I thinks thats most of them, but I dont have time to comment, sorry

Needs more color other than various shades of brown. I actually really like the roof lines, very realistic, but the walls are plane and boxy. Try to use slight variations in architecture so its still cohesive but doesn't all look too similar. The foliage is okay. OH and that big brown buildings is really killing it. Nothing about it really looks functional or aesthetically pleasing, too dull. Keep working on this I'm sure the park can turn out real nice.

Ok, errr... Sorry about the browns, brown is my fav colour....

Hmmmm

It's al REAL Park but it's not so good.
You must add more details and you must use more colours.

You can it better,

It's a pretty average park, but you'll improve with time if you stick around this site and take a look at the other parks going on, so I'll just comment on the Tussaud's theme...

You may or may not know I'm currently making my own tussaud's park, and I think the only thing remotely Tussaud's like about this park is the queue line style. Basically, every ride at all 3 parks has signs announcing the ride by the entrance, I usually build them then hack paths over the top. Then, there's the queue line fencing - if you've been to the parks, you'll know that rides like Vampire, Nemesis Inferno, Colossus etc. all have the exact same fencing around the queue lines, especially. It's the wooden fences with the diagonals on. Well, the best way to recreate that in rct2 is to stack two wooden fences on top of each other, then a pole fence behind them.



Like that, in the top left corner. In fact, one of the signs is visible there as well. (Sorry if this is all sounding arrogant; I'm not saying that my park is amazing, just that I've done research into the Tussaud's theme).

The themeing at Tussaud's is very distinct as well, unlike Cedar Point or Six Flags, for example. Try and use distinct colours for each section and introduce graphic scenery, there's plenty of that around the parks as well.

Apart from that... these pics may help you:


(there are those fences and the signs, note the fastrak system as well)


This is classic Tussaud's themeing, bright colours, a bit childish, etc.



If you want more pics, check out www.twoswords.co.uk, it's been a life saver for me.

Ok, thanks. Ill change the queue fences. And i dont know why, but that rct2 pic inspired me to re-design the area that im doing at the moment!

What the fuck did you do? Maybe i should 2 if i still got my old account there.......


For teh park, go look at all the other fabulous topics of other rct2 parks. Turtles, Foozy's for eg. There're plenty of'em. They should help you out, oh, change your sig.

What the fuck did you do? Maybe i should 2 if i still got my old account there.......

I told them to do it.

Ok, so, ive had made a start at the re-designed area, and ive made more realistic paths. It seems to be flowing very well. I wont be able to post a screen tomorrow as ill be at thorpe park.

Dude, you should do this as a synthesis club project. We need the park. It looks great.

i actually really like it.
continue on this track.

It is, if you look in the folder, its there.


Asperix: Ill probably keep it the same architechture, but ill have wider paths. And paths surrounding the buildings. So not actually too much of a difference.

Good

but too many realistic style is not good.. add the some fantasy things.. cuz this is game.. lol

That huge building looks more like a layer cake than a building. There are four different walls stacked on top of each other, with no windows or anything. Try to keep the textures down to...less than four wall textures, and vary the windows and doors and such.

Its a coaster. How can i have windows? It will really spoil the effect.

If that's an indoor coaster than I see what you're going for, and it's not that bad. How ever, I think you need something else around it to make it more appealing, maybe like some water works or some landscaping. But other than that, it looks fine.
