What's this about Volcano closing? Is it just for a rehab or is something more major in the works? -

Raven's station is so freaking classy. I really love this part get and the awesome vibe you have coming out of it! -
Just got back from seeing Brave. Overall I think Pixar has redeemed themselves from the mis-step that was Cars 2. The movie was one of the most visually stunning animation pieces I've seen to date. Merida's hair must have been the most hated character trait to those animators. There's some really great eye candy all throughout. The story may be a bit on the predictable side, but the humor and enjoyable characters make up for it in the end. If you're a fan of Pixar or Disney the film is definitely worth your time. The one thing that felt sort of weird about the movie was the way it was paced...not necessarily bad...just weird. Went from being really fast paced to moving really slow then moving back to the fast pace again. Brave: 8.5/10 If you like visuals, I'd definitely see this in 3D.

[RCT3] Colorado Canyon

^If you need an unzip program I recommend 7zip. It can open just about every compressed file type including .zip and .rar, which are what custom scenery folders come as. And in terms of an RCT3 basics tutorial...I really meant back to basics, but with information on how to expand them into beautiful creations. Which is basically saying it would, in the beginning be mainly an NCS tutorial. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

I've heard that those trains would never be able to run in the US in their current form. The open air design apparently is a little -too- open for them to be permitted and I can what people were talking about. It's a nice design, bust I doubt we will see anything like this in the US for a while, and definitely not the same shell. -

There's some definite improvement in terms of foliage and rides. Now that you've established a nice base of rides, try adding in bots of theming and scenery around your rides. -
The "Preview" Thread

^ I like it! Sort of reminds me of a drawn out version of Hi-Miler. -

You finally made a thread for this park! Looking great so far. The only two noticeable things were with the dive machine. However I don't think you're done with it yet so I'll wait until it's complete. (Flanges and floating track ) -

^Couldn't have said it better...would you consider stickying a basic RCT3 tutorial for park/attraction building? I've been temped lately to make one and see if it would have any impact on the quality of the threads. -

Rename a Peep David Walsh Then press Ctrl + U This will hide the menu bars from your pictures. They look 1,000 times better if you do this. Just keep experimenting with buildings. Try to mix different sets together. You'll be surprised at how easily some of them can meld together. Before making an an entire park, try to make each area one by one and put detail into them. I'll be honest in saying there have been far too many parks lately where the quality of work is much lower than what is usually desired by players. I see potential here, but don't rush. Have fun. If it takes two or even three weeks to give yourself that time, it's no big deal. As The saying goes, quality over quantity. -SCC -
[RCT3] Colorado Canyon

You don't need custom scenery to make your paths look less grid-like. Just try to make more curving pathways. Not everything has to be square. Your surrounds should be dynamic and pleasing. It's not difficult to do. -

Aesthetically your park is lacking...it feels empty. No atmosphere...just...meh. As said before it just doesn't feel right. Open up any park on these forums and they usually ooze life and amtosphere...this just doesn't... Try adding more color and detail to your buildings. Make them different heights and styles. Incorporate more colors and emphasize your attractions. -
^Even with Spidey across the way it's still feasible when you consider there is going to apparently be a fourth Transformers movie. I don't think the location is out of the question, especially when you consider how they shoe-horned it into Hollywood using the elevator system between two floors of ride building.

Best Dark Roller Coaster?
SoCalCoasters replied to drewelap's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've been on: Space Mountain Revenge of the Mummy Hollywood Revenge of the Mummy Orlando I like all three, but I think Revenge of the Mummy Hollywood and Space Mountain are slightly better than Mummy Orlando. I just feel that Orlando's Mummy lacks the flow that Space Mountain and RotM Hollywood have. -
