Collinas Del Mediterraneo A park by Gibbs, Luke and FD7~Update 16: Last Atari update

[FlyingDutchman7]

Yes, it’s here Collinas Del Mediterraneo! After we’ve won the Summer Showdown 2009 we (Gibbs, Luke and me) decided to post this park on the forums because there is much more in this park than you’ve already seen. I’ll be giving you the updates. Most pics are taken by me, but because I can’t open the last file of the park on a reasonable quality I had to ask Sam to take some pics for me. He took some pics of the structures, that he had made. On this pics there isn’t anything of the rest of the park to see. He had build the entrance plaza, the water park area and the plaza around the slammer ride. (You can recognize his pics by the size: his pics are 800x600, mine 800x500 ;))

The reason why we couldn’t post better pics of the park for the voting round for the SS ’09 was that we couldn’t get the file opened. Ranger was so kind to take pics of the park, but he couldn’t take them at a high quality, unfortunately. Plus, he didn’t have one of Ckef’s sets installed, so some buildings looked really strange, we’ve used his sets a lot.

I’d like to thank Sam and Luke for all the input into this huge project and I hope you’ll all enjoy the park! Oh, everything you see here has been build in those 6 weeks of competition, we haven’t added anything after that!)

So, because this is the first post, I’ll begin with the entrance area!

Welcome to the Mediterranean! Welcome to Colinas del Meditteraneo!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7186.jpg
Enter through the archways to begin your adventure at Colinas del Mediterraneo.

The sight of this planter is the welcoming view of the park. Hidden within the foliage are four statues of lions and horses.

A look to the left of the Spanish plaza. On the left is a small Spanish cafe and in the distance the season pass booth can be seen.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7401.jpg
The inside of the Spanish cafe! There is plenty of room to sit, you can even sit up at the bar on the stools and chat with your waiter. ;)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7403.jpg
This spanish cafe provides a really nice escape from the rush of the park, being so close to the entrance this cafe is usually left quite empty most of the day whilst everyone rushes round to all the rides.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7194.jpg
Another shot of the plaza area. On the left the quaint cafe can be seen, on the right is the food stall and a small fascade between the two. We’ll come to that stall later.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7427.jpg
The exit and spanish cafe caught in the same shot.

Night sets in over the plaza.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7196.jpg
A look down the left of the plaza, the "gate" out of the plaza towards the slammer area can be seen in the back of the pic.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7347.jpg
Looking back towards the entrance.

The next update I’ll show you some more of this plaza. BTW: I hope I can update this more regularly than my own parks.

[SVT 305]

I'm still blown away at the amount of detail you guys were able to put into this. My hat is off to you. It was fun competing against you as well! I'll give a full review at a later time. Still, wow! :)

[Gluesniffa]

Its all so colorful, and amazing. It blends really nicely, and the amount of detail just leaves me in shock for that amount of time you had. I'm really liking that centerpiece too! :heart:

[SaladFingers.]

Beats my Spanish park :bored: :haha:

[sykesie-92]

6 bloody weeks! :O
Astonishing work!
Sam beats up kids in parks whist luke sells drugs to them.

[RangerStudios]

Finally get to see this park in its full glory. Really like the last pic for some reason, idk maybe it has something to due with that sun. I am really looking forward to seeing the darkride I wasn't able to see when I was taking photos. Also the boardwalk, will be cool to see with reflective water.

Edit: I just wondering... how does it run for you, is it a super lag *****, or do you have one of those super computers that can handle anything?

[leonidasrctgeek]

WOW omg, best meditarian park a have ever seen... no It´s one of the Besst parks I have ever seen, great amount of details,

seriously the bEST!!

keep up the good work!

[iDelphi]

Feels like I am there.

[Jacksonbill]

Looks like a great start!
Buildings look good, but I think the entrance is kinda dull compare to other buildings

[Deepo1]

I really love that theme ! (I live next to spain, and I'm one hour far from mediterrenean)
the amount of details Is huge ! also, it's really nice to see the originality you put in this !
I really can't wait to see more of this !

btw: Can I ask in wich set the table and chair are from (inside the spanish cafe) ?

[Chapman278]

WHY SO LITTLE REPLIES!?

Now for my little reply,

Stunning work.

[Jonnyears]

This is really impressive. I love all the foliage, especially in the 3rd picture, very realistic. :up:

[rctroker]

I wonder if Gay Snake can be rehoused here?

[themeparklover]

The buildings are all very intricate and detailed, but I'm not too big a fan of the varied architecture styles and designs. Unless the story is something along the lines of a melting pot of cultures or a shipwrecked island with the structures built entirely from the wreckage, it doesn't seem to fit in anyway. Just my thoughts.

[angryemobeaver]

Looks pretty good, way better than what I could ever do. One thing I don't like is the castle church looking building, a little too random. Other than that building I like the rest, I'm interested in what type of park this will be. That last photo looks real by the way!

[MagicMan]

OMG!! This just looks amazing. I love everything about it...such great details.

[FlyingDutchman7]

I'm still blown away at the amount of detail you guys were able to put into this. My hat is off to you. It was fun competing against you as well! I'll give a full review at a later time. Still, wow!
Thanks! You were a great competitor too!

Its all so colorful, and amazing. It blends really nicely, and the amount of detail just leaves me in shock for that amount of time you had. I'm really liking that centerpiece too!
Thanks! (well, actually Sam should thank you cause everything you see here was made by him.

Beats my Spanish park
haha!

Yeah, it was a lot of work. Really?

Edit: I just wondering... how does it run for you, is it a super lag *****, or do you have one of those super computers that can handle anything?
Yeah, it looks awesome! For me it runs just fine, well, the last file that I had sent to Sam (I was on a holiday after that) These pics were made by Sam, these are all his structures. But, the last version, with everything in it, lags awfully, my CPU can't handle it.

Nice feeling, isn't it?

Thanks! We've been to the Mediterranean several times, so we kinda know how it looks like there really well. That is from Eddi22's Italian road café set.

Ahem...

This isn't the place to be spamming.
Yes, indeed...

The buildings are all very intricate and detailed, but I'm not too big a fan of the varied architecture styles and designs. Unless the story is something along the lines of a melting pot of cultures or a shipwrecked island with the structures built entirely from the wreckage, it doesn't seem to fit in anyway. Just my thoughts.
Thanks! If you say that I'm afraid you haven't seen much of my projects... I vary my buildings very much. And Sam made this plaza with the idea that it should look like my buildingstyle, so it should look like the boardwalk (which was made by me for the biggest part) Plus: that's Spanish style.

Looks pretty good, way better than what I could ever do. One thing I don't like is the castle church looking building, a little too random. Other than that building I like the rest, I'm interested in what type of park this will be. That last photo looks real by the way!
Thanks! Could be... It's your opinion... Of course it will be a Mediterranean park :P

OMG!! This just looks amazing. I love everything about it...such great details.
Thank you very much!

I hate you for making my park look like crap:bored::haha:

[Gluesniffa]

I spy a sky swat!

-EDIT- And it looks awesome. Really intrigued to see an overview. =D

[colbycx]

WOW. This is fantastic, everything is so detailed! I envy your building skills.

[RangerStudios]

You were running out of captions wern't you. :haha::haha:


"More morning plaza."

"More plazaness!"

"More sunrise on the plaza!"

"More lions in the plaza!"

[rct3kinger]

The layout of the park is great,&&i would love to see some rides

Yep, that's what next update's about. Um... an overview. I hope I'll be able to make one on the end of this...

WOW. This is fantastic, everything is so detailed! I envy your building skills.
Thanks!

You were running out of captions wern't you. :haha::haha:


"More morning plaza."

"More plazaness!"

"More sunrise on the plaza!"

"More lions in the plaza!"
Well, yeah... But, it wasn't me who made the captions, it was Sam :D. I only had to paste them together to make an update. It's just a coincidence that there are some many "More..." captions in that update.

The layout of the park is great,&&i would love to see some rides
Thanks! Oh, you haven't seen much of the park yet, there's so much more! And what I've shown you till now is more a basic plaza, so I'm not really sure if the layout is already great.

Update 2: 10-13-09

Hello everyone! Today I’ll show you more of the Spanish area. I’ll show you some pics of the area of the Slammer, but I won’t show you the Slammer itself yet, those pics are for the next update, otherwise there’d be too much pics in this update and I can’t just put some pics out of the update because they are just too beautiful to don’t show them.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7429.jpg
This gate connecting the slammer and plaza area houses telephones!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7431.jpg
Lookng through the archway down the plaza.


Before I go further with more pics I have to say some words about the history of this part of the park. Once upon a time… there was a village in the Mediterranean. (Duh!) The village was well maintained to give the village a pristine look! It was once a place of happiness, full of people... until the snakes came! Lead by the Sonaron (a coaster that I will show you soon (although I’m not able to make pics of it :bulb:)) snake the village was overrun! All of its citizens rush away from the village, shocked by the many snakes! The Sonaron snake claimed the village for itself. Overtime the area became overgrown, leaving the area uninhabited by humans. The Aplastar, which means crush or overwhelm in Spanish, is situated near the park entrance and remains the most intact section of the area with its many towers, most of which remain clean. The rest of the story will be told when I am showing you the coaster etc. (this story was made by Sam)


http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7337.jpg
A look at the exit building of the Slammer ride and surrounding facades.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7204.jpg
This small stall can be found at the entrance to the slammer ride called Apalastar. The theming of the area can be seen towering behind it.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7332.jpg
The sun sets behind Apalastar!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7377.jpg
The slammer interior queueline! You can see toppled chairs and tables as people rushed away from their previous home.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7379.jpg
More queueline.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7235.jpg
This basement like room is the final section of the slammer queueline. The ride operator controls who may enter! ;) The broken table, toppled chairs and broken chest (seen on the left) are a vague continuation of the deserted theme.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7385.jpg
Welcome to Apalastar! The end...... of the queueline.

[Moby]

Great buildings. The picture editing has payed off, when used.

This one we never got the park download, unless i'm mistaken.
Can we expect to get it in this thread?

[UltraRobbie]

The theming on this is incredible :eek:

[Gluesniffa]

Love all the buildings still. The queue looks very interesting too.

[CoasterDude5]

Nice work, FD7, I like the way that you'ved intricately combined various CS sets to achieve this area of the park. Keep up the good work!

[royse888]

This is one of the most well themed parks I've seen. I love how there is always a building on the side of the path and it looks just like a city.

[03gibbss]

Hey! No update today but I just wanted to reply to some of the comments you have all made here! :) But before that I just want to say that it was a lot of fun taking part in this years Summer Showdown and to get to work with FD7 and Luke was just awesome! :up: I really like the park we developed and glad to see we've finally been able to show you more of park that we were unfortunate enough to show you all before! I still don't understand how we won as there was so much missing from our park's submission, but throughout this thread we'll hopefully be able to show some parts of the park that you won't have seen in our submission! :) Believe me, these first lot of updates are just a small section of the park! ;)

I'm still blown away at the amount of detail you guys were able to put into this. My hat is off to you. It was fun competing against you as well! I'll give a full review at a later time. Still, wow! :)

Thanks a lot SVT, it was great to compete against everyone, some fantastic parks from every team this time round! But wheres that full review?! ;)

Finally get to see this park in its full glory. Really like the last pic for some reason, idk maybe it has something to due with that sun. I am really looking forward to seeing the darkride I wasn't able to see when I was taking photos. Also the boardwalk, will be cool to see with reflective water.

Edit: I just wondering... how does it run for you, is it a super lag *****, or do you have one of those super computers that can handle anything?

I'd just like to thank you again Ranger for taking all those pictures for the SS submission! :) As FD7 has said, no-one has yet to see the full park with half decent graphics! ;)

Looks like a great start!
Buildings look good, but I think the entrance is kinda dull compare to other buildings

Thanks, and looking back the entrance is quite dull in comparision, but it was one of the last buildings of the plaza to be complete, and with such a short timeframe you've just got to build what you can, rather than waiting for a better idea to come along. I also would have liked to had a "pre-plaza" area with ticket booths, toilets etc. But there was a lack of space (due to the 90x90 size or whatever the requirements were) as well as a lack of time.

The buildings are all very intricate and detailed, but I'm not too big a fan of the varied architecture styles and designs. Unless the story is something along the lines of a melting pot of cultures or a shipwrecked island with the structures built entirely from the wreckage, it doesn't seem to fit in anyway. Just my thoughts.

Thanks, this is the only "Spanish" inspired area of the park so I wanted to incorporate as much as possible into the plaza hence the mix of styles, colours etc. I'll link this into angryemobeaver's comment below...

Looks pretty good, way better than what I could ever do. One thing I don't like is the castle church looking building, a little too random. Other than that building I like the rest, I'm interested in what type of park this will be. That last photo looks real by the way!

...The castle building was one of the first buildings included in the plaza area, I'll admit that when looking for inspiration for the Spanish Plaza I had a look at CD5's spanish park and during the first lot of pages everyone was hoping for a castle type structure to the amount of castles in Spain. I took this idea and inplemented it into the plaza to represent the spanish castles, the details in the interior of the castle cafe building hopefully link it to the plaza a bit more.

You were running out of captions wern't you. :haha::haha:


"More morning plaza."

"More plazaness!"

"More sunrise on the plaza!"

"More lions in the plaza!"

:p We/I kind of went overboard on the pictures, after I sent my pictures to FD7 he edited some and sent back around 100 pictures which I then wrote comments for... Hence "More morning plaza", "More plazaness!" as we really just wanted to get this thread up as soon as possible! :p

Great buildings. The picture editing has payed off, when used.

This one we never got the park download, unless i'm mistaken.
Can we expect to get it in this thread?

Thanks Moby, I'd really like to get this park up for download either during the course of the updates or more likely once the updates are complete and see if anyone can get this park running as none of us have been able to get the final version running well on our computers. So hopefully there will be a download once we repackage the park to include a better CS list etc, I think FD7 feels the same way.

Nice work, FD7, I like the way that you'ved intricately combined various CS sets to achieve this area of the park. Keep up the good work!

Thanks CoasterDude! I should probably just explain how the workload was sort of divided out. At the start of the competition our team consisted of myself, FD7 and RCTExtremist, Extremist had lots of problems towards the start of the competition, such as no internet, and had to be dropped without having contributed any work unfortunately. I was still in school and it was quite busy so I found I didn't have much time for anything else. After deciding on a Medditterean theme FD7 began work on a boardwalk and I built the resturant for the first challenge. The majority of the work on the boardwalk (yet to be seen) is done by FD7 with a small contributions from myself. FD7 then designed the family area for the second challenge, whilst I themed the kiddy coaster (which was eventually finished off by FD7 when I hit computer problems). Next was challenge four which was the waterpark, which came out rather poorly in our park it must be said. It was mostly built by myself with supports being done by luke. We unfortunately had to get rid of a vineyards (which FD7 built) to make space for the waterpark, hopefully we'll show you this somewhere, although there are already pictures around! ;) We then built the spanish entrance plaza which was mostly designed by myself (except one building by FD7 which has yet been seen, I'm not sure if there will be pictures of this...) Luke was brought into the team a few weeks before the end when FD7 went on holiday so that I wasn't left to finish the park by myself. We had yet to build the challenge 3 coaster so luke was put in charge of building, supporting and adding foliage for the coaster. I then built the station and a few structures for the coaster. The slammer area and top spin ride were also designed by myself. This was definately a group project which each of us adding our own ideas to each others designs and was an even work spread between myself and FD7, and we couldn't have finished without Luke's help at the end!

Basically what I wanted to say is the majority of what you've seen so far is designed by myself with influence's from FD7 and Luke and you'll soon see the area's with the majority of the work done by FD7, prepare for some good work! ;)


Thanks to everyone who has commented so far and to all the other teams! Feel free to ask any questions you might have and keep watching! =D

Sam of Two Crumpets and a Windmill!

[kraken613]

Wow, that's some amazing detail! It must have taken forever to do! I can't wait to see some rides as it expands! It is sure to have the WOW factor!

[FlyingDutchman7]

^Thanks! No, it only took 6 weeks :D.

We took this sensible shot from the roof to show a closer look at the details surrounding the slammer ride. Isn’t it beautiful?

Early morning at Apalastar!

The desertation of the village can be seen more clearly here with the overgrowing bushes by the slammer ride. On the right is the ride exit.

Let’s end the update with two nighty pics. This one is from Apalastar's theming and mechanics.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7363-1.jpg
Isn’t Apalastar beautiful at night?

The next update I’ll try to show you something of the coaster.

[Czekierski.]

This Park is really gorgeous, I just can´t absorb all the detail in those pictures. I especially like the control roon, it adds a lot of realism! Can´t wait for a new update! The Goat is so sweet as well!

[RCT3Callum]

Woww this park is absolutely incredible! :D
The amount of detail put into everything, and the remarkable way that everything just fits so perfectly, was what made me vote for this park in the first place. And wow, you haven't disappointed the second time around. :D

[Rct3Mike]

That looks so beautiful! I love how it interacts with the path out front, while being cozily crammed between 2 buildings. Great job, the detail is incredible:D

[KKJohn]

fantastic !!!!

Thanks for voting for us! And thanks for the comment.

Thanks! Yeah, the amount of detail in the park is big yeah, maybe a bit too big. We don't know anyone who can run the whole park at a high quality.

fantastic !!!!
Thanks!

Update 4: 10-26-09

Hey everyone! This update will be all about a Top Scan and the queue from the coaster: Sonoran.
The top scan sits near the boardwalk, slightly more overgrown than the Apalastar section.
The Sonaron coaster sits between Apalastar and a Top Scan. It has erupted into a hugely overgrown jungle over the years!
Many snakes live within the jungle, so watch your feet! ;-)
The Sonaron station building has been influenced by the theme resulting in the tiled bricks mimicking the snakes scales, the red eyes of the many snakes!
The exterior of the building is overrun with vines and the interior of the station building is full of overgrown shrubbery, mossy walls and vines to build further upon the theme!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7040.jpg
As a continuation of the coaster theme we (Sam and Luke) decided to build a top scan ride. The ride is called Araña, which translated means Spider. Surrounded by more Mediterranean styled buildings the overgrown foliage is enhabited by the spiders.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7511.jpg
Theming! This overgrown area, complete with skeltons, is situated opposite the entranceway.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7507.jpg
Sonoran's "grand" entrance! ;-)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7525.jpg
Watch the floor for snakes, especially those gaps in the floor! :confused:

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7521-1.jpg
Danger! Overgrown station area! Watch out for the snakes!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7523.jpg
Shrubs are growing through the floor here! Boarded up windows, vines growing on the walls outside, mossy walls, overgrown-ness!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7529-1.jpg
More snakes and the doorway leading to stairs towards the coaster!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7531.jpg
Through the archway and up the stairs to ride Sonaron!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7533.jpg
Up the stairs to board!

Upstairs station theming! Watch the completely safe gaps in the floor! ;-)

Coaster and ceiling beams to support that roof!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7539-1.jpg
More coaster!

Store your bags here before riding the park's inverted coaster!

Next time I’ll show you the exterior of the station building and the coaster itself!

[tigerlemurguy]

Fantastic update guys, sorry I haven't got round to comment on this.

Aaplastar: Frankly that is the best themed S&S Sky Swatter I have seen, I love the location, the compactness definitely adds to the intensity of the ride, a job well done guys!

Top Spin: Another well themed flat ride, though I'm not sure if Health and Safety would allow all those weeds ;) For me theming adds so much to the ride experience and this is something you have really highlighted in your park, it really makes that little bit of difference. Hats off to you guys!

Invert: Judging from the queue this is going to be a masterpiece! The queue is detailed but not too over done so to make it unrealistic. Two little bits of criticism... Those shelves look like they need to be a little thicker, they look rather small for a bag to go on, I'm not sure if that can sorted. Finally I'm not sure about this but on the inverts I have seen the coaster is usually connected to the ceiling so to support its weight, that may be something you may want to add for realism, but its not a biggie.

[KiDFoX]

Good work on this, it is really a nice looking park. I really like the interior of the Spanish Cafe.

Not sure I have ever seen that scenery used in the sky swat control room before but it looks great the way you combined it with the surrounding buildings.

[Nemesis Inferno]

The Sky Swat is awesome, it doesn't look cramped and in fact more imposing as you'd only see the top slightly over the buildings...

I look forward to the Invert...

[SaladFingers.]

Lovely:heart: I love the snake story + the queue and station for the new coaster.

[chrisy177]

Bloody hell, you made me look through the Summer Showdown Threads! Dammit this was good! :p

[-Zurg]

Incredible. Everything in the previous pages was perfect, I can't believe the amount of detail you guys put in the park with just 6 weeks. The only thing that doesn't look so good is Sonoran (or Sonaron?) entrance, I presume it was because of the lack of time. However the queue is great!

Being I a spanish speaker as I am, I find really funny that you used common words like Araña or A(a)plastar to name your rides. I guess that, to non-spanish speakers they sound really good. :p

[sammas1324]

Nice park all the theming is brilliant

[Gluesniffa]

Looking great guys! Cannot wait to see the coaster itself! Very inspiring too. ;)

[supercoolsuper]

Love the compact city look it has to it but some of the buildings have a little too much repetition in my opinion. The colors are very strong and distinct yet it blends in very well with its surroundings. Overall its a 5 star park.

[Jacksonbill]

wow, what a detail!! this owns....
great mixture of cs and brilliant architecture.

[MagicMan]

Wow!! Everything here looks amazing. Great detail too.

[gamer2456]

Awesome park and this look great on all detail you put in to this.

[Ligestio]

Love the buildings , it's amazing , I love !

Thanks tigerlemurguy! Health and Safety would have to let us put all those weeds in once they saw the concept art! ;):p The sheves are one piece of CS so we can't really change that and the invert is connected to the ceiling... The supports are just see-through so that they don't ruin the effect of the beams on the ceiling! ;)

Good work on this, it is really a nice looking park. I really like the interior of the Spanish Cafe.

Not sure I have ever seen that scenery used in the sky swat control room before but it looks great the way you combined it with the surrounding buildings.

Thanks a lot! The control room for the sky swat was sort of a last minute thing for that attraction, just thought when it was nearly finished that we might as well make use of the two surrounding buildings so we just put a few control panels in! :p

The Sky Swat is awesome, it doesn't look cramped and in fact more imposing as you'd only see the top slightly over the buildings...

Thanks -Zurg! =D The Sonoran entrance isn't particuarly grand, though it did look better with all the foliage surrounding it I can assure you! Araña and Apalastar sound awesome! ;D Despite being very simple! :p

Nice park all the theming is brilliant

Cheers!

Looking great guys! Cannot wait to see the coaster itself! Very inspiring too. ;)

Thanks Gluesniffa, hopefully we'll have a few coaster pics to satisfy you, but its the one we've had most trouble getting pics of...

Love the compact city look it has to it but some of the buildings have a little too much repetition in my opinion. The colors are very strong and distinct yet it blends in very well with its surroundings. Overall its a 5 star park.

Thanks a lot! =D Are there any particular buildings you think are repeative? Or is it just because we've used mainly the same windows and ideas for each building? :p

wow, what a detail!! this owns....
great mixture of cs and brilliant architecture.

Thanks Jacksonbill! =)

Wow!! Everything here looks amazing. Great detail too.

Cheers! ;D

Awesome park and this look great on all detail you put in to this.

Thanks gamer!

Love the buildings , it's amazing , I love !

Hopefully we'll be bringing you another update soon guys! ;D

Update 5: 11-03-09

Hello everyone! Today I’ll show you the coaster, Sonoran. There are some pics without the coaster, with only the station on it, those are Sam’s pics. He was unable to have the full coaster on his computer. I’ve been able to make some pics of the coaster. But, those were made at a lower quality (anti-aliasing off, no reflective water etc.) and they show the unfinished coaster (no trees, unfinished queue etc.), because I couldn’t load the last park file, so this is an earlier version. There are also two pics that were made by Ranger, for the actual submission, so those two shots show the whole coaster, as it is in the final version of the park.

So, let’s begin with some exterior pics of the station:

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7498.jpg
A look at the inverted station structure, sorry for the lack of surroundings! :(

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7502.jpg
Enter the station building through the archway! Watch out as you venture through this crumbling overgrown structure! Avoid the snakes! ;-)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7515.jpg
Nighttime exterior!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7519.jpg
More nighttime exterior!!

A structual shot of a building which the coaster travels through! ;-)

The station with its surroundings (pic by Ranger)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0763.jpg
Before the trains go to the lift hill, they first go through two helixes. This is the second one, here you can almost touch the buildings of the Spanish plaza, of the village.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0765.jpg
After the lift hill, there’s a long, winding way down. The drop hill is like a snake!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0764.jpg
A shot seen from above. This shot shows really well how winding the drop is. After the drop you go through some caves, like a snake. After all, Sonoran’s supposed to BE a snake!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0767.jpg
The snake is winding through the caves. Can you spot the train?

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0136.jpg
An awesome overbanked turn! (pic by Ranger)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0768.jpg
Sonoran interacts with the path a few times.

The exit stairs past the snakes hiding in the castle wall arches! ;-)

[nightshift___:)]

Ooooh it looks so nice.

[SaladFingers.]

I love this park so much, everything about it is wonderful. I was just thinking though, wouldn't the G's be a little too high on that drop, it seems the curve gets smaller to me, but ah well, looks magnificent anyway. I like the dives under the briges and all the rocks and foliage you have implemented into the ride, gives it a terrain hugging feel:) Just wondering, are you carrying this theme throughout the whole park or just the entrance/first section?

[Gluesniffa]

Well just... wow. Haha looking great gentlemen! :D

[grrt]

That is seriously like the best invert I've seen. I LOVE that drop, so creative and well put together. Wish I could compliment more, but you know what you did right. Excellent work. Shaping up to be one of the best parks on here. You did a great job with choosing people with varied skills to make such an overall great park.

[RangerStudios]

That is probably the best picture I got that day...

Loved the coaster, I like how you made the coaster unique by not adding any inversions.

Edit: Oh my mom just told me why my 8 year old computer runs so well. Apperently when we bought the computer they told us that it was ment to be a server, not a home computer.

[KingVeveraine]

Finally I'm not sure about this but on the inverts I have seen the coaster is usually connected to the ceiling so to support its weight.

It's actually connected to a series of I beam arch chambers that the rest of the station is built around and commonly structualy unconnected to.

But I love the park! It's subtly lovely.

[FlyingDutchman7]

Ooooh it looks so nice.
Thanks!

Thanks! I don't think that the G's will be a bit too high: I've seen more coasters like this. This theme was just for this coaster and the section around Apalastar

Haha, yeah. That's why I put it into the update :up: Thanks! We weren't allowed to make an inversion. Haha, yeah, your computer is really good for that age!

Update 6: 11-12-09

Hello everyone! Today I’ll show you the right side of the Spanish plaza on our way to the pool complex!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7316.jpg
On the opposite side of the entrance there is a gate. This gate leads to the way to the boardwalk.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0770.jpg
This is a shot from the opposite side of the gate. (remember that this pic is low quality because it was taken by me)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7318.jpg
More Spanish beauty!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7320.jpg
The sun peeking in behind the plaza planter!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7423.jpg
Plaza planter goodness!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7419.jpg
The sun begins to rise behind the horse's gate. (sorry about the fences in the opening of the gate, these pics were made by Gibbs and he couldn't load the whole park, only his own structures)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7421.jpg
The horse's close up.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0762.jpg
The right side of the Spanish plaza. The left building is a toilet building (that’s the only building in the Spanish section that was made by me) the middle building is the entrance to the pool complex and the right building is a beautiful gift shop. (I’m sorry I forgot to take some more shots of that) (remember that this pic is low quality because it was taken by me)

The next time I’ll show you the pool complex at daylight.

[scfjunkie]

It looks great =)

Love the Details you put in every single structure.. amazing...

The only Things I miss are turnstyles or somethink similar to divide Park and Pool Complex a bit..

But anyways, it's a great park and I'm looking forward to see more =)

[FlyingDutchman7]

Thanks! Um... yeah, you might have a point there. I think too you shouldn't be able to go to the pool without changing your clothes.

The entrance to the pool complex, as seen from the pool complex.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0742.jpg
The pool that is made on the hill. There is also a small gift shop with inflatables etc.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0760.jpg
A big tower with stairs in it and all the slides that are going from it. (note that the foliage wasn’t finished in this version of the park)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7611.jpg
The slide tower! You may have seen this before in our entry... but this time the arches are there! (Ranger didn’t have Ckef’s set)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7549.jpg
The slide tower towers over its surroundings!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7551.jpg
This slide gives you some great shots, so let’s follow that slide! Out the station to begin the ride!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7613.jpg
First turn with the tower in the background! =D

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7565.jpg
Water through the windows!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7545.jpg
Raft slide is now orange and looking slick!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7573.jpg
Sliding past the foliage through more structures.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7563.jpg
Through the S-bend!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0758.jpg
Weeeee! Then the raft goes into a pool.

Next time I’ll show you some night shots!

[liamrocks]

That yellow slide, OUCH! Huge drop then turn :p

Anyhoo, I really like how it meets an ancient southern Spain feel. Great work Team Crumpet!

[ronspear]

I Love That Park! The Raft Slide Looks Great! Waiting For More!
And A Question: Where Did You Get Those Curved Walls Near The Lifeguards?

[FlyingDutchman7]

That yellow slide, OUCH! Huge drop then turn :p

Anyhoo, I really like how it meets an ancient southern Spain feel. Great work Team Crumpet!
Um... yeah... It could hurt, but it's fun :D! Oh, thanks but ehm... It's Team two Crumpets and a Windmill!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

I Love That Park! The Raft Slide Looks Great! Waiting For More!
And A Question: Where Did You Get Those Curved Walls Near The Lifeguards?
Thank you very much! Those are from The Cook's Stucco & Brick Walls ;).

[liamrocks]

I thought it was 2 windmills and a crumpet. :p

[03gibbss]

^ It was but then we switched Extremist for Luke making it Two Crumpets and a Windmill!

[FFl0o]

WOOOOW, it's wonderful !!
I loooove the pic of the lazy river, with all the palm-trees !
The decor is so detailed and so beautiful, keep it up ! :)

[SaladFingers.]

Very nice. The slides look really cool! I really like the pic taken from through the foliage, it's beautiful! Great job!

Hello and Eagle Parks will happily give you 700 dollars in search for a better camera. You will stun all of us if you buy the right one. I hope you use the money wisely!

[SVT 305]

The slide complex looks great... It's something that you guys kinda glossed over in the initial presentation, so it's nice to see it here, in all of it's glory.

[pearljamrox91]

The best family raft/tube slide I've seen in the forums, bravo!

[Gluesniffa]

The raft ride and the lazy river both look outstanding. The yellow slide, I am not a fan of though. It doesn't look right, haha. Everything else is great though. Really nice theming all around. The rocks looks great and everything is just so good.

[Universal Park]

This is one of the best Parks I have seen on the forums. Keep up the great work! Very elite.

[The Ghost]

You see, it's parks like these that make me not even consider touching RCT3 again. I can honestly say I'm extremly jealous.

[FlyingDutchman7]

WOOOOW, it's wonderful !!
I loooove the pic of the lazy river, with all the palm-trees !
The decor is so detailed and so beautiful, keep it up ! :)
Thank you very much!

Very nice. The slides look really cool! I really like the pic taken from through the foliage, it's beautiful! Great job!
Thanks!

Mmm... that isn't really a bad offer! I'll think of it!

Thanks! Well, yeah, I think it would have looked better in the whole park.

Haha! I've got that same feeling too when I see e.g. Masked's parks.

Update 8: 11-27-09

Hello everyone! I’m sorry for the delay, WS ’09 has come a bit too much into my planning. Today I’ll show you some great night shots of the pool complex!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7590.jpg
Statues in the station! More lions! =D

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7586.jpg
The drop out of the station.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot6731.jpg
Straight after a short drop out of the station, the rafts travel through a small structure, past the coral and palm trees.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot6729.jpg
This is the surroundings of the first turn. The atlantis beams hang over the slide and are used to support the rides lighting. Hidden in the foliage a statue can be seen.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot6727.jpg
After the first turn the rafts slide past the "waterfall" building.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7593.jpg
Another shot of the waterfall building.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7580.jpg
You’re definitely getting wet in this ride.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot7598.jpg
More sliding!

Next time I’ll show you some of the Italian part of this park!

[UltraRobbie]

WOW! That is The best raft ride I have ever seen! That would be so much fun to ride!

[MaistroDavid]

wow, this is beoyond beautifull!
Great job!

[Czekierski.]

The best thing I like about this park is the overdetailed vegetation, I've never seen anything like it! I'd love to take a ride on those rafts.

[SaladFingers.]

That ride looks amazing! Really good job guys:up:

[Muffinzz]

This park is great! I love how much detail you put in to everything, it gives this park it's own atmosphere. Those rafts also look great!

[ronspear]

Wooooohoooooooo!!! I want a videooooo!!!!!
That ride looks great! I wish to be in that park! :)

[pearljamrox91]

More awesomeness!

[03gibbss]

Hey everyone, I haven't posted here for a while but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who is commenting, your posts are appreciated! :) I also wanted to give my thanks to FD7 who frequently updates this thread on behalf of the team! :up: Keep the comments coming! ;)

[themeparklover]

Quite a few things to comment on:

-The waterpark is very lush and beautiful; great variety of trees and plants.
-The roller coaster's station and queue are very-well done- I especially like the red eyes
-The coaster's drop seems a tad unrealistic, although that may just be my opinion
-The horses on the entrance archway are a nice touch

Besides all that, the park looks fantastic.

[RangerStudios]

What do you mean "besides all that" all those you mentioned where positives, except the third one... :p:haha:

Looks great guys, extremely well detailed.

Haha, thanks! Well, maybe that's the reason my computer can't handle the full park, the vegetation is just way too detailed. Don't expect a POV of this :-(

Thanks! I'm sorry, I can't film this. Maybe you gotta ask Sam, but it won't look as good as it is at the end (when I'll put this park up for download)

More awesomeness!
Haha, here's coming even more awesomeness!

(Moved update to next page)

[SaladFingers.]

Very good idea with the Splash Battle! The new area looks great, I love the colours in the park. Can I just ask, what set are the flags and the curvy path covers from?

[leonidasrctgeek]

this is amazing! every screen is just art.. is dat a B&M track for that kiddie? never saw that before..
the buidlings are great, but I'm truely amazed by the youse of nature in this park.. It's a huge factor giving that spannish-mediterian feeling.. almost tropic, I really like that!

about the screens: the effects on the screens are great, they really create more depth in the pic's, but maybe you're taking this "dark-effect"a bit too far.. I would really like to see some brighter screens, Isn't spain the country of the son? xD maybe it's just me, but the dark effect makes everything a bit depressing.. I would try some over-lighted screens to reflect the climate of the meditirian regiones..

But this is actually my number 1 park now! I love the theme! keep the good stuff coming!

[FlyingDutchman7]

Thanks. The flags are from Ckef's Tropical Detail set and the curvy path covers are from Mr. PKI's Coaster Tunnels.

Thank you very much. Well, yeah, that's kind of a B&M track... But it's actually a CTR and we wanted the coaster to be as small and cramped as possible so we choose for this CTR and not for the in-game track.
Thanks! Well, yeah, Spain is the country of the sun (this park is a Mediterranean park, so it's also Italian). But you gotta protect yourself to the sun, so you have to dim some places of the pic, otherwise it would be too bright ;). To be honest, I'm not really great at pic editing so I don't even wanna try other effects :-p

Update 9: 12-2-09

(Moved update to this page, looks a bit better...) Hello everyone! We’re almost halfway with the updates, update nr. 20 will be the last one. Today I’ll show you the kiddie area and the beach. So from now on, most buildings are made by me, but there are a few made by Sam…

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0652.jpg
Coming from the second water park entrance you’ll pass a small shop (on the left) and then you finally get into the kiddie area.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0576.jpg
Here’s another look on that building.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0566.jpg
Then in the middle of the kiddie area there is a rocking tug, named “Il barca pazzo”, which (should) mean(s): The crazy boat.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0565.jpg
Here’s a shot of Il barca pazzo.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0567.jpg
On the opposite side there’s a small kiddie jumper called: “Il saltatore”, which means The jumper.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0568.jpg
Another shot of Il saltatore.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0564.jpg
Then there’s only one more attraction left in the kiddie area (before I go to the kiddie coaster): Splash battle. The building you see on this pic contains a restaurant. Behind it is the attraction Splash battle.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0561.jpg
It’s actually a game. The goal is to soak the other team!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0562.jpg
I’m sure you’ll get wet in this game!
http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0563.jpg
The splash battle as seen from the restaurant.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0560.jpg
Let’s move on to the beach! There’s one food shack (made by Sam) and a toilet building.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0556.jpg
The food shack from inside.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0779.jpg
Here’s a shot with Sonoran in the background. (note that I had to edit the water to make it reflective)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0594.jpg
From the beach you can look out over the whole boardwalk. (this is probably the best shot I’ve ever taken)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0569.jpg
Next update will be about Il squalo: The shark. The kiddie coaster!

See ya soon!

[ronspear]

I love that park!!!!!!!! You have a natural talent! Waiting for more! :D

[FFl0o]

I love the idea of the water game ! Your park is amazing, seems like a real park ! :o
Keep it up ;)

Update 10: 12-4-09

Hey everyone! This update’ll be about Lo Squalo: The shark. It’s a funny kiddie ride! The ride is about the underwater life.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0579.jpg
The entrance to the queue.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0573.jpg
The station building.

Another shot from the station building.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0675.jpg
A nice view over the kiddie area with the station building in the foreground.

The queue inside the station building.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0648.jpg
The sharky trains going up the lift hill.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0574.jpg
First drop!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0681.jpg
In the sea you also see dolphins!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0575.jpg

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0649.jpg

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0651.jpg
Oh no! The ride has ended! But, no it hasn’t the train goes two laps around the track!


And then now……


http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/rct3_random/Losqualo_advert.jpg (http://vimeo.com/7980221)
The POV!!!!!!!!
When we build this ride, it looked a lot slower because of lag and we didn’t see that the train was going through some rocks

[RangerStudios]

Oh, I wasn't expecting a POV. I loved the ride, even if it did hit some rocks. The theming was beutiful! I also like the Flying Camera at the beginnning that showed a lot of the park.

[colbycx]

I felt like I was undersea on this ride! Very nice job on this one!

[FFl0o]

It's so beautiful. Your park is one of the best i've ever seen ! ;)

[SaladFingers.]

Ooh wow Lo Squalo looks really cool. I love the shark trains! Great job!

[ronspear]

The coaster is very short but I like that! I wish to ride it in real :D

[AppleSauce]

Este parque es muy bonito. Lo amo!

Hah, couldn't resist the spanish :D
I can't wait for the next update!

[FlyingDutchman7]

Oh, I wasn't expecting a POV. I loved the ride, even if it did hit some rocks. The theming was beutiful! I also like the Flying Camera at the beginnning that showed a lot of the park.
Thank you very much. Well, yeah I wasn't expecting to be able to make a POV either. When I want to make a POV my game always acts weird and well, then I'm unable to make a decent POV. This time it went well, after about 10 attempts. There's one more POV coming but I had even more problems with that POV than with this one :bulb:

I felt like I was undersea on this ride! Very nice job on this one!
Thank you very much!

It's so beautiful. Your park is one of the best i've ever seen ! ;)
Thank you very much!

Ooh wow Lo Squalo looks really cool. I love the shark trains! Great job!
Thanks! The shark trains are just in-game, I accidently came across them.

The coaster is very short but I like that! I wish to ride it in real :D
Thanks Yeah, we had to fit it in a limited space as we had two more challenges left to make.

Este parque es muy bonito. Lo amo!

Hah, couldn't resist the spanish :D
I can't wait for the next update!
Gracias!
You don't have to wait any longer! Here is the update!

Update 11: 12-13-09

Hello everyone! Today I’ll show you the first bit of the boardwalk!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0771.jpg
So, the path from the entrance plaza to ‘the Gate’, the gate to the boardwalk.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0571.jpg
You end up on a small plaza. To the left is Sonoran. To the right is the kiddie area.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0570.jpg
Oooohhh!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0590.jpg
Aaaaahhhh!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0612.jpg
The path underneath the building leads to the boardwalk.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0613.jpg
Inside the gate building are toilets. The men’s toilet.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0611.jpg
A pic taken from the boardwalk side of the building. In the background you can see the gate to the Spanish entrance plaza.

I know, this was a small update. But now I can divide the coming updates a bit better.

See ya soon!

[FFl0o]

WOW, this building is AMAZING ! I love it :)
I don't know if I already told you that, but I think your park is one of the best i've ever seen ;)
Keep up the good work !

[SaladFingers.]

The detail you have put in this park is amazing! You even put sinks in the toilets! Beautiful update, I honestly don't know why this park isn't getting comments. Can't wait to see more:D

[Muffinzz]

I always love your buildings, exterior and interior! I love how much detail you put in so it's as realistic as possible (like the bathroom). You've seemed to perfect the art of buildings in RCT3. Great job :up:!

[supercoolsuper]

Its amazing haha. Incredible colors, layout, themeing, structures, rides, vibes. Its all perfect.

[JoeyRCT3]

This park is so amazing! :)

[Plokoon111]

Wow this is a very colorful park! I really like it, its obvious your team has put a lot of effort into this!

[FlyingDutchman7]

Thanks! Yeah, I saw LR's Lavatory and thought:I must use that set, it adds great details to the park.

Update 12: 12-18-09

Hello everyone! Here are the first four buildings from the boardwalk. After you’ve gone through the Gate you can go to the right.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0609.jpg
These are the first two buildings you see. The left one is just a normal house. The right one houses a ride, a mad house: ‘La casa della follia.’

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0610.jpg
La casa della follia.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0606.jpg
The next building is a fruit shop.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0607.jpg
It’s called Rodrigo’s frutti.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0608.jpg
As you can see it has two floors.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0604.jpg
Then there’s the next building. It’s just a house.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0605.jpg


See ya soon!

[03gibbss]

Thanks again FD7 for posting all these updates! I know you're busy with the winter showdown! =D

[SaladFingers.]

Very nice. I feel some of the architecture here is not as nice as other parts of the park, but it still looks beautiful! The fruit shop looks really nice. Great job.

[patsy1234]

which ctr is the shark car plz

[The Trooper]

which ctr is the shark car plz

It isn't a CTR, it's in game, maybe on the Corkscrew coaster. I think an expansion pack does get rid of it, though. If you go to the Strategies and Tutorials section, look at the sticky thread containing all the tutorials, you'll see one that tells you how to get it back.

This is brilliant, really fantastic!
I love the use of the Shark car, very appropriate and rarely seen!

Everything is so detailed, keep up the great work!

[FlyingDutchman7]

Very nice. I feel some of the architecture here is not as nice as other parts of the park, but it still looks beautiful! The fruit shop looks really nice. Great job.
Thanks! Haha, maybe that's because this part of the park was mostly made and thought out by me. I think it's really hard to make Italian buildings look good as normal Italian buildings would look boring: they don't have many details.

which ctr is the shark car plz
It's a CTR track that I've got from somewhere. I can't remember it anymore.

Thank you very much. I stumbled upon it accidently too. I didn't know the game contained the shark car before.

Update 13: 12-29-09

Hey everyone! This is the last update for one of my parks this year. As WS ’09 isn’t asking that much from me this week I’ve found some time to give you another update.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0602.jpg
The next two buildings. The white one on the left is just a normal house

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0600.jpg
And the one on the left is a little café.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0601.jpg
The interior.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0603.jpg
In front of these buildings there’s a little stand where you can buy glasses and some other things you’d normally see on an Italian market.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0599.jpg
Then the last two buildings of left side of the boardwalk, which are just houses.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0597.jpg
A nice final pic to end this update.

I don't know why this hasn't got comments. Oh well, here's one;) The Italian area looks really nice; if you would have zoomed out a little on the last shot to show the reflection in the water it would have looks ace! Keep up the great work!

Update 14: 01-04-10

Hey everyone! New update today! I’ll show you the first part of the right side of the boardwalk. The part of the boardwalk that you see when you turn right after going through the Gate.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0614.jpg
First building is Fransesco’s Pizzas. (The right building is just a house)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0615.jpg
They offer you sliced parts of a pizza.

Next building is the building on the corner.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0617.jpg
It’s a park accessories shop.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0618.jpg
Last and final building I’ll show today is a restaurant.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0619.jpg
Well, actually it’s more a fast food stall, but you can sit outside and order your meal there.

I couldn’t resist posting this pic that shows the coaster in the background. Notice that I had to make the water reflective with paint.net.

See ya soon!

I did'nt check your park for a while, And I'm suprised by your builing speed!
Again this is amazing..
I will start this coment a few updates back, for I didn''t coment on them yet xD
and that's the 3rd update on this page..
the path between both of the gates is beatifull, I like the difference in height and the "bumpy" look of it. the overvieuw between both of the entrances is great!

about the next update: I really liked the first screen, but the house in the middle is rather un-detaild compered tho the building next of it.. I liked La casa della follia. I really liked how you used the villa-volta cfr! now I see it like this, It really does look Italian!
I have to be honest about the fruit shop.. i don't think the colours fit that well. about the rest of the update: I't looks perfect!

My only advice for the update after is: you should really put some beames beneath that roof on the 4th screen

and finaly, the last one: I really like the pizza shop, but the corner building doesn't look as great as the serouding houses.. I don't really know what it is..
I love what you did with the water, and the whole picture is very pitoresque! everything fit's within the mediterian theme..

This is just my favo park at the moment so, keep it up!

[FlyingDutchman7]

^Thanks! Well, maybe you haven't read it but this is a park that was built for a contest in the summer. It wasn't only me who made it, 03Gibbs and Luke1990 worked on it a lot.
Yes, some buildings may be un-detailed, but that's because normal Italian buildings don't really have much details! About those beams on the 4th pic: Yes, they should have been added. Concerning the corner building: Haha, it was the first ever building in the park, so I was still experimenting with how to make it look Italian. I have added some details later on, but it still isn't very detailed. But, to me it looks like a real Italian building. Thank you very much!

BTW: Why aren't you guys commenting? I notice that I get as much view as I always get. Is there not enough to comment on? Is it all perfect, so that you can't give it critisisim? Just some things that I was wondering...

Update 15: 01-14-10

Hello everyone! Today I’ll show you some more of the boardwalk!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0621.jpg
So, next building. It’s a restaurant. This time you can order your food.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0622.jpg
And, it’s got a terrace!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0623.jpg
The next building is a building on the corner of the street. It’s just a house.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0583.jpg
But, that street goes up! Doesn’t it look beautiful!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0624.jpg
This street contains a restaurant, with some seats outside,

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0626.jpg
The exit of a ride (which is still to be shown) on the right, a house on the left

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0625.jpg
And a small clock store (the purple building)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0669.jpg
It’s interior.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0627.jpg
The last building of the street is just a house again.

See ya soon!

I don't know why this doesn't get many comments FD7, it's fantastic! Maybe because most good park makers have already seen it in the Summer Showdown, and all the noobs are looking at nooby threads?:haha:
Anyway, I love the shot looking up the alley, very much like a Mediterranean one! Lovely update:)

[FlyingDutchman7]

^Thank you very much! Um... so you consider yourself of none of those two sides of the community? You definately are one of those good park makers!
--------------------------------
This will be the last update on Atari because this place is dying, and I'm starting to hate the rules, Phoxe and Atari itself. You can follow the park over at SGW.

Update 16: 01-28-10

Hello everyone! Today I’ll show you the second biggest ride from the park: Jupiter’s Revenge. The story goes like this:
You’re an Italian guy. Just like everyone, you go dreaming. You’ve got a quite extraordinary dream: You are placed in the middle of the ancient Rome. But, then Jupiter gets angry and then all the houses are destroyed: the city has become a ghost town (just like Atari :p). But, luckily it was all just a dream.
I hope to get a POV done soon.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0628.jpg
This is the entrance building to the ride.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0656.jpg
The queue is very detailed: you go through some Italian houses.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0658.jpg
An Italian kitchen.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0659.jpg
Eventually you’ll come out on this turning table.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0589.jpg
Ah, you’re in the ancient Rome now!!!!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0585.jpg
Just look at all those houses!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0592.jpg
After Jupiter got angry, whole Rome has been destroyed!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0591.jpg
Oh, no! Really everything has been destroyed! Rome has become a ghost town!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0660.jpg
I wanna get outta here!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0678.jpg
Luckily it was all just a dream!

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p414/FlyingDutchman7/Collinas%20Del%20Mediterraneo/Shot0677.jpg
Um… Why would you keep your hands up? This isn’t a coaster!

Next time I’ll show you the restaurant that was built for challenge nr. 1.

See ya soon!

[wasstraat65]

nice ride, not a very complicated story, but it has one :)

well done :up: cant wait to see more of the actual park ;)

[larry241]

I'm not a noob, but I don't visit the site every hour of the day, so yeah, I miss parks every now and again and I didn't see the summer show down. I do, or did, like this park very much. I might catch up to this somewhere else, but not sure I've got time to look at 2 websites. Not sure I understand it all, but good luck. I'll miss this one.
