(Archive) Advertising District / The Best of the Beatles

The name pretty much speaks for itself. I'm taking my personal favorite highlights of The Beatles and stuffing them into a park.

The beginning section is in black and white to represent their early days...


...like on television when they premiered in the US. The circus show is called "The Ed Sullivan Show"


I used bright and bold colors to bring out the upbeat sounds of one of my favorite songs, "Twist and Shout." The ride is a mouse twirler thingie.


I know the second pic has a red sign on the entrance. I haven't gotten around to hacking the ride so I can cover it up.

It is all very symbolic. I expect you will be posting a readme with this park?

Looks great so far, the archy in the first screen is beautifully simple and the third screen is the complete opposite- yet still looks fab. So the park shows diversity, and also has some wonderful architecture. Perfect ingredients for a good park.

Everything looks great, the first screens look a bit dull in color but you might want to go for that, your choice. Quite an innovative idea for a park...I was actually considering making a small 50 x 50 park similar to your idea, but, what the heck.

You really should do an "Octopus' Garden" area at some point, quite a good song...or even a circus area ala "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite"...

I've always wanted to do a small park on 311, but never got around to it. I can't wait to see how this all turns out.

You better have a Mala worthy trippy area based on "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". *shakes fist*

*stargazer*

First two screens look cool. Must of been fairly difficult to pull off that black & white effect. The last screen, however, I'm not too fond of. Too bright! I'd work on that, and maybe get rid of that red checkered path. Still looks like a cool park though. Gotta love the Beatles...

It is amazing gray style..

This have RCT2's charm

I like how you caught the black and white feel of the park,and the archy is excellent,keep up the good work

Thanks for the replies; I appreciate it. I got two new screens to show:

Some more of the architecture in the Twist and Shout section:


...and I hope you can guess what this one is.

Its a duck!

Some of the tree selection are a bit odd, but I can forgive.

I think your Twist and Shout section looks more like it should be "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"....

and I'm really curious to see how you'll pull of "Eleanor Rigby", what I consider to be perhaps one of the best Beatles songs ever...well, that and Glass Onion.

Also, your submarine needs help. Go look at a picture, and while you're at it, if you're going to capture the feel of Pepper Land, you might want to check out ALL of Peter Max's artwork, from the film, as well as his other works. Just google him.

Interesting concept for a park.

I think it's awesome looking. The colors are perfect. And I like your yellow submarine.

Beatles are excellent. Park is excellent. School starting again tomorrow is not excellent.

i´n not a great fan of the beatles... it´s my dad who lissen alot of the beatles so i knew it is the yellow submarine but like said befor ( by Caddie Gone Mad ) it could be a duck so a little modification ´d be great

the rest is great job and keep it great and you have a very successfull park in you pocket i think...


^ poor ska-man i hve 2 weeks left before skool begins

Hmm, I guess I'll have to figure out how to make it look more like a Submarine, but I didn't want to make it look like the cartoon submarine from the movie. I kinda wanted to make it more abstract and put my own spin on it while still making it look like a submarine. If you guys have suggestions to improve it some more, I'm all ears.

Anyways, I'm not positive about this screen...I might change a couple things, but I want to hear your input first. Ignore the small little simple building in the middle and just focus on the landscaping. This is a ladybug ride called "Strawberry Fields Forever":

^Now thats funky, i suppose i am liking the colours, it certainly is original. Is this the Elton John section? Anyway keep this up, its looking fab.

-X-

Awesome, yeah, Elaenor Rigby would be like a graveyard area if you were to make it. That's one of the best Beatles songs, but it is quite depressing...

And you gotta love the Beatles. If you don't like them, you're just a shallow person.

You sure thats not a Scratch n' Sniff screen!!? I thought strawberry before I even read your caption. X250 described it perfectly with the word "funky", and I thought I was the only one who had enough balls to use that shade of pink?....I guess not. Awesome work SirSpinster, you certainly do have the creative juices flowing with this one, please keep it up.

Is this the Elton John section?

-X-

Elton John. This is the Beatles. From what I know Elton John was never in the Beatles. If i'm mistaken and don't know what I am talking about then please tell me.

^No your right, he never was in the Beatles. Don't know what i was thinking when i typed that..
I really love that screen though SirSpinster, it looks almost edible!
