I actually like the windows.

The park does look kind of empty though.

I personally don't mind the road as much as the empty roof,

I know peeps can't see it but I think it'll look all the better with some chimneys or A/C units on top of the roof because atm its way too empty,

It'll take just a few minutes work but it'll make all the difference

WOW! Pacificoaster! Huge improvment man!

The screamin' swing is too blocky and I think you should use coaster trains or something similar to make it look more realistic and the park name isn't great

I love it though, nice to see you around again!

What you did there is genius, even if you did it unintentionally. The way you positioned the buildings and the actual entrance, from the parking lot the entrance seems large and drawn out, but from the main street, it is smaller and fitting for an exit.

UPDATE: Still a bit weak on foliage but i have updated the top of the swing. However i still need some assistance in ride hacking for custom dive cars.

Your style is really elegant and I love it. Those tree planters just look fantastic.

Send me the file and I'll help you tomorrow with the hack.

Wow this is very good
Hopefully you can get someone to help you out with the dive cars and getting the Intamin track on the launch coaster

Then if you can adapt a good style of foliage you'll be on to something
I love the clean style you have and the way you do your paths makes everything pretty interesting

Looks great and I like where this is headed. Do you plan to have this peepable? If so, we care of your scale. the actual height of the structures might be a bit to high in comparison to th peeps orven the flat rides once you get them in the park. In any case, try place a handyman or security guard on the map in the area you are building. It will helkp with your scale.

Keep it up.

By keeping this thread alive, i have started work on the Grand Amphitheater. Still unfinished by having to add covered seating and work behind the stage, i thought it would be nice to show you what has been going on.

That's pretty nice. Your style is simple but really elegant and beautiful.

why the fuck are tehre bushes in the middle of a big-ass stadium?
i like it, mind.

I think there's too much grey, but the design is good.

UPDATE: Roofing has been added to The Grand Amphitheater. The rear of the stage still needs some major tweaking and i still need to add service buildings , however i thought some would enjoy . . .

Try adding support poles in the front (on the stageside). Other than that, looks pretty cool.

I don't want to sound like a dick here but I think your park will need a different name, mountain park doesn't really describe what you have here even if its awesome, try some more landscapeing and height variations it'll make it that much better

Needs more color but I like it.

I'm really enjoying the clean look of the park! But I agree with Belgian Guy that the name "Estrella Mountain Park" doesn't really fit. Estrella = Spanish for star, nothing to do with the park, and Mountain = not found anywhere in the park.

Anyway, great job on the stadium! The roof looks amazing.

I have a few questions for the community...

1. I am attempting to create a three tower S&S Power Drop Ride, but i am not pleased with the stock base. To go for realism i would like to create it along the lines of Robbie's work on Muskoka Grove.

2. I would like to begin creating stations without the stock entrance/exits houses showing so i can create queue lines that are not obstructed by 2 disgusting blocks.

3. Lastly, stand alone trains so i can create realistic flats that are not so blocky.

Assistance in these fields would be greatly appreciated to get the outcome i am looking for.

UPDATE: Starpointe Park & Resort
And just because i don't like posting without a photo update, here is a little something to keep thread viewers pleased.



Hope to all you enjoy. I also hope most don't photo scroll this post. Assistance in creating a cleaner park will bring stronger updates in the future.

Thank You,
Pacificoaster

I hope you're going to put something along the upper edge of the path (where the black rail is), right now it looks too empty. Benches, lamps, litter bins, foliage, maybe even a building or two. Though, I'm assuming that the screen isn't completely finished. I like that the coaster is very visible from the path, especially the double loops, which looks to be nicely supported BTW. So if you put anything along the path, try to keep the loops clear. Overall the screen looks a bit empty but as I said I'm guessing you're going to add a few things. I really like what you've got so far.

As for your questions, I can perhaps help you with number 2 & 3.

First, in order to make the huts invisible, follow geewhzz's tutorials. Just follow the steps and they'll be gone.

Second, there is a single train car object that you could use for flat rides. You could also do some hacking and use actual cars but the first option is much easier. I'll go see if I can find it in my object folder and attach it here.

EDIT: I only found an object consisting of two cars, not a single one, but I'll attach it anyway if you feel it could be useful.
