TPR Front Page RE-Design Contest!
AlmereStars replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Damn.. this thread exploded over night haha I've read all the pages, and for now I like Gumballs. Only problem I have with it, is the gradient background.. it's to much of a contrast. But other then that I've seen a lot of great stuff. I'm on my way to belgium now, so ill some time to work out version 0.2 now. @robbalvey: I think I know what you mean with your feedback. And i'm guessing you want the color scheme to remain the same? or at least somewhat the same -
Great Park, Great Video Only strange technical bit in the video is the first text segment.. where the text waves around and then just stops. You should let it wave until it completely dissappears. But thats just me being "woow I followed 2 tutorials about After Effects, so now I'm an expert" haha no seriously, great video! Following this with pleasure

TPR Front Page RE-Design Contest!
AlmereStars replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I just finished making a website (http://www.almerecityfc.org) so I just kept on going.. I made a simple first design. I tried to make it look more modern, but still have the feel/look of the current TPR frontpage. - Menu: the menu sticks to the top of the browserpage, so if you scroll down.. the menu scrolls down - Photosegment = latest news/reports/important stuff. With the larger photo fading into the 2nd one and on to the third etc. etc. untill all 5 news items are displayed. Then it just go back to #1. All the other blocks could be used for almost anything.. for displaying a RSS feed from another site, latest forum posts, latest exchange or coastertube uploads etc. You name it Preview Any thoughts? -
[NL] F5

@tiger01: I hope so.. @coastercrazy9: Thank you very much! I really like to follow tutorials on Adobe After Effects and make my own video's... about the song, I have absolutely no idea I found it while looking for Sketchup tutorials on youtube. @QueerRudie: I like promotional videos.. and I immediately came up with this when you called the coaster F5. Glad you like it! -

The "Preview" Thread
AlmereStars replied to DBru's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
OK: From my Masters Degree in Marketing Science, courtesy College of William and Mary: In order for you to properly market a product, no matter what it is, you need to know what the product does, how it will fit into the marketplace, and it's specific use. Without that, you are aiming blindly into sales- and possibly failing to sell your product right. In other words: If you don't know what the coaster does other than race, what's the point in naming it. Is it a twister? Does it duel? Does it have special effects? Is the ride family friendly? Is the ride in a themed area? Does this ride have any notable firsts? Will this ride be a record-setter? Is the layout of a particular shape or design? Will the ride have a specific niche in the marketplace? Could the ride be used for tie-ins to other marketing endeavours? Will the park be adding any particular theme to the ride itself BEYOND what the park has already? Is the ride part of a series? Could the ride be sold as a production model? Thus my statement before: I see a brake run, and a lift hill. I don't know of anything else of the ride, so coming up for a name for it beyond 'Racer' is just about impossible. If I had the answers TO those questions, I could come up with a more appropriate name, instead of random names that might not make sense for the project. R.D. Hopefully I fullfill your needs some more with this shot *EDIT* The name I'm using so far is Wolf Pack -
The "Preview" Thread
AlmereStars replied to DBru's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Well, based upon how little you've shown of it: I'd simply call it Racer. Without showing off some actual RIDE part of it, how can anyone judge the personality- or for that matter name it? Right now, you see a lift hill, and a brake run. And that's it. Where is -anyone- supposed to come up with a good name based upon a lift and a brake? Lots of people have great names in their heads, that aren't linked to a particular coaster. Which I could use? I see where your're coming from, but I posted the picture to show you guys whats coming from me. Naming the coaster wasn't the main reason, just something I asked. -
The "Preview" Thread
AlmereStars replied to DBru's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I call it: Incomplete project of two GCI Millenium flyers on a brake run that nobody could tell what it is even if they tried: THE RIDE. (Seriously, don't post obscure pictures like that. It's hard to name a project based upon what you see from a brake run.) True, but why would I post the entire coaster? I don't think it would be a preview if I do that. Maybe there is someone who has a good name for a wooden dualling coaster -

@stereohead: looks good, Only concern is that small straight bit in the background.. but thats a small thing I had a side project last week, on my way to work I made a dualling coaster in NL. its not really don yet, but here's a preview. Ow and if anybody knows a name for this project, then please say so -
Somebody That I Used To Know by Walk Of The Earth... Awesome cover (original by Gotye). 4 men and a woman playing 1 guitar.

@nosferatu: I'm letting it run now, when i'm going to the Cinema told my little brother to keep an eye on it and not let it reach year 8... maybe it works @QueerRudie: True.. but working and doing stuff with my girl and family are a little bit more important Edit: okay.. so that didn't work.. haha I build this park so poorly that geusts can't find the exit, get mad and my rating dropped below 700...

Remember the Water Slides I posted a few weeks ago? Well.. here's my New Years Gift to TPR (ps I just posted the video on CoasterTube, so it may take some time before it plays. But since it is already 1 AM here in Holland, I'm off to bed) *EDIT* okay.. so CoasterTube didn't work somehow... I'm uploading it to youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwx5RW98Jek -
List the parks you have visited in 2011
AlmereStars replied to Groteslurf's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
- Movie Park Germany (2x) - Drievliet - Speelpark Oud Valkeveen - Walibi Holland - Thorpe Park Not a long list, but visiting Thorpe Park was a huge surprise! -
Six Flags Gateway Square (RCT3)
AlmereStars replied to joco07's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Thats either lego or Mario -
Well I downloaded it.. and thats one big challenge right there! But the challenge doesn't say you have to have 2000 geusts at the end of year 8 or at the point you upload your park.. So does that mean I can build the map to its fullest to complete the challenge, then erase the rides and make it a pretty park? Even if that means that I only have.. lets say.. 800 geusts by the time I upload the park? (all within the 8 years time limit)

[RCT3] Open Orchards
AlmereStars replied to stereohead's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Your log flume looks good! Although I'm not really a fan of the long straight bit before the lifthill... Maybe you can put in 2 S-shapes in there? one going left, and the other going right so you'll end up at the same place before the turn. Just like you did before the exit-station. And maybe put some bushes on the rocks? -
