(Archive) Advertising District / Kumba Re-Creation

Thanks for the comments everyone. Good to know you guys like where this is going.

I think the score is like Peach = 6 and Red = 4

I still am undecided myself...

Going to address a couple of comments:

Liampie - I am trying to only make useful objects for this while being accurate to the coaster/area. I made these corrugated rooves since I needed something with a striped kinda ripple. Later saw that RCT Fun made a roof that I could have used, tho I would have needed to make a lot more smaller rooves out of it. Had to have a good look at my overviews when you said a support was missing and you are right. I think I thought that one was the one at the end of the break run. Will try and add it. Thanks for the feedback.

John - Yeah a land piece is something I am thinking about trying. When I was there last month I kept noticing how not only are the supports sometimes half in the ground, but it seems all of them are a little different and only a handful are sitting on a raised footer block like you see on most B&Ms today. I'll do something to try and fix this, just not sure yet...

Thanks again for your posts, especially the opinions on the colors of that roof and the comments on the catwalks were nice too

I like the peach, but either way that queue is awesome.

Have you thought of using a mix of peach and red? From that one picture, I think it's like the third one down, the main looks red, while the lower ones are more peach colored.

I'm liking the red better, it gives the area more color contrast while the peach blends in too much with the tan aspects of the rest of the area.

Red.

Peach. Offers contrast to the supports.

This has been interesting, seeing how Busch Gardens, Tampa is my home park. I've ridden Kumba at least a hundred times. Anyone do a recreation of Montu? Also one of my favs in Florida.

reminds me of the dominator at kings dominion-

Your doing great once again kumba.

I have a Batman Knight Flight recreation done in LL. Of course, that was a decade ago when Six Flags took over Geauga Lake and got Cleveland excited about rollercoasters only to.... that's a story for another time.

Although I'm not a fan of the layout (rct interpretations) I do think the rest is coming together nicely. And I say the lighter color for the roof, as it's different than the support color.

Kumba and Dominator have nothing in common other than being manufactured by B&M.

I was undecided the last time I posted, but I'd say peach is the way to go. It definitely looks closest to real life and helps the supports stand out more.

Sorry for me making a simple observation..

It's not much of an observation if it's inaccurate. They both start with a diving turn into a loop, and have interlocking corkscrews after the midcourse.

I like red. It goes with the supports and contrasts the path a little. The peach blends too much with the path for my liking.

Peach for me. It seems much more natural.

RED

The colour is definitely in another castle.

Much smoother.
