(Archive) Advertising District / Rivers of Babylon FINAL Update -Oct 15, 2003-

'Tis very nice indeed. Although I do agree with scarface about that unusually long stretch of a brake run. And I actually like your "Maize" stalls.

Things seen and unseen shine with brilliance.

I had doubts any park would ever knock Moonlight Magic off its pedastel for perfection, but I belive this park will.

Your mayan area looks more accurate than your old ones. the straw rooves give the whole area the feel of being a mayan city, rather than just an oversized temple complex.

The entrance is beautiful, and the attention to detail is unmatched.

No other park is so beautifully and accurately themed.

Good show

Amazing immersive eloquence! I cannot get enough of this park....until I've explored every single square of it for the 2nd time. Then I just have to wait and see what existing theme crumbles and gawk at the even more amazing theme that rises in its place. The fact that this park recreates its self on a weekly basis is a feat that can only be described as a miracle. Could SA be a modern day Jesus showing us where creation and life began.....in the form of an ever changing RCT amusement park? Well, I'm definitely not going to rule it out. The fertile crescent, as it's come to be known, has always been enshrouded in mystery and this park is revealing quite a bit of detail that has scientists in Japan awestruck. All I'm saying is to think about it, really!

This park accomplishes something that many many parks fail to produce, and that is an atmosphere of being completely immersed in the themed area no matter where you are in the park. Think Islands of Adventure or even Disneyland. Immaculate themeing is abundantly everywhere and it looks really good. The Babylon theme is innovative and groundbreaking. The replica of the Gate of Ishtar really highlights the entrance area completing the overall theme. And the themes left unseen are even more eye-boggling. This park is truly one to look out for, as I'm sure many have already realized.

Good job so far!

Oh, and I bet you thought you'd get away with hiding a pot leaf in your logo on the first page! Hah, I caught you! That's unlawful advertising of a narcotic. You will be damned.

Good evening, Mr. Holland.

Looks great... Definently has a good shot at being the 3rd RCT2 spotlight. Very cool and already a classic. I love the atmosphere, the colors, the Archy, EVERYTHING! It just "clicks" togather to create classic genius. This is currently #1 on my "most antisipated" park list and it seems to be, quite possably the best RCT2 park to date... I guess we'll have to see if it can top Euroscape.

the Archy

It's called architecture.

It's called architecture.

Sorry but you have been annoying as fuck lately.. Can you stop the bitching and sarcasim? Thanks.

BTW, this park is looking amazing. Definetly will be #1 on my list.

I'm sorry, but alot of people will agree with me that people need to stop saying archy. I was only correcting him before he got his ass flamed off about it.

Does it really matter? I think we all know what he meant by it. So what if he wants to use the term, that's his life choice. Does it really hurt anyone? Really? I didn't think so. Stop being so anal and lighten up. You were not elected to be part of the elite internet lingo police force.

lol Good phrase...

And yes Pymguy, lighten up. You don't need to correct everybody on their english, as most people don't give a flying fuck what you think....

oh and Welcome back joe...

Boohoo, why don't I kill myself for correcting people.

And Joe, just becuase you're good at RCT, doesn't mean you're good at insulting.
Try again.

i didnt realize archy meant architecture until just now, shows my internet lingo ignorance

Joe, it's good to hear from you. It's been a while since Ive heard from you, and it's good to know that you're still alive.

I appreciate your positive comments and review of the park. Praise isn't always the best thing for an artist, however. I noticed that you didn't mention your distaste for the mayan area. I think it doesn't fit into the overall early creation/ history of mankind theme as well as the babylon area, and the other one, but it still fits. It is one of the pyramid civilizations, and if you'll see here:

http://www.atlan.org...cles/atlantis2/

...it all ties together.

(A note for the rest of you, dont even consider using this text as a basis for a theme park, its already been done, and you didn't think of it. See: RoC. I dont mean to be rude, but there are some people on these boards who may read that and start getting ideas.)

I didn't know where this park was going when I started it, which is the explanation for constant change. I have been in and out of the scenario editor and using dimport to change scenery around constantly. I think I've finally settled into four themes that suit the overall feel of the park. I had some trouble deciding the fourth theme, which was assumed all along to be standard 'castle' theme. If you will note, nothing about any of my previous work comes 'standard' except blue beemers and Atlantis themes. I am letting that go in this park. The fourth theme, will not be midieval. Which also means I just spent 3 days making an inverted and a huge Avalon castle for no reason. I guess this coaster will join Ninja (Crystal Horizons) and Atlas (unfinished Legends Lost Realms) in the big, inverted coaster scrap pile in the sky. I guess that I wasn't mean to put large inverted rides in my parks.

Anyways, I have another screen of RoB to post. You guys might think this is a tease. If you think that, you are 100% correct. This screenshot has changed considerably since it was taken (2 weeks ago), so dont expect it to be there the way it is now. I just wanted to give you guys an idea of what the so-called 'hidden theme' will be like, and post an update of some sort, since I havent had screens to post lately. This is much because I don't want to show the real architecture I've done in the area, but that will benefit all of you in the end. You will be pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, I have also decided to keep the newly decided fourth themed area a secret for the time being. I will get back to you guys later on. For now, enjoy the screen, what there is of it..




Peace be with you all.

have not these things,
or enter not here,
cast away your sins,
do not bring them near.


Edit: while i was typing this you people started arguing with each other. i personally think that the very heart of the matter is ride6's choice of words. why dont you read what he said about my park in fatha's BGSS thread. you will see he is a follower. anywho, i think that the word 'archy' is atrocious and it is painful to my eyes and ears (more like my brain) to read it constantly just because you people are too lazy to type a known word of the english language. you could at least type 'arch.' or 'buildings' maybe.

perfect for theme..

This screen like the civilization city

Pym, you really need to leave this site.

Anyways.

Screen looks great as usual.

Does it really matter? I think we all know what he meant by it. So what if he wants to use the term, that's his life choice.  Does it really hurt anyone? Really? I didn't think so. Stop being so anal and lighten up. You were not elected to be part of the elite internet lingo police force.

You sound familar...

Nice to see you around, true RCT God right there. Anyway, the new theme you showed in the picture is amazing, its probably my favorite theme ever done! RoB is lookin good, itll definately be a top 10 when its done.
10/10 on the new pic.

Yes, definently a top ten. Yes i am a follower and i hope this park gets completed... But then again i know to let the sleeping dogs lay now. Sorry
about the term. I'll try not to use it so much, but i may still since it's habbit.

That news screen looks pretty good, although incomplete. Jeez, am i an expert at causing fights or what? And that last one was pure accident... *sigh*

~ride6

Simple, but amazing. You never fail to inspire me. The little details, the fact that you use custom scenery in ways so similar to the way I imagine them, and the pure immersive beauty of your work are awesome. *Toon inflates SA's ego to an unfathomable size* People need to realize how great this park is, so finish, get your spotlight and re-establish yourself as the master already.

Why do I think this is about to become a very active topic now?

SA, you've been touched by an Angel!

*rimshot*


RoB is beautiful. When I first saw the screens, I didn't think that it'd be as good, but it's improved and beautified with each new picture I see. It's like SA's having multiple "RCT Epiphanies" (Phrase Copyright 2003 Corkscrewed).

Now, didn't you say you weren't going to spoil the "Atlantis replacement?" Oh well.

Remember, SA: Spotlight by October.

Pym, you really need to leave this site.

I'm dissapointed that you would say something like that, Glitch. I thought you were better than that. We all share this site because we have a common interest in RCT and RCT 2. You have no right to tell somebody else that it is time for them to leave. Pym may be younger than you, he may annoy you, any number of things, but he is still here for the same reason me and you are. If you dont like him, ignore him, but dont tell him to leave. That is disrespectful.

Anyhow, I'm glad to recieve a positive response from all of you on the new screen, and I can say that I will be very busy this week trying to give you guys a little better look than that one measly screen. Before I can show you more, I have much work to do, So I'm not going to waste my time typing this, Im out of here.

Corky, can you enlighten me as to the meaning of an "RCT Epiphany?" Is it like, an orgasm for the eyes? Because that was my intent..
