(Archive) Advertising District / Phantasia Theme Park & Resort

  • Meretrix%s's Photo
    I would like to welcome everyone to a new and revised Phantasia Theme Park thread. The last thread got entirely off topic.

    Walt's Platz has been completed in the SE as has the Phantasia Bahnhoff (this park IS in Austria after all) and work now continues down Main Street. I invite anyone interested to check out the screens. I won't be saying much around here, but I will tell you right now that an update on construction will be posted once a week, each Sunday.

    There are four themed areas in Phantasia: Walt's Platz, Adventure Isle, Dark Majesty Kingdom, and Discovery Bay. There is also a "Volks Platz" shopping/dining district, as well as the Sorcerer's Resort Hotel. I sincerely hope you enjoy the shots. As I said before, I won't be posting here, except once a week, to announce when an update to the photos has been made. I think that the last Phantasia thread got completely out of control, and I take full responsibility for that.

    That said,........I present..........A Whole New World of MAGIC!

    ^ I must agree. That's amazing. You and Mad Dawg should make a park. Wow that would be amazing.

    Ok...
    Youve got the Disney feel down, and you make it really look like Disneyland...
    But, it still does not have the flare that Tilted Acres had. Kudos on the mickey mouse logos in the flowers and the train station though, thats badass.

    Time to make myself look like an idiot.

    Personally, I think this park is a little too dark for Disney. It looks...shadowy and glum.

    The buildings and architecture are excellent. The problem is with the paths. Those tarmac squares seem to creep up around everything else, and make the whole thing too gray.

    I don't know...the buildings, if anything, are better than Tilted Acres, but the path just seems to be a letdown.

    One suggestion I have is to replace the tarmac with the brown brick in the main square. I see no reason why the brick can't go all the way to the buildings. But that's just the main square.

    Ok, now for a REALLY dumb suggestion.

    Here is a link to pictures of a shrine in Japan. Notice the path color in the main courtyard. I've been to that shrine; it works really well there and I'm thinking maybe, just maybe, it could work around the train station.

    Now I know this park is not Japanese, but you could still carry over. You can choose the shade of dirt, of course, though I would go with something similar to what's used in the shrine. With the rest, you can go with the brick. I think the dirt is a good courtyard color, but not a good plaza color.

    Good luck on this park. I'm glad you're persistent with it.

    Fatha, it will never have the Tilted Acres flare because it's NOT Tilted Acres and isn't trying to be. For DTA, I knew that I HAD to showcase something UNSEEN at NE before in order to have people stand up and take notice. Walt's Platz isn't supposed to WOW you, it's supposed to say "Welcome Home. You're amongst friends who aren't gonna judge you. You can eat as much pie as you like and you're not gonna gain any weight." That's all. The rest of the park is where the "action" is. You should feel "safe as houses" in Walt's Platz. NOTHING should jar you, strike you as original, or make you sit up and take notice. Thanks for realising the obvious. Look for updates on Discovery Bay on Sunday................until then......keep searching for your laughing place......

    As far as a collabo between Mad Dawg and I....what d'ya think Scottie?

    I'm for it. ;)

    Wait, you're not messing with my head are you?

    I've always loved this park, much more than DTA.

    Now get a real pic host. ;)X

    Hello.


    God dammit B...

    I hate Disney so much, and yet you still manage to do it better than anyone.
    Damn you...

    Kisses!

    Pie, you say? Well, in that case...

    Best philosophy behind a park EVER. That should be the slogan. "Phantasia: Eat pie, don't get fat!" Brilliant.

    Oh yes, screens are nice too. ;)

    I think this IS a dark version of Disney - that was the premise, at least.

    Brilliant as always :(

    HELLO! Have you not seen Phantasia? That thing at the end? Holy shit, that scared me so much as a kid. And that mad Wizard after seeing what Mickey did. So scary.

    meretrix, its these kind of screens that make me feel even more and more insignificant...

    tis fabulous, you are the true disney guru, my friend...
  • RaoulXpres%s's Photo
    So glad to see this park back on track.
    Screens look great, really invoking a mood that few have done in RCT.
    Kudos on that.

    Really looking forward to the rides, I did a fantasia park in RCT 1 and had a blast themeing to that.

    RCT2 + Meretrix + Fantasia = inevitable success

    It's dark because it needs that Austrian feel to it. Seeing as it's either based or inspired by the place... or both.

    Trix, lose this and die.

    And don't start a DisneySEA park... yet. :D
  • Geoff%s's Photo
    I have a question. How do you add rides, while you are still in scenario editor? Like how did you add that train station, while you were still in scenario editor?
  • Corkscrewed%s's Photo
    You can't.
  • Geoff%s's Photo

    You can't.

    well then how does this park have a train track and station, if it's still in scenario editor.
