  1. Part two. This next section of the park is called Temple. It is part of the Londinium isle and The Great Fire goes through one of its buildings. There are three rides situated here. Trebuchet – Topspin ride. The Royal Derby – Double Decker carousel. Vertigo! At The Temple – Drop tower ride. (Inspired by the movie by Alfred Hitchcock, with whom I share the same place of birth.) There is also another station to hop on to the Underground trains. The small building at bottom centre houses The Royal Derby. To the bottom right is Trebuchet complete with water sprays. Temple area from another angle. Closer shot of Vertigo! at The Temple. The ride begins underground.
  2. Thanks for the comments! Things I have learnt since starting this park... 1. Select the scenery you wish to use carefully. 2. I need more windows. 3. "What's a support blocker, I don't need one of those" Yes I do! 4. I have no need for an Inca statue nor a Chinese pagoda. Also, I think it's a real shame the makers of this game didn't carry it on further. They should have integrated it to work with RCT3 to allow 2 different views of the same park. I would also have loved to create the interiors of the buildings and set lighting/physical effects, etc. I had the idea that my indoor pirate ship would be inside a Soarin' style movie screen dome with added enhancements such as wind and water spray. The same goes for the coaster, but with fire effects (similar to Revenge of the Mummy). I'm a big fan of heavily themed rides. Anyway, that is the theory behind the rides so far.
  3. Two part update! The first part is Londinium (old name for London). This is the 'main street' area of the park. Within the large buildings is a twisting coaster with five inversions, named The Great Fire. There are also two slow areas which lead to boosters for that element of surprise. Within the large green building with the brown roof is a pirate ship. There are also plenty of shopping and eating areas within the buildings. I have also built in an underground transport system which stops at other points of the park. Here are 4 views of the 'main street' area of the Londinium zone. This building is City Hall. The entrance for The Great Fire is located behind this. The red building is a recreation of a typical London Underground station and is, obviously, where the entrance to the train is. ...The next update will be for the Temple area of the park...
  4. Looking good! The top of that building reminds me a bit of the armadillo building in glasgow.
  5. I wonder why anyone would want to post a park on that site. Don't get me wrong, there are some seriously good parks on there, but the critisisms border on nastyness. Back on topic... Phantom looks great. I love enclosed coasters and i'm guessing the inside parts would, in reality, be in the dark with perhaps some fog effects. My kind of coaster!
  6. I agree. Whilst Dinosaur is a great ride, Spiderman has a few extras up it's sleeve that are ingenious. The experience leaves you in amazement.
  7. I'm looking to go to Paris DL and I must say I was a bit disappointed having read that all the Disneyland versions have single shafts. ToT in WDW is my most favourite ride there and ,IMO, the whole ride experience is magic. It really makes you feel disorientated and in wonder of how the illusions (if that's the correct word!) work. Then, of course, the drops... I know I will have to wait until I ride a DL version until I can judge for myself, but I feel, personally, the single shaft ride doesn't seem as appealing.
  8. Space Mountain at WDW Magic Kingdom. The ride feels as if it's made from a mixture of chipboard and plastic.
  9. I have only been on 3. One in SF Astroworld years ago (can't remember the name). Detonator at Thorpe park which I thought was horrendous and painful! And my favourite, ToT in MGM, Florida, simply because it's a complete ride, it has random drop sequences and it's a lot more fun in the dark! I've never seen anyone come off that ride without being in fits of laughter.
  10. This park looks very realistic, even from the overview, and Italian Job looks extremely well planned and themed. It's so annoying when I see coasters as good as that as I have spent ages trying to create coasters for my own park, but ended up binning them all so far! Keep up the good work and I look forward to future updates!
  11. Great pics of BPB. Got to love that place for the amount of rides in a small area. Also, glad you gave a mention to Valhalla. People tend to give that ride the thumbs down, but I love it. Lots more fun than a plain water ride. PS to martinb.. Please excuse my lack of coaster knowledge with the wild mouse/dragon fury thing. I am yet to learn all the coaster jargon, etc, but I am sure with the help of this website I will be a fully fledged coaster freak within months, if not weeks!
  12. That ghost train even houses a 'real life' (or dead depending on which way you look at it) ghost called Mr Cloggs. Did anyone meet him?
  13. 1989ish - Python at Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay. I must have ridden 10 times that day.
  14. Great photos there! Dragons Fury is one insane ride, has to be the best in wild mouse technology. It's also the best ride I can manage to get my girlfriend to go on more than once!
  15. This park is looking really good so far. I like the use of the 1/4 sized block pieces on the buildings. I've just downloaded them recently myself and they are very useful. I think also the size of the park could be just about right considering there is a hotel being built. That's supposing it will be a kind of Jurassic Park resort. Cool idea though.
