(Archive) Advertising District / Cartoon Network Park

Thanks for the interest everyone.


@Top Gun: Thanks, and probably only as a flat ride in the Central area.

@Turtle & Super G: Thanks guys

@chorkiel: Thanks for the suggestions - something classic like one of them might work.

@Liampie & JoeZia: Nice idea. Short and snappy.

@jaguarkid140 & Wanted: To be honest with you, I've never liked either of those cartoons, but as with the Ed, Edd and Eddy etc. they might be added in the Central bit (probably as an oriental restaurant and spooky mask (hat) shop).

@SSSammy: The sign is directly in front of the park entrance gate, also in monochrome. The idea is to have the guests see a complete lack of colour until they walk past the sign (either left or right) and find themselves surrounded by a mix of various cartoon colours and themes. Kinda like an unveiling into the cartoon world.

@K0NG: Wow, I'm flattered! However, I can't help but feel that your work would stick out, not so much like a sore thumb, but like a good thumb on a sore hand. I really don't think I'm up to your standard of parkmaking to do your work justice. Once again, thank you for the offer, but I think I'll decline.

Yeah, FOP is Nickelodeon otherwise it would definitely be there.

I believe Xsector made a cartoon network park once

Maybe you can look at it for inspiration!

Here are some overviews of the layout:

(sorry for them being attachments - couldn't upload images atm)

Variations in the land height will be done later. Some water will be added to the grassy area at the front, to the City Of Townsville area and to the Wacky Raceway area. The maps are just for people's opinions on area layout, size ratios etc.

And Evil WME, I couldn't find the park you were talking about. There was a Universal Park by Xsector, were you referring to that one? Either way, I don't have LL

^Like the layout!

Jared Misner, or Misner RCT on this site, created a Cartoon Network Land park. http://www.rctstatio...ner/index.shtml The park, and the rest of his are available there. Here are some photos:

Hope this helps. This covers nearly all of the park. If you want more photos, ask! :

Good luck!

I like the layout

RCTCA- Wow that's retro.

Looking at this from a guest flow perspective, you may want to add a tunnel through/under the logo. It looks like it could cause a pileup.

Put in a Samurai Jack area.

I second that. that show was awesome.

Dude this park is gonna be so cool i cant wait till it is done and ready for download! this park is sure to win some awards! -WofDude

Sorry, i thought it will be more realism, those letter are really to BIG.

....those letter are really to BIG.

Agreed

Thanks very much RCTCA, those pics are a great help

@ jaguarkid140 & WOFDude: Cheers guys.

@ musicman: Yeah, good thinking. Actually, there probably will be a lot of underground tunnels in the park to accommodate the guests' AI. Seems no matter how basic I make the layout, they'll find a way to pile up somewhere.

@ dr dirt: I tried watching that show once, but all I saw was Jack walking slowly from one screen to the next; close-up followed by a distant shot with some minimalistic background, mid-shot and so on. I really tried my best, but seriously nothing happened and I just couldn't get into it. I'll stick him in there somewhere though.

@ gijssie1234 & K0NG: Do you think I should just reduce the size of the sign or change it to just "C N" (obviously smaller than the sign is now)? At the moment, it's as small as I could make it with those pieces while still making it recognisable. As said, the idea was to block off all view of the rest of the park until the guest has walked past it, but I see where you're coming from, and a smaller sign should still do the trick. About the realism, it'll be a semi-realistic park. I'm not into precise support work or details like transfer tracks as I find them too gritty and industrial in parks that are more fantasy based.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

maybe you can use the small wall sections you understand? Or use the small road stripes, i will see, eemmmmmm ow and do you mind when i make a cartoon network park later?? it will be about a great time because i spend verry much time at universal studios sidney and pinehills.

Of course I don't mind, you can make whatever you want. It'll be nice to see another take on it. And about the smaller pieces, I'll see what kinda stuff might work. Thanks

As is evident by now, I am an exceptionally slow builder. Nevertheless, this park is still in progress.

Here is a shot of the Cartoon Central area, with the theme being an eclectic mix of various cartoon shows and styles.



Aside from the obvious grassy/yellow area, the main pathway is unfinished. Various objects and stalls are going to be placed on it once both sides of the street are complete and I can see how much "flow" there is.

Any comments welcome as always.

Well I can't say no to Snoopy can I? Looks nice, keep it up.

With such busy architecture you might have a more simple/organised path pattern. I like the architecture, a lot of stuff to see there!

That Snoopy Building is incredible! I second Liam on the paths though.

The snoopy doghouse is awesome, however i believe raising the black block one position higher would give snoopy's ears some depth. Although, I agree that the path could be a bit more organized and simple.

wow thats pretty awesome. is that samurai jack?

snoopy is amazing !
love your archi !
