(Archive) Advertising District / NASCAR Experience

You know, I started a NASCAR park a long time ago...in my never ending cleverness, I built a wooden coaster called "Intimidator" with black trains, and then a "Son of Intimidator" with red trains that had a loop, and fancy shit like that, but wasn't as big as the Intimidator. Clever, eh?

Either way, since then I have grown to hate NASCAR. Wretched work of the devil, it is.

But I like your hotel, man.

^ lol. I nominate that to be the funniest post evar.

The screenshot of the parking lot looks abit tacky. The checkered theme seems overdone, and the checkered land texture just seems out of place on the fountain. I've never been a fan of the custom scenery roads, why not use the actual roadway to build them? It'd fit in more with the tarmac pathway, IMO.

I'm also not really a fan of the hotel. Your hotels seem to follow the same tiered stacking with nothing really to "break it up" or interrupt the monotonous sloping effect. It gets repetitious and boring quite quickly for me. But, it seems as though this style is a crowd pleaser, so yeah.

...But this time it looks like the stands for a racetrack.

John - Seeing as this is a NASCAR park, the "checkers" will be a vital part of the park to add to the theme. As for the road, I am using the dark tarmak with the custom lines as it adds to the realizm and flexabilty. I hope as the park goes along that you like it better.

Final update for awhile.

The construction on the main resort is complete. The landscapping crews are now on site and should have that finished shortly. The main resort features 404 luxury rooms, Indoor twin monorail station, sky lounge/restaruant, 3 tennis courts, huge swimming pool with a lazy river and swim up bar.



Thanks, RCTNW

uh,woh

I'm not sure about this huge resort from the picture.

While the colors and textures you are using are good, I think its hard to perceive the resort itself. The middle section over the pool looks too short while the rooms on the left look tall. This is hard to explain but for some reason, it just doesn't look right.

I think the ideas you have are great but the structure and the colours you are using is doing my head in i suggest easing down on the checkered patten a little.

I really like this park, just the atmosphere and architecture are really appealing. While others are disliking the use of the checkers so much, I really like them, they really make the park look more appealing to the eye. And another comment on the hotels... just wow, you're the only person I know who would be able to pull off architecture that big and extensive. Look's amazing...

LOL, that's like saying Disney is tacky because of all the Mickey logo's throughout the park.

New screen looks amazing btw, not the best hotel you've done though, but still up there.

No, that is something completely different.
The usage of the checkered texture as land looks horrible in the screenshot of the parking lot/fountain.
Why would you paint land like a checkered flag?

I think you are being far too specific. What you should do is go back to the source. Why would you invent a sport in which cars drive around in circles for a couple of hours? After you think about how ridiculous the sport is, the checkered flags are a lot less misunderstood. I hate the sport, but I like the park. Nice job. Perhaps you should put stools by the swimup bar. All of the swimup bars I've been to (well all four of them) have had stools, so I sense that its a recoccuring theme and you should implement them in your park. Also, it has become big for resorts to break up large pools by putting a mountain/waterfall deal in the center of the pool with maybe a small waterslide. If you want to know a little more of what I'm talking about look up pictures of Marrriot's Ocean Club Maui. The pool complex there is very intricuit, and very cool.

slob - I usually don't like to show such a zoomed out pic but the last SS does not do the resort justice. I hope this clears up the design for you

nemesis chris - Since this will be the official resort for the park, the checkerd look continues in this also but the other 2 hotels will not follow this pattern.

Atticus - Thanks buddy but I think when you see the final version, it may change your mind. Although PI (hint hint) would also be up there if I had the park.

John - I'll take a look at other options around the fountain and see if anything else will work.

intamin101 - Good idea fountain and I'll see what I can do.

OK, here is a zoomed out view of the Main Resort and before anyone syas it, the terraforming and landscapping has not even been started yet and I'm sure it will go thru many versions before I get it the way I like it. Like I said, there are over 400 suites in this hotel and was inspired in part by the Contemporary Hotel at WDW.

Edit - Removed image as it has been changed.

Again thanks for the feedback.

holy shiznittle....cant amagine what the park will look like if that's just the resort. Is all that water the swimming pool?...if so, it looks a little big compared to the hotel. Anywho, excellent color scheme, I like the checkering, exquisite architecture.... and as mentioned before, I hate the sport, but am enjoying this park so far...

Your resorts are absolutely amazing. You don't even need to do any rides, just make a huge hotel complex.

Much better.

That would completely void the entire idea of RollerCoaster Tycoon.

Aside from making the hotel look like its on a chess board, youve created a dazzling building.

lol,its a nascar park/resort so you would expect the checkerboards

Do the Nascar trackways have checkerboards all around them? Does the stadium have a checkerboard skin around it completely? Do any nascar restaurants in the US have the entire restaurant covered in checkerboard themes? No, then why should you?
