Fun City! [UPDATE July 16, 2009]

[robbier]

Today, Robbier Parks Company has announced their latest park, "Fun City!"

Fun City's construction is well underway, with the entrance building and entrance pavilion pretty much completed. I was down at the park the other day and was able to grab 10 pictures of the progress.

A picture's comments are below the picture.

^The first sign you see, and the one you see if you go the wrong way :rolleyes:

Thanks for viewing! Please post comments and suggestions.

Looks nice, but get rid of the ingame entrance and the little stairway. The park doesn't look big, so you have to use all the space effectivly.

Robbier, your pictures are too big. Pictures should be no larger than 800 x 600. Please click on the edit button and replace the IMG tags with shot tags. I've done the first one for you so you can see how to do it. Thanks.

[Jacksonbill]

ohh those signs look nice~
I'm looking forward to see this

[robbier]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

@randomperpie: Personally, I like the entrance gates after the parking lot. As for the stairs, are you talking about getting rid of the whole bridge or just smoothing out the part where there are stairs on it?

@Jacksonbill: Thanks! Glad you like it!

@biogal: Thanks for the heads up, I have resized them to 800x600 and will be sure to resize them in the future.


A new update will be posted later tonight. The guest services building, restrooms, and the park's first ride have been built.

The rides name is "The Little Dipper." Bet you can't guess what type it is!

See you tonight!

Well I'm guessing it's not a Giant Wooden coaster... :rolleyes:

I really like what is happening so far. Can't wait to see more! ;):up:

[robbier]

^You've got it! It's a classic, white wooden roller coaster; it's only about 50 feet tall. It's like the kind you'd see on boardwalks and such.

Here is the update:

I think the coaster fits into the park nicely, but the park is terribly flat. You should do something about that.

[Santas Helpers]

^You've got it! It's a classic, white wooden roller coaster; it's only about 50 feet tall. It's like the kind you'd see on boardwalks and such.
I was right!?!?!?!:haha:

The dipper could look a little bigger, but I still like it!

There must be a Big Dipper in the making?

[robbier]

@ThrillRider27: I am not sure what to do about the park being flat.

I am thinking about terraforming as I go, or maybe making the park hilly right now.


@Santas Helpers: Although it won't be constructed for a while, there definitely is a big dipper in the making.

More to come.

This is not bad, but it is not great either. To start off I would like to applaud you for your great signage. Good job there :up: However there are some things that are bothering me. As said above the park is too flat, you'd be surpirsed what a little terraforming can do. Another thing is your landscaping. Those palms are getting used to many times I suggest downloading Oldspices tropical trees. Little dipper is okay, but what is with the bamboo? It doesn't match the rest of the park.

With that said I hope you will improve the park and look forward to following this park for many updates to come. :up:

[robbier]

Thanks for the comments LoneWolf7,

Glad you like the signs!

I have taken note on the terraforming of the park and the trees.

In the next update, there will be some terraforming, and I will download OldSpice's tropical trees and use them from now on to vary it up. The theme is mildly tropical. I think the bamboo and palm trees fit into the tropical theme nicely.

Stay tuned!

Looks nice, my only question is why did you use the underwater paths for that bridge?

[robbier]

Looks nice, my only question is why did you use the underwater paths for that bridge?

When I started to build the path above the ground, all of the sudden the glass tubing appeared around it. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be, however there could be a way to turn the glass tubing off. If there is please let me know, I would like to have that bridge without the glass.

Thanks for the comments and I'm glad you liked it,
Robbier

[Glsbnewt21]

Robbier, you're using an underwater path on the bridge. There's several path types. (asphalt, crazy pavement, sand, dirt, etc.) you see them in the paths menu. If you delete the bridge you have now and use crazy pavement or some other path type, you won't have the glass. The underwater path is used for paths that go underwater. (It looks fine if you don't raise it above the ground though. It only becomes glass covered when it's raised.)

Also, you probably shouldn't reply until you're ready to post an update, that way you don't have to ask someone to post so that you don't double post. You can just multi-quote the replies and reply to them all in your update instead of replying to each individual comment.
