm not going to lie; I havn't gotten much done, but getting feedback early always helps to get the ball rolling.


Park Entrance and entrance plaza. Prize goes to whoever can guess what true park entrance this is inspired by.



Superman: Ride of Steel. Pretty tpical layout. A few nice drops, helixes, ejector hills, etc.

Comments and criticism are always appreciated.

Yay!

Looks great pal, but I think that vertical section of ROS sould just be a normal drop.
-JDP

Yay!

I like the vert drop, even though S:ROS only has a 68 degree drop IRL, the vert drop looks closer to the real thing, maybe cause of the isometric view of RCT. Plus Im sure zburns is going to say something like, "its not supposed to be an exact replica anyway" lol.

The vertical part is ok, though it should be a bit smaller. See the pic. above, the lower part should be way bigger the steep part shorter.
The entrance looks awesome, I only don't like the tan roofs.

oh: Yay!

Nice entrance btw is it Castle park Riverside California?

this looks good.
put whats the purpose of the maze and the castle in the first screen?

That entrance looks pretty darn nice. Maybe a bit too nice for a Six Flags park and a bit small-scale for a park that houses a S:ROS, but the actual content of the screen is very charming. I love the little announcement board thing.

Nice entrance, and good to see you building again...!!

If it is going to be peep-friendly, then look at the signs "Guest Relations" , compare it to the size of that handyman and you'll know that peeps cannot read that one without breaking their necks (unless from very far away...)
If it's not going to be peep-friendly, then it does not matter of course.

I would suggest losing that maze and putting path there instead. Right now you're trying to funnel all of your guests through that one narrow passage through the corners of those gardens and the maze. It might be fine for a lower volume of guests, but since it's Six Flags I'd imagine it'd be a very crowded place. The entrance itself looks fantastic and I'd love to see more details like that "tip board".

I guess the vertical drop works on the coaster, I guess. The drop on Superman at SFNE is between 70-80 degrees, compared to the one RE posted (which I think is at Darien Lake?).

Darien Lake?

Screens are great btw, it seems that many people are starting to make sf parks..

i like thoes little flags on top of the brown roofs.
the bulding looks good.
but why did you put a support bar over the windows?

^To give it a tudor wall look.
-JDP

Yeah, I agree with Nokia, you should get rid of the ones that are actually covering the windows but keep the other ones.
And as Steve said you need to widen that narrow path by at least one tile to make the guest flow into the area better.

Looks great though and I'm really excited to see more.

i think it looks good so far. and i think you should keep the drop on superman because you have the steep lift hill and it just looks weird if you have a steep lift and steep drop.

i look forward to seeing more.

wow! I love the entrance! I also think you should keep the vertical drop on superman. I think you should get rid of the front two tiles the gardens and trees thing closest to the single path. Maybe also do the same for the closest part of the maze, but please keep the maze because ride or not, it looks beautiful.

My bad for being late on the replies guys. Busy week with track and school.

@dlhand: Haha. Thanks man.

@JDP: Thanks JDP. I do understand everyone's concern with the vertical drop, because, well, Superman doesn't have a vertical drop. I just like how it looks like this--plus I wanted to try something new with it.

@Comet: Thanks man.

@r_e: Dude, its not supposed to be an exact replica anyway

@Luigi: Thanks. The pullout it pretty big, you just can't see it here. I'll play around with the brown roofs a bit too. Thanks for the suggestions.

@Chrixz: Thanks. And no, it's not.

@Supa-X: Thanks. Eh, the maze is filler, to be honest. The castle I just thought looked cool.

@][ntamin22: Thanks man. Hopefully the whole entrance plaza will look bigger when it merges with the main street.

@Emergo: Thanks Emergo. I actually agree with you 100%. Peep friendly or not, I should fix that. I'll see if I can do it without it looking too obtrusive.

@Steve: Thanks. I'm already reworking the entrance to fix that single path part.

@nin: You got it. I think Jman got it on RCPro also. The entrance is almost a 100% replica

@Nokia: Thanks. The support bars are supposed to make the buildings look tudor-ish. I don't know, I don't think theres a better way.

@Drew: Thanks man. I think I'm going to keep the vertical drop how it is.

@dr dirt: Glad you like it. I think I will keep the maze and the drop, and I'll be sure to fix that path.

Thanks again guys. Hopefully new update within the next few weeks.
