Good Day everyone,

Announcing the first in a chain of parks, South Metro Studios California.

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc1.jpg

The entrance plaza is very festive and colorful

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc2.jpg

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc3.jpg

Entering the park it is obvious that there is a lot yet to do but the retail and concession area is starting to take shape

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc4.jpg

Our boardwalk is well under way

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc5.jpg

Some of the rides have been installed and await theming and shops

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc6.jpg

Paddle steamers will transport guests on the lake

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc7.jpg

Our first coaster awaits launch inside the professor's power generator. Trains leave the station and pause inside the generator to be launched up the hill

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc8.jpg

Another view of the square with the coaster in the background

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc9.jpg

The plan is to use unique theming to give the park a distinct character. Still under construction this coaster is themed on a scientist’s libratory

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc10.jpg

Nighttime and we will have to wait for more progress later.

Thanks for your time!

Nice! Very nice. The building with the tower, a little bit to 'plastic'.

[skippytim]

I love the idea of a generator waiting room, I was planning a realistic coaster, might use that idea.

I always love a fresh park by a fresh member, I love the coaster, and I personally like the building Rct3Mania posted above. I hope this turns out well.

Nice use of Steelworx for your coaster, oh, and, what pack is that stuff you used for the coaster station in?

Oh yea, and on the first pic, See where the big window is above where the guests walk under?
Replace it with a park logo since you have wild. If you need one made I have a request topic in General RCT3 Chat ;)

[Rct3Mania]

The station of the coaster is under construction, i know?

[skippytim]

i know? is an incomplete sentence, and I dont speak the language that uses i know? in a sentence so could you please refrase that.

Im glad to hear that, that coaster deserves a pretty entrance but still whered you get the scenry?

[Willyfan2bibi]

Excellent beginnig! Can't wait to see more! Keep on like this!:up:

[Rct3Mania]

Lol, i'm Dutch. My english is not so good at all.

[SMS_parks]

Nice! Very nice. The building with the tower, a little bit to 'plastic'.
It's not plastic its stucco and I think Shyguy did a nice job on the textures so it looks pretty stucco to me.

Skippytim: I am not a fresh member exactly, just one in disguise, sort of... Feel free if you want to use the idea or anything similar. The way it works is there is a launched lift hill but prior to the launch section is a small chain lift then you strategically place block breaks on the track and set the block option on the coaster properties and the trains will wait on the chain lift until the previous train hits the first block break on the track. You could get the same effect with a block break before your lift hill if you wanted the trains to stop on a level track I just like the drama of stopping just at the start of the hill.

The park logo idea on the entrance I may do that when I take the time to create a logo. I just wanted to get some of the plans on paper actually in RCT3 before I spent time on little things.

The scenery on the coaster is in steelworks, Klinn's framework's Marmetmar's Egypt theme, Jcat's screamworx and Klinn's Electroshock set. The only steelworx I have placed so far is the lift hill there is a lot left to do which is why I have not shown the entire thing yet.

Thank you for your comments!

I'm intrigued by this park, I'm not exactly a huge fan of any one bit of it, but it's very interesting...I think that it could use a little less color for the flooring and either use a simple pattern or go crazy with the tiles, 'cause it looks weird at the boardwalk with little geometric patterns. However, the building that was referred to as "plastic," does indeed look a little "plastic-y," and I think it's because you only used posts and beams on the tower and bay entrance, try adding minute amounts of beams and posts to make it look more supported and less like "plastic."

It's nice to see a new member with a new park, and you should definitely have a park logo...if you don't have one, I can make one...I have the time. [Send me a PM if you want me to give it a go]

[weasel497]

Very nice!!! I love this! Bravo on a wonderful start!

I'm going to california in a month, can I visit this park when I go? lol

[g654]

Pretty Good!! Unlike everyone else, I really like the building with the tower. It looks awesome with the posts as designs. I like your concept of the boardwalk, but it looks abit too curvy, don't you think? Oh, you also forgot to raise a wall of the boardwalk at about the Tea Cups ride. Anyways, it is a good start, and tone down the entrance a bit, please? ;)

[larry241]

I like the building with the tower too! It's very - Californian. And you're right, it's stucco :)
The entry does seem a little...bright.
Keep up the good work!

[TopxXThrill]

this is really good, your very talented

[aennilQ]

Looks really great.. your launch too.. But I love the tower.. The first thing I thought was- Comic Book! it looked so cool and stylized, with the thick black lines.

[SMS_parks]

Hello again,

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc11.jpg

The main building in the shop area of the entrance is complete. This was a rather complex building so I am happy to get it done first and out of the way. The building is supposed to have a kind of mission style feel very San Diego if you have ever been there that is why I don't want to add a lot of timbers, it is not an alpine structure it is a mission style building. That being said I did add a few bells and whistles that still fit the style.


http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc12.jpg

The smaller annex building is actually the entrance to the monorail and it contains three custom stalls.


http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc13.jpg

Another look at the station area




OK so on to the controversial entrance plaza...

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc20.jpg

I can't put a billboard with the park logo in the center where the window is as that is actually centered over two tiles to line up with the torch. A 1x2 billboard would stick out of the roof and look pretty bad. I compromised by placing logos on either side of the ticket booths.


http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc14.jpg

It seems most people don't care for the colors at the entrance. I don't even want to consider changing it however. Think about the word Fiesta. That is what I was thinking of in designing this entrance. A dance, a fair, a street celebration with lots of color and a mariachi band...

[weasel497]

Personally, I like the colors at the entrance! And I love the entrance buildings, I don't see why people don't like it...:bulb:

[rctmaniac]

Nice! Very nice. The building with the tower, a little bit to 'plastic'.
which set is that????
anyway great start nice use of cooks trackbeds

[Uries]

I like the entrance, but I don't like the sultan's palace walls on the side lol.

[PTSS]

Holy Crap! This is your first park? NO WAY! That's unreal!

I absolutely love that building with the tower, the architecture is perfect! As Uries said, those sultan walls along the entrance have to go, but other than that, it's absolutely brilliant!

[Soda Jerk 205]

This is absolutly amazing, the style of your work is outstanding. excelent use of scenery and how you mix them together is great

[SMS_parks]

Holy Crap! This is your first park? NO WAY! That's unreal!

You are correct it is not the first park it is the 25th if you count scenarios.

[n747]

Wow, this looks like the Disney's California Adventure that never was...
lets just hope yours doesnt suffer the same fate.

Excellent work man - i will be keeping a very close watch on this!

[skippytim]

You just inspired me to make another park. GJ!

[robo268]

This is truly amazing very detailed and kind of disneyish. I love the monorail station

[SMS_parks]

Progress will regretably be somewhat slow for various technical reasons but it progress is progress none the less.

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc21.jpg

Small design changes to the boardwalk

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc22.jpg

Small changes to the coaster

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc23.jpg

A new coaster to frame the boardwalk...

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc24.jpg

Still not sure about how this all looks.

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc25.jpg

And an original painting... yes that is original as in original from the design department...

[shyguy]

So far, I'd say this is a great start to your park. I very much like the festive colors in the scenery and sidewalks. Good luck on this and I'll be definately keeping an eye on this one.

[dougbarkermrf]

wow! i love all of the colors! it's looking great! honestly though, im not a fan of that wooden coaster... the colors look a bit strange and i've never eally been a fan of the "slope-steeper slope-slope-slope-straight" combination for drops... hope that made sense... i still think this is a great park though!

[skippytim]

Looks great! Great use of trackbeds!

[cowboys]

your buildings are amaizng!!!!!

[Matandmel05]

Are the curved walls that people are using a custom scenery thing or are they in Wild!?

[Tivoli]

Loving all the colors

Almost reminds me of Circle Vision's "Soledad Sands"

[SMS_parks]

Progress continues on South Metro California

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc26.jpg

Progress continues on the themed areas and over at the port we are working on another themed attraction code named Disaster Area. The ride gives some nice nighttime perspectives on the laser and firework show.

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc27.jpg

The ride is a combination of indoor themed areas and outdoor track.

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc28.jpg

A lot of attention to detail is going into South Metro's first theme park. We have plans for a total of 4 parks to begin with each one will be slightly different with different rides and attractions.

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc29.jpg

an interior look at Disaster Area, police respond to a fire in the city.

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/rct/smsc/smsc30.jpg

The park has to look as good as possible and make money in the game so a lot of time is going into each ride to get good coaster ratings and a lot of planning went into how the park would be layed out. It is a bit of a departure from how I have done things in past projects but this park was not going to be another amusement park with some themes it was to be a theme park first.

I am flattered that it reminds anyone of anythign CircleVision has done no one has ever said that about a park I posted before.

Matadmel05: Those curved walls are custom scenery called trackbeds

[Chickenselects]

This is amazing for your first park, I love it. Those new pics make me feel dizzy amd I like it though. Great job with this and best of luck.

:Edit:
Oh, youre first park in the chain...d'oh

[Galaxylander]

This is amazing for your first park, I love it. Those new pics make me feel dizzy amd I like it though. Great job with this and best of luck.
He already said this is like his 25'th park. But I do agree, its absolutely amazing anyway.

[Sawyer]

Looks a nice little park so far = ) !! i love how you used trackbeds.

You can set it in the graphic options under custom settings.
High quality also has it if your graphics card can handle it.

I hope you all enjoy the photos. Keep in mind this is one of four parks and will be finished and if people are interested there will be a download. SMS California is probably about 70% complete at this time. This takes time I hope you will find it worth the wait.

There will also be a park in Georgia or Carolina, Virginia or possibly New Jersey, And one somewhere in the Great White North eh...

[Usf geek]

This one Im really liking!

Good stuff!

[Obi_Wan_Cannoli]

Wow!

[ziggles]

I cannot agree with what most people say. I myself lived in California, and I have seen these sort of entrances, not only to amusement parks, but to buildings, especially in Los Angeles and some in San Francisco.

You can't please everyone, so if you like it, just leave it. I for one like the designs and color scheme. :up:

http://www.foxsystems.com/images/RCT/SMSC/smsc71.jpg

Here it is so far. I am hitting that slow point where all the ideas I had pre-planned are pretty much complete and I have to fill in the leftover areas. I am also hitting that point where I start to melt the graphics card so it gets slower, a lot more saving.

Speaking of the card it is an nVidia Go 6800 mobile 256mb graphics card. It does pretty well, gets too hot, the newer Sli cards are better.

[LightGrenades]

Wow, bump an old topic much? This thread is at least 6 months old without a reply smart one.

[Real-Nemesis]

It doesn't matter as Necrothreadia isn't a disease that affects the exchange forums (must have had anoculations to protect it or something)

[mike2084]

sms why dont u start on it again

[mike2084]

why did people stop commenting on this park it looked great

[LightGrenades]

It doesn't matter as Necrothreadia isn't a disease that affects the exchange forums (must have had anoculations to protect it or something)


Necrothredia strikes this part of the forum regularly. Although the 30 day rule isn't a rule per say, it is a common annoyance to parks in the work to get bumped off the first page.

[SMS_parks]

Necrothredia strikes this part of the forum regularly. Although the 30 day rule isn't a rule per say, it is a common annoyance to parks in the work to get bumped off the first page.

I stopped updating this because the last update was literally shoved off the first page in about two hours from new comers wanting to show off their parking lots and users wanting to fill up some threads with their personal gripes about the habits of other users.

I figure if that is what people want to do here then that is what they should get. I stopped begging for replies. If no one cares to even post an "I hate it" or a "Nice Job" comment then I won't update my threads.

If you believe airing your private dislikes about the forum is a good use for other people's park threads then maybe you don't deserve updates.

There is a general discussion forum if you feel a need to complain about others here. By doing this in my park thread you push someone else down the board after all and for what? It’s less relevant than the post you are complaining about.

[Rollerman87]

Interesting little park.

[LightGrenades]

If you believe airing your private dislikes about the forum is a good use for other people's park threads then maybe you don't deserve updates.

No. its not like it has been a week, 2, 3, or even 4 weeks since the last update. It was Six months. For some odd reason, no one replied since October, I usually go past the second and third page, but I guess people didn't want to comment on this for some reason or other. I know, the same thing happened to me with a park I was doing, because of something along the lines, and it has been something that has annoyed me, and many other people. Sorry to see that a great park got bumped off the first page, and its been just now that you get a reply on it, but theres one point there, where whether or not you double posted, you could have said that you were no longer working on it, or to post an update. At one point, people wouldn't care that you double posted, because at least the park has/had substance, rather than something that was totally noobish.

And if you're going to be an A** about it, then maybe you don't deserve replies.

Just something to think about.

[SMS_parks]

I see,

So if I point out that I would prefer you not use my park thread as a gripe forum I am the jerk?

I don't double post, I have done that in the past but I no longer will because that is a real rule unlike the phantom one you are filling up my thread with.

[LightGrenades]

No. It was the way you came across.

Although the 30 day rule isn't a rule per say

No kidding, I didn't even say it was a rule.



On topic, is there any real chance of you continuing with this? Or is this completely dead?

[SMS_parks]

The park was nearly complete when I stopped updating the thread.

You should finish it. I followed it until is disapeared off the front page.

[paxmac]

Now that you are back in the spotlight, some compliments.
Your lighting choices are sharp and colourful-well done!
I have been following your Great White North park, but your work on this park tells me that there are great things to come. I'm looking forward to them.
You have great imagination that should be encouraged.

[deaconnor]

This is a very good park. This is the first time I saw it.

[LightGrenades]

Any tips on the great lighting you have done? I always have trouble with lighting.

Looks great!

[deaconnor]

I have real trouble with building buildings.

[LightGrenades]

Ditto. But experience is helping me. Old Spice makes some really good Buildings IMO

[skippytim]

It's DITTO and yea Lighting can be a pain in the arse.

[spinme35]

wow this park is very nice in color and enviroment!

[Real-Nemesis]

It's DITTO and yea Lighting can be a pain in the arse.

Tell me about it, I broke three bulbs trying to fix my desk lamp last night..... But in the instance for RCT3, then yes it is a pain in the backside.

[LightGrenades]

It's DITTO and yea Lighting can be a pain in the arse.


Thank you SIR :rolleyes:

I try to place the spotlights at least one tile from what I want to illuminate.

I will do the same thing for the Paradrop but since it is tall I use Vodhin's very high spots and place them two tiles away

I tend to stay with color schemes I pick off a color wheel, I am using reds and blue shades on this coaster. The result is blues and shades of purple.

Really nice park. Like the way you used the track beds and like the wooden coaster though the colors are a bit strange. :up:

Tell me about it, I broke three bulbs trying to fix my desk lamp last night..... But in the instance for RCT3, then yes it is a pain in the backside.

Well; my dad's kind of an electrician so I really don't run into those problems.

Thank you SIR :rolleyes:

Your welcome mam. :haha:
