Chanelwood Park - ***Screenshots of Finished Crossroads Monorail Station!*** 1/5/04

[sevey13]

Welcome to the Official Chanelwood Park Update Thread

Current Project: The Adventures of Captain No-Legs.
Next Project: Lake Chanelwood/ Shark Attack Roller Coaster
Previous Project: Crossroads Monorail Station


-----------Old News------------------
Right now, the park is still in its planning stages, so I won’t have any screens for a while. Here is the shpiel on Chanelwood Park:

Chanelwood Park. A place of fun and excitement unparalleled in the world. From Space to the Wild West to Hollywood to an expansive lake, Chanelwood offers a variety of rides for all ages.

Chanelwood is named for the Myst Age by the same name. In the game Myst, players can be teleported from one world to another as simple as opening a book. They could be in a serene beach one second, and then be in a lush rainforest the next. This idea exists in Chanelwood: The layout contains 5 distinctly different sections that are a mere few feet away. One second, guests could be exploring the wonders of the future, the next they could be touring a Hollywood Set Back Lot.

As a guest enters the park, the first thing they do is take a walk into the recent past, the mid 1900’s, to a time when people would come hundreds of miles to go to the State Fair. State Fair is the theme for the first section of the park. The long boulevard – like approach to The Crossroads is a recreation of a State Fair from the 1930’s – 60’s, complete with themed shopping areas, carnival rides, and two wooden coasters.

As our peep leaves the fair behind, they come to The Crossroads. The Crossroads is a general themed area. There will probably be no rides, but a centrally located information desk. This is their portal to the rest of the park. From here, they can access any of the five sections, Future World, Silverado, Lake City, or Mobley Vision Studios. These four sections are still in the planning stage, so they do not yet have their rides, but they do have landscape features.

Silverado is a Wild West themed area, so it will be mostly flat desert, except for a hill, which will contain a Log Flume. Several underground coasters (unknown what type as of now) will be included, as well as other Wild West themed rides. Silverado will have a section called the “Kiddie Corral,” one of the sections of the park built just for youngsters.

Lake City is a section of the amusement park that will be built entirely on a lake. It will include water features that will work with the several coasters that will go here to add to excitement, while keeping nausea at a minimum.

No park is complete without an outer space themed section. Future World is Chanelwood’s spectacular addition to the Sci-Fi world. It will be entirely enclosed in a geo-dome like structure, with expansions planned later that will be floating in the air, which will be the kid’s section.

Finally, we come to Mobley Vision Studios. It is named for my movie production company and will be themed like a Movie Studio, with several “behind-the-scenes” rides that will have tons of Ride Events, such as Disaster Canyon and the Exploding Rig. The logo for Mobley Vision Studios has been created and can be found at the link below.

That is all for now. Any input will be appreciated.

[belloman]

Sounds cool! I'll add it to my sig.

[sevey13]

Thank you.

[omgukk]

All these parks that get announced and such without screens are upsetting me!

Don't get upset bud, These park threads are like, well the starters of thier project and they will put up screens soon as they can.

That is how I started out "AsTro WorLD" with no screens but with information, then later screens came.

Hey Sevey13, sounds great.....I am also looking forward to see your park in action.

I got your park on my Siggy

[belloman]

Sounds cool!! I like your Idea of Monday Major Updates, yet I will not do something like it because I've already made some major updates lately, including 4 sections that are complete in planning, with 3 more to go (Food Canyon doesn't really need to be planned). Mobley Vision Studios sounds cool! You have a nice assortmant of rides there, including a coaster and a log flume! I can't wait for next Monday!!!

[belloman]

Cool! I can't wait for the AsTro WorLD preview video either!!!I also can't wait till I get RCT 3. :) :) :)

(Off-Topic)Hey Sevey13- are you any good at making coasters? I have a Coaster Contest, and I want some more entries! I only have 4 right now, so I am in need of more!!!

[BoRJoYZeE]

Hehe, I can't wait untill I really get the video up and going.
Since I am moving soon and I have alot of things packed up for moving, I will make a new Video that is alot better than this one I am releasing.

This video contains a fancy intro, ending and has pictures.


Next Video will have the same fancy intro and ending but will have mini clips inside the video.

Oh when I move I will show you a new ride that I haven't mention yet and it's called "No Limits" -> Stats 8.6,6.2,4.7

A Green and blue Twister that has a lift launch and has 7 inversions.

Well Sevey13 good luck on your park when you get the game and take your time when you get your park up and going, so it woun't look like it has been rushed.

Yes mine is taking a long time but it is turning out well.

[BoRJoYZeE]

I know i double post and all but

The Flight of the Red Baron
Dueling Suspended Roller Coasters does sound like a great ride but how does a suspended coaster have loops? do u mean inverted compact or just plain inverted

i haven't used the suspended coaster yet but I don't remeber if they have one yet, out in the real world.
This Suspended Coaster? (http://www.rcdb.com/pictures/picmax/busch-gardens-williamsburg/big-bad-wolf3.jpg)

[sevey13]

I'm pretty sure it is called the Suspended coaster. I will check on that, then come back with a few updates.

[sevey13]

Ok. I have a few updates about the park.

1. The ride entitled "The Flight of the Red Baron" has had a little contreversy, so I have checked up on it. AsTroWorLD, there is such thing as a Suspended Roller Coaster, I just forgot to add a word in there. The ride is called a


Suspended Swinging Roller Coaster

I know of at least one example in the real world, at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, called Big Bad Wolf. It was one of the first coasters I went on, so I remember it pretty well. Here is a picture of it:

http://www.4adventure.com/buschgardens/va/_images/image_big_bad_wolf.jpg

In case the tags don't work, here is the link:
http://www.4adventure.com/buschgardens/va/_images/image_big_bad_wolf.jpg

Anyway, it does exhist. The plane version is actually in the Demo menu screen in the first version, not the latest ones. Any other questions I will be happy to answer.


2. I have renamed the section of the park called "Lake City." It has changed to "Lake Chanelwood."

[BoRJoYZeE]

Yeah I know, my link didn't work I posted a picture and it was the Big Bad Wolf, But what I am asking I haven't seen a loop for that type of roller coaster.

[belloman]

Monday! Why wait for Monday! I can't wait for Monday! It's only Tuesday!! I want it now!!!!!! Make it Monday and Wednesday!!!

I can't wait for next Monday! (Well, actually I can wait) Keep those updates coming (on Monday!)!!!
Sounds Good!

[sevey13]

That is a good question. I don't have time to look right now, but I will add that to my list of expirements. This week, I am working with underwater Buildings

[belloman]

Underwater buildings??? COOL!!!! Like I said, I CAN wait for next Monday!!! What is an underwater building anyways??? Well, I know that it's a building underwater (or at least thats what I think it is)!

[sevey13]

You'll have to wait until Monday to find out more...

[marnetmar]

That's an excellent looking park you have there sevey13, great work on all the themeing/landscaping. You show a lot of attention to detail, I'm looking forward to seeing more when you get it done.

[sevey13]

Thanks for your comments, everyone.

[sevey13]

Wednesday Update

Ok. I have two maps for you, and the results of my major expirement are in.

The expirement was something I thought would be simple: I just wanted to know if I could build watetight buildings in a lake that could be submerged and not be filled with water. I tried with several different architectures, but none of them worked. Then, I got the idea to do it a different way. This time, I lowered the land for the lake, then raised a square-shaped section in the middle and hollowed it. Then, I put water in the lake and, poof! All I had to do was add walls around the middle section, and I had an underwater building! Note: The center mound has to be higher than the water line for this to work. And so, Atlantis is ready to be made (oops...did I say that? ;))

I will be happy to entertain questions.

[BoRJoYZeE]

I recommend you to make this park on Scenario editor, so u can make your maps big as 253x253 instead of sand box which is 130x130.

[sevey13]

Will do. Thanks.

[belloman]

I have a question: Can you build rides in Scenrio Editor? In RCT 2 you couldn't (as far as I know).

[BoRJoYZeE]

yes you can this time, u can make rides in the S-Editor

[sevey13]

Then what is the point of having sandbox?

[BoRJoYZeE]

I ask that myself.

[sevey13]

Lol.

[belloman]

Thanks!

[sevey13]

Ok, just finished finalizing Lake Channelwood, this weeks Monday Major Update. Now, all I gotta do is wait until Monday to post it.

[belloman]

Monday is coming around the corner...
so you mean its been nearly a week?? Yippee!!! Can't wait!!!

[belloman]

I'm in all the way!!! I'll just have to go and download the demo again (I uninstalled it).

[sevey13]

Sounds good.

[belloman]

I'm downloading the Demo right now. 29% complete!

[sevey13]

Good luck!

[belloman]

I think I'll enter a woody, but maybe I'll enter an Inverter... It's so hard to decide!!! 51% now!

[belloman]

Ok... I'm done with my entry... it is called Election Day. Sorry for the amount of screenshots, but it closed out before I could make a video, so I took screenshots every few seconds. If you want me to, I'll change them to the SCREENSHOT tag. Obviosly I made this in the demo because I don't have RCT 3 yet.

By the way... the stats in the video are sortof hard to view, so go to the stat screenshots ABOVE ^^^^^

[BoRJoYZeE]

sounds great, can't wait to see it.....nice coaster btw, can't wait for next update.

[belloman]

Cool! I'm gonna go start working on my Tuesday Track Layout cause I'm bored! Soooo... I'm the only one who has entered so far... will anyone else enter??? We will find out next ooooooooooooooon... The RCT 3 Forums Show!!!:D

[belloman]

Sevey13- is it ok if I use your prize ideas for my coaster contest?

[sevey13]

Go ahead...

[belloman]

Thanks!!!

[belloman]

Do you have RCT 3 now? You said you didn't.

BTW-you might want to take out some of the extra spaces in your sig... 18 lines long.

[sevey13]

Eww. 18 spaces? Will do.

[Neptune989]

use photobucket.com (or maybe it's .org or .net, i forgot), but they have free photo albums for you to upload pics to...... as for videos, idk any places for that

[belloman]

Did you register, or did you just upload then and there, because Imageshack (http://www.imageshack.us) is and has been working fine for me. I registered, its very easy to. Plus... Imageshack has an unlimited number of photos and the size limit is 1024 kilobytes. Also, they take jpeg, jpg, png, gif, bmp, tif, tiff, and swf.

[Enduro]

However, no where is letting me host the file. It is only 4.3mb.

thats the problem right there. Imageshack only allows for 1mb uploads. Im guessing you took all your screenshots and zipped them? Or are they still .BMP? If they are .BMP you should use paint and convert them to JPEG for a dramatic size reduction. If you zipped them, you could, 1 unzip and upload 1 pic at a time or, 2 divide the zip files into a couple and upload them 1mb at a time.

[sevey13]

Photoshack usually takes everything. Yes, I have an account, but this is a video, not a screenie. I tried to register with Photobucket, but they have these wierd registering guidlines.

[belloman]

Imageshack doesn't host videos... they only host Images.

Try http://www.tycoon3d.tk/... they say the'll host anything

[sevey13]

Ok, I have a video on the web, finaly. It is low quality because of the server, but it is very accomadating (Anyone who can get me a better server, please let me know). Not much action here, but you can see some of what is to come. This is the first in a Series of movies about the park. It is kinda boring, becuase it is a bunch of screenshots, but I am still fidling around with the movie making feature. WHat is the program that records soudn, again?

http://www.nicksvideo.com/tycoon3d/Volume I.wmv

[belloman]

Do you have RCT3 or was that the demo?

sevey13-your pm box is full...

[NicksVideo]

It is low quality because of the server, but it is very accomadating (Anyone who can get me a better server, please let me know)

Server? What's wrong with my server? And how does it affect the quality of your video?

[NicksVideo]

Yes, but that is not the fault of my server. When you exported the video, you made it at a very small resolution.

The server has a 20MB upload limit, so you can export much bigger file. If I recall correctly, you uploaded a better version of that video awhile ago, but when I made the switch, all the old uploads were lost. Feel free to upload that other version you had.

PM me if you want some help with better video quality.

[davidmc]

According to his site, he has a 20 MB upload limit, yet your .wmv file is smaller than 1 MB. I'm not sure how his site can be held responsible for the quality of your video in any way shape or form, but would be quite happy to be enlightened.

[NicksVideo]

Ya davidmc, video editing is a tricky thing for some, it has many options and can become confusing very easily. :eek:

But I do appreciate you agreeing with me in this, although it could've been delt with in a nicer manner. His problem is being taken care of now.

Sevey13, check your PM's. :)

[sevey13]

Thankies.

[Enduro]

What program do you guys use to do video editing? Not looking for a freeware or shareware type thing but an actual software program that you guys use?

[sevey13]

Pinnacle 8. Been using it for 3 years.

[davidmc]

I wasn't actually being snippy, although text is not usually the best medium for conveying the emotion behind a statement. I was trying to be factual and to the point, which can come across as being blunt, it seems.

[sevey13]

I have added a few things to the first page of this thread:

1. Countdown To Construction - A simple day counter to when actual construction will begin (projected).

2. Construction Completion Counter - Shows what percent of each area of the park is completed (doesn't include planning stages).


I have also made a few additions to my Siggie, in case you hadn't noticed. At the very bottom, there are 3 new lines:

Hogwarts: Coming Soon
Middle Earth: Coming Soon
Holiday Inn: Coming Soon

Here is a simple breakdown of what these mean:

Hogwarts: A Harry Potter themed Amusment park themed like Hogwarts Castle itself. All rides take place within the castle, or on the grounds. Promises to be spectacularly themed. Ride Ideas: The Flying Car, Werewolf!, Snape's Dungeon.

Middle Earth: Do not worry, I am not stealing anyones idea. This seems to have become a popular idea lately, but this was thought up long before it was put in here. Ride Ideas: Mount Doom, Flight to the Ford.

Holiday Inn: A Christmas themed park, with snow capped-mountains and beautiful ski-lodges. Ride Ideas: Double Black-Diamond, The Lift, Green Run.

[Enduro]

ah cool video. And since it was only 3mb it was especially easy. Nice narration of it :D . Cant wait to see Vol 2.

[belloman]

Nice video! I have a video from the demo that is going to come out this Tuesday with the Tuesday Track Update. It's not anywhere near 3mb (much larger)... I use Windows Movie Maker for my videos.

[sevey13]

Thank you. The Monday Major Update for Silverado (Wild West) is almost done!

[belloman]

Good! Can't wait!

[belloman]

Is today's Monday Major Update ready yet? Can't wait!!!!!

[sevey13]

Silverado Monday Major Update

Overview - Welcome. Welcome to a time when buffalo still roamed free. When cowboys and Indians wasn’t just a childhood game. Welcome to a place where the rivers run with gold, where bandits and sheriffs engage in classic shootouts at high noon that can only end in death of one of the duelists. Welcome to Silverado.

Silverado is the old west themed section of Chanelwood. It consists of two sections: the Town and the Mine. When guests visit the town, they become immersed in the American culture of the 1850’s Wild West. Walk down Main Street, watch a classic western gun battle, or enjoy a meal in one of towns many saloons. Experience rides like the Transcontinental Railroad, which lets you see life in a Native American village, or the buffalo roundup.

Or, if they dare, gusts can venture underground into the other section of Silverado, the Mine. This amazing underground breakthrough consists of several roller coasters and other rides that are completely under the rest of the park. In the dark. This is a ground-breaking advancement in roller coaster park design – to have an entire section of a park completely underground.

From big to small, there is something in Silverado for everyone. This promises to be a new frontier in park making, as well, as the entire section has been hollowed out for the mine, with the rest of the section built above it.

Silverado: Where the past comes alive.

Soon after opening, workers started disappearing without explanation. There were reports of spirits that were haunting the workers, causing many of them to quit. So, the site was closed and abandoned. Until now. You have been sent by the company to evaluate the condition of the mill for re-opening. You don’t worry. You don’t believe in ghosts. You think that the old stories have no substance. Little do you know hoe wrong you are…

Thank you!

[belloman]

Nice!!! I like the Log Flume Idea and your mine ride!!! BTW... I added a video made of screenshots. It has the onride screenshots in order so you don't have to click all of those links... It is under 4MB.

[suessical123]

Here Are my Thoughts so far on your park:

Wow, this sounds so cool i think i am going to melt. Ican't wait to see all the pics of your park. the suspense will kill me.

[sevey13]

2nd Video is just about ready.

[belloman]

2nd video... you mean there is 2!!! Wow!!! Can't wait:)

[sevey13]

Here is a new movie. It is high quality (about 19 mb), so download it only if you have a fast connection. It contains the video of a ride on the Wooden Roller Coaster named Apache, which I made. It could go in the section of the park called "State Fair."

And here it is:

[lime]

Very nice :)

[belloman]

I like, I like!!! I'm thinking you are using the demo cheat... I know I am!!! Not for my contest entry, but I did for the Spooky Hallow preview Video... kind of messed up on the little tunnels (accidentally put a wall throught the track). Looking good!

[sevey13]

I don't use cheats. I do my things the old fasioned way. What cheat are you refering too?

[Enduro]

Just watched the video and it looks nice. Some great drops in it and I liked how it weaved back and forth. Only thing I notcied was at the very end it kind of abruptly stopped at the station as opposed to if it were to kinda slow down by some brakes. But other then that it looked great.

[sevey13]

Thanks.

[belloman]

I am referring to the cheat where you copy the Tutorial 3 dat file to the base page, rename it Demo.dat, and rename the original Demo.dat file to something like DemoBACKUP.dat or something...

And by the way... in the post directly above about the coaster contest, it says that the contest ENDS the second I press the Submit this post till December 18. You should fix that....

And.. your PM box is full...

[sevey13]

I just got the notification. It says it is empty, but I just looked. There is nothing in the box. Just email me via regular email at sevey13@gmail.com

[belloman]

I'll just delete it!:)

I took it out now!

[ElBlufer]

ok, all of my coasters that I made in the demo (I dont have the full version yet :()are: here (http://www.freewebs.com/elblufer/democoasters.htm)

EDIT: Crap, I just remembered that I didn't save any of these :(

Ok, peeps. Here is Chanelwood Park: A Preview Series, Volume III. It features another Woodie, this one called "The Black Demon." It got pretty good stats, but for some reason, the screens I took of the stats didn't make it through. I am pretty sure it got Very High for Excitement, Medium for Intensity, and High for Nausea (Those aren't exact, just what I can remember from the other day). I hope you enjoy the video.

http://www.nicksvideo.com/tycoon3d/VolumeIII_0001.wmv

I have a question. Because you're making these in the demo, how are you going to put them in your actual park? Are you going to recreate them?

[suessical123]

Also i hve question: May i Borrow your idea for updates for my park that i will be doing after the x-mas

[sevey13]

The Update Thread is not really anyones idea, so feel free to go ahead and do one. Keep in mind that you will have to update it frequenty and try to make everything as perfect as possible, or you will suffer the wrath of certain older, more stuck-up members of the forum.

You do a great job of updating Sevey, this is one of the parks on my "must watch" list.

[sevey13]

Just a heads up: Tommorows Monday Major Update will be huge. It will contain all the plans for Future World, State Fair, and The Crossroads, as I realized they had not yet been covered in any update. It will also contain some sad news. Due to the massive FPS problem, I will be downsizing the park a little by taking away several rides and features. See what is going to go and what is going to stay tommorow. It is a hard decision to make, but I will sacrifice some things for the good of the park.

[belloman]

Thats sad:( ... oh well... its ok

[PDohm123]

Looks like a good park. May I add it to my siggie?

[belloman]

About cutting it down a bit... I found this:

There are still some things we would like to improve, so I will post these here for information (most have already been mentioned here, but this way they will not be lost in the depths of many threads).

1. Some rotating coaster cars (eg Virginia Reel) sometimes don't render properly. This will be fixed in the next update.
2. There is sometimes a problem with overlapping trains. This will be fixed, too.
3. Stratacoaster braking force - this is too low, and will be increased.
4. Some people have found slow-downs on certain high spec machines. We have found (and fixed) a complex interaction between certain sound cards and graphic cards. We are continuing to look for other possible causes of slow-down.
5. There is a peep numbers bug, where it can report fewer peeps in the park than there really are - caused by groups changing their minds about leaving at the park exit.
6. Speeds of some water rides - these will be amended.

There will be more little tweaks too in the update, and we expect to release the update before Christmas. More details to follow.


Just so you know!

[suessical123]

im am anzious to see this update

[sevey13]

Well, it is Monday. Y'all know what that means. Monday Major Update! This weeks Monday Major Update will be posted within 30 minutes.

PDohm123, feel free to add it. I will try to find a way to make mine smaller to add yours.

Belloman, I saw that the other day. I have included an explination that incorperates that in the update.

Stay tuned!

Monday Major Update #4
The Last One

Well, It has been four great weeks finishing the planning for Chanelwood Park. I have really enjoyed and am grateful for all your comments. But, all good things must come to an end. And, the great thing about THIS good thing is that it, when it ends, another good things begin. I have added some new counters to the first page of this thread, as well as some of the things found at the bottom of this update. I have added the names of all the rides/attractions, along with a corresponding percent telling how much percent of it was completed. I also added an “Hours Spent on Park” counter that will clock all the total hours I have spent working on the park. It will include planning. But, I will not keep you waiting any more to learn about the last remaining section of Chanelwood Park, Future World.

Future World

Overview-

You have spent time in the splendor of Hollywood, basked in the glory of stardom. You have seen the wonders of the water, explored the canyons and depths of Lake Chanelwood. You have been to a time past, spent a day in the life of a wild western town. Now, take a journey into a vision: A vision of the future. Enter the vast geodome that contains all of Future World.

Ride the roller coasters that would make even an alien look on in amazement. Explore the wonders of the universe in the exquisite planetarium, using the best technology available. Battle your friends in Lasix, or blast off to new heights from the launch pad.

The scenery and overall spectacle of this part of the park exceed the expectations of even the most hardened sci-fi fan. When you visit Chanelwood, your visit is not complete without a visit to this amazing look into what is to come, Future World.

Future World: Experience The Vision.

State Fair

Overview-
As a guest enters the park, the first thing they do is take a walk into the recent past, the mid 1900’s, to a time when people would come hundreds of miles to go to the State Fair. State Fair is the theme for the first section of the park. The long boulevard – like approach to The Crossroads is a recreation of a State Fair from the 1930’s – 60’s, complete with themed shopping areas, carnival rides, and two wooden coasters.

The Crossroads
Overview-

The crossroads is the central monorail station for Chanelwood. It is themed in part with items from all of the other sections, but it also has a flavor of its own. It is also the largest of the monorail stations. The continuous monorail line has two stations here, with stations also located in Mobley Visions Studios, Silverado, Chanelwood Park, and Future World.

Rides

The Crossroads
Monorail


Misc.

It is a hard decision to take some rides away from a park. It takes away the splendor and the majesty of some areas. However, unless a second patch comes out before construction begins in 6 days, the following rides/attractions will be permanently removed from the lineup for Chanelwood Park.

From Mobley Vision Studios:
Skyline

From Lake Chanelwood:
H2O TURBO
Atlantis Underwater Recreation
The Four Seasons Fireworks Displays
Note: The monorail station will moved to a different location in Lake Chanelwood.

From Silverado:
Western Wheel
Transcontinental Railroad
Minedrill
Dy-no-myte!
Strikin’ Gold
Note: The underground portion of Silverado, AKA “The Mine,” will be removed. Mine Tours will still be a ride, however it will start above ground, then go below.

From Future World:
What was taken from here was not included in the update along with those taken from State Fair.

If I finish the park and find that the FPS problem has not yet attacked, I will of course add some of the things back in.

That is all the planning information for Chanelwood Park. Now, construction can begin, as well as planning for Hogwarts, my next park. :) Enjoy!

[sevey13]

Wow. For having so many people anxious to see the update, I am having a sadly low amount of replies. I know it is a lot of reading, but I had to write it...

[belloman]

Wow! Great update!!! Too bad those things will be taken out... the update will just not come too soon... you probably won't finish before Christmas, so there is a chance!!

[sevey13]

True, true. We will see. We will see...

[PDohm123]

Sorry sevey, I'm trying to work on my map for the new Carolina Adventure Park, and I haven't really had a chance to reply to anything. It looks like a major update to Chanelwood. And a lot of work. But hey...we all knew that these parks would be a lot of work, right? I'm lookin forward to the finished product.

[jaredude]

I've Added Your Park To My Sig If Thats Fine With You

[sevey13]

Fine with me. I would advise changing the color of the Carolina one. I can't really read it.

[PDohm123]

Not to mention you need to separate the line from the park above it, it's kinda run together.

Sevey13: Sorry, I picked that color for it, I thought it'd be different enough. I'll pick another color.

[sevey13]

Works for me.

[PDohm123]

Man...who would've thought parks were this much work! I just spent most of the night working on a prelim map with landscaping. Now, to figure out the footpaths and ride placements.

[tikitiki]

This thread is new to me and i have finished reading all of the last 5 long pages not to mention the 3 movies and the considerably long posts you make severy13. lol. David B. said that the second patch will be out before Cristmas and I'm guessing that will hopefully fixed the fraps problem then we can have those amazingly wonderful rides. I think H2O shouldn't be removed even though it maybe a fraps suckker. By what you wrote you made it sound really good. Darn man i wish i had the game :( Unfornturatly my computer has a sis cr*p chip. otherwise known as a built-in video chip) Suks. I think this is going to become a great turn out! And keep up the work!!! WOOT WOOT!

Cheers Tikitiki

[sevey13]

Thank you very much for your response, tikitiki. I really do hope that the patch comes out before or soon into construction. I did fix the FRAPS problem. I am probably going to buy the full version after Christmas. I am going to make this really worth my time, and the time of everyone who watches its progress. I can gaurentee at the least weekly movies, daily screens, and very regular updates. That is why I put all those counters on the first page, so everyone can see exactly what is going on when it is going on. Thanks again. I really am looking foreward to starting construction.

[PDohm123]

TikiTiki: I know what you mean dude. I'm starting out too, and I hope I can match these guys.

[BoRJoYZeE]

This park is sounding great each time i visit.

oh and check your pm

[sevey13]

Thank you. Starting tommorow, there will be an hour countdown (it will not be changed every hour, and it will be general, not to the hours, until Sunday in the evening). On Sunday, when I announce the time for the start of construction, I will also be having a kickoff party here. You will see the very first screenshot within seconds of construction. All are invited!

[tikitiki]

YAY!!! WOOT WOOT! So does that mean you've gotten rct3 yet?

Cheers Tikitiki

[sevey13]

December 12th has been the construction start date ever since the posts started rollin' out.

[belloman]

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, my Construction deosn't begin for at least another week, maybe more... Still, Can't wait for the first screenshot!!!!!!!

[sevey13]

I thought you were getting it for x-mas?

[belloman]

I am.... we are celebrating xmas early (around the 19) this year. I dont think I ever said that though... oh well

[Enduro]

Cant wait to see all your ideas in picture instead of visualizing. If your ideas become real then wow your park should look killer.

[sevey13]

Projected construction start date:

Sunday, the Twelth of December, at 8:00:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time.

This is the projected (not exact) release time of the first screenshot. The time will change as the time gets closer.

[Milkdud]

Oooh tomorrow! However, what is the first screenshot going to be of? A little building? I doubt you can have that much done is such a short amount of time.

[sevey13]

YOu'll have to wait and see...

[belloman]

Construction starts today?!?!?!?! Wow!!! Can't wait!!!:D

[sevey13]

Today at 8:00 PM Pacific Time.

[Enduro]

I bet you wont get any sleep tonight cause you wont be able to stop playing it.

[sevey13]

Lol. I hope not. I have school tommorow.

[tikitiki]

lol. What school do you go to because i am in the pacific time zone to. Only technicly 8 hours and 30 minutes left!
YAY

cheers Tikitiki

p.s. i also noticed you've put 1 and 2 percent done on one 2 of the coasters. Does that mean you've started early?!

[sevey13]

Ingraham High School in Seattle.

I am changing the projected Start of Construction time up an hour, to 7:00 PM.

[sevey13]

I am largely done with the State Fair section right now. I need to add some more theming, I think. I am not sure, though, what kind oftheming to put there. I will have some screenshots of State Fair tomorow. COnstruction has begun on Crossroads Monorail Station. More tomorow!

[Enduro]

Um from now on could u please convert your pics to jpeg before you post them cause bmp take forever to download to view. If you dont know how just open with microsoft paint and save as jpeg

[GiveTM_a_chance]

Are you going to post screens of the sate fair soon? Im willing to see some of your work.

[BoRJoYZeE]

Take your time now, it is best to do that, plus plan ahead.....

I been waiting for this moment...

[sevey13]

I will, I know how. I was just being mean. ;p

I don't know how confident I am in releasing the pictures of State Fair quite yet. I am just worried that there isn't enough scenery in them right now. But, then again, how would you theme a state fair? See the problem? What I have done so far is plop a few trees down here and there. If I posted a few, could you maybe give me a few ideas as to how to spruce the whole thing up?

[belloman]

I think you should post them and we give you ideas to spruce it up.... you know- 2 heads are better than one!!

[sevey13]

Ok. Give me a few minutes.

[belloman]

Ok. I'll wait a few minutes.

[Milkdud]

For a state fair use generic scenery like the brick walls and such and make houses. Also use lots of nice tall trees. THe western themed walls will also work nicely. Hope this helps.
P.S. Maybe some small ponds as well near rides and stuff, or maybe even one with row boats inside.

[sevey13]

Ok. I will do a little tweaking, then post some screens.

[sevey13]

Here are a few screens of the Chanelwood Park section called State Fair. PLEASE tell me what you think!

Welcome to Chanelwood!

Keep in mind it will be surrounded on all sides by other scenery, mostly wild west in Silverado, and water in Lake Chanelwood.

Kudos to Nick for his new Tycoon3d.tk site. Looks great!

[hillibilly]

Looks good.:) Being from Arkansas I know my State Fairs, they are our amusment parks, yeah just add trees and water and some small buildings. Can't wait for the rest of the park

[belloman]

Oooo... I like, I like!!! very nice... I don't know what to say for scenery because I don't have RCT 3 yet so I don't quite know what there is to choose from... looks good!!!

[sevey13]

Here is what I will do. Since I don't know exactly what to add now, I am going to start working on Silverado and come back to this later on, one I see what will be surrounding the State Fair. More updates soon!

[tikitiki]

Great job so far! I like it your doing good! Also if you need help posting or uploading anything instead of taking your time to upload them just send em to me over aim(look at my profile) and i'll get em uploaded. Ill be back very soon I have to eat dinner.

Cheers Tikitiki

[belloman]

Thats a good idea.... can't wait till I get RCT 3! Can't wait to see Silverado!

[belloman]

I just noticed this too--- Tomorrow will be Chanelwood Park's one month anniversary!

[tikitiki]

Maybe we'll get a special fireworks show for this or something for the anniversary!

Cheers Tikitiki

[PDohm123]

Your State Fair definitely looks like a State Fair. Good thing I am renaming my County Fair area. I've decided on Carolina Showplace.

Anyway, the park looks good. I love the guild around the Merry-Go-Round. Did it improve excitement at all on that ride? Someone on my thread suggested encasing rides/stations. They bring excitement up by almost a full point, which I think would help with a lot of non-coaster rides.

BTW, have you considered building a building around the food court? You know, make it look like a huge store, or restaurant, or something like that? It'd add to your park value, and I think the peeps would enjoy the scenery more. Just an idea though, you don't have to do it if you don't want to :-)

[Milkdud]

For the state fair my advice to you would be add a bunch of trees everywhere, enclose the food court, and add more generic buildings to give it more of a fair feel. When i see the screenshots it looks like you just slapped some rides down and added footpaths and thats it. A bunch of trees everywhere will definately make it looks better along with buildings to make it realistic and viola, you got a fair! I think I counted 2 or 3 trees in those shots :noob:

Hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your contruction!

[sevey13]

Well, I am getting the consensus that I need more trees and buildings. That is a will do, of course. I will gladly oblige. And, Milkdud, that ride slappin' took me a whole two hours ;P. Anyway, I have set aside that section for a little while and have started building a roller coaster for Silverado, "Mine Tours." Should finish that one in a few days. The clincher on this one will be building the roof (Which isHUGE) :(. Wish me luck on that one. More screens tommorow.

[sevey13]

What do you think of this thread? Do you like it? Hate it? No matter what you think, please rate it! At the bottom of the thread is a rating menu where you can give this thread 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 stars!

[Enduro]

Its definetly atleast a 4 if not 5. Just the planning youve put into this is almost enough to give it a 5.

I have to agree with most of the others. Trees do a number especially the apple and yellow trees I think look great in a state fair area. Also you dont have to put all the trees next to the path but put some out around the backside of your coasters, It will look more natural. I like how you put the merry go round in the middle of the path.

I would also suggest like milkdud said and enclose the food court. They tend to make the best and perfect occasion to build a building. The way you set your park up so far, it seems like your state fair is gonna be the "midway" of your park so peeps have to go through it to get to other places, I would take some of your thrill rides and maybe place them a little farther away. Cause it seems a bit cluttered. It also might create a bottleneck in your park having so many rides right as you enter the park. Peeps might tend to stick around the entrance instead of having to go through the park to get to the rides.

[PDohm123]

I agree. I usually leave the scenery for last in each section, that way I know where I have room to build stuff. And, putting trees in and around the rides, definitely gives a natural feel. That's why I usually have such a thick forest outside the park, because I pick different tree types, and just randomly place them, until I am satisfied with the result.

When I rode my inverted coaster "Empire Express" with the foliage in and around it, you really had the feeling the peeps were flying through the trees like birds. It looked absolutely fantastic.

[GiveTM_a_chance]

Another excellent park in the forums. I love were you have put the Merry-Go-round, Sevey, and all the rides seem the typical of a fair. The wooden coasters seem very good. As the people have said the food court is better if its covered. Also a 4 to you, you have a very good park there, Im waiting more screens of your park soon. I will add your park to my signature, you can also add mine to yours if you want.
Keep up with the good work.
:D

[tikitiki]

I gave it a 5/5 :) Also statisticly for all you coaster desiners out their, if you put scenery nearer to rides such as a tree right next to a track while slowing down a little gives the impression that you are speeding up and it will also improve rating while not bringing up nasusia and internsity rating!
Hope this helped

Cheers Tikitiki

BTW all of you suckers at putting together videos just send em to me over aim(look at my profile) and ill peice together and put it up on the web and believe me you'll be impressed, i hope. LOL

[tikitiki]

Edit also you might get your signature edited as you can only make your sig 6 lines long.

Ok. I was really busy the past few days with the park and other, real world activities. I have updated the front page with new percents. As you will see, I have been working hard on Silverado. I will get some screens up as soon as possible, but tyvoon3d.tk is down right now, and I can't remember the address for Photoshack.

Cool! Can't wait to see Silverado!:)

[sevey13]

Here are some pictures. Quite a few, actually.

This one is a birds-eye view of the Mine Coaster called Mine Tours, before theming or anything is done to it.

http://img99.exs.cx/img99/3270/mint_tour_overview.jpg

This one is a perspective view of Mine Tour, after scenery and sculpting has happened.

http://img99.exs.cx/img99/4797/mine_tour_perspective.jpg

This is one of the entrance buildings for Mine Tours. One of them, in the foreground on the left, is a sherrifs office, with a soldier and cannon on top, who is fighting the bandits situated above the bank, the larger building, which houses a large part of the station. Proud of this one.

This is a look at Silverado Station. As you can tell, Transcontinental Railroad has been put back into the park. The Monorail and the Railroad both have their stations inside this building. Another one I am proud of.

Finaly, an overview of Silverado. One thing not pictured is the Haunted Sawmill, which is in the park (though I am not happy with it at all), right next to the station. I may decide to axe the "Haunted" aspect of the mill and turn it into a different themed logflume. What do you think?

Ooooo... looking good! Can't wait for another update!:)

[XeroL0rbism]

You're welcome sevey. :D

[sevey13]

You better like Mine Tours. It is a pain in the arse to put all those roofing tiles up there. :(. Going to buy FRAPS right now, so I will have a vid of it up soon.

[belloman]

Cool! Can't wait for that vid:)

[tikitiki]

You could also use the in-game recorder for the vids...I think its crtl+shift+f11...I think

Cheers Tikitiki

[sevey13]

I am putting Chanelwood on hold until better the patch comes out. I have begun encountering a huge drop in FPS. Check out my current project, Bond: The Ride.

[tikitiki]

darn...maybe you are experiencing the memory leak...atleast it shouldn't be to long until the patch comes out...probably within he next couple days. In the mean time if the fps problem isn't to bad maybe you can record some movies or take a whole bunch of pics. If you need a movie cropper send it to me and ill get it cropped. BTW i can also use it for pics

Dude, how come you don't offer this for others in the forums :-P

[sevey13]

Don't worry about movie editing. I have used a professional program for the past 3 years. In fact, "Mobley Vision" is the name I have come up with for my Video production company. I have some screens for "Bond: The Ride," and a video, too, but Nick's site isn't up. I am going to try and uploasd it somewhere else right now.

[tikitiki]

Bump...Anything new?

[PDohm123]

Doesn't seem like it.

[belloman]

hmm... nothing new.... I'll wait for new things....

Anyways, construction has started on Six Flags Grand Canyon! 2 Sets of screenshots are posted!!

[sevey13]

I am sorry for not updating for so long. I have worked on the park a little more, but I have come to realize that the park size itself is actually to big for the rides, meaning that everything is way to spread out. I am going to start over on a smaller park, still with all the rides, but in a smaller park size.

[belloman]

ok... I hope Six Flags Grand Canyon isn't too spread out... I doubt it though.

sevey13- check your pm box

[sevey13]

While you are waiting for the new park to be worked on, check out my current project; Bond: The Ride.

http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=436186

[sevey13]

I will start working on this as soon as I finish Bond, and, as you may be able to tell from the front page, I'm startin' ovah!

[sevey13]

Here I go again. I promise a bigger and better park!

[tikitiki]

how come you have to start over!
ohh well

Cheers Tikitiki

[sevey13]

The new park is already 200% better. I added a parking lot, an entrance building, the park is smaller (a good thing), a bus station next to the new interstate highway, there are TONS of buildings in the new "State Fair," which has an overall better look. State Fair is complete, by the way. I am in the final process of finishing the Crossroads Monorail Station. I will try to post some screens tommorow. Merry Christmas!

[tikitiki]

YAY!

[sevey13]

As you may of heard, I have trashed the old Chanelwood Park in order to start over. The old one didn't really work as well as I had hoped. So, construction has begun again. The park colors are Blue and Gold, as shown in the main entrance, and other parts of the park as well.

Here is the park so far.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/park_overall.jpg

This is the Chanelwood Bus Stop, the building the peeps get "inserted" into the game.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/bus_overall.jpg

This is looking out of the Bus Stop into the Park Parking Lot, with the entrance and State Fair in the distance.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/bus_looking_out.jpg

Peeps who have decided to park in one of the four parking lots have the option to take a park tram to the entrance. The two Main Entrance Tram stations are pictured here, as well as a nice shot of the entrance.

Another shot of the entrance, this time with State Fair in the background.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/enter_with_sf.jpg

Now for a picture tour of State Fair. Here is a shot of State Fair, including the entrance.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/sf_overview.jpg

This is a shot looking down the path from the entrance towards The Crossroads, which can be seen in the distance.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/look_down_road.jpg

This is the building that houses the entrances to the two roller coasters, Beastie and The Streak.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/Coaster_building_ext.jpg

And here is the inside of that building.

Here is the Chairswing.

More pictures below.

[sevey13]

Here is the Food Court.

And a shot of the inside of the court looking trough one of its windows.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/food_window.jpg

Wouldn't you know it! There is a lake inside the food court as well.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/int_lake.jpg

Here is the building that houses the Enterprise...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/enterprise_build.jpg

...which is shown here.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/enterprise_int.jpg

And finaly, the Merry-Go-Round building, which has been transplanted from the old park to the new one, with a few changes.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/Sevey13/go_round_building.jpg

I hope you have enjoyed the photos above. I am in the middle of working on Crossroads, which should be done soon. Any comments? Questions?

[Milkdud]

I really liked the merry-go-round building and the entrance to the chair swing.

[belloman]

Cool! Looking good! Can't wait for more!

belloman

[SnootyVincent]

Great Job :up: :up:


btw may i ask your pc specs?No reason its just you might want to consider doing the park in portions because of the fps issue.:cry:
Unless the patch helps alot.

[sevey13]

My PC is only 2 1/2 years old

[SnootyVincent]

that's a relief:D :up:

[sevey13]

Nothing new right now. Any comments on the pictures above?

[PDohm123]

The park looks great. I love how you've built buildings around all the queue lines. And I love the food court idea. The new park looks really great.

Does anyone have any idea when the new patch will be coming out? I thought it was supposed to be out by Christmas?

[tikitiki]

Great job so far!! btw the patch will come out the week of the 3rd

Cheers Tikitiki

[sevey13]

Good!

[Simbolism]

The park is looking good, Sevey

Thanks for all the screens. The Merry-Go-Round building is my favorite of all the buildings.

[sevey13]

Thanks, Simbolism. I wasn't gonna say anything, but do you realize that there is another Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 builder out here living in Seattle?

[belloman]

I have a question- How do you not have the little white and blue ovals in the top right corner? You know, the ones thatsay "set up inventions" "set park land" and "save scenarino" just to name a few?

It looks great and I can't wait for more screenshots!

Have a great day (or night)
belloman

[sevey13]

I save the scenario, then open it in the actuall game.

[Simbolism]

Nice job on the monorail station, sevey. Like the glass wall. Keep it up!

[sevey13]

It is quite frustrating when only 2 people look at all the work that you have put into a project.

[wickedfan07]

I just found this thread and I think your park looks awesome. I think planning a park out is a good idea and your plans are really coming to life in the screenshots. :up: :up: 2 thumbs up
I'll be watching this thread for updates.:)

[sevey13]

Thanks.

I have been thinking of ways to increase traffic to this thread. One idea:

All those very, very kind people who have added my park to their signatures, I have a new slogan. If you would please take a few seconds to change yours, I would really appreciate it.

"Chanelwood: Reborn. Come see the NEW side of adventure."

Another thing I am going to do is put aside Chanelwood for a little while. I now announce the start of construction for Hogwarts, Mobley Vision's newest theme park creation. Look for its thread soon!

[Srorrim]

Your park looks good. After enclosing 4 different coasters myself in my park (Soon to be announced -- Watch for the Hades Park topic), I can really appreciate the amount of trouble you went to to enclose what you have. I noticed last night while encasing a coaster in glass to protect it from the water, that a lot of glass walls at their default setting can really lower FPS. Fireworks shows also lower FPS during Coaster Cam if the show comes into view. I found the best response on FPS with a lot of glass walls is to color all three parts the same color (so far white or light blue seems to work best). By the way, Hades is all Spooky themed and only open at night.

[belloman]

I'll wait for Chanelwood to be started again.
I'll add Hogwarts to my sig!

belloman

[suessical123]

what happen to all the updates

[skacoaster]

yeah, what's with the slacking? Is there going to be a channelwood for download at some point?

I wasn't gonna say anything, but do you realize that there is another Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 builder out here living in Seattle?

Ha ha! I'm in Tacoma, amazing.

[PDohm123]

Well, since there seems to be a lack on interest, he probably just stopped bothering all together.

[BoRJoYZeE]

too bad I was looking forward to it.

[PDohm123]

Honestly, I don't know why you guys put so much emphasis on what people post in your threads.

WHO THE BLOODY HELL CARES?! You bought this game for fun, not to see how many people you could get interested in a park you built. We're doing this to enjoy ourselves. And just because no one posts, doesn't mean there isn't any interest. It just means people are too dumbfounded to say anything.

We should all continue working on our parks, and posting them for download. If people download them, great. If not, oh well, their loss, not ours.

Don't let all these projects die because you feel no one's interested. Do it for yourself, not for others.
