    Xcoaster International's: Legacies of India

    Posted Image

    I've finally gotten around to releasing this. I made this park for the RCT2.com May Road Rally Competition where the 50x50 parks needed an inverted coaster and were to themed around an Asian country. So I chose India since I had the most experience with it and the most ideas to do with the workbench provided. I worked up to the last hour on it and have never really been too happy with it, but it does have it's good points. I didn't win the competition, but the parks that did win definitely deserved it. It's funny though, even though I didn't win that, I entered my Taj Mahal recreation in the RCT2.com 2004 Structures Convention Structures Challenge in the Famous Landmarks category, and I won that at least. I guess this park wasn't worthless at the winning aspect.

    Anywho, here's the spiel:

    XI's: Legacies of India is another of the smaller XI parks with the pay-one-price option or the option of instead buying ride tickets. And since admission to the park is very cheap, families can come and enjoy the park for a few hours using either of the two ride ticket options and then leave without feeling the need to try and get their money's worth, which might happen at a larger park with an expensive entry fee.

    XI's: LOI is based on the great Asian country of India and the impressions people from it's history and myth have left upon it. The theme park is divided into four main areas focusing on different aspects of India. The first is centered around India's more modern history with the great palace and tomb of the Taj Mahal as a backdrop and several chances for shopping and eating, along with a number of rides. This section also serves as the entrance into some of the other areas, such as the adjacent section highlighting the notable ancient ruins of India with it's feature combo attraction of a roller coaster, water ride, and dark ride, Ruin Raiders: Vishnu's Vengance. Nearby here is the tranquil area based around the culture and religions of India with such attractions as Om. And the final section is based around India's famed epic and legend of Rama, where-in patrons visit the glorious city of Ayodhya and can ride on the exciting inverted coaster Rama.

    Comments, please. I know I haven't posted here a lot and the park isn't great, but some feedback would be appreciated.

    I voted for your Taj Mahal at the convention, as I really liked the originality in execution. I'm not too keen on the rock/ice rocks in the corner because I didn't think they looked too natural. Overall an enjoyable park though! (topic edited too!)

    Thanks for editing that. I think the mountains in the corner look hideous too, personally. I'd just read something about skiing in India, so I wanted to include mountains in a section, but they look terrible. I didn't spend nearly enough time on those. Like I said, the park certainly has it's problems. But thanks for the comment!
