Hi, im new here so ill introduce myself with my latest park. Its called Disney's Forbidden Kingdom and it is about 50-60% finished. Its a 'New Generation' Disney park with more thrill rides etc. Its been rolling for about 2 months but has only been shown on Coaster-net. Shown below is the main centerpiece to the park "Forbidden Tower"
All suggestions/constructive criticism welcome.Attached Images

i dont really like that at all but if the park is 50-60% complete why cant you show a better and more complete screen?

Please take this the right way when I say: its not a very good centerpeice. Maybe if you added to the building and made it more Extraveagent (sp?) but at the moment it gives a bad impression of the park. -

it doesnt look very "disney". If it was enclosed in a HUGE showroom with effects around it and with the right theme, that would be Disney. -

Because advertising isn't for showing off the whole park.if the park is 50-60% complete why cant you show a better and more complete screen?
True Coaster, I think it's okay. You must know that people here are allergic against Disney parks if they're not of top quality. There have been privileges made up that only Natelox and Ckorckssckreewed (<-- word filter ) are allowed to do them. So your park will be looked at sceptically.
I must say I don't have a good idea what really makes a disney park so my comment won't be of much help. What you have there so far is okay, don't change it. Just finish the park and improve. -

Add more detail to the building like 1/4 tile blocks and other things it will look way better at the end.

What i meant by 50-60% done, i meant main features like rides etc, not all of the scenery n things. Im still working on the main centrepiece, adding a few things here and there. Seeing what looks best! Anyway, here is another area. Its called Skull Kingdom and is nearly complete. I don't know what to put around the moat though. Any suggestions?Attached Images

That screen is a lot more impressive. As for the moat, add some bones or spooky scenery.. make it look more themed and Disney-ish. Otherwise, very good.
And on a side note: You might want to change the name too. "Forbidden Kingdom" sounds like the park is closed or condemned. -

Yep the first screen to be honest looks terrible(no offense) but the second screen i slooking pretty nice. -

Another DFK...
Anyway, you know I'm gonna say this, but it doesn't look Disney. It lacks the warm, inviting atmosphere and the architectural detailing that makes Disney Disney. Rides are out in the open and not tucked away. There is no coziness at all. All of these things make Disney parks Disney, but I just don't see that in those screens.
I'll say that the second screen is about fifty times better than the first though.
Keep on working at it, but I wouldn't call it a Disney park. Just call it "Forbidden Kingdom." -

I was thinking about the name actually. As it doesnt really give a disney feeling, ill go with corkscrewed's advice and just leave it as Forbidden Kingdom.
Anyway, i was working on another area which is no where near complete. I need suggestions on how to expand it, making it more 'Complete'.Attached Images

I'm just going to say that you've done a classic amateur tactic: fill the crap out of an unused space with trees. People will complain about that. Perhaps you can expand some buildings into it and make another ride... may some rapids or something like that? -

Yer the entrance to that lodge thing is a bit too much for such a small lodge.And corckscrew is right in saying about covering blank patches with trees i suggest that you put some sort of structure/building on it. -
True Coaster Offline
Well, first things first, super rich, that is like a posh lodge themed resturaunt not a proper lodge. And where the trees are is hills. Im doing what i did with the other area before by building itnto the hillside and ill maybe add a flat ride or two. More SS maybe to come next weekend or earlier.
Also, in the SS of Skull Kingdom, im trying to discuize that stray piece of track. Any Ideas? -

The trees definately need to go or be replaced by something.
You could try to fill some of that space with backstage areas, which I haven't seen much in RCT parks. Add some employee gates, plus some backstage employee only areas (buildings and walkways). If you do that, then you can leave the rest of the trees because they're not just filler at that point. But if you add the backstage area, then the park is more complete, knowwhatimean?
