Euroscape had a horse in the main map, that was done with only custom scenery. That's the best horse so far... I can;t think of any further suggestions really...

Preface: The famed Trojan horse has been rolled to the center of the city. All of the Trojans had a large celebration drinking and dancing up and down the streets. Little did they know that the Greeks had an unpleasant surprise waiting for them...

In the scene: Everyone was very happy today. There was a lot of dancing and drinking, but I stayed home with my wife, Creusa, my father, Anchises, and my son, Iulus. Later in the night I did go out to see what was going on...

In the horse: I am Pyrrhus, some call me Neoptolemus. I am the son of Achilles. These Trojans do not know what is coming. Although the Greek ships did leave, they did not go far. They are hidden by the island of Tenedos, waiting for the gates to be opened by us. You should see a Greek warship. They are very intimidating...


After exiting the horse: All of the Trojans are asleep. We have opened the gates and the reinforcements are arriving. It is time to attack...

In Aeneas's home: I woke up hearing screams and commotion. When I looked out of my window, my eyes were met with destruction. The Greeks were everywhere. They were twisting and wrapping around the city like the snakes had done to Laocoon. Both the Greeks and the snakes had come from Tenedos...

(coaster named: Tenedos)

Aeneas running through the city: Slaughter everywhere! I made my way to king Priam's home. There I saw the most horrendous event take place. Pyrrhus had broken in. Pyrrhus cut down Priam's son right in front of him and here was the scene that followed: Priam said, "For what you've done, may the gods give you a fit reward. You forced me to witness my son's death: defiled my eyes with his destruction. Achilles, your father, was not so cruel to me. He gave me back the body of Hector for burial and returned me unharmed to my lands." With this Priam hurled a spear at Pyrrhus that was uneffective. Pyrrhus replied to him, "Report my terrible actions to my father, the degeneracy of Neoptolemus. Now die!" With that he killed Priam. [This is a very famous scene. One of my personal favorites. Also a favorite scene of Shakespeare. He had it be Hamlet's favorite scene.] This marked the end of Troy...

(3d Cinema named: Fall of Troy - 3D)

Fleeing: I gathered a group of Trojans to flee with me and continue the Trojan race elsewhere. My beloved Creusa got lost on the way to the ships and I could not find her. We had to continue. We got on our ships and fled into the mediterranean, never to return again...



***A big thanks to cbass for making both of the ships for me!***

I really don't like the B&M coaster. The theming just doesn't workout. The colors don't match. However the ships are something else. Those are perfect

That looks really, really good. Your architecture is very nice, especially around that cobra roll. The portcullis' are also a very nice touch around the theater, and that blood red looks really good. Keep at it.. and don't worry.. your Trojan horse owns Butterfinger's.

Looks beautiful, and i'm loving the boats. I think the B&M looks great.

I love how the ships fit into the story, AP. Glad to help.

The coasters look great too.

Nice architecture, nice coaster and amazing boats. I love how the park follows a storyline, very cool. The map is great too.
I don't quite like the landscaping behind the Greek warship though, it looks a little sloppy and unnatural.

First Shot
I like the ship, but like already said, the landscaping behind it looks sloppy.
The rocks look out of place since they're jutting up, and then some are sloped.

Second Shot
I don't really like it that much at all. The architecture doesn't have a flow to it. I'm really not a fan of the mud texture when it is that color, it sticks out against the castle texture too much. I also don't like how some of the textures don't match up, a pet-peeve of mine. The cobra roll looks very strange, like it's leaning all to one side. Putting space between the half-corkscrews would even it out and make it look better. Don't you think the banked turnaround should have more supports on it somewhere?
It looks out of place without them at the highest point.

Third Shot
I like it, except for the mis-matched textures. It just looks weird when it isn't continuous.
Also, the flowers don't really match the accent colors, maybe a different color choice there?

Fourth Shot
Looks nice, but the sails look a tad too heavy for those tiny supports.

Thanks for the comments....I'm glad that some of you like the story that goes along with the park...

-the landscaping behind the boat....I will simply say that I like it...having some jut up and others sloped gives a little bit of realism...

-the "mis-matched" textures don't look mismatched to me...I personally think that the textures I used go great together and using more than one makes it so it isn't boring and dull...I also love the mud wall that color with the castle wall...

-I'll look into getting supports for that turnaround...

-Like Toon said in his topic...a couple nitpicky comments about colors...but if you truly think that a color I choose for something will ruin the park then by all means tell me...

-I don't think those tiny supports will have any trouble holding up the sails...they are made of canvas right cBass?

Right. The sail's not going anywhere. If it falls off then I owe John a coke.

Fucking Brilliant map, I love you for doiing some new

Make it a good park and it could be monumental

wow.. the ship is very realistic!
and Cobra Tracks is nice!

I like your thematic justification for the B&M coaster. I appreciate it a lot more now that I know what you were going for. It does wrap around the buildings like a snake. The ships of course are wonderful. cBass is one clever fellow. And the architecture is looking nice as well. This park is high up on my "anticipation list".

Wow i actully like this park. It reminds me alot of The Odessey and just like Disney it sticks to a story. Since this sorta goes along with the Oddessy will you also be doing the Oddessy?

Preface: Troy has fallen to the Greeks. Pyrrhus, a famous Greek warrior, has killed the royal family. A small group of Trojans have fled, led by Aeneas, whose destiny is to start the Roman race. As an aside from the story (not actually in the Aeneid), the Greeks return victorious to Greece.

Although this part is not from the epic, Greece is on the map....and important in the epic...therefore I did build it....

In the scene: On the return from Troy, we passed a lovely Greek island...


Once we arrived in Greece, we celebrated in the streets and praised the gods...

(Coaster: invert called Phoebus)

Then we proceeded up to the Parthenon to make sacrafices...



Nota Bene: Phoebus is another name for Apollo...

i love that blue/white building, its great. but what i dont like is the columns holding up the inverts loop, looks a little odd IMO. the white paths hurt my eyes, and the coaster colors may be in need of a re-painting. but the parthenon is fantastic, so great work there, because i see your going for acuracy, and its working. nice buildings as well. great work AP, this is sure to grab you atleast another runner-up.

but what i dont like is the columns holding up the inverts loop

I dont 'like' it either but its origional, ive nevr seen anything like it
