(Archive) Advertising District / The recreation specialist returns...

Doing a Joker's Jinx recreation really got me into RCT2, and now I'm going to start work on a full SFA recreation. I'm going all out on this one. I know the park inside out, so this is going to be as accurate as possible. I'm talking coasters, rides, architecture, scenery, placement, everything. I don't really think I'm the greatest at creative RCT2 architecture, but I love how it can be used to a realistic portrayal, so this is perfect for me. I hope it turns out well.

Anyways, these first two screens are of Main Street 1776, the opening part of the park. Everything is basically accurate architecture-wise; check out these pictures if you want to compare (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9). The only things that aren't real are those red/white/blue flowers. I added them in because they looked good and took up small space.

So, feel free to comment, suggest, criticize, praise, whatever. I'll be gone for awhile, so no more updates till then. Enjoy!

From what I can see, it looks dead accurate. The buildings are nice, simple, and realistic, though you say they aren't your strongest field of parkmaking. I look forward to seeing recreations, and you truly will be the recreation master if they all are going to be as dead accurate as Joker's Jinx.

The Jinx looked good (a shame that i got to register to download, wich i did'nt), not to much of your park to go on, but i always like recs.

keep it up

Time for another screen. It's Batwing, of course, showing the station, the queue, part of the midway (with character signs included) and portions of the coaster itself. If you're wondering why and how I have a screen of something on the complete opposite end of the park from my last screens, it's because I'm actually building parts of the park in a "template map" first, to see what custom scenery objects I'll need and how big to make the park in the scenario editor. I'm so much of a perfectionist that I have to do that. Anyways, I might post the same screen from the opposite view later, but until then, enjoy!

Batwing

That looks way messy. I'd just borrow Steve Frank's version if I were you.

Batwing looks really good. The station is as close to perfection as possible, and the chacter signs are a great extra touch.

Everything looks extremely accurate. I'd download Joxers Jinx if I was a registerd member, but I'm not and I'm too lazy to register. The main street looks very nice, very realistic, right on. Batwing looks very messy, but it's six flags were talking about here so what do you expect? It will be hard to recreate SF and make it all look good, knowing six flags horrible theming reputation. But hey, best of luck to you and hope to see more soon.
BTW, I couldn't ever make a park twice, it would drive me crazy and I'd get so bored. I always have to be doing something new. But hey, if you can do it, I strongle encourage it.
Physco.

It looks amazing. It looks very accurate. At first, I thought IOAGuy was back, because I saw that you put the recreation specialist is back, and IOAGuy is what, gone?

Anyway, it looks terrific. I do agree with Batwing being messy, but by looking at your first two screens and comparing them to the real ones, I bet it is messy at the park too...

Keep it up. I look forward to seeing more of this park.

I refered to myself as the "recreation specialist" because that's what Gigaforce dubbed me when I was recruited for the NE Coaster Order thing a long time ago. I specialize in coaster recs and this is my first full park recreation.

Anyways, here's an updated shot of Joker's Jinx. It's been touched up since I visited the park last week, so there are even more details than before. BTW, all that landscaping DOES exist. Trust me, even for Six Flags.

Sorry, but you guys will have to register at TN to download it, unless somebody wants to host it or for me to send it to them.

very accurate the buildings look dead on keep up the great work.

How's the park going? It's looks just like SFA so far. Can't wait to see your Superman: ROS and other SFA rides.

Wow.

I think this topic and park has been dead for almost half a year.

But at least he bumped it to ask how it was going.... who knows. </ >
