(Archive) Advertising District / Woodfall Park

imagine youre a kid...
would you be excited to be running down a straigt platform?
i wouldn't. i'd personally modify it to make it a bit more interesting and adventurous. maybe add shit like netting walls and stuff. well done with them slides, they look fantastic, no joke. take a look at all your supports, too, they look alot flimsy.

I really love the realistic quality of this park. The bobsled turn on the log flume is a really great idea! Mind if I borrow it?? haha

I hope you keep going with this park! I'm looking forward to seeing more screens.

The proslide racer is fantastic. Not sure about the other screen, though, as it really seems to be missing something. I think replacing all your support work on that structure with B&M supports might give a more cartoon-ish look, and also create the effect that the beams are thick with layers of foam padding so kids don't kill themselves. Oh, and for the sake of realism, maybe consider some drains on the ground for the water flowing off the end of the slides to the left. Other than that, it looks really nice.

Thanks for the help guys!

To wrap things up, the play structure in the final release will be more interesting than this - still reworking that. I realize just because one real park has a disappointing play structure like this doesn't give me an excuse to half-ass mine for a park that's much better. I didn't go with the B&M supports at first because the rest of the structure appears disconnected from the supports and just floating since they are not lined up on the edge of the tiles or anything. And AvanineCommuter, go for it - many of us use that technique for log flumes. The last major coaster has been added as well.


After Thunder Run was demolished, it was replaced in 2010 by A FUCKING INTAMIN MEGA LITE!!!


I'm also waiting until the park is done before I let the peeps in.


This has been done before lol.

I like it! It does feel abit boring, you could maybe add some foliage around the water or something. Even though I think your trying to keep it clean to represent the fact the coaster is new some clumps could look nice scroll to bottom

Also, and this is probably my preference but I would take the "Er" of the end of the name. Or you could just do like the chinese and call it "Fucking hilly Coaster"

But in the end I am really excited for the release.

Not a big fan of the name nor the color choices used, otherwise it looks real nice.

Sorry to say this, but it seems like this is a step down for you. It looks very much like your Rocky Mountain/Six Flags parks: while it's not bad, it's just not very good. I think you should just go back and rethink much of this area as it's very plain and boring as it is, compared to the screens already shown that had a sort of 'vibe' to them.

I like it.. but.. I just like it.

Its not bad, but its not really good. The supports are good, the station is good, but nothing's great.

Also, the lack of foliage makes the screens kinda boring.. There's really not much to comment on here..

I have to agree with nin. I'm not a fan of the colours too...

^^ Hmm, looks about what a new for 2010 coaster at a Cedar Fair park should look like on opening day.

Maybe I'll add some freshly planted small trees around the entrance.


Austin55 - I see what you're saying, but in this case, it's not built over existing foliage. Instead, on the land of a demolished coaster that has been completely cleared away without time to grow back yet.

Thanks for the comments. I will say that this area of the park will remain the most open. One of my goals for making this park realistic was to show the age rides was to show how much had grown up around the rides. I think I posted something a while ago about this, but a 2010 coaster will not have *nearly* the elaborate foliage that the 45 year old mine train coaster has around it, for example. Some parks are better about protecting the landscape during construction, but with Kings Dominion, Carowinds and other Cedar Fair parks, the trend is pretty solid.

i strongly agree with nin

I can see where you were going with the design in keeping it realistic; I just think that perhaps realism somehow translated too well and therefore it isn't aesthetically pleasing here (because in real life, intimidator was ugly during it's opening).

So I understand the approach you took and it's very true to reality. Maybe, though, since this is a park under your control, you don't need to copy Cedar Fair's steps exactly- there is room for your own touches to improve the quality of the rides in terms of what you wish Cedar Fair would be able to do, rather than what they have already done.

It's done! Thanks guys for all the help.

Yay! so excited. This is one of my most looked forward to parks.

Cant wait to see whats next man.
