nice gives the busch garden feel

wow. Its been a while since we have seen a project from you. And this is a great way to start!

Great use of scenery. Im lovin this park already.

The red coaster looks cool too :)

I'll admit it has been awhile since I've posted (mostly due to my job at Cedar Point). Now that we are in HalloWeekends, I plan on frequent updates to this one. Keep an eye out.

And that "red coaster" you mentioned will be debuted shortly. Announcements are being mailed to the media this week.

There are plenty of surprises around the corner!

[Obi_Wan_Cannoli]

wow! i really really like what you've done so far. You definatley have captured the Busch feel. I love this park so far, and continue on!

[ytivarg]

I especially like the signage for Mali. ;)

[larry241]

Great job! I love Kihara. Great realistic track. And the picnic area looks great too. I like the use of the trackbeds for defining the spaces.
Show us more!

[Kennywoodfanboy]

Wow. Looks very Busch Gardeny..:) Dive Machines are being built in a lot more Rct3 parks now. I even built one in mine. Great park. I will be following it.

[-MoNtU]

Actually I like it a lot.. it has a very nice atmosphere.. But my only complaint is why would Busch build another African themed park? Why don't you try a new continent, like South America or Asia. I actually could see this being South American/Central American themed.. all you would have to do is change the names..

[birou006]

^agreed. I think a central/south american theme could be really interesting. you could have the park kind of rusty or old looking. it could look really really cool.:D

[awesomo3000]

yeh or even a theme like a woods up north type of thing

[larry241]

Oh yeah! You could have a Mayan city, Inca, Andean Mountains, you could use the black panther enclosure, some of the animal exhibits, a Brazilian rainforest exhibit. Darn, why didn't I think of that?
Good luck!!!

[zinc_saucier]

I like it, but 2 BGAs?

[-MoNtU]

Darn, why didn't I think of that?
Good luck!!!

I guess i just have better ideas. :p

[Computer Geek]

whats that red coaster???

[MDEKing]

I like it a lot. Agreed with the comments about there already being a BGA though.

[Albert Caine]

I think it's OK for another Africa as long as it dosent resemble Tampa I'm alright with it being Africa.

[ytivarg]

Everyone's okay with a Disneyland and a Disneyworld in California and Florida... but two African themed Busch Gardens is completely out of the question?!?

I don't see the logic.

[cp_diva]

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. I really want to continue forward in this direction. The "additional" Busch Gardens African-themed park is based off of the success of the Tampa Bay version. I drew alot of inspiration from that park and wanted to give my twist to it, without attempting a complete recreation of the original. Take it for what its worth, but Busch Gardens African Adventure is what I envision a true theme park as being. Many surprises as well as the commonalities we have all come to know and love.

More updates soon to follow!

[jec8992]

This theme park looks awesome!!!Nice Dive Coaster looks just as fun as Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay...

[themeparkdude]

Looks cool. I like these sort of parks.

[East_Aer82]

I'm loving the Kihara sign. Magnificent!

[larry241]

Just awesome. Very realistic, perfect supports. Love the queue line structures too.
Love it!!!!!

[-MoNtU]

I like it.. it's nice.. But the track for the splash down area is way to high.. lower the track so it actually looks like a splash down.

[zinc_saucier]

Everyone's okay with a Disneyland and a Disneyworld in California and Florida... but two African themed Busch Gardens is completely out of the question?!?

I don't see the logic.



The logic is that Disneyworld is a completly different style of park than a Busch Gardens park. Everyone wants to ride 'Space Mountain' and 'Its a small world,' because theyre famous rides and familys dont want to go to only 1 disneyworld to ride them

You know... i kinda forgot where i was going with this, but maybe someone can finish my explaination for me. :rolleyes:

This park is really taking shape, except the Splash Down doesn't look right and the rocks are way out of place, it looks like they said "Hey, let's put rocks here" and didn't put them anywhere else, try to make them blend in.

[Kennywoodfanboy]

Looks great! I really like the way Kihira turned out! It looks very real. One question though, how did you get the water jets on Kihira's splashdown?

[Cyberleader]

ooo! Excellent work! :up:

I don't see how bringing up my old park made any sort of point?!? :confused:

I'm saying.. I don't see where everyone gets off saying "Oh, you can't POSSIBLY make another african themed BG park.. there's already one in Tampa!" If it's what someone wants to create, so be it... who are any of us to say "No, don't build that!"?

[-NGS-]

I suppose this debate between duplicate parks depends on the location of the park. Disney made Disneyworld largely for people on the east coast who didn't want to travel all the way out to California. Now, if his park is somewhere in Texas, then it's a pointless duplicate, but if its in, say Washington or California, or somewhere out west, then it makes sense.

Oh, I'm sorry. What I thought you were saying was that it was out of the question to build another BG Africa park...sorry about that, misunderstanding.

nube

That was the most worthless reply imaginable...and not to mention, it's out of sheer jealousy. I've seen your parks...so I won't go there.

And I must say, as I said before, Kahira looks quite nice with the layout, but the splashdown and rock area seem very clashy with the rest of the terrain.

[cp_diva]

If you are referring to me as a "nube" then I take offense to that. I have clearly been a member of these forums since January 2005 and although my posts are numbering in half of yours, I also have a full-time job I am devoted to. Working at Cedar Point during the summer does not provide with nearly as much time as what I would have liked to put into this park, but I have been sitting on it for quite some time. I accept constructive criticism and as such have already taken steps to fill Kihara's "splashdown pond" and even out the rocks as suggested by members of the forum. Thank you for their comments.

...One question though, how did you get the water jets on Kihira's splashdown?

Those are simply fireworks placed and directed at key points under the ride structure. A great deal of time, effort and patience went into timing them up for each train.

More to come soon!

[Albert Caine]

Great work I cant wait to see more and you beat me I wanted to make an African BG thats not BGA but I also wanted to build a disneyland style park an Epcot style park a SeaWorld a Universal park and you get the point theres alot of parks I wanna build but just never get to. Good luck with this.

@rct33freak how do you mis-spell n00b? Hes been on here longer than you and his park is very nice.

Wooh, it's .. real! I have never seen a coaster that is so realistic like this! Well done.

[poekie1337]

that's totally awsome, especial those supports under the lift with the over banked turn in it. the lay-out looks really realistic, I like it.
quality:up:

[larry241]

AWESOME!!!!! Love the inverted overbank. Perfect colors too.
So where's the one of a kind waterfall?

[Albert Caine]

I cant take it anymore your work has made me build an African BG. I probably wont post it on the forums. Great park, who cares if Tampa has an african theme. This is completely different and I love the names and colors of the rides. Where do get the names from?

[live_the_thrill]

Simply breathtaking, a worthy 5 stars is deserved. One thing that looks a little odd to me is it’s supports on the lift, maybe use more narrower ones, like the ones found on Goliath (SFOG)

[KillerTimster]

where did u get slammer

[RCTfan#1]

sooooooooooooooo cool

[ziggles]

wow i love those supports

[Soda Jerk 205]

oh wow. That looks great. Not only are you good at game, but those pictures are great. The angles make it look huge! The layout looks like loads of fun.

I cant wait to see what is next

[mikeyca]

That is one VERY pretty piece of work! But I think I missed what the one-of-a-kind waterfall feature was...

[Kennywoodfanboy]

That looks soo realistic, I'm speechless. For some reason the coaster really catches my eye. Great job! Can't wait for more:)

Very very nice! Kihara is funny though, it's finnish for curl (like curly hair), while Kasi is finnish for number 8 :D

Just an update for everyone:

Internet started working randomly today, so updates will be coming for everyone that requested. Thank you to everyone for your comments. It is very much appreciated.

Kihara's Promo Video was finished this past week and will be posted shortly in both a high-quality and medium-quality version. Work on Kasi is progressing quickly, so expect to see that soon.

Once again, thanks!

[Obi_Wan_Cannoli]

SWEET!!! can you please put it on a streaming site? like youtube?

[cp_diva]

Well, I am a little behind on where I would like to be. I have been feverishly working on the Kasi video trying to get everything finished before my trip. If I decide to pull an all-nighter tonight, there is a good chance that it will be up this week.

As for YouTube...I'll look into it! Maybe I'll even encode it into the Atari boards.

As promised, Kihara's promo video is finished and ready for download. Currently, only the high-quality version is available.

Kihara Feature Video (High Quality) ~63 MB (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U5YCZR0M)

Work on Kasi's promo video is progressing and should be available soon (later than expected).

Thanks to everyone for your support!

[ytivarg]

:up: Looks like your video skills are improving

[cp_diva]

Just an update that I added a low-quality version of Kihara's Promo Video (~10 MB).

I've got the week off, so more updates coming!

[Sno]

I love it! Can't wait for the Kasi POV!

[DanishDude]

Awesome! Your park is amazing, and i love it! As i can see, you got great video skills, and i was completely stunned of the video, and nice music choice! It fit perfectly even though i expected an african song first, but i actually liked the song more! Great job :up:

Between what song did you use for the video of Kihara, and how do you get the "fly view" you use at the 0-G-Roll on RCT3?

[cp_diva]

Thanks for the comments so far!

The song for Kihara's Promo Video is "Kiss the Sky (Mike Rizzo Global Club Mix)". It was a tough sell to not use an "African-sounding" song, but I feel that the overall tempo of the ride needed something a little more intense for lack of better words.

Not sure which shot you're talking about, but the "fly view" is just an on-board POV with the camera situated in a different location.

[Albert Caine]

Great ride.

[DanishDude]

Like in the video, when you zoom in and out on the little airtime hill at the end... How you do that, because it doesnt seem like somethng you can do with the normal 3D function, because it moves so smooth..

[larry241]

OMG - that's an awesome video! I think the music was pretty good. Great editing too. Love the mix of views and rotations.
Just awesome!

[cricket50]

Kihara has roughly the same layout as shiekra. I do love that ride so rbing on the coasters and great work.

[cp_diva]

I like to take the "best" parts of my favorite rides and add my own personal touch. Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!

[Crowheart]

Nice video, very well done!

Well, I felt that it was time to bring back the park (albeit much work has been going on since the last update). Many new and exciting rides have been finished and crews are putting the finishing touches on everything around the park. A couple teaser shots till video time...

Yes!!!!!! I loved this park.
I'm so glad your bringing it back. Love the overhead. Quite a well laid out park. The water features are nice and the coasters do a great job of defining the boundaries.
I want more shots!!!!
Thanks again for sharing.

[cp_diva]

Thanks for the comments guys!

I've run into a bump though. Finding just the right music to showcase Kasi has really slowed things down. Once I find it, it's on. For now, I'll just get my pictures and keep working on it.

[spinme35]

AMAZING PARK!!! i really like its realism and landscaping all through out the are! anyways how big is the lag and what video card do you use?

[Elf2007]

WOW! Im jealouse! This is very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D :D :up: :up: :up: :up: GREAT ***** <--5 STARTS

[cp_diva]

I don't really notice any lag in-game with the exception of loading the park, transitioning from day to night, and bumping all of my settings up for videos and pictures. For normal operation though, things run smoothly (which is surprising for the detail level on the building and rides).

I'm running a stock Radeon X300 built with my computer. Nothing fancy, but the 3 gigs of memory I have in could be helping that!

Glad you like it!

[LightGrenades]

I love those overview shots. Everything seems to fit perfectly. Great Job!

[rctman12]

WOW!!!!!!!!! I love this. Im not a very big fan of Busch Garden parks, but you really have captured me. Well done. I cannot wait to see more. I also love the entrance. Very cool. Great job!!! I would love to see more.

Don't know where to begin except congrats on finishing the park. And from the over heads, it looks incredibly realistic.

[Loqo]

This is one of the most realistic parks i have ever seen! Kasi and Kihara just look amazing and i cant wait for a POV. But can i ask.. how did you do the "Busch Gardens, African Adventure" logo?

[RCT3Richie]

Amazing, and that overview is breathtaking

[BurgerQueen]

Wow this looks absolutely amazing. :up:

[Elf2007]

You know, there's just one thing that keeps bothering me.

It's the background for the park. The Mountains with the Fall-type trees and the snow don't really go with that whole Africa theme. I think the city background or island background would make it look better.

Oh!! I have one question: How did you do the street? Like how did you do those curved lines, and the curved turns?

[. Style .]

Nice to see this one back. I absolutely love the entrance plaza, the floor seems to make a nice effect.

[RCTfan#1]

I love it!

[Soda Jerk 205]

Spectacular. Congrats on finishing the park, well it looks finished. I love all the colors, they work great together. The park layout is excellent. You really have captured the Busch Gardens feel.

5 Stars.

PS. How big is this park?

[gamemast75]

I missed this park! Now, this is a Truely Amazing RCT3 park! I can't wait to see what you've been working on recently. The park looks amazing! Looking forward to the next update very anxiously.

So... when we gonna see that Kasi video? :D

[cp_diva]

Wow, I haven't had time to comment back on everyone. Lots of work is going on with the Marketing Department and our insider tells us that the video for Kasi should be out shortly. Also for those that missed it, the Kihara video will be re-released.

Busch Gardens appreciates everyones comments. Until the next update...

I love those overview shots. Everything seems to fit perfectly. Great Job!

Thanks. I'm also a fan of wide sweeping views, and this park just begs to show them off.

OMG i think i need a weeks work of new under wear!

A little too much information, but I'm glad you enjoy it!

This park looks great. I love the way the layout seems to flow perfectly around. Good to see a great park return to the forums!

You should see the peeps reaction to the park. They're giddy with joy! The park never left...management just got really strict on releasing information.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I love this. Im not a very big fan of Busch Garden parks, but you really have captured me. Well done. I cannot wait to see more. I also love the entrance. Very cool. Great job!!! I would love to see more.

More is coming...thanks!

Don't know where to begin except congrats on finishing the park. And from the over heads, it looks incredibly realistic.

Thanks MoNtU - It's always refreshing to hear that, especially from you. Whatever happened to your park?

This is one of the most realistic parks i have ever seen! Kasi and Kihara just look amazing and i cant wait for a POV. But can i ask.. how did you do the "Busch Gardens, African Adventure" logo?

That was the goal - REALISM! I just realized that the POV for Kihara got deleted (darn RapidShare). I am going to repost that, as well as a little treat for everyone. The logo was a joint effort between ytivarg and I. His video skills really are top-notch.

Amazing, and that overview is breathtaking

Wait until you see them at night...

Wow this looks absolutely amazing. :up:

Thanks a lot. Any relation to DairyKing?

You know, there's just one thing that keeps bothering me.

It's the background for the park. The Mountains with the Fall-type trees and the snow don't really go with that whole Africa theme. I think the city background or island background would make it look better.

Oh!! I have one question: How did you do the street? Like how did you do those curved lines, and the curved turns?

I knew someone would catch it. You win! I realized it as soon as you posted! Since then, management has taken down the park fence mural allowing all guests unobstructed views. And wouldn't you know it, the hills are rolling...

The turns and lines are the Cook's Trackbed set. It all started in Bakari (which has not been released yet), and they just flowed so well, that the park bought more of them.

Nice to see this one back. I absolutely love the entrance plaza, the floor seems to make a nice effect.

Thanks. I'm really working hard to get this one released ASAP.

I love it!

Thanks a bunch!

Spectacular. Congrats on finishing the park, well it looks finished. I love all the colors, they work great together. The park layout is excellent. You really have captured the Busch Gardens feel.

5 Stars.

PS. How big is this park?

Yes, the park is finished. Minor touches such as paint and such are being placed. Maybe I'll put it up for download.

The park is about 115 acres (30 x 30 squares).

I missed this park! Now, this is a Truely Amazing RCT3 park! I can't wait to see what you've been working on recently. The park looks amazing! Looking forward to the next update very anxiously.

Edit: Welcome to Page 4!

I'm glad I could bring it back in a finished state. As for what's up next...that's still a mystery, but I can say that I'm upset that I deleted it the first time. Version 2.0 is always better.

[East_Aer82]

Fantastic, tremendous, absolutely stupendous... Can't wait for the videos!

~Busch Gardens African Adventure Kasi World Premiere Video~

http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8307/kasijpggt0.jpg (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CSUZ3IG8)

Busch Gardens officials are proud to announce Kasi. Billed as one of the tallest, fastest roller coasters in the world, Kasi began thrilling riders Easter weekend. Opening to great fanfare, Kasi joins Kihara as the first of the parks signature roller coaster collection.

Riders begin by ascending nearly 200 feet into the sky before plummeting down at 70 mph, encountering sweeping curves, massive turns and a never-been-done-before waterfall maneuver.

Initial accounts from the Red Cross auction riders are overwhelmingly positive and help to secure Busch Gardens rank in the thrill park industry.

Come join us now and enjoy Kasi!

Wow. Kasi is sbsolutly incredible.


The park is about 115 acres (30 x 30 squares).
ps. I dont think its 30x30. That is so small. By 115, do you mean 115x115 because that seems more reasonable.

[cp_diva]

Glad you enjoyed Kasi...

Haha, my counting was half off. The park is actually 130 x 130 squares which comes out to roughly 40 acres of total land. In my haste, I started counting at 0 when I hit 100, thus the missing 100 squares.

[arkangel_v6]

Wow.. very nice park.. I don't think I can't say anythign more that hasn't been said already.. I love the realism and landscaping.. plus the rides are nicely themed from what I sw. Are you done with this park yet? if so when do we get a download.

I'd also love some pictures of the main gate.. from the overview that looks really nice with the tan and brown pathways. not sure ho oyu did that but love it.

[LightGrenades]

Great Video! The ride itself was just amazing, and the editing was great too!

I don't think that I can say anything more, it's all been said!

What can I say that hasn't already been said...

This park looks great. I will add it to my collection of "inspiration" parks... :up:

[cp_diva]

Wow.. very nice park.. I don't think I can't say anythign more that hasn't been said already.. I love the realism and landscaping.. plus the rides are nicely themed from what I sw. Are you done with this park yet? if so when do we get a download.

I'd also love some pictures of the main gate.. from the overview that looks really nice with the tan and brown pathways. not sure ho oyu did that but love it.

Thanks for your comments! The park download will become available once all major rides have been showcased. Seeing as how the park is finished, now I just have to create videos for each of them. And I'm working on an extra little surprise to finish out the ceremonies.

You asked for pictures of the main gate?!? You got them...

Great Video! The ride itself was just amazing, and the editing was great too!

I don't think that I can say anything more, it's all been said!

Kasi was always meant to be a signature ride and it's placement just begs everyone to come and ride. Glad you enjoyed!

WOW! Welcome back! I've been waiting for an update for a few months... INCREDIBLE! Really loved the POV!
The Entrance area looks simple divine and realistic! I have to admit that the coaster in the middle of the park (reddish-yellowish) doesn't really give off a spark to me, but maybe once you give us a closer look the colors will look better... Are you planning on releasing this when you are done? :)

[ytivarg]

After watching (the updated version) again... I must give you a nod of congrats. Your video editing skills have improved 10-fold.. and you're really getting an eye for still photo placement. Awesome stuff here. This park deserves no less than 5 stars.

The only thing I would have changed in the video (and I didn't see it until just now, otherwise I would have told you before) is the last 'money shot' of the ride before the fade-to-black that leads us into the POV opening shot... You showcase the ride, but you neglected to show us the first hill.. Again, didn't see it till now but it is kind of robbing us of the best part of the ride!

Like I said, though.. didn't see it until now, and it's minor.. the rest of the promo is freaking fantastic. Love the drop-off ending... just leaves you with the "ugh, I wanna ride that for real" feeling. I'm glad you opted against end credits... They've become too cliche' anyways. This was the perfect way to go. :up: :up:

The Super-quality link has been disabled for the time-being. Seems that leak in the marketing department isn't all that dependable. Keep an eye out for the real version.

To everyone else, thank you for your comments. It's what really keeps the motivation going!

[EDIT]The Super-Quality link has been fixed!

[larry241]

Phenomenal video!!!! I loved the mix of music and the different types of shots. Full of action! This is such a beautiful park. I like the entry area too. Expecially the paving and how the water feature and statues serve as a center piece. Neat idea. Can't wait to see more coasters!

~Busch Gardens Announces Huss Thrill Rides Expansion~

Busch Gardens African Adventure is pleased to announce a partnership with Huss Rides in developing "major thrill ride attractions."

Karrah Wozniak, President of Huss Rides is quoted as saying "Busch Gardens African Adventure is the leader in thrill rides and we are excited to be working with them in providing the ultimate excitement for their guests."

Busch Gardens Marketing released the following photos of these new attractions thrilling their first guests.

Ultimately AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

Really, really nice vid and finally the meaning of the waterfall element. Nicely done all around.

The Kasi video has been in the works for something around 6 months (just ask Sno...), but I'm really glad that someone motivated me to get everything going and finish the park. That waterfall element was a pain to create (thanks ytivarg!), but I really think it fits in. Did you catch the hidden photo spot?!?

AWESOME! Busch Gardens should think about building this park because i would definently travel to SoCal to ride Kasi!

I would so love to work with Busch Gardens on that project! Talk about a dream job!

can u put the kasi film on youtube

I will look into that. I really tend to shy from such websites as the quality of the video due size limitations would produce a video that just doesn't look good. Thus why the Super-quality & High-quality videos are hosted on two separate services.

Phenomenal video!!!! I loved the mix of music and the different types of shots. Full of action! This is such a beautiful park. I like the entry area too. Expecially the paving and how the water feature and statues serve as a center piece. Neat idea. Can't wait to see more coasters!

From the initial conception of the video the quick-shots had to stay. It wasn't easy finding music to work around that. Usually it's the other way around. The idea for the entry area came from East Aer (you may remember his Alcatraz park?!?). With a little help, it really came out looking nice. More coasters are coming, but for now...look below.

looks great i love the entrace

Again, thanks on the entrance!

So what's next to come out of this park? Time to get Vegas going again! ;)

Like you don't already know!

Awesome! I love it so much. And Kaos actually looks like a ride you would see at the fair. Great job. I also love Shango. Very Very cool. It reminds me of...um...DEJAVU at magic mountain. Looks great though.. I cant wait for more wonderful updates like this one.

I was hoping that Chaos would get a little better treatment than a "fair" classification. But I guess that's what you get with a ride that's had its fair amount of trouble. The difference between Shango & Deja Vu is that Busch Gardens takes care of their rides. No, just kidding but really, there's only so much you can do with it. That's why I don't like cookie-cutter coasters!

[arkangel_v6]

I was actually thinking that the topple tower would be perfect in your park.

Love the new additions.. perfect theming.

[cp_diva]

I would have liked to put the topple tower in (at one point it actually had a home, however that bird on top just wasn't flowing with me. In the end, Planning & Design opted not to use it.

[ytivarg]

Karrah? Hah! Got a laugh out of that one.

I love the idea of the "Huss Giant Family" as an update.... really nice way to show off the oft-unloved side of RCT.

"Fire Lake" is what we're calling it these days? I LIKE!!! :up: :up:

Great final shot, too... love the angle and reflection on the discus... good stuff. And it's nice to see peeps enjoying this park! Is the distribution-of-guests-around-park problem been resolved?

[JayAC]

This is stunning! Wow! I don't know what to say! It's so huge and so.... incredible :up:

I love the way you've covered the wave at the back of Tsunami with rocks. Great idea.

Keep up the amazing work :eek:

[Chickenselects]

Everything is beautiful, it has that Busch Gardens feel also. Very realistic and creative.

Huge has been a two-fold. Yes it really makes the park feel real, but my patience in the lag during filming gets drained real fast. I am trying to present what everyone is asking for. I may jump around a bit, but you'll get to see everything.

I thought you would appreciate the Karrah comment ;)

What can I say, I got the Press Release from the park and just had to let everyone know.

"Fire Lake" yes...and soon everyone will see why!

To an extent. For some reason, they are just going nuts over the simple rides and occasionally making it to the big stuff. But they'll all get there.

This park is amazeing, well done!! Is there any chance of seeing some general park photos i wold realy like a closer look at the river rapeds.

I'll see if I can get you some overview shots of the park. I really wanted to hold-off on some shots until I can properly showcase that ride/area, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt. You'll get some tonight!

The river rapids will have a showcase coming soon!

[Elf2007]

Ooo! Very nice! very nice!!

One of my favorite things what that rock tunnel in last pic, under the que line for the ride.

By the way, the background looks alot better now :D :up: :up: :D

LoveTulie & Elf2007: Thanks for your comments. Glad you caught the error in my pictures. With these night shots released by park officials, Busch Gardens African Adventure has a new flare. Initial guests reports are overwhelmingly positive. Keep an eye out for more updates!

And if you haven't voted, why not? Check it out and let me know what you think.

[supercoolsuper]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Those pics and the park itself are superb. Amazing job. Is it finished? Or are you still tweaking some things and fixing it up?

[The Fonz]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, back the Busch Garden train up, you and ytivarg are room mates? I always saw a resemblance between both of your work, it all makes sense now!

Let me say this is the best park I've ever seen completed! Not only is it filled to the brim, but spread throughout is the detail you normally find in smaller/unfinished parks! I think the jungle theme is perfect for this park, you've really captured the Busch Gardens feel, which is incredibly hard.

There are a few bits n bobs which could be changed for the better, such as the "Emporium", I think it should be more imposing. It looks belittled by the towering coasters, but it could just be the angle the photo was taken out.

Other than that, 5 hard earned stars!


:up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

[-MoNtU]

First off, everything is amazing. The layout, the coasters, the ride placement, all amazing. Kasi's video was amazing, your editing powers are almost on par with gravity's! Kasi was also incredibly fun to ride and it had some awesome moments. The lighting around the park is awesome as well.

I do have a complaint, It doesn't really remind me totally of BG park. To me, it seems more like a themed Cedar Point. I just really think you could've themed some areas better. For instance, the games on the midaway looknothing llike the surrounding Country is supposed to look. The Entrance gates are phenominal, but as soon as you get inside, the theme drops to a very generic theme. I think it would've looked much better if you carried the style of the entrance gates through out the entrance area.

But ofcourse, you probably won't listen considering the park is finished, and it is just my humble opinion.

I still download it anyway just to ride the awesome coaster. :)

Thanks for your comments. Updates have been so frequent since the park is technically finished. Although I am tweaking some settings (ride wait times, prices, staffing, etc.) to make sure that everything works like clockwork. Those peeps really can judge your park pretty accurately!

Yes, ytivarg & I are roommates (and have been for 3 years now). Wow, I was just thinking back to earlier collaboration projects:

Rocky Mountain Rumble (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=450712)
&

Diablo (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=447157)

Thanks for your comments! I was really struggling with finding just the right size for the park. Too large means more lag...too small and something gets left out. I think I've found a nice balance.

As for the Emporium, I agree that the shots really didn't give it justice. The angle presented short-changed it (no pun intended). Watch for an update!

Thanks for the 5 stars!

Thanks for your comments Montu! You've definately helped hold all of us to a higher regard. A themed Cedar Point?!? Not quite. I will agree that as you walk the midways you can always see a ride, however alot of planning went into what could and could not be seen. If you can see it (from a peeps view), there's a reason behind it. Themeing games isn't that easy, I'll admit! I messed around with working the pavement into the park (or more parts of it) and there were issues with uneven land and the scenery pieces not playing well with it. A shame yes, but I still feel that it works!

I'll let you know when the download is ready! Thanks again!

Thanks for that, those picks looked grate, I cant wate to see the rest of the park's rides i bet there going to be amazing!!

More are coming...in fact right now!

This park is amazing and if it were real, would be the best busch garden park ever. I have only one critisism your park is busch gardens:african adventure, so what is amazon racers doing there when the amazon is in south america?

[deaconnor]

Brilliant!

[LightGrenades]

I love it! I hope you don't mind me "steeling" your ideas for my next park.

Hmm, I don't think I can find anything to criticize, great job!

[cp_diva]

Very nice cp_diva.

Thanks! I've taken inspiration from the best I've seen and tried to incorporate it into this park.

Is this park available for download yet? this is truly amazing!!!

The park will become available after each of the major rides has been showcased. Minor touches I'm finding as I let peeps enjoy the park just continue to make it that much better. I will let everyone know when it's available for download.

This park is amazing and if it were real, would be the best busch garden park ever. I have only one critisism your park is busch gardens:african adventure, so what is amazon racers doing there when the amazon is in south america?

Amazon Racers found it's home at Busch Gardens African Adventure after initial designs from the park proved that a multi-internationally themed park would lose the charm of Africa. Unfortunately, but yet brilliantly, Planning & Design decided to keep the name and thus theme the ride around the concept. Park guests haven't noticed and still enjoy the ride the same.

Brilliant!

Like a lightbulb...

I love it! I hope you don't mind me "steeling" your ideas for my next park.

Hmm, I don't think I can find anything to criticize, great job!

That's what I like about these boards. Feel free to use my park as inpiration for your own work. However (as been discussed before), please do not use any images/logos that have since been copyrighted! That's cheating and is not fun!

Well if you didn't find anything, then I must be doing something right! Thanks!

In general news, I'm so glad that everyone enjoyed it. Take a look through the pictures, vote and enjoy the park.

I am taking a little time off to go watch Maverick (http://maverick.cedarpoint.com/) at Cedar Point now. Just got back from there and those trains are flying! Till the next update, take care!

Very nice....VERY NICE! It just keeps getting better and better and better and better and better and better...............(2 years later)...and better!

One thing.....why not do:

CONGO RACERS...has a nice sound to it...CONGO RACERS!..that would sound more African than Amazon Racers.

[ThrillRider27]

^ I agree, Congo Falls does sound more African and it would fit better since the name of the falls are "Congo Falls". ;)

As for Maverick (http://maverick.cedarpoint.com), I was at the park today during testing and I must say that I am impressed. That thing really gets moving. And I'm not talking 'bout Aunt Edna driving down the highway moving...I'm talking some real speed. I can't wait to get on that. Hopefully a couple weeks!

[SnooSnoo]

Amazing park.

You going to ride Mavvy on opening day? I made a bid to be in the first few trains.

[deaconnor]

How much u bid?

[Elf2007]

This must be the best Busch Gardens park I've ever seen!! :up: :up: :up: :up:

Honestly....just honestly...best park I've seen in the past few days.

Here you go:

Please note that a park has to be REALLY good for me to put that picture of 5-stars....I mean beyond the normal 5-star park! So you just earned yourselft a 5-star+

[cp_diva]

Thanks to everyone for your comments! I appreciate it! Now I have to decide what ride to make a video for next!

Amazing park.

I'll be riding it before opening day! Well before that! Another perk of working at the park!

[mike2084]

Amazing simply amazing

[supercoolsuper]

Very, very cool. I love congo rapids. But I dont like the way they made it in the game. They should have done a better job with it. Bu tyou did a very good job.

[andrewhurley13]

Wow , how did I miss this? Its amazing. It looks like an actual park. Exellent job!

[Nocturna]

Simply breath-taking work! 5 stars!

[spinme35]

wow this park is one of the best parks here on the fourms!! amazing work

[Loqo]

WOW! How do you do it? this is just simply amazing i keep checking all the time for a update, lol cant wait for some new pics!

[-NGS-]

I'm honestly not sure what to say. Every pic you've posted has completely taken my breath away. I've been inspired to trash a whole section of my own park and remake it after seeing this. There isn't anything I don't like about this park. You've obviously done your research, because this is so incredibly realistic and lifelike. I mean, God, I'm actually speechless. I can't think of any word to describe how inspiring and amazing this park is. Congratulations on making this my favorite theme park on the Atari forums. :)

[BurgerQueen]

Wow. Ohh my god. This is one of the best parks I have ever seen on the forums. Exellent work. It definitely deserves 5 stars.

~BUSCH GARDENS AFRICAN ADVENTURE ANNOUNCES BANSHEE~

B&M Stand-up coaster to highlight the center of world-renowned theme park.
Featuring 5 inversions, a dense jungle setting, and immaculate themeing, Banshee began thrilling guests at a Sneak Preview day for Season Pass Holders!

Park officials have once again declined comment on two attractions that have remained shrouded in secrecy. Only maXair Productions have been able to acquire behind-the-scenes access to Kilamanjaro & Sandstorm. Information has been limited on these attractions, however Marketing has promised more information as soon as they become available.

Amazing simply amazing

Thank you simply Thank you!

Very, very cool. I love congo rapids. But I dont like the way they made it in the game. They should have done a better job with it. Bu tyou did a very good job.

That's where the fun in RCT3 comes in...taking the limitations the game has and creating something better. It's amazing what a little foliage and some well-thought ideas can produce.

Wow , how did I miss this? Its amazing. It looks like an actual park. Exellent job!

I don't know, but I'm glad you found it. To have it look like an actual park means I am doing my job. Thanks!

Simply breath-taking work! 5 stars!

Did you vote? LOL - Thanks for your comment!

wow this park is one of the best parks here on the fourms!! amazing work

The forums have plenty of parks, tracks, scenarios, etc. all of which come from many talented individuals. I find the best way to get your imagination going is just take along...don't obviously steal someone's work outright. I'm glad you think I'm one of the best.

WOW! How do you do it? this is just simply amazing i keep checking all the time for a update, lol cant wait for some new pics!

Well it's not hard to update everyday as I have for the past week...esp. since the park is already complete. What I'm really having a hard time now is trying to find music to complete the videos. There are still 3 coasters that haven't even been shown and I wanted to make a general overview. I've also got one more surprise for everyone...but more on that later.

I'm honestly not sure what to say. Every pic you've posted has completely taken my breath away. I've been inspired to trash a whole section of my own park and remake it after seeing this. There isn't anything I don't like about this park. You've obviously done your research, because this is so incredibly realistic and lifelike. I mean, God, I'm actually speechless. I can't think of any word to describe how inspiring and amazing this park is. Congratulations on making this my favorite theme park on the Atari forums. :)

Well I'm glad you enjoyed the park. I have worked at an amusement park for 7 years now and am quite familiar with guests flow, realistic rides, etc. That's what made it so easy to translate into this park.

Wow. Ohh my god. This is one of the best parks I have ever seen on the forums. Exellent work. It definitely deserves 5 stars.

Thanks for your comments! They mean alot! Glad you enjoyed and keep an eye out for more...

Nice pics. I love them and banshee looks like a wild one. the exit ramp for Banshee looks a little strange though. But everything else is really cool.

[sub_voyage fan]

I love the roller coaster.

[Coastercool]

Nice update...

Very nice update! Is there going to be a video for that too?

I'm sure that must help a whole lot. :haha: If I lived anywhere near you, I'd almost be obliged to ask you for lessons.

You should have seen his RCT2 parks. :haha:

I fondly remember the day we started RCT'ing together...

*shoves Diva out of his chair* "Go do something for a half hour... I'll show you what theming is when you get back."

Hahah.... he's come a long way.

[cp_diva]

I will admit that I have learned a great deal of information from Mr. J. Cliffhanger was quite the ride (back in RCT2 time).

ytivarg builds roller coasters - GOOD...
cp_diva builds building - BIG...

[ytivarg]

Hotel Barnstormer, anyone?

[cp_diva]

It's not the original Hotel Barnstormer, but I do create some rather massive buildings.

This one's from Rocky Mountain Rumble! Yes, that's the station...

~BUSCH GARDENS AFRICAN ADVENTURE UNLEASHES SCORPION~

Scorpion will be park's 4th coaster to be publicly released! Boasting 3 inversions, "midway hops", strobe effects & sub-terranean dives, Scorpion will further push the limits of excitement reaching speeds of 55 mph.

Initial reports from Red Cross Auction Bid riders were overly positive, with first rides on Scorpion raising more than $500,000 to local charities. Tony Clark, Marketing, stated "We are just pleased to be able to give back to the community. The opening of Scorpion has sparked even more interest in the eastern side of the park." But park officials are remaining tight-lipped on any future announcements.

The park did however release photos from today's Red Cross riders, as well as the continuing festivities.

Geez, this park is amazing. Feels like Africa. :)

5 Stars!

That's what I was going for. Glad it's working for you!

...I just want to say... I hate you. :)

Again, amazing work though. Loving it.

Now, now! I won't be able to ride it nearly as much as what I would like to being that I live 5 mins. from the front gates. I do have to work!

I should be having a spin or fifteen on it pre-opening day, too. CAN'T WAIT!

At least it's not maXair. Riding that 8 times in a row did not do well on my stomach.

this probabbly means nothing to you, because everyone gives you it, but im going to give you 5 stars! :D great park!

Well I hope it was what you wanted to give me. Alot of detail went into everything in this park and I feel that it's paying off. Thanks!

[spinme35]

no lag yet?! i wanna see a over view picture of the park now after you added all of these rides

[supercoolsuper]

SO COOL!!!!!!! WOW. This is really cool and looking very good. I love it alot. The way you detailed everything is just so cool. And the way you take pictures is awesome.

[cp_diva]

no lag yet?! i wanna see a over view picture of the park now after you added all of these rides

The park is essentially finished. I don't really get any lag until I turn graphics up full-quality, but that's only for pictures and videos. Once the park is released as a download, I would not recommend you use these settings to "walk-around" with. I'll be giving a more complete overview once the park announces the last of the attractions. All in due-time.

SO COOL!!!!!!! WOW. This is really cool and looking very good. I love it alot. The way you detailed everything is just so cool. And the way you take pictures is awesome.

The detailing can become very frustrating at times, but when you see the finished product it really pays off. Picture taking has come along way. I can thank ytivarg for teaching me the wise ways of getting just that shot!

[poekie1337]

Incredeble! I Love the theming! The fances everywhere gives it a nice touch. I like the lay-out aswell! massive airtime!:D

[darkGDI]

This is a great park. I cant wait for it to be released!

Scorpion!

[deaconnor]

You really like stealing names don't you LOL. Anyway it's amazing 6 stars!

[gamemast75]

Fantastic park! Very realistic and I love your ride designs, just amazing! I'm looking forward to the next update.

[Kennywoodfanboy]

Scorpion looks awesome, I like the colors, and the theming of the surroundings, great job, keep up the fantastic work!

[cp_diva]

Incredeble! I Love the theming! The fances everywhere gives it a nice touch. I like the lay-out aswell! massive airtime!:D

Another touch of realism pays off! You may have noticed, but all of the rides in African Adventure have low-zone fences. Something so simple, but you almost always have to have them. Correction, everyone should use them! The ride really does have some good airtime (esp. before the 1st loop), but we'll just have to wait for the video for that!

This is a great park. I cant wait for it to be released!

Scorpion!

Soon enough, soon enough!

Tiger!

You really like stealing names don't you LOL. Anyway it's amazing 6 stars!

Actually that other park stole my name first! lol. Thanks!

Fantastic park! Very realistic and I love your ride designs, just amazing! I'm looking forward to the next update.

Glad you're enjoying it so much. Check out the news above...

Scorpion looks awesome, I like the colors, and the theming of the surroundings, great job, keep up the fantastic work!

I really want to create a park-overview video with sweeping shots to really showcase the other details that I can't always capture on photos. More on that soon.



As some of you may know, today I begin working at Cedar Point which means I will be putting in alot of hours and as such may not be able to update as often as I have for the past week. But I promise, work is still progressing and I'm really hoping to pump out some videos within the next week(s).

Keep an eye out for more to come! Thanks!

[Silver Park]

Look like you got the name from Scorpion in Bush Gardens Africa

[Loqo]

Amazing work, what custom scenery is that what you used for the buildings of the entrance?

[Crowheart]

Beautiful work!

It's great to see this going strong again, it's got it all!
Great rides, great layout of the park, great thread presentation.

I think Congo Rapids is my favorite, been looking forward to seeing that since you showed the overhead shot..
Makes a great strong central point of interest to the park!

[QsUpIiCcHyE]

This is one Busch Gardens Theme Park for which I'll buy Season Passes!!
:mdr1:

The look and the feel; all so very REAL!!
:D

Thanks to you for posting the "NEWS" to educate the masses,
:haha:

Just to see such AWESOME work, one could say, is a steal!!
:atari:

[cp_diva]

Look like you got the name from Scorpion in Bush Gardens Africa

In my previous posts, I was poking fun at the name use. Yes, I know the name is used on other rides around the world, but it just fits in the area of the park it's in. You haven't seen it all, but I can tell you it has alot to do with the themeing. Maybe I can find some time tonight to show you more of that area of the park.

Amazing work, what custom scenery is that what you used for the buildings of the entrance?

Most of the entrance (95%) is ShyGuys Circus Set I do believe. Alot of the building are generally the same with minor changes here & there. But my biggest point was to make sure they were all functional. Which I achieved. Glad you liked everything!

Beautiful work!

It's great to see this going strong again, it's got it all!
Great rides, great layout of the park, great thread presentation.

I think Congo Rapids is my favorite, been looking forward to seeing that since you showed the overhead shot..

Yeah, the park never really stopped, I just have to work it around my other job. So far I've been pretty lucky, but I need to get things finished up before I start at the park 7 days a week. With every ride, I try to tell a mini-story surrounding it. The next one's won't be the exception!

I was really worried about Congo Rapids in it's current state, but everyone seems to just love it. The quick directional changes and use of scenery, waterfalls, fountains, etc. really helped add the right touch. And I really am thinking that it is a nice central icon to the park. Wanna get wet? Head toward the center and look for Kilamanjaro's tower. Easy enough to find!

This is one Busch Gardens Theme Park for which I'll buy Season Passes!!

Wow thank you! You win the award for most colorful post in the thread! As I've said before, I try for realism. In everything. Keep an eye out for more news releases from park officials.

Now I need everyone's opinion. What to show next? The invert or the woodie?!?

Post and let me know what you want to see. I'm still trying to find some decent african-sounding music so I can bust these videos out. Any suggestions on where to find such music would be helpful.

Thanks again for everyone's comments, criticism and thoughts!

[Elf2007]

Scorpion looks Awsome!!
--------------------------

Really want to see inverted coaster!

[Albert Caine]

Awesome park! Everything looks great.

[QsUpIiCcHyE]

:o Perhaps the woodie's the better choice,
The times permit a change from steel
A rumbling, thunderous roaring voice,
The endless turn of chain and wheel
against two sun-beat roads, and poised
to dash perceptions of what's real.




(Yeah, definitely go with the woodie.):cool: :up:

EDIT: Everything looks PERFECT to me! Your efforts on all aspects of this park were certainly worth while (the entry area is quite spacious, and I love that you made it so. This is remarkably genius and Busch Gardens could use another addition to their "franchise"!)

[Elf2007]

^^^You do have a point, we've seen steel for the past (all) updates, I guess a change of "material" would be better...

Wooden Coaster it is!!

[cp_diva]

Well that's 2 votes for the woodie! I'll take that suggestion and post pictures of the park's wooden coaster (not ready to be named) located in the front southeastern section of the park.

I was glad it's looking this way. I won't be able to post pictures tonight per the Marketing Department, but they have assured me that a press-release will be made tomorrow. For the rest of tonight, I'm working on my next journey...not ready to announce what that is quite yet, but I will say that it is my biggest "park" to date.

[EDIT] Had to throw out some mad props for that poem!

[~LoveTulie]

Beautful update!
And I vote for the Woodie.

[kingzack997]

wow what an amazing ride it look so good and really i like it alot and ur park is amazing it looks so amzing it looks very amazing

Woodie

Looks great!

[CDN1212]

Look really good. I really like those coasters:)

[Sno]

Wow! Great job! Do you have a lot of lag?

[ytivarg]

Slacking off onto Page 2, Dear Diva? No, no no...

When're we gonna see something new? I KNOW this park has more to offer.

[Coasterfreak55]

How did you make the water sync. with Kihara? Please Reply

[Dormouse]

I vote wooden.

Every great park has to have at least one great wooden coaster!

Great Park! :up:

Update soon?

Edit- opps I forgot about the CP thing.

Your park has inspired me to download the track beds scenery. It never seemed like something I'd use until I saw this...

BUSCH GARDENS AFRICAN ADVENTURE ANNOUNCES CHEETAH!

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9385/cheetahlogozx4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Coasters roars into the parks expansive collection, thrilling its first riders April 20, 2007. Park officials as well as members from the media were on-hand today as Cheetah roared into the heart of coaster enthusiasts and the general public.

Topping out just over 100', Cheetah reaches speeds of more than 50 mph, throwing guests from side-to-side as they race through the jungle. Multiple crossover elements and sweeping turns are just a few features Cheetah now offers guests at Busch Gardens African Adventure!



http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2210/shot0018yc1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
The grand opening of Cheetah a massive terrain coaster located in the front of the park welcomed all thrill-seekers!


http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/5381/shot0038au6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
As the first train of the season crests the hill, it's all arms up!


http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8983/shot0001ja5.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
Pouncing over hills, Cheetah loses no speed before darting back into the jungle.


http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/2393/shot0006xi9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
High-speed drops and sharp turns are just a few features of this amazing coaster!

As night descends, Cheetah stalks through the jungles!


http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/110/shot0057gz1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
And a final shot...guess what is opening soon! Call the parents!


Okay, it's an update time! I found some spare time (and know that some people have been waiting to see more). Cheetah was announced today, so check it out! Sorry it's taken so long and this post goes on forever, but with no responses, I had to edit rather than creating a new post! I will leave the comments I previously stated, but most of them don't apply anymore. Just ignore!


Beautful update!
And I vote for the Woodie.

Vote counted! Thanks!

wow what an amazing ride it look so good and really i like it alot and ur park is amazing it looks so amzing it looks very amazing

Thanks for your comments. I assume you are talking about Banshee. I really think the color justs adds some splash to the park. A real step away from the browns and greens that are everywhere else.

Woodie

Looks great!

Woodie it will be!

Look really good. I really like those coasters:)

You haven't even seen all of them yet...

Wow! Great job! Do you have a lot of lag?

Thanks! What are you working on now? I don't get alot of lag during normal operation, but if I bump up those graphics, watch out!

Slacking off onto Page 2, Dear Diva? No, no no...

When're we gonna see something new? I KNOW this park has more to offer.

It's been a rough week! But well get to more soon. How bout those logos? Or music?

How did you make the water sync. with Kihara? Please Reply

Unfortunately, water jets have yet to been able to be assigned like a ride event, so I had to make them a firework show. It's nice as you can adjust the settings, but just doesn't work in practicality since the trains don't always leave at the same time. Any pictures/videos of the water splash are purely a one-time trick and must be carefully timed for each viewing...something that just isn't possible (yet).

I vote wooden.

Every great park has to have at least one great wooden coaster!

Great Park! :up:

Planning & Design went through several woodie designs (and even locations). I think the end product is a nice complement to the park. Watch out for the next update!

Update soon?

Edit- opps I forgot about the CP thing.

Yeah, sorry about that. It's coming!

Your park has inspired me to download the track beds scenery. It never seemed like something I'd use until I saw this...

I am anticipating more in the coming week or so...

The track beds really all started back at the invert (on the suggestion of ytivarg) and just kept expanding. The end product (In my opinion is quite nice) and helps to break up the left-right-forward feel of RCT3. Sooner than a week, but not tonight, I'll give everyone some updates!

[-NGS-]

La dee dah! I feel like you could have shown us a few more pics of the layout because I have absolutely no idea what's happening in this ride. I'm also a bit concerned how the station's roof is supported in pic #1. Overall it looks like you did a fairly good job, but again I can't tell much from the pics.

[BurgerQueen]

Looks great. But as NGS said, you can't see mutch from those pics.

[LightGrenades]

Looks great! Although I would like to see more of the layout.

[spinme35]

awesome coaster!! and very nice pictures you took

[Coastercool]

Looks good I like the new coaster especially the name makes it seem like a fast coaster...

[sub_voyage fan]

The last picture reminds me of the fake volcano in front of the Mirage in Las Vegas! So nice work!

[deaconnor]

Looks great, as usual. This is looking so good.

cp_diva's good with suspence......I like that....get's you more excited for what's next. :D!

[Lux_Dreaming]

A 3/4 view of the ride would be nice.

[CDN1212]

Looks great. excellent work.

[Rct3Mania]

cp_Divalicious, really! :up:

[Loqo]

Amazing as usual cp-diva, keep it up!

[Steffen]

OMG. This parks is really good looking:up::up::up:. It's so realistic and everything is so beautiful.

I would love to see more pics of the woody

To everyone: I will admit that Cheetah's press release picture are slightly misleading. Didn't have much time in-game yesterday to really showcase the good stuff. Today I have a little bit more work, but I should be done with that around noon, so I'll grab the screens that everyone wants to see.

No time to individually quote everyone, but by and large, THANK YOU! I'll grab a couple though...

...you could have shown us a few more pics of the layout because I have absolutely no idea what's happening in this ride. I'm also a bit concerned how the station's roof is supported in pic #1...

Cheetah's station is supported in the same manner that Top Thrill Dragster's station at Cedar Point is supported - cantilever system. And I promise more sweeping pictures.

The last picture reminds me of the fake volcano in front of the Mirage in Las Vegas! So nice work!

Very nice, VERY NICE! :D :up: :up:

I'm not followin' you in the last pic, I don't get it. :noob:

Not quite that intense...more like a nice facade to a new area.

Luv that station.. which is the only thing I can really make out from the screens you have given.. Come on.. the parks already finished.. release the good screens!!!!

Bumping up the graphics to full quality and trying to move the camera around with 2000+ peeps playing in the park isn't quite as fast as one would think. It does take time, but I'm trying to get it done as soon as possible.

Think of it like a big game of Clue...well kinda!

[~LoveTulie]

Very nice! The station is fabulous.
Could we get an overview of the coaster?

[Dormouse]

The new section of the park is either going to be a kiddie area or an adult area?

[sub_voyage fan]

Oh okay. Well I have to agree it looks nice! Are the rocks recolorable or can you add a Cheata bilboard nearby that is hidden?

[darkGDI]

Can't wait for this park to be released!

[Rct3NuT]

WOW MY GOSH! That is amazing, it is so realistic. 10 million Stars!

Crossing under, over and around itself, Cheetah provides maximum airtime on several hills!


Very nice! The station is fabulous.
Could we get an overview of the coaster?

Thanks (and see above)! ;)

The new section of the park is either going to be a kiddie area or an adult area?

What else is left?!? Good guess!

Oh okay. Well I have to agree it looks nice! Are the rocks recolorable or can you add a Cheata bilboard nearby that is hidden?

There has always been a ride sign near the entrance letting guests know where they are. It just didn't make round 1 of the Marketing Press Release. About the rocks...I dunno!

Can't wait for this park to be released!

Very close! We have two more rides to announce and then it should be showtime!

WOW MY GOSH! That is amazing, it is so realistic. 10 million Stars!

10 million Thanks!

[LightGrenades]

There we go! That looks amazing!

[-MoNtU]

Oh my, that is one beast of a coaster.

[~LoveTulie]

Wow.. that is looking soo good.
How big is the park? Like are you expanding it?

[sub_voyage fan]

Oh okay. My idea was to look guests were entering Cheta country. And I thought rocks would have looked nice.

[darkGDI]

This park just amazes me. The amount of detail that was put into it just puts the Busch Gardens feel onto it. I am just waiting by my computer (playing RCT3 of course) for this park to be released! Just one question:
2 actually.
1. How do you rid your pictures/videos of the RCT 3 UI?
2. How big is your park? Busch Gardens Global Travels is 100x100, and I was wondering what the size of this park was.

PS: This park inspired Global Travels. I am working diliigently to get updates for it.

[KingofKamelot]

That looks amazing. That is one heck of a terrain woodie! Great job.

[BurgerQueen]

Wow, looks great. Really awesome coaster.

[spinme35]

amazing woodie with awesome foilage around!!

[cp_diva]

Work is currently on-going in the park. We'll be updating soon (if not today then sometime soon). Remember for the next 3 weeks, I work Mon-Fri from 8 - 5 at Cedar Point getting ready for opening day. If there's not an update I must be at work! Thanks for your patience!


There we go! That looks amazing!

Thanks! Isn't suspense great? ;)

Oh my, that is one beast of a coaster.

Funny thing is that it's one of the smallest in the park. But from the midway it looks quite tempting (esp. from peep-level).

Wow.. that is looking soo good.
How big is the park? Like are you expanding it?

Thanks! The park is 130 x 130 tiles. A couple of pages ago, we figured out the size. Expanding in-park...no! Everything is built and is now being showcased. Outside the park...that hasn't been announced yet!

Oh okay. My idea was to look guests were entering Cheta country. And I thought rocks would have looked nice.

Not quite following you on this one! Any other takers here?

Haha, thanks! I play RCT3 and wait for any updates on parks I watch as well.

#1 - All of my pictures and videos are used with the Advanced Camera Editor (CTRL-SHIFT-0). I know that you can also rename a peep David Braben (is that right?) and it will remove the UI.

#2 - See above...

PS - The link to your Global Travels park just goes back to your old park. Didn't know if you meant that or not.

That looks amazing. That is one heck of a terrain woodie! Great job.

Thanks - I used a couple of visual effects/creativity in going for that feel.

Wow, looks great. Really awesome coaster.

Thank you! There's always more coming!

amazing woodie with awesome foilage around!!

And to think that it was all done before the re-edited jungle trees without collision-detection! Planning helps out alot!

[sub_voyage fan]

Never mind about my idea.

[infiniteblue]

Wow, this park is incredible! The coasters are phenomenal, and the park itself looks like an acutal Busch Gardens park. Great job!
