Yay or nay?

Thanks! {[(Update - Adventure Kingdom Resort)]} Adventure Kingdom is proud to have a slight name change into a resort. With the construction of two accommodation sites and plans for a new park, we can expect a lot of changes happening soon. Firstly , the park(s) are having name changes. The old AD park is becoming Discovery Kingdom Park and the new par kin development is becoming Adventure Kingdom Park. So, in short, the old park has a new name and the new park has an old name. Also, to make transportation around the resort easier, a new plaza and monorail have been erected. The plaza has an entrance to both parks as well as a monorail station which will transport guests to the hotels and car parks once the resort has officially opened. Discovery Kingdom's entrance Adventure Kingdom's entrance The rather odd-looking monorail station In other news, the dark ride located in Port Roma has had a major decrease in riders over the past few weeks.The resort board is unsure about the future of the ride. Until next time

Thanks! I basically just had a large space of land left and thought a large purple, random coaster would fit. And in answer to your question, it's a 4D cinema. Thanks! {[(Update)]} Today the board of Adventure Kingdom publicly released their 10 year plan for the development of the park. Main topics were for better accommodation to be introduced as well as better parking and the possibility of a second park to be built in the resort in the next couple of years. In other news, lemonade stands have been appearing around the park. With one in Port Roma and one in Russia, they are great for a hot day at AK. More soon

Thanks for the suggestions. The green paths are no longer there and I've started to fix the texture. Thanks! I'll see what I can do but it's a big mess of track inside the hill {[(Update)]} The American area of the park has had a big re-vamp. In fact, it hasn't got anything to do with America at all. The quater of the park is now based on the natural world and the environment. This is a surprising turnout after country themed lands in the past, but plans for the future may say different anyway. Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Overview: Comment/critism welcome CoasterRider245

Thanks for the comment! I'll see what I can do about the buildings but a few I'd rather not show... {[( Trip Report - Part 2)]} Continuing on... We had lunch in Cafe Italiano. All they practically serve in here is pasta, pizza and salad and they do a buffet style promotion during the hours of 11-2. The gardens around Swan Boats really make this area feel bright and alive. Chariot Race, the first coaster built in the park, was another ride on our list. It's slow, short but when the queue isn't 40 minutes long it makes a good ride. We then headed over to America. With one ride and only a couple of shops it isn't the largest land in Adventure Kingdom but let's just say we might not have to worry about that for much longer... The decent buildings in the land adjacent to the clearly artificial beach. -----------------

^I look forward to see where that project goes. Just a layout I need a few opinions on. It seemed like the perfect fit for the space and it was either this, a wild mouse or a Boomerang ( Cobra ).

Thanks for the compliment - It really means a lot Thanks for the criticism. I've tried to vary the facades more mainly in the British Isles ( I'm not to worried for the facades in America - That land will be re-done soon anyway ) I'll also see what I can do about the trams. {[( Trip - Report - Part 1 )]} This update is going to be a tad different than the others. Instead of the usual construction update etc. I will show you the park from a guests point of view. I know I could've done better things on my day off, but...

Now that that's over with how about some pictures from the day? We arrived just after opening time ( 10:00 ) to cloud and rain. The park was still surprisingly busy despite the weather, however, and the queue time information boards showed quite long lines already. As it was raining, we decided to have a look around the shops and restaurants in the British Isles. They had some very good deals and items. The Adventure Emporium is your perfect shop if you like over-priced merchandise! As the sky cleared, we hoped onto Tram Transit and traveled to Russia to ride the two newest attractions at the park - Dominator and Raging Rapids. The land was still quite quiet so we made good use of the short lines. Dominator was first... ...and Raging Rapids came after. For a compact ride you get very wet. We did, however, skip this one, partially due to a 20 minute wait... Part 2 will be posted soon.

This is a nice start! There are a few areas that could need some touching up to add some extra realism but it looks good - I especially like V2 for some reason. I would suggest for you to use less pictures in one update though in the future as there is an awful lot in the first post... As for the flume: Pirate Falls, Buccanear Falls?

{[(Update)]} Raging Rapids seems to be a hit - Or at least to the people that attended the soft opening anyway. The ride was constructed faster than expected and was ready much before our original date of opening resulting in the day being moved forward. However, the ride will not officially open until the new season as after the media day, it will be put into a small 'hibernation' stage in which it will be tested reguraly and only avaliable to ride by select employee families and media. The site before the construcution starts. The waterfall is drained of water and Spiral Slide is taken apart. Land is lowered and the area is cleared. And now a couple of screens of the finished ride... With waterfalls, rapids, drops and an on-ride photo avaliability are all the features that Raging Rapids contains in it's compact but thrilling layout. We're pretty happy with how it turned out. We now just hope our guests will agree... Spiral Slide in it's new location. Across the park, the Grand Carousel and Chariot Circuit have have a high increase in rider numbers. This is a big surprise, especially with CC that went from five people in line to 216. The queue got to the point where it had to be expanded to another show building. -- I will try to get another update in before Christmas if I can. Also, please leave some serious critism if you can below because I really want to improve this park as much as possible. Thanks, CoasterRider245

I choose option A - It has a better flow and doesn't look as unrealistic.

. {[(Update)]} Adventure Kingdom announces plans for eleventh season Local park, Adventure Kingdom, today announced it's plans for it's eleventh season. Raging Rapids is a new fully themed rapids ride that will occupy space within the Russian land in the park. This came to much surprise as a coaster was only unveiled in this section of the park a few months ago. Park officials had this to say: 'After the success of Dominator this year, Raging Rapids will hopefully continue the new line of rides we hope to introduce to the park over the next few years. With the park only having eight rides in total and the park desperately needing a water ride, it seemed like the perfect fit.' The ride will begin construction soon and it will be ready to open in May for a premium early opening. It will be built on the old spiral slide plot, which will be moved across the land to a new home, and will make use of the small space. For those unfamiliar or those following the construction of the ride, here is a picture of the site and a concept art: .

This is really good for not using any CS. The log flume has to one of my favourite areas in the park so far. Looking forward to seeing more updates!

Thanks for the comment {[(Update)]} To celebrate the opening of Adventure Kingdom's opening day I have set up a bumper update for you all. (Well, longer than past updates anyway...) So, I have split this update into 3 sections - Update, Contest and Teasers. -- The day went without a fault and we saw record breaking numbers visit the park. Most headed straight for Dominator, our new coaster, but others went for the old favorites. Surprisingly, The British Isles was the busiest area throughout the day. Some little additions to the land over the off-season have made a big impact to the appearance. Cafe Italiano tucked away in Port Roma. A random picture of Port Roma. Dominator-Our newest and busiest attraction. This may be the last season that America has it's current look. Another random picture of Port Roma. --------------- {[(Contest)]} --------------- Whoever can answer the question below fully and correctly will win a download of Adventure Kingdom V1.1. The first two people to answer will win the prize. How many rides have I mentioned in this thread so far and what are thier names? Good luck! -------------- {[(Teaser)]} -------------- A large section of land has been cleared adjacent to the park's car parks. What could it be? Thanks for reading and joining in on Adventure Kingdom 10th birthday. More soon!

Thanks for the comment! I'll see what I can do

Thanks for the comments! {[(Update)]} The last of Adventure Kingdom's four lands in America. After many delays I can finally put together an update showing off the park's smallest and oldest land. Unfortunately, due to these factors, the land is much less detailed and realsitic than the other three. A major refurbishment may come in the future, most likely having a theme change to the America I described a couple of updates ago. The main ride in America is a boat ride showing many of the landmarks in the US. The large attraction take a three different show buildings. Here you can see a small row of buildings along side the beach. The three shops were rushed when I first made the park so they suffered greatly to the modern buildings. I have recently added a few details to them to make them more appealing. Heading towards the British Isles is a small restaurant and a shop selling beach items. The beach is avaliable to all guests during opening hours and even has a wave machine that operates to make small waves throughout the day. Leaving America, who can forget Port Italia? And to end, I think it's time to show an overview. More soon!

XTThrills2010 - Thanks! And read this update Folf - Thanks for the comment! Will do {[(Update)]} It's been a while hasn't it? A few months have passed and opening day is getting nearer and nearer. Our two new attractions are almost complete and some building changes are now the only things left to do. First up, is the new small attraction. It's thrilling, exciting and the perfect addition. It's a carousel! On a serious note the gentle ride seemed the perfect addition to the British Isles. A bit of work still needs to be done. Next we move onto a new land - Russia. Here it is, the second largest land in the park. The land holds three attractions - Tram Transit, A spiral slide and Adventure Kingdom's new un-named coaster. This vertical drop coaster is our new major attraction. The ride dominates the park skyline, filling up un-used land, and currently holds the title of the parks biggest ride. A waterfall with snowy peaks and a spiral slide sit at the back of this artifical looking land. To finish, a close up of the land. Name our coaster As you know, this off-season we have developed a new major coaster. The new ride dominating Russia needs a name and the parks management board is turning to you. We need a name for the coaster. It must have something to do with Russia/Forest and should fit the ride type. The name will be judged and shown in the next park update. Good luck! America will be shown next update. More soon!

Glad your parks are returning after so long. It will be great to see some new amazingly detailed and excellent updates that you have produced in the past

Thanks for all the comments! I'll see what I can do about the colours and glass covering. {[(Update)]} Please note: This will just be a short update before a week and a half of not being able to access the game. America will be shown later this month eventually Right, for this update I thought we would bring things a little more up-to-date. So, here at Adventure Kingdom we are currently half-way through our off-season. To celebrate 10 years of the park, we have aimed high and are in the process of constructing two new attraction for the park- One minor and one major. We are also revamping certain things around the park to make it more guest pleasing. The first picture today shows the start of making the roofs less dull. Sky-lights and chimneys are only the beginning... The second involves the area of land adjacent to the British Isles that has recently been cleared for an expansion. This willl be the minor attraction. That's it for now! There will be a large update in two weeks when I can access the game but until then, I may post some teasers of upcoming expansions... Thanks for reading

{[(Update)]} Next up on our tour (Due to a few problems) is the British Isles. This is the first land guests see upon entering the park and while doesn't it have any rides, shops and restaurants are around every corner. England is the main theme but space around the land can be opened up for possible future expansions. On we go! Here it is - Our next stop on the tour. A small canal runs through the land and the centerpice is a large shopping center. There are too many shops and restauants in this land so I won't be naming them all... Tram Transit's main station also sits in the British Isles instead of just running through. The track runs over many bridges, goes through tunnels and has little 'surprises' throughout the layout. A small row of shops selling a range of different merchandise as well as one the of Tram's 'surprises' in the background. Next we travel across the atlantic to America!

Thanks for the comments! I'll have a look at some of the roofs and see if I can change them a bit to make them less plain. Would pipes and sky-lights be Ok? As for America I'm currently remodeling it to be different time periods. Guests enter in a fairly modern area and then travel back in time to an early 1900's area.

/ {[( Welcome to )]} \ *,^.?{[(/()- Adventure Kingdom Resort -()/)]}?.^,* Adventure Kingdom Resort is set in the beautiful landscape of France and attracts guests from around the world. With our distinct intention to be a place of discovery and adventure, we are constantly improving the resort to make it better for adventure, education, comfort and thrills. The resort has 3 parks ... : Discovery Kingdom Adventure Kingdom Under Construction ... 3 On-site Hotels ... : Adventure Springs Hotel and Spa Safari Inn and Lodges Under Construction ... And a range of entertainment attractions. : Green Springs Golf and Sports Center TransCenter Adventure Plaza So, that's the resort in a nutshell. Now though, how about a tour? ------------------------------------------ {[(Discovery Kingdom)]} Discovery Kingdom was the resort's first park and is the base of what followed. Originally named Adventure Kingdom, the park has four themed lands all around a center hill. -UK- The land guests enter the park into is based on the British Isles. The land serves a the major shopping and dining area of the park, although it does have a couple of rides to call it's own. The Grand Carousel and TramTransit are at opposite ends of the area and both serve as great family attractions. A recent fire in this land caused major damage to the center building and a dark ride is expected to replace it soon. -Port Roma- Port Roma is based on, of course, Roma and Italy itself. Here, guests will find a mixture of luscious scenery, Italian delicacies and a few more attractions. Whether it be Chariot Race - A speedy indoor roller coaster, Mediterranean Adventures - A small but educational dark ride or Swan Boats - A more gentler ride, there is something for everyone to enjoy. -Russia- The third land is themed on Russia and is the park's thrill central. The land has the second station for TramTransit and has two more thrilling, and adventurous, rides. Vertigo is Discovery Kingdom major coaster with a vertical drop and a very twisted layout. Raging Rapids took up previously unused land and gave the park it's first water ride with a compact but exciting layout. -Natural World- The final, and smallest, land in the park is the Natural World. The area used to belong to an American themed section but a major re-theme was needed due to some extent of unpopularity. With a random junior boomerang, a 3D simulator and an indoor restaurant and play area, the land acts as a kids area for the younger guests. ---------------------------------------- {[(Adventure Kingdom)]} Adventure Kingdom is the second theme park in the resort and, upon completion or construction, with take the title of being the resorts biggest park. Phase 1 is set to have 5 themed lands, two of which are almost complete. While I can't show you much, I can show a picture of Sector 1.435 - The park's thrill central. -Sector 1.435- This land is the park's thrill capitol and has two major rides with room for expansion. ( For those of you who are observant, you will notice that the resort has two vertical drop coasters. Let's just say that one of theme may not be around for much longer. ) ------------------------------------------- {[(TransCenter)]} The TransCenter acts as a hub between both parks with monorail links to various other places in the resort. ------------------------------------------ Important Notice : This first post is set up as a 'overview' post which will be constantly updated with new additions to the resort. The latest update was on 21/2/12 and gives a basic overview of resort additions up to page 5- Page 6 continues the story. If you are a first-time viewer, or haven't seen recent updates, then I strongly recommend that you view the proper updates as what you see above is very basic and doesn't cover the story or past attractions. Thanks, CoasterRider245
