(Archive) Advertising District / Kumba Re-Creation

I personally dont mind the fences.
I like the colour choices they match well, im just not sold on the plain white walls.
But really coming along well

Lower that door one height unit. It doesn't line up with anything right now.

A red roof would make it so much better.

dude this looks EXACTLY like the ride haha. i've been on this coaster the most out of any others, and you've definitely captured the feel perfectly.

you should totally do a montu rec after this:]
or manta.

that would be so sick

I love this so much. It makes me want to do a rec, and actually try to get it as accurate as possible within RCT like this.

Shouldn't the door be darker? I don't like the diagonal catwalks, and the texture of the fences in general.

But of course the screen is mostly great.

From satellite imagery, I don't see a concrete area after the helix/before the barn. It's all grass & trees. So you don't need to worry. That angular catwalk doesn't sit well. Might try a wooden track to match the curve? either that or forget that bit of detail, because anything might look bad? That train barn is fantastic! but I don't think that there would be walls inside the structure. I don't think the floor is right under the track either, as the crew would need to walk beneath for maintenance as well. (Seen it on cable, thought I'd pass it on.)

I remember once I was at the park, and they had the nose off one of the trains. I assume for preventive maintenance or replacement. It was sitting on it's backside pointing into the air.

Great, just recolor the frames around the coaster shelters.
They don't look red in the pictures, more like brown which is better I think because then they won't stand out that much.

How many new objects will my objdata folder be filled with, when this is finished Kumba?

Oh, screens look fantastic! All of them!

Nice comments and what I like about these is that there is some good feedback and you guys are making some interesting suggestions.

Austin - You mean the Q fence for diagonal catwalks? I thought id try that to save me the trouble of doing more objects, but yeah I could use something else and even play with the texture on the railings.

Thrill-Factor - I have never liked white walls myself, but the walls there are clearly white, so I got to go with it.

Ace - That's what I thought when I saw it, but it's like going from the door to the breaks catwalk is a step down, so I pretty much have it in the right place.

Turbin - I think at first that roof was red, just now it's one of the most faded in the area, so I will stick with peach.

Josh - Thanks man. I think this will be my first and only rec tho. Never say never just this is pretty tricky stuff and off-hand I can't think of another coaster id want to do this for.

Louis - Thanks, and good luck if you ever try a rec!

Liampie - I am pretty sure I got the door color right. In the pic it's in the shade so I think that makes it look darker. Which fence texture are you talking about?

Wolfman - On google maps I am pretty sure I see a darker surface texture there. Also on my trip before last while on the chairlift I got a picture of the area and while I could not see the ground a van was parked back there and on my last ride I clearly saw a garage door. There is also an entrance gate for cars back near the loop. Had wooden coaster track for the breaks catwalk at one point, but will not use it since only the left-hand side of the breaks has a catwalk. Just need a better custom one. Good tip on the walls inside the transfer barn, will take those out. Thanks for the feedback, you have been pretty helpful.

Fr3ak - I am pretty sure the are red, thanks for the feedback.

Cena - Damn, a lot. Tho like 1/4 of them were released in May with my scenery tab I packaged with my DRC anniversary pack.

Thanks again for the feedback. I hope to have another update or two posted soon

Ya know, the closer you're getting to completion of this, the more I'm actually getting excited to see it in it's entirety. And I usually only get excited about RCT when I personally build something I really, really like. So take that for whatever it's worth

The last thing I want to do is contradict you Kumba. But the eye in the sky don't lie. How they got a van inside the track is beyond me though. Maybe a driveway that's under the trees & track?

>Edit<

Well, yes they do. Going back to March 31st. 2006. Shows something of a driveway. (any views earlier were too blurry to tell anything.)

Hey, my name's not Kumba for nothing

screen is amazing. and so is the peach. this is gonna be a very serious upcoming release.

Take it to the bridge...

Real Life Entrance/Sign:



RCT:



Should point out that picture is kinda old. That awesome sign is not there anymore, just I loved it so my rec is bringing it back. Also decided a while back not to do any covers on this and I don't think it always had them anyways. I think it's a tad sloppy atm, but I was not up to giant leaf objects tonight, would be easy tho with the game's giant garden object

Maybe one more update before this thing is finished...

Enjoy

i've rode this ride close to 20+ times, and i must say you've really nailed it darren.

I gotta ask; why the blue smoke? There's a new pope?

I gotta ask; why the blue smoke? There's a new pope?

Mist sprayed from the overhead, I'm guessing. (It's fucking hot in Florida.)

Kumba... don't know what to say. You're a lot better at this game than you've shown before this project.

-ACE

I love it. You've done yourself justice.

Amazing job on the recreation, if you need any special picture let me know and i will take it.
