(Archive) Advertising District / What do you guys think of this?

I started a park after looking at screenshots of SAC's Rivers of Babylon (looks like it will be the best park ever), and have worked on a "Hanging Gardens Tour" ride. At first i thought it looked awesome but now i've looked at it for so long it's starting to look worse and i can't stop editing tiny things. I've spent an hour changing pretty much nothing.

Does it look good to you ? If not what do you think i should change.

maybe a few more brick walls? and cut down on the flowers? and u could cover up the pretzle stand? coming along good.

Looks great mate it gives the overgrown feel but your shops need to be in buildings.


~nemesis chris~

I can't see nothing wrong with it. Better than anything i can do in rct2.
Keep up the good work.

~rubs eyes and faints~ MY GOD

That looks very good. I really like the plant choice and number, except maybe add just a little more color in the flowers, but not too much so it becomes obnoxious. I would also take the water spouts that shoot into the flowers out, because I think the spouts should only dump into water. I'm also not sure about those palm trees. The building looks very Roman, and the trees go against that. Great work so far besides the little things I mentioned.

Hello.


It's very good.

Yes, it is quite good. Tho you should cover that pretzel stand and change the color of the actual ride track, the puke green ins,t workin for me.

Tho you should cover that pretzel stand

What is the point of mentioning something that's been said already. Anyway, I would put some torquise in there, instead of the purple doors, but that's just me.

To reinforce the point that it needs to be changed... ?! Seems obvious.



Oh ya, hide the pretzel stand.

yeah physco, one person saying it could be that persons personal preference, but three people means the general public thinks it should be changed to make it look better.

There, you see. I just said what coasterwizard said to reinforce his point.

This ride looks great. The use of water tile scenery, waterfalls and graden theming look great. You have done an excellent job on that concept. It really gives a garden/overgrown feel. The gardens look nice but they look a little weird. Perhaps it is because you may have clumps of randomness in one spot and then in another area, you have plain, boring, brown feel. The place that looks too plain compared to the rest of the ride would be the back. That roof looks a little out of place. Everything else looks great though! The layout of the ride and the colors that the gardens add in to the building really do make it quite impressive.


Again, great job.

It is quite lovely. I'd imagine the gardens would look much more grand, but I can see what effect you wanted to use, and you have implemented it quite well. Good Job, sir.

Cool, thanks for all the replies. I think i'm gonna add that needed extra color by changing the ride track. And yeah i got really lazy around the back... i'm gonna waste another couple of hours of my life making the back look like the front does =)

Oh... and.. i love the little shop stalls and stuff, the toilets and ugly buildings get covered but the cool ones like the seafood stall have to be on view! I knew yuo guys would say that but it's cool.

Cheers.

Edit: Shit, missed a comment from ac000000... i read a thing on the hanging gardens before i built it and it went on about a complex water system to water all the plants so i tried to give it that feel with allt he waterspouts and stuff.

Here's some cool pics that i looked at to see where i was going (a bit anyway) ... google image search is great. Posting these really maybe incase anyone else wanted to have a go at making a hanging gardens, i'd especially like to see an RCT1 effort =)

I know exactly where you got that first rendering .

As for the screen, I like the flowers and shrubs and the overall atmosphere. Good placement of ToonTowner's steps. A few things, though:
1. Some of the walls look paper-thin; build structures encompassing them.
2. The building in the center is too big. If you make it one level shorter the screen will flow better from bottom to top.
3. The crosses behind the big building - none of those in ancient Babylon, remember the religious orientation of the times.

Here's a challenge: A lot of parks are remembered for a single scenery or attraction. If you build a relatively to-scale Tower of Babel, hella high and all, as the centerpiece of the park, this park might get some attention, despite the presence of RoB.

Do it.

=)

That should be a smily face, you inspired me to build a whole 100x100 park with ONE screenshot. And i know Rivers of Babylon will be my favorite park, i just know it. Besides, i doubt i'll ever release this park and if i do you can take the whole credit. I'm definately not gonna copy your work and claim it as my own.

You're not pissed off at me right?

Call it blablabla, by Fade2Grey, inspired by RoB.

Dude you shoulda done this for the NE member themed ride.

Dont give me credit, I dont want that, it's your park.

I personally dont think it looks anything like my work. But I did use all those pictures to make RoB, it was only a matter of time before this sort of thing started to happen. There's several other themes in the park that havent been done in RCT 2 and I expect those to be emulated shortly as well.

Which screenshot inspired you?

I think it looks good but at the bottom of the waterfalls how about adding some rumbles.
