Ghost Star - a new darkride from Fisherman...VIDEO UP!

Well, as promised, on Halloween night, I’ll be releasing one of the two Adventure Pod Darkride CTR demo rides from the Revolutionary Rides AP-DR teaser video.



For now…a little of the back-story and some screenies…

Fourteen days ago the Trade Alliance lost contact with the crew of the freighter ship Cargo Star Omega-9. You are part of the rescue/salvage team being deployed to investigate the mystery. You leave from the gateway point at Nova Vista Station aboard the RSV Nightengale. Once at the rendezvous point your vessel will dock with the CS-Omega 9 and you will board the ship in 12-person pods. Your mission is to find out what happened to the crew, but be very careful…although our bioscanners have detected no signs of life on the ship, our sensors have detected multiple energy spikes of unknown origin throughout the spacecraft. Was it pirates? Aliens? Some catastrophic malfunction? Or perhaps something worse?

Blue text is horrible on the Classic Theme. I refuse to read it until you fix it.

Can't wait to be able to see this!

The scenery looks great! That effect with the ship in space is interesting.

Question, how do you make it so you don't leave blank spaces in your ride? For instance, when I make a ride, the scenery always looks plain and bare

Looks very, very creepy, although not in your typical Halloween way. Should be a nice diversion from the regular fare! And the back story is intriguing. Can't wait for Halloween!

Great work, Fish!
I was wondering when you'd put this up.

I ALWAYS make a little test area first where I test combinations of scenery sets...then I saturate it...meaning I layer, and layer, and layer scenery till it feels claustrophobic...even then I always feel like I should have added something more...I try to imagine myself in the environment...the sights, the sounds, the smells...everything.

This ride is very short, the video is mostly story and hype (7 minutes, 280MB), but the ride itself is short since it was just a demo for the AP-DR...so I hope you won't be disappointed. A couple of folks I've let preview it think its too short. Personally...I wouldn't have wanted to spend one more second in that haunted starship.

Yes I have Webers set, but I haven't been able to do much with it yet. I still have alot of ride idea's but seem to get sidetracked with making CS everytime I go to build something. I am putting all my other stuff aside for awhile and going to make a RR contest ride.I just don't think I can match either of these rides . You guys are too good. But I shall try.

Let's one-star this so it gets just as much popularity as Ghost Mine did.

No seriously, that downrating, how horrible and disgusting it may have been, got the thread at least 20 extra pages more of comments and constructive critisism.

(not that I would ever bring up the courage to downrate such an amazing thing)

It will be another awesome Video, I'm sure. Can't wait for tomorrow, well, actually I'll probably end up passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters, so Sunday.
