There really isn't anything that sets it away from other parks. It seems like a mix between Meretrix's Phantasia and Aero's Disneyland Utopia. I suppose it's nice, just not really original or individual as your own, you're just mish-mashing other peoples' techniques into Disney style. And I absolutely despise that custom path. It just doesn't fit with the other RCT2 paths, but if that's your only choice, I guess it's okay, just distracting. -

John, my park has nothing to do with Meretrixs park and Aero's. When i started this, i didn't even look at theres for any ideas.There really isn't anything that sets it away from other parks.

Looks okay. You're using way too much brown though. I know I sound like a hypocrite when I say this, but Disney doesn't dwell on brown. Add some more whites and brighter colors - Disney loves those. -

OK, constructive criticism....
Mickey flowers are bad. Make it all black, or dark purple, or any other solid color. RIght now it's like Roy Lichtenstein threw up pointilistic flowers in a vain attempt at Mickey Mouse.
The entrance is very good IMO. It's very HOMEY, which is the point. Quite complex path layout which is nice. Has a Mayberry feel to it. And I like the brick pathway.
Finally.......FINISH this park!!!!!!! If you start it over again, so help me, you will get the flaming of a lifetime from me, and I will NEVER again make any comments about any of your "future unfinished projects", in fact I won't even bother to look at any screens you may decide to post. You've got some solid stuff happening here. Now FINISH it!!! -

Meretrix: On the micky mouse i was trying to make a detailed one but i'll probably change it. Thanx for the comments. I will finish it.OK, constructive criticism....

Jacko: Sorry about the all tan brown, but it was the only thing that would go good with most of the buildings.
Update will come once i build tommarowlands entrance, unless i have too much fun like i did on main street.

i just dont like the style.
I mean, yea, in real life, buildings have flat roofs. But to me it looks lazy, and I like buildings that look good in RCT rather than buildings that would look good if they were built in real life...because its a game.
But, if thats the style you are going to use, I guess its good. There is indeed a homey "atmosphere", but the big flat brown roofs grab your attention so much, that paired with the brick path, its kinda hard to notice anything except giant buildings. -

I agree with Gymkid in that the flat rooves just don't look good at all. It looks like all the screens are unfinished to me. I guess I can appreciate the facade style of architecture, but only when the facade captures your attention, not the flat roof above it. Meretrix has made a living doing this. His facades are so detailed that your eyes don't wander off, while when I look at your work, I can't help but get board and wander off. -

Ok i need some help. I need to know where my entrance to tommarow land should go.
Here is a screen, (yes you also get an overview for helping, lol.) http://www.americaco...iles/scr255.gif
As you can see i have alot of land on the right side of main street. The T's are possible locations for the entrance (ignore the one near the closest to the castle and main street.) So any idea on where i should start tommarowland?
Also should the entrance be diagonal or straight? Thanx to anyone who helps. -

On the main street i think the building would look a bit better with a roof and i think that the place you have thought of havin for the entrance is a good point or it could be on the other side of that path. -

It's looking good so far. Many of your designs have a very simple yet apealing look to them. A few things i would suggest is make Main Street a little less confuseing with the layout. The concept behind main street at Disneyland was to have a place that everyone felt "at home" with. It was patterned after Walt's childhood memories of his hometown, so make sure it's not overwhelming. Things you can do; first tone down on the awnings with you buildings. Not all buildings need awnings, pick and choose where they should go to add emphisas on certain buildings. I like it on the opera house but i would remove them from the adjacent building. The next thing would be to maybe look at trees that are slightly smaller in height and profile. This would alow onlookers to focus on the buildings and not the trees. These are just suggestions, so don't think that i'm trying to change your park. Anyways, looking good so far, and as Meretex said:" FINISH IT!" -

Doing good Chris, you're improving alot. Although I have to say this. As much as I like the screens, the flat rooves are overused. I know you are going for the Tilted Acres style, but I KNOW for a fact, there isn't that much flat rooves in main street... -
Tech Artist Offline
Tilted Acers Style? :\ No. More like Disney Land Style.I know you are going for the Tilted Acres style
Not that you can see., but I KNOW for a fact, there isn't that much flat rooves in main street...

Ok i am not sure how long it will be till another update as Tomarowland is going very slow for me as i have never done it and i suck at Futureistic buildings. One of my friends i talk to on aim is gonna give me some ideas to help me with this, seeing as he lives like 10min away from Disneyland and goes everyday just about. -

To say that you aren't inspired from Phantasia and DTA is crazy. Whether or not it is a good thing, however, is in the eye of the beholder. I personally think it is nice to have inspiration in other RCT2 parks because you KNOW what works, but you're also not being original and creative.
I would agree that the facade-flat roof style just doesn't really work because the facade doesn't grab you like it should. I would attribute that to the color scheme and lack of detail overall. Brown isn't the only base color out there. Whites, blues, yellows, reds, etc. all look great on Mainstreet buildings.
Also, it may just be me, but it seems like Mainstreet is squished and not very big. Like there's too much path, not enough buildings. Some of the buildings either have huge flat roofs, or they stop after 3 tiles, find a happy medium there. -

Before the update i must give props to my friend Mike, his internet/aim sn is SkaterFreakboi that lives in california that i talk to on aim.

Well with the help a imagineer(OFC: you know who that is) that has arrived at the park to help with construction, Tomarrow Land has been moving quickly in construction with the Astro Orbitor Ride at the entrance built, Rocket Rods queve building and station built, the track that has been built is the turn around/station area and the long straight away, and the Rocket Rods store already in progress. Star Tours, Tomarrow Land Resteraunt, and Autopia are expected to begin construction very soon.

It looks nice actually, I just gave it a brief glance.
However, I'm sorry but it reminds me a HELL OF ALOT of Tilted Acres, those colors put together. I don't know if its just because Meretrix used them in his Space Mountain that was huge, or what....but I'm sorry all I see is TA.
I know it's hard to do a Disney park and not be inspired by Tilted Acres nowadays, being that it almost set a standard, but you should really rethink those colors.
Maybe it's just me, who knows..... -

Ugh if i hear that once more i am gonna flip. Yes some things look similar, yes TA ispired me to do a disney park, but that doesn't mean i would copy it. Also incase alot of you haven't noticed that TA follows more of a disneyland paris layout, mine pushes more towards a disneyland in california style layout. A set standard for disney parks should be the real one themselves but i do agree that any disney park coming out is gonna be similar to TA, but that isn't what i want. I basicly i am doing my own version of disneyland in california with new things of my own thrown in.(if that sounded mean in any way, then sorry cause it isn't meant to be) More comments please.However, I'm sorry but it reminds me a HELL OF ALOT of Tilted Acres,

Instead of just one prak being integrtaed and inspiring, why dont you bring forth parks like Disneyland California (?), Disney Sea, MGM Studios, and even Typhoon Lagoon (love that boat on the top of the mountain). That way peeps would zip it and maybe thered be sumore inspiration, too. IDK. and dont worry, im not doing this so, take full credit.
