Crystal Falls Lake (Roman Empire Tour) (5/22)

[The Judge]

Welcome to Crystal Falls Lake... The parks construction if Finnaly finished (im soo glad lol). I will be running the park thru its paces to make sure that it will run as good as it looks (imho). Max guests in the park so far is 2k+ but around that point the game normally crashes.... (anyone know of a max?)
OK more about the park and a little history.(not great at this kinda of stuff so.. here goes....)

In 1876 a farmer bought the land the park sits on this day. While they worked on clearing the land to plant crops they noticed the Falls... four rivers all dumped into a large lake in the center of his land. The farmer didnt care so much as he was in the business of planting crops and selling them to the local market. Well some of the workers told thier friends of the falls and then it spread. Soon people from all over the region were going to the falls, without the farmer even knowing, and swiming in the lake. Well a few years passed and the farmer caught on to the people sneaking onto his land. Being the business man he was he figured he could turn this into a very good (and profitable) thing. He placed a small parking area and fencing up. He charged a mere 10 cents to park and swim as long as the paying customer wanted. He had no idea what he was starting.... Well after many , many expansions of the parking area and the growing intrest from the people that came, he figured out that he no longer needed to be a farmer. He began to place small carnival rides around the lake. First was a merry-go-round. It was a HUGE hit. The guests of the now "park" wanted more. They kept asking for more rides and they got them. Now the year is 2007 and Crystal Falls Lake is more popular then ever befor. This family run theme park is full of thrills for the entire family. I the Grandson of that "farmer" will give all of you a personal tour of the park and its many attractions!

Once again Welcome everyone to Crystal Falls Lake!! Enjoy your visit!

This area is the park's historical area of the park. This is where it all started! You can see the orignal theme of the park and structures. Things have changed in the others "areas" of the park.(more on that later). In this image you can see the Original giant slide that was built in 1943. We have gone over the top to keep all of the orignal rides in perfect working order!

Now if you turn around you can see "American Screamer"! This was the second ride in the park that went upside down. When we first placed it it was a huge hit and still is today!
http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/2802/asshotkh1.jpg

And the final shot of the night. "The Legend" was the first coaster in the park. Built by Arrow in 1986 it features 4 inversions and a upclose view of the falls! Enjoy!

Well thats all for now (dont want to give it all away) I hope you enjoyed the small tour for today and hope you come back again for more!

To everyone else thanks for the comments, Keep'em comming!!:up:

Ok back to the park?

Today we will start with a little moree indepth look at "The Legend". As you can see in this shot it is pretty much a terrain coaster because we felt that we did not want to ruin the awe inspiring view of the falls.
http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/3534/legendlayoutma0.jpg

Up next is the classic lookout tower we have in the center of the Old town. It provides a view of the entire park and is the parks Second tallest ride..
http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/9256/lookouttowerpc1.jpg

[UberBunny]

[yann944]

Great job ...:up:

[Immelman]

This looks fantastic. You dod a really good job of creating an immersive environment.

[rctmaniac]

Looks really fantastic :D

[DarkMeasures]

Great job.

[~LoveTulie]

Amazing park you have here!
How long did it take you to finish this park? And how much lag is there?

[chrisattack16]

just 1 gig? lol thats a lot of cs

[Kennywoodfanboy]

Looks awesome!! Great work

[The Judge]

where are those castle walls from?

The castle is from the Max DC sets. I have like 6 differant sets all of them differant parts to make up a castle...


~LoveTulie,
The park took me about 2 months to make. Thats with 1/4 of the work having to be redone due to a bad save... backups saved me there lol!
And lag is BAD when I have all options set to max but I can still move around the park with a whopping 7fps :haha:

Sorry no more pics tonight, Will have the start of the Irish village tour on here tomarow!:up:

And once again thanks for the great comments all!

[Steffen]

Fantastic:) I really love your hedge work and the layout of Legend=:up:.

Can't wait for more updates.

[The Judge]

Well day 3 of the tour and we are going to spend some time in the Old Irish Village. This section of the park is more for the younger members of the family. No big thrill rides here and no coaster this time. On with the tour!

First we start at the entrance of the village. We have a belltower standing in the center of a nice planter. This is a meeting spot of sorts. With the bell charming every hour, the little ones cant say they didnt know what time it was...
http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/7677/ivwelcomexz7.jpg

Up next is the "Goblin". Its a fun ride and I personally still love to ride in every once in a while! The themeing for the ride makes as if you were going to slam into the walls. Its sure to please the young and old alike!
http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/5023/goblinpv1.jpg

Next up is the Bumper cars and Ferris Wheel. As you can see the landscapeing team have done a wonderfull job of placeing plenty of trees to provide some shade for the little ones.
http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/4864/bcfwau7.jpg

Our first night time shot. This is of the Big Swing ride. This ride is the most "thrilling" ride in the Irish Village. The kiddies love the feeling they get when they fly into the air!
http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/4286/bigswingnightzr2.jpg

We will be headed to the Irish Castle section of the park tomarow. This section houses the parks B&M Inverted coaster named "Drachen" and The parks only dark ride "Catacombs". Until then a small teaser of the path to the castle...
http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/6179/icteaserin6.jpg

Once again thanks everyone for the great comments and keep'em commin :D

[remnantboy]

AWESOME! It reminds me alot of Disneyland! Nice work!

[Vans_boy]

wow looking good! Let us see that old school looking invert!!! lol I love your feel to the park :up: :up:
josh.

[rctmaniac]

Awesome :)

[RCT3Richie]

Looks awesome, the first pic is great!

[Crowheart]

Well, this looks quite good!

The building architecture is outstanding all around, it's look pretty and realistic at the same time.
The castle turned out great, I love the low-down design of it, it fits in much better with the more low-key look of the area.

I thought the shark looked a bit odd there, as there wasn't any water around or anything to suggest it belonged there...perhaps that was just the perspective of the shot though, and there is more there than we can see.

Great job so far, looks marvelous!

Your right about the perspective of the shot. Here is a angle that shows the water and how the entire coaster is over it.
http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/5746/watershotyo0.jpg
I did get a nice suprise tho from the shark. I had no idea it had an animation.:haha: So it worked out better with it being right next to the line for the coaster!

[Crowheart]

Makes much more sense from that perspective, figured it was something like that..:up:

[ziggles]

Wow this is AMAZING. You have a very good sense of style and placement. Much better than mine. Keep it up.

[~LoveTulie]

Amazing work!

[chrisattack16]

is there a pub in the irish section? lol your scenery is amazing. cant wait to see the b&m invert

[gamemast75]

Just amazing! I love that Corkscrew coaster, very nice and realistic.

[Azn_warrior]

Why is it that every other park on this is better than mine??
good job on the coaster and scenery!

[J_DeRosa15]

Now this looks VERY creative! I really like this park!! I will be following. :D

[The Judge]

is there a pub in the irish section? lol your scenery is amazing. cant wait to see the b&m invert

How about a tavern and a wine celler? ;)

Thank you EVERYONE for the great comments and votes heh.
As for hitting the second page mark Ill offer up a park overview (at night).
I was going to take a day shot but sorry it showed a tad to much so for what its worth here ya go.:up:

[chrisattack16]

wow that must lag like hell!

[Steffen]

Wow. That park is filled:)

[The Fonz]

The park Busch Gardens Europe comes to mind when seeing this. Not that it is a bad thing, far from it, being it is voted the most beautiful park in the World!

You Sir have a very pretty park on your hands, nice mix of scenery to create such unique buildings. What is better is the atmosphere it gives off, not many parks create such a welcoming atmosphere as this one, congrats.

Can't wait to see the park during the day :up:

[Lux_Dreaming]

You absolutely MUST post a shot of this park during daylight hours.....it is STUNNING!!!!!!!!!

[larry241]

Yeah - I agree with Lux! This is beautiful. I sooooo want to see how the park fills out. Beautiful work here!

[The Judge]

Well let me start off by saying that the Irish Castle is'int home to many attractions here at Crystal Falls. But it dose house two of the parks most intesne rides. Home to Drachen and The Catacombs the Irish Castle section is a thrill seekers dream.

The entrance of the castle.
http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/6743/icentrancerm0.jpg

Here we see the entrance of The Catacombs from atop Drachens Station. Notice that Catacomb's entire ride layout is under the old gothic church.
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4058/cataentranceoc0.jpg

Here is the gothic church from another angle to highlight some of its many fine details.
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5456/gothicchurchwv9.jpg

On with Drachen the Irish Castles main attraction. Drachen was built in 1992 by B&M coasters. It features 7 heart pounding inversions and a eighty foot sweeping first drop. It may not be a reacord breaker but it is still one of the parks best coasters.

Here we look at Drachen Entrance and station building.
http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/1116/drachenstationym8.jpg

Here is Drachens first sweeping drop, looks like fun yea?
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/996/drachenstdroprw1.jpg

Here is a shot overlooking some of Drachens layout (not going to show the entire layout:p ). Notice how intertwined the track is?
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3375/drachenoverviewmb8.jpg

And final shot of Drachen from the lookout area. Here you can get close enough to feel the wind as the train rushes by at speed...
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1425/drachenlookoutod5.jpg

Thanks everyone for the wonderfull comments.

We here at Crystal Falls Lake are currently looking to employ a Park Promations Manager. If you think you have what it takes please feel free to PM me or post a response in THIS (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=584081) thread. Thank you for once again joining me on a tour of yet another section of Crystal Falls Lake Till next time Enjoy.

[mike2084]

Holy cow on a farm with blood suckings moskiters this is awesome my hat is off to you.:respect: wow the smileys is still on :D

[~LoveTulie]

Wow this is really one hell of a park! It is humungous!
Everything looks very good!
Where did you get inspiration to even finish this whole thing!?

[disneyland255]

I would like to see some shots of the ride under the cathedral.....

[~LoveTulie]

And I would like to see some shots of that really big coaster that looks like it is in the back of the park and is grey.

[The Judge]

Here are two onride shots of Catacombs (not that great at dark rides but i think it turned out ok...)

This is under the cathedral where 90% of the track is...
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/6095/catainsideod3.jpg

And another shot of the only place the ride exits out from under the cathedral just to dive back under it...
http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/5231/cataoutsidetw8.jpg

And just for you ~LoveTulie A teaster shot of Poseidon...:eek:
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/1567/poseidonteaserhj2.jpg

Up next in the tour is Atlantis Adventure Zone...

[~LoveTulie]

That coaster looks amazing!
The dark ride also looks really good!
Can't wait to see more of this park!

[Fisherman]

What a BEAUTIFUL park, Judge!!! INCREDIBLE!!! How's the lag now?

-Derek

[The Judge]

What a BEAUTIFUL park, Judge!!! INCREDIBLE!!! How's the lag now?

-Derek

Lag is "ok" (5fps and night 7-10fps during the day).. But as soon as I open the gates and let the peeps come in... forget it LOL. Takes it from a crawl to almost snail pace until my system catches up... Worst part for me is loading the park.. Takes about 7 mins to open the park up LOL

Lux_Dreaming & larry241,
I would love to post a day time shot of the entire park but I dont want to show all of my cards just yet. Besides the roman empire might get a healthy refurb when the roman CS pack is up for download.

The Fonz,
To compare my park to BGE is well... Awesome. I think it is inspired by it as I personally love that park. I was trying to make it have the same type of feel as BGE. Where you dont feel like your in a park, but feel as if your in the other country that your standing in at that point. SO thank you very much for the compareison to BGE.

~LoveTulie,
As far as inspiration BGE comes to mind as far as the overall "feel" of the park. But on a more local note my oldest son (7), really pushed me to keep going. It helps when you have support sitting right next to you lol..:haha:


Thanks everyone for the Great comments.. Also I am still looking for someone to film my rides (as I cant in rct3 and well fraps = lag...) So if you can please chime in here or PM me.. Thanks!

[disneyland255]

Thanks for those shots of the Catacombs! That coaster looks awesome also!

[chrisattack16]

drachen looks freakin' sweet!

[CDN1212]

Drachen looks amazing!!! Excellent work Judge!!!

[chrisattack16]

what proccessor are you using and how much ram do you have?

[The Judge]

I have a Intel core 2 duo (e4300) OC'ed to 3.2Ghz and 2 gigs of ddr2 ram.. And a 7950gt (256mb) OC'ed to 650core 800 mem ( all watercooled) :D

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/5781/overviewdaysa5.jpg

I hope it dosent give too much away, but there is a ton more to see @ eye level.
PS the roman area Might get a massive overhaul depending on when i get my hands on the new roman set lol:up:

[Dormouse]

I'm stunned!

This is so vast and there is just so much to take in...
I want the download now! :D:up:

[UberBunny]

Holy god! Thats a big park!

[chrisattack16]

Frontier or Atari: if you read this, this park would'nt lag as much if this game had dual-core support!

[Rct3-Owen]

:eek2: Holy flying pig! Thats massive. and soo detailed. must've been a long project. How annyoing is it when somewthing goes worng and messes up the whole park!. Lol. Once agen the best detail park in ages! 5 Star :up:

[Steffen]

WOW:eek: Just amazing work. There are details everywhere. GREAT WORK MAN!!!

[BigBurger]

Absolutely stunning!

[towersdude]

WOW! how come i never saw this park before! i really want a look at that roman scetion - the diagonal buildings, paths, and rapids look to form together greatly!

and that looks like a mavericl style coater to the right, am i right? looks great mind you anyway. I love it how you have the rides in the area but still hidden from eye level! i wish i could do that!

[Elf2007]

HOLY ******* ****, this park is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see that atlantis looking section.

And everything else just looks great too!!!:up: :up: :up: :up:

[~LoveTulie]

Wow... you can see so much more when it is daylight.. and it looks fantastic!

[ThaSchwab]

The castle station for Drachen is very realistic. And so is the pathing (?) and everything else.

Good job. :)

[The Fonz]

Geez wizz! I love it!

I can't wait to see the Western n Roman themed areas, they look intense! I seriously can not wait for the next update, let alone the download.

[Pauliewag]

Utterly amazing! And all this was done in only 2 months! Once again the bar has been raised for all us mortals...and to think we haven't even seen all of it yet.

[rctmaniac]

Amazing! Surely you must get lag?

[The Judge]

WoW... 1 little picture and all the responses from it LOL...

Im going to start this tour off with a plea to all of you movie makers out there. I have tried everything in the book short of placeing a camcorder in front of my pc to take videos of the coasters/track rides. Ctrl shift f11 and any other hotkey I set it as dose not work. It takes a 0byte video (course thats nothing on it). I am begging you all to help me with ride promo videos.. You'll be the second person to be able to see the park and the first person to see the 100% finished version of it.

But anyways on with the tour...
This is the Atlantis Adventure Area of the park. Once again there is no coaster here. Insted of a coaster it has the parks largest water ride "The Lost City". Here is a look at one of three entrances for the area.
http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/6512/aaentrancend1.jpg

Up next in the tour is an older zipper ride we named Atlantis Power Plant. (couldent think of a better name LOL) We still have a few problems with this ride as when we open the doors at the bottom the ones on top open... We have installed additonal lapbars to keep the peeps from falling out...:haha:
http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/4521/apppicsv9.jpg

Up next a small little eating area for guests to relax and enjoy the views we offer here at Crystal Falls Lake.
http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/9595/resthl2.jpg

Up next is a night time shot of Star Gazer. This ride is sure to make you spin with delight... :bulb:
http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4779/stargazervx5.jpg

And the Final shot of the tour for today. The splash zone for "The Lost City". We will place more images of the ride later today or tomarow morning.

Thanks again for all of the great comments and I hope you enjoyed this small tour of Crystal Falls Lake.

[Rct3-Owen]

BreathnTaking. stunning. inspirational! Nice flume ride!!!

[-MoNtU]

Wow.. just wow.. absolutly breath taking.

I would love to see that area with the red rooves... is it Greek or Roman by chance?

By the way.. I'll give you a more indepth comment when I have more time.. I'm in a rush now..

#?@:!!helpme...

Joe.

[supercoolsuper]

OMG! This is so cool! The atlantis part and that water ride is incredible! My eyes popped out of my sockets just looking at these pics! 5 stars!

[Lux_Dreaming]

Your building skills are nothing short of amazing!!! I can't wait to download this puppy....my new comp should be able to handle it.

[Immelman]

I absolutely love this park as well. It does have a Busch Gardens Europe feel to it. Drachen is really cool, it reminds me of a combination of Alpengeist and Big Bad Wolf, with it flying around buildings. If the ride were real, the foot chopping effect would be great.

By the way, whats the map size for this park?

[rObY1985]

He said 120x120

[Immelman]

He said 120x120

Oh, thanks, I somehow missed that. I'm suprised, it seems bigger than that.

[The Judge]

Wow.. just wow.. absolutly breath taking.

I would love to see that area with the red rooves... is it Greek or Roman by chance?

By the way.. I'll give you a more indepth comment when I have more time.. I'm in a rush now..

Its Greek and Roman.. Really the only reason I say that is because Posiedon sound better then Neptune (same god). Greek called it Poseidon and Romans called it Neptune. The main attraction is the coaster so I guess its a bit of both? And I would love to hear your imput as Im looking for ways to improve what I have built.

@ Everyone else thanks for the kind words and for the person that voted 4 star. Can you tell me what it is that dosent make it a five star? I again would love to know so I can improve whatever it is you think is holding the park back.

Ok a few more shots of The Lost City splash boat ride!
Here is an image of what the ride is like befor it enters the temple!
http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/9017/onridetlc11cr1.jpg

You get a chance to get very close to one of the temple guardians. Im sure glad its behind bars, arn't you?

And here is a night shot of the Atlantis Adventure Zone..
http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/521/overviewec6.jpg

Till tomarow Hope you enjoy the screens! Next up.... ROMAN EMPIRE!

PS: Still looking for someone to make promo vids of my coasters.... :cry:

[chrisattack16]

ik love the new water ride!

[BigBurger]

Excellent work! U want to get wet...

[~LoveTulie]

Wow. This part of the park is amazing!
I love Star Gazer at night!

Keep up this fantastic work!

[The Judge]

Slight change of plans... The Roman Empire tour is on hold until the new construction is finished. So in the next tour we will be headed to the Wild West! The Wild West houses not one but TWO of the parks coasters and brand new for the 07' season, Sidewinder, B&M's answer to Maverick @ Cedar Point. So stay tuned...

Small teaser of the tour tomarow enjoy!...

Thanks again for all of the wonderfull comments!

[Rct3-Owen]

[DaDak]

[Elf2007]

WOW!...I.I'm...sor..sorry, I'm still trying to..take this in. This park is just TOO good!!

My favorite part is the Atlantis part, actually, everything that has to do with Atlantis, or lost worlds, would be my favorite! :D

Again, everything else look GREAT!!

The western zone looks sweet, looks like a real, authentic western town! :D :up: .

I can't wait for Rome/Greece!!!

:D :up: :up: :up: :up:

[BigBurger]

I think it's build with the Greece and the harbour Sets (I hope so)...

[The Judge]

WOW! how come i never saw this park before! i really want a look at that roman scetion - the diagonal buildings, paths, and rapids look to form together greatly!

and that looks like a mavericl style coater to the right, am i right? looks great mind you anyway. I love it how you have the rides in the area but still hidden from eye level! i wish i could do that!


Yes Sidewinder is a double launch coaster.

On with the tour yea?...

Due to the amount of rides in Wild West section this will be a two or three part tour. During this part of the tour will be an almost overview of the area and general theme. Up next we will cover "Timber wolf" (wooden coaster) and "Buzzsaw Falls" (log flume). On with the images yea? LOL:up:

Here we can see the two coasters in the area peaking out behind buildings and the tree tops... Gets your blood flowing eh?

Another shot of the general feel of Wild West. We went to great lengths to try and rebuild the feeling of being out in the wild west..

Here is a shot of the other entrance, this time from the Atlantis Adventure zone. Once again you can see just how Sidewinder jumps out from behind all of the great theme our team has built.

And a slight overview of Timberwolf the parks only wooden coaster and most twisted coaster. More on this ride along with Buzzsaw Falls in tomorrows tour.

Sidewinder will have a full tour devoted to just itself. Being that it is opening this season we feel it needs the added attention... Stay tuned for more!

Thanks everyone for the comments. If anyone sees something that they feel could be better please speak up. I can take it....

Till next tour Enjoy your stay at Crystal Falls Lake!!

[rctmaniac]

That woody is fantastic!! Your theming is very good.

[disneyland255]

WOW! Sidewinder looks like a blast! I am curious to see your Buzzsaw falls ride too. It is always fun to see how people do log rides.

[chrisattack16]

there's not a single piece of straight track on that woodie! very nice!

[yogamoanyo]

now thats just AMAZING! great job man!

[BigBurger]

Wohow, I want to right Sidewinder...is there any chance of an video?

[larry241]

Such a magnificient park! It looks like an actual filled-in park! Beautiful!
You've got wonderful coaster building skills. The little twister looks fantastic too. I can't wait to delve into this one!

[The Judge]

Wohow, I want to right Sidewinder...is there any chance of an video?

A video is in the works right now.

Sorry for the tour from today. I got tied up with RL. I am working on having the Timber Wolf and Buzzsaw Falls part of the tour posted tomarrow.

Once again sorry.

Thank you all for posting and keep checking in!

[DaDak]

sweet a video coming!

[BigBurger]

Upps, of course I want to ride Sidewinder ;) I've built some hanging coaster with the same name sometime...

[Arctic Mouse]

Very Nice!

[Crowheart]

That day-time overhead shot was quite stunning...the park looks great from above!
I love all the "curviness" in the top left section, not a straight path in sight..:up:

[callmecosmo]

This park grows more on me everytime, very realistic and amazing looking rides. I have two questions, the fences in pst 98 pic one, where are they from? and in psost 98 pic 5, where is the water tower from. Thanks in advance. Can't wait to see more of the Wild West! Show us more of Shafted, looks like you were creative in its theming.

That woody is fantastic! Lovely layout!
I also love the Log Flume too!

Keep up the fascinating work!

[disneyland255]

Wonderful Update!

Quick question:
Did you use Vodhin's Alpine set for the wooden "bridges" on Timberwolf? I really like the layout! Looks wicked!

[The Judge]

Wonderful Update!

Quick question:
Did you use Vodhin's Alpine set for the wooden "bridges" on Timberwolf? I really like the layout! Looks wicked!

Vodhin's Log cabins/ vermont theme for the rooves and walls, and Shyguy's Alpine Village set for the posts. And those 2 bridges are the coasters 2 MCBRs. I will tell you that they do NOT trim the coaster any... Just there if we need to stop a train for any reason heh.

Keep the comments rolling and Im glad you all liked the update (even tho it was a day late) :up:

Thanks for the help on the fences and water tower Judge1 I really like the look of the covered brake areas on the new ride, they look realistic and blend right in, plus I am sure they provide a nice little hand chopping effect. Loving this park.

[~LoveTulie]

This park is A-mazing!

[The Judge]

Here it is everyone. The world debut of Sidewinder, B&M's answer to Maverick @ Cedar Point. We heard about the plans for CPs newest ride and were quick on the phone with our long time partners B&M. They wanted to build something new and this was the perfect chance for them to do just that. At a cost of almost $20M, it is the second largest budget we have spent on a coaster. (highest being Poseidon our dive coaster, more on that later) We were not sure where to place this new coaster but when someone refered to it as "sidewinder" (refering to the track layout) we knew everything from there on out. This coaster is a proud addition to Crystal falls Lake's world class coaster lineup, and we welcome you to the World debut.

Here is a shot of its first drop. Standing at 90' tall is is not the largest in the park. Infact it is the shortest coaster.. but don't let that fool you. With 4 heart pounding inversions and its 3462ft of track it will have you holding on the entire time.
http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7771/sfdtf1.jpg

Here we have the station. We wanted the station to have the same feel as the surrounding area.
http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7186/sfdstationgp0.jpg

The next few shots are just overall shots to try and give you a feel for the coaster. As you can see the coasters is full of close calls for your heads to fly under.

[Crowheart]

Looks splendid...very Thunder-Mountain-ish with the rockwork...superbly themed!

Wouldn't mind seeing a video either..:up:

[East_Aer82]

I really wish I could give you some constructive criticism, but, I see nothing wrong.

Fantastic in every way. Your attention to detail is amazing.

Look forward to seeing more.

And good luck in RCT3: Survivor!

[guitarist4life]

The park Busch Gardens Europe comes to mind when seeing this. Not that it is a bad thing, far from it, being it is voted the most beautiful park in the World!

You Sir have a very pretty park on your hands, nice mix of scenery to create such unique buildings. What is better is the atmosphere it gives off, not many parks create such a welcoming atmosphere as this one, congrats.

Can't wait to see the park during the day :up:


i agree with u fonz, i go to bg europe about every week(season passes) and it really has the same kind of feel. this isnt a copy though so dont start thinking u copied it. this is a wonderful park! its very original!

I hope I have copied the feeling that BGE gives off.. As far as copying the park... cant really make a good alpengeist in rct3..:cry: ( I have tried 100 times LOL)

As far as a video. Well the problem is I cant take videos in rct3.. I am working with ATH on the videos so they will come. Both of us are busy. Him more then me with his catwalks set and now Survivor and me with Survivor and well something else...;)

If ATH dosen't mind and someone else would like to take up the load of doing the videos then Im open to anyone able to take them and edit them LOL.

NP man, I know with survivor coming its more work to be added LOL. BTW catwalks are looking sweet. Now Ill be able to do digonal lifts on coasters besides woodies. (drachons orignal layout was better but the lift was digonal so no go for me...)
If you have a chance this weekend thats great but if not thats awsome too. Because the sooner your catwalks come out the sooner I can use them LOL.

[Elf2007]

After looking at that coaster...I don't know. It was just too much of a great coaster. I don't know what to say! It's just one the greatest things I've ever seen! :up: :up:

Can't wait for more!

^^^That's GOD in the form of a rollercoaster :D

i love the maverick inspiration on this coaster!

[RCT Enthusiast]

^^^That's GOD in the form of a rollercoaster :D
Very VERY true.

[disneyland255]

Absolutely wonderful on this coaster. I love how the coaster interacts with the scenery. It is as if the coaster has been there all along! My favorite pictures are the last two. I love how the rocks are in the water in the 4th and I absolutely love how the track goes through the rocks and underneath more track. Beautiful layout, the colors of the track are wonderful, what else can I say...this was definitely worth the wait.

P.s. I am not good at editing...but if you want I can do a video of the ride. Here is the link to other videos I have done for RCT3 and posted on Youtube.

It really looks very good.
But some more bushes in the forest next to the track would be great!

I am going to add that this park is so great, and so big (Almost 12 mb big) that my computer can't even load it! :up:

Well man I really wished you could have opened it. This has got me thinking tho. I might have to break the park down to each section.... (wont be easy nor be any time soon)...
Also thinking of collecting system specs from the few that have tried to open the park up to see whats needed to even get into the park... (Im thinking that would be a first yea?)
I know my system right now is a Intel core 2 dup OC'ed to 3.2GHZ with 2 gigs of ram and a 7950gt video card (256mb) and it takes me around 5 mins to load with a WD raptor HD.. Man This is going to be a ton of work to break it down into sections.... Maybe half the park/ half the park?
I have no idea at this point... Lux said hes got a new pc.. Wonder if he would be willing to beta test it for me?:D

I think it might be a Ram issue. Might need a minimum of 1 GB of ram to open the park... Disneyland255 has 1GB i think and is going to try to get into the park now... If it requires more then 1gb then Ill have to cut it in half or something.. Altho I am wondering why its 12mbs now that CDN1212 said most parks are under 3mbs...

[LightGrenades]

Don't worry, my latest park, somewhere in the deep fathoms of the back pages is currently sitting on 5 mb.

And yes, it is a ram issue, I am currently looking to purchase some more.

What Ill do is have 2 dls for the park.. 1 will be the full park as it is and the other will ahve it broken into 4 sections (as best I can) The second one will be later then the first due to the amount of work ill have to do to break it down...

I want everyone that wants to see the park to be able to.. Without having to upgrade thier PC in order to do so...:(

[kc_rc_fan]

This looks amazing! I love this!! I love the country-esque feel on the old town and the western area. Sidewinder looks awesome!! Also, congrats on making SURVIVOR.

[Zbot]

WOW Judge this park has not ceased to amaze me in every way possible this deserves 5 stars and :up: :up: and do you think 2.4 ghz 2 gig ram and 256 dedicated video on a PCI express will run this park well If it can't this park is still Awesome :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

BTW what CS does this use?

[sub_voyage fan]

Can I see a layout if possible of The Lost City splash boat ride?

[Lux_Dreaming]

OK Judge..send it to me..


I can receive 20mb e-mails....so zip it up...I've got a P-4 Dual Core...with 200GB HD and 4GB DDR RAM...and Banyan Hill in its' current state is 7 mb.....and with the settings at 1280 x 960 (or whatever the 12 x 9 setting is) I'm still getting over 75 fps during the day, and 60 fps at night...in play mode.

I think my machine can handle it.

I think the key is the HD..I crawled in other parks before I upped my HD space (sadly, I only had 40GB and only 5GB of it was free space...now I have about 175GB free space to operate from).

EDIT: Thanks for that ATH.

[LightGrenades]

Might wanna take your email out, unless you want to get a ton of spam from the spam bots.

[RCT3Richie]

Amazing Judge, i can see a patential Survivor Winner already...

[Lux_Dreaming]

OK...Judge sent me the park.... it took about 7 minutes to load it....I had to turn the specs down from my normal building (1280 x 960...or something) to 800 x 600 32Bit to properly look at and ride the rides in this park.....WWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!! I got about 15 fps during the day, and didn't even venture turning on night mode.

Some thoughts...the coasters were top notch....you really should be designing for GCI or B&M....seriously.....your rides are that good.

You have WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY too many trees in your park...in fact, I was able to get about 30 fps by simply removing about half of your trees.........this is not RCT2. The ground texture in this game is not so ugly that it needs to have every square filled....a little breathing room goes a long way....and in peep mode, you can't see a difference...viewing this was a lesson to me as well...I've gone through and deleted a good chunk of extranious trees from Banyan Hill.

The architecture was lovely...question....in the Roman section....was there supposed to be something covering the blocky pathways leading up to the rounded flower beds? If so, I must not have that CS set...which one is it from? Your rapids ride was superb. Your cathedral was amazing, and again...your coasters were A+!!!!!!

Thanks for letting me test it.......if you don't have a VERY strong comp.....forget about even being able to open this puppy...


BTW...how large is the park......it seems HUGE!!!!

[disneyland255]

This is great news to hear! I am so glad you were able to get it open and hopefully functional. What you described sounds wonderful, especially about the coasters and rapids.

Thank you soo much for letting me know it worked for you...:up::up:
Didn't even think about the trees (yes I am used to rct2 LOL).... I will take some out and help speed up the park. The pathway was/is HERE (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=547005). I think thats the pathway cover for that section. (altho without looking at it i may not have used a cover) Its the conforming ones. And the park is 120x120, anymore and the Lag would have killed it for me.... I think I answered all of your questions LOL...
BTW what coaster did you like the most? Im split between Sidewinder and Timber Wolf... (I love a good twister in RL)

As far as updates With survivor phase one finished and whatnot I may have the roman section on tour sometime this week.

[Lux_Dreaming]

Timber Wolf was my favorite coaster...followed by Poseidon...I really dug the inversions before the MCBR...very creative....really that's only 120 x 120....sh*%....I may be removing more than trees with Banyan Hill then...as I think my park is 100 x 100.....crap.

Anyway.....thanks for the link to the path covers.....It was strange...when I was zoomed out, I just thought it was a draw distance thing, but then zoomed in, the paths were very blocky up until the track beds...I really loved the gradual sloping in that area.....very sharp....also, did you use Max Infinity's castle walls? I removed that set due to the error I kept getting with it...that would explain why the Ireland section looked a bit off......finally...the one section of the park that always crawled was around The Legend...not sure why...but I couldn't ride the coaster, even with my settings turned down...it was pretty to look at though. How on earth did you build with the lag..you must have kept the settings at minimum while buildling, right?

Anyway, great park, thanks for sharing.

Yea the castle walls I used was the Max Inifinity set.. Sorry you have problems with the set... Shame you cant see the park with everything in it...
I would agree on Timber Wolf.. I love how that coaster is.. Poseidon was a tad over the top dont ya think? LOL... It is a God of a coaster tho...
As far as settings. I built 90% of the park with max settings.. the western area I had to turn off shadows is all to pick the FPS back up out of the red. I can ride Legend but your right about the lag.. Thinking its because of all the water and whatnot..

But look for an update to the thread tonight as the bugs have been worked out thanks to yourself and many other members. ROMAN TOUR WILL be up within the hour... :D

[disneyland255]

YEAH!!!!!!!

[The Judge]

Well with all of the bugs worked out on with the tour yea? :D

After the roman CS set was finished I thought about going back in and changing the roman section. That didnt happen. I think the roman set is great but I dont have the time to redo an entire area with Rl and survivor jumping all over me..

This part of the tour will cover the Roman area. The areas main attraction is the Dive coaster named Poseidon.. We know that Poseidon was the Greek name for the god of the sea. But we felt that Poseidon was a better name then Neptune..:D.
Here is a shot at one of the two entrances to the Roman Empire from inside of the park.

I really don't know what to say.. and I can't really nitpick either.. so this post is completly worthless except for praising your amazing work. The rapids layout is hands down amazing. I have tried so many times to get a layout I'm happy with on that damn ride.. but it is impossible for me.. And I am so excited for that one hell of a beast you call Poseidon.

[Crowheart]

Wow!

Can't see anything to crit here, it's gorgeous!
The look of it reminds me very much of the Disney Hercules film...a beautiful carciture of Greek life!..:up:

Actually, there's a crit..the Roman name would be Neptune...Poseidon was the Greek name..;)
EDIT: You explained that already...boo me for skimming..:(
Just wonderful looking..(again!)

[SpaceDuck]

I'm sorry but why would you post something so incredibly amazing? Was it because you wanted to make us gawk at the unbelievable detail of every section in the park, or because you just wanted to show off? Either way, I'm giving you a standing ovation...despite the fact I'm sitting down and typing ;)
I only wish I had your talent and patience. The lag alone would kill me. Yay! I'm sooooo watching this. Watch out...your thread has a new stalker :weird:

[disneyland255]

Judge! This new update is wonderful! I love the last picture of the rapids. I love how the rapids swoop down to the level of the walkway and then under the walkway. Beautiful! I'm intrigued as to what Poseidon holds for it travelers......

[Albert Caine]

This is perfect in every way!

[towersdude]

brilliant! i love the diagonallyness of it all! and its layered up to by the looks of that viewing point photo. Rapids look fun (hopefully wet) and cant wait to see Poseidon, is it that big coaster running along the back? I thought that was some sort of Hypercoaster with a vertical drop lol, most dive machines have a curve at the top of the lift for tension
