Thanks for all the comments!

MightyMouse011 Thank you for the advice...I went back through all of Africa and made changes to the land, making some of it not sand...and I think it does look a lot better now.
SirSpinster I added some more green around the Nile, I meant to do that...so thanks for reminding me.
ride6: I might do a farmer's field on the other side of the Nile because Egypt is basically full.
Caddie Gone Mad: That is a good idea....I think I'll go back and put some little dunes here and there.
Rhynos: Each building is separate from every other building, and Egypt was colorful, so different colors for different buildings would fit.
Metro: Your comments are kind of confusing. Buildings and paths are separate things, and the architecture of Egypt was, more or less, dominating. I also believe that my buildings are pretty detailed. There are details other than overhangs, right? I may go back and put a few more canvas things in there though...

Yes, of course they are different things. My suggestion is, to make the path less dominating, interact the buildings with it a bit more. It makes it look more flowing instead of making it look like the egyptians built the building there just because it fit around the path.............

Yes, of course there are other details to overhangs. I didn't mean to imply that overhangs are the only detail there is.

Well, I've got another update for everyone! It has been slow moving but I do hope to finish this park before summer's end.

This screen is actually part of the Egypt section...


Here are a couple screens from the Sinai area, which is a difficult area to do because I am trying to make it subtle and more emphasis on landscape and theming...

(The coaster you see was made by Gymkid...)



Comments appreciated

Looks exellent. Nothing else to say.

Looks great.. but very rushed. You must add some dirt or something under your paths.. it will make it look 10x better than it already is. Also, try to work on your landscaping a little bit.. the bushes look a little awkward by the coaster. Awesome work, though.

A very different park i seen.... I like it.

Hey... long time no see.. huh? nice topic!
I like the orange roof and tree and bushes.. that's very great!

I hope to release soon

Nice colouring, the architecture is great as usual. Can't wait for the download.

-X-

The paths on the roof are a great touch and not too LLish. (I'm not a fan of the mixed style) The colors are getting a bit repetitive but it goes with the theme so cool.... Keep at it. You're doing a great job with this park....

This park is still under construction ...I wanted to make another update to bring this topic back up, and I am going to try to post the final segment of the story line sometime this week also. So, check out these screens, stick around for the ending of the story, and wait for the only, small, screen of the Italian area.

Here is a screen of the entrance area to a mini coaster made by Filaldo/Voodoo/Diego/Adonis (Filoodiegis, sounds like a vd doesnt it )...I did the work to the right, he did to the left.


This is the queue line for the ride called Burning Bush. That sculpture thing is supposed to be a burning bush ...and you can see my 'hi-tec' awnings

If I squint my eyes the sculpture does look like a burning bush...actually...no it desn't. But the rest looks good

I like your work on this park. For the burning bush, though I assumed that's what the sculpture was, it could be more bushlike. I'd recommend using some of the actual bushes from the game for part of it so that it looks more bushy. And I'd also kill off some of the right side green, cause it seems to stick out. I like the flames, but I suppose you could've always used the ingame flames for a more active sculpture. Still, cool ride name.

I also like some of your overhangs and how you did the pillars in the second pic. And the mini zigurrat (I certainly spelled that wrong) in the first is a nice touch. My only problem with that is how you already have used a lot of the step pieces in that pic.

Nice, lush and pleasant screens you've got here AP.

The burning bush sculpture could use some work. Why not just bushes and flames?

The awnings look rather superb btw. ;D

Very nice indeed AP....I have to agree with everyone about the burning bush; that some real foliage / flames would suit better there, but otherwise, this is fantastic....I can't wait to see it!

I jsust love this park. I can't wait to d/l it... no real advice is needed here... just keep it up! It's very originally. The atmosphere is just breathtaking.

this park is very interesting..

AP these new screens look really nice, great use of Toon's steps, just please water the gardens!

---Update No.6---
The conclusion to the Epic
...A small screen of Italy...
(slightly based on the Picturesque Movement)



Preface: After the long departure from their destiny, the Trojans have rededicated their efforts to fulfilling the fates. This, however, came at the cost of a relationship and a life; Dido, the queen of Carthage, who had given her affections to Aeneas, took her life after cursing the Trojans. Not hearing this curse, the Trojans pushed on to their destination...Italy.


Conclusion: Aeneas and his men arrived at the Tiber region, which was ruled by Latinus. Latinus was getting along in his years, but did not have a male descendant to whom he could pass along the crown. He had received a prophecy, however, that his daughter, Lavinia, would marry a foreigner. A neighboring chief, Turnus, who ruled Rutulia, was seeking Lavinia's hand in marriage when he heard that some foreigner, Aeneas, was gaining the approval of Latinus. Turnus, enraged by this, gathered a strong force of allies, including Latinus' wife, to get rid of Aeneas and Latinus. Aeneas, sensing this conflict, gathered his forces.

The war began and each side was ferocious in battle. One of Aeneas' closest friends, Pallas, was slain by Turnus in a battle. Turnus took a jewel encrusted belt off of the dead body of Aeneas' friend and wore it as a trophy. As the war raged on, the Trojans slowly gained the upper hand. And in the final decisive battle, Aeneas and Turnus became locked in a one-on-one skirmish. Once Aeneas caught site of Turnus' bloody war trophy, he became enraged and quickly disarmed his opponent. Then, raising his sword high above, he brought down the end of the war, and the end of his rival.

Having defeated his enemies and gone through so many tribulations over such a long time, Aeneas had now achieved his and all of the Trojans' destiny. He married Lavinia, thus mixing the blood of Troy with that of the Etruscans and creating the Roman race.

He then founded a city, named for his new bride, called Lavinium. His son, Iulus, from his late Trojan wife, Creusa, went on to found the city named Alba Longa. This city became the birthplace of Romulus and Remus. Romulus and Remus went on to argue over land and Romulus ended up killing Remus. Romulus then founded a city named for himself. It was called Rome. And the rest is history.

If you are curious where the curse comes in, you can research the Punic Wars. In the Punic Wars, the hated enemies, the Romans and the Carthaginians, met in battle many times. During these wars, the famous Carthaginian General, Hannibal, made his historic march on Rome on the backs of his fearsome weapon, elephants. The Romans, however, escaped defeat by sending a force to Carthage itself, forcing Hannibal to return. There, Scipio Africanus, the famous Roman General, defeated Hannibal.

THE END

I like your ideas
Neat objects and Architecture designs..

Good job

THE END

Does this mean you will release the park soon?
That would kick ass.
