(Archive) Advertising District / Las Islas Tropicanas

I noticed my topic fell off the page and it was outdated anyways. After receiving some criticism and comments, both positive and negative, I changed the negatives and tweaked the positives and came out with a much better park. Thanks to those who commented.

Now, on to the update for today. Much has been done, including the completion of Treasure Island, home of the mine train coaster - Treasure Island Falls. This ride weaves through a mountain before making its final drop right through a giant skull head built into the side of a mountain. Of course, the skull isn't shown in the pics as I can't reveal the best part of the island. You'll just have to wait for the download to see it . Enjoy the screens, descriptions are below them. Lemme know what you think, like I said, comments negative or positive are always appreciated.

NOTE: Comments on the Guernica screen should be on layout alone...please don't tell me its not themed enough...I know dammit I just wanna make sure the layout is good before I theme it. Gracias, and Glitchwolf - reply in English this time you bastard

I love Guernica's layout, although I'm not too sure about all the curvy at the end. The mine train looks good. I like the trick track.

I agree, that layout is so huge! I can't wait to see what it looks like once trees and theming are put into it.

Try to finish Guernica above ground. It would be a pity if you have a fairly good coaster like that go to waste with an underground ending. Try adding some helixes, or a nice bumpy straight away. After it is themed, it will look a hell of alot better.

Like others have said, try to finish Guernica underground, and the landscaping on the next two screens seems a little too bare for me, and I'd like to see more of that mountain, looks interesting.

I like the layout of Guernica as well. It starts off very nice, as it approaches the brake run it is kinda, blah, it gets nice again going over through the loop and corkscrews, then back, blah. But themeing can fix that up. And one little thing, were you going with a layered effect on that mountain?

Thanks for the comments so far, now lemme clear up some questions. I'm trying to figure out a way to make the part before the brake run look more appealing so it should be better later. As for the underground ending I'll prolly end up changing that too, along with adding some theming and scenery to go with it.

Btw, sboarder...Guernica's layout looks huge because, well, it is huge (over 6,100 feet of track!)

Any comments on the Treasure Island Falls screens?

Guernica - The way this wraps round the end of the land is cool! And i like the rocky outcrop inside that helix. Nice layout, shame about the ending.

Treasure Island has a very nicely textured landscape and i really like those obelisk-topped pillars. The second screen is even better, especially the suspended skull and the track winding through the rocks.

Great Stuff!

just lower the land instead of having the coaster go through it...

Photo Albums by bpminvik:

No albums are available for public display.

I don't know if it's you or Webshots, just puttin' the warning out bud and I want to see the pictures.

The punks at webshots probably deleted the pics for copyright reasons. That happened to me when I tried to post some RCT screenshots there. I sent them an e-mail about it since there are dozens of other people posting RCT screenshots there but no luck.

Well shit...anyone wanna host em? That way I could send the 4 old ones and have all 7 on here at once

Mail them to me: citrusmantis@hotmail.com

And put 'screens' in the subject or something or I might think it's Junk (this happens so often).

I'd be happy to host them.

Here is a screen of Treasure Island Falls, a mine train that weaves its way in and out of a mountainside before making its final drop through the mouth of a huge skull. This pic shows the trick track through tunnels and along a waterfall.

Here is more of Treasure Island Falls showing off some more theming. I'd like to know what you think of the ground/shrubbery combo I have on the mountainside, please.

This is the layout of Guernica, it has been tweaked since this pic was taking, including making more of the ending above ground rather than below it. No theming or scenery in this pic yet, just comment on the layout, please.

Pics are up now...thanks a ton to mantis for hosting them.

Hey thanks for reviewing mine...

I think youve got a good start to this park. But about the mine train:


I dont know if the pink color necessarily works for the track

The archy on that building hanging over the ride could be better (good idea though)

And as for that mountian you need to add some more trees and or plants and i think personally the rock look itself should be more random (Like varying heights)


As for Guernica That is gonna be a crazy ride when its themed. The layout is solid except I do agree about the end

I like the beemer. Nice layout, but reduce the length of the tunnels and it will have better ratings.
