Cirque Phantasmagorie

[Fisherman]

Hello everyone!

 

I posted this ride (screens, back story, and videos) over at the Atari site and it was a huge hit. (It quickly broke the record for number of replies in the Tracks forum). I wanted to share it with you hardcore ride fans here at Theme Park Review.

 

The story revolves around a misunderstood child raised in a circus by his ringmaster father and fortune teller mother. The father was very cruel and through some supernatural phenomena and some pent-up rage, the boy transformed into the mysterious Mr. Enigma, an evil supernatural (and cannibalistic) clown bent on revenge on all those who called him a freak when he was a child. He now holds them prisoner in his dark and twisted circus. Occasionally on a stormy night, sinister laughter can be heard in the woods...and when he's hungry, his circus will find you...

I stopped watching after the 1st 20 seconds because i thought a clown was gnna jump out.

[Fisherman]

[goleafsgo]

edit out the clowns and ill watch it.

[ECZenith]

Fisherman,

 

I don't know what to say besides that is absolutely outstanding work.

[Alexman]

Nice shots of it, I have to wait for an hour just to watch the movie

[CommanderLock]

As I said on the Atari boards,

Incredible.

Fisherman put all this work into the video to give us a scare that was free and didn't cost $8 or more.

[Timpowes]

That was totally awesome!!!11 Everything was perfect, except for one thnig.. The way the coastercam was... The whole ride got destroyed because of the we the camera moves in the turnes. It kinda loses the movie (Atleast for me). If you'd just clicked once before recording, the movie would be perfect.

[Fisherman]

Awww man...you are only the 2nd person to complain about the floating camera effect. I usually do not use it in my videos, but for this one I chose to use it because it added a cool disorienting effect to the ride I thought. Plus if you pull back a bit on the steel wild mouse, the headlight glow shows up...plus you miss some of the scenery on the sides that way...so I opted for the floating effect. Most folks liked that part. Oh well...

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

[Steffen_Dk]

OMG!! That was amazing

 

How did you make the coaster go through clown head (fun house and picture No. 1)?

[Fisherman]

Thanks! That effect is acheived by using the "track intersect track" options file cheat. The coaster track is intersecting the clown head funhouse ride.

Dude! That story obviously took a lot of time and effort. 10/10. Great work. I'm waiting for the video to load. Is there more? Write more creepy stories please!!!!!!!!!!! Please!! Please!!!!!!!! I hate clowns but couldn't but to read it.

[HCOSurfer90]

Amazing work!!!!!

 

Even though I shouldnt have watched it since I'm scared to death of clowns.

 

But even know I hate them that was the best coaster I've seen in a long time, good work

[doitdumont1128]

OMFG THAT SCARED THE SH!T OUT OF ME! the ending was rly good, and so was the mirror scene, and three ring circus thing!

[Fisherman]

Thanks, guys!!!!

 

-Derek

[weeow]

So will you write more scary stories?

[goleafsgo]

okay, well, in finally made myself watch it. and it was amazing... wasnt as scary as i thought, but you did an incredible job with the whole ride.

[weeow]

I just now watched the video. It was the scariest thing I have ever seen. But it was very well done. I hate clowns. They scare me so much. This video went along with the story so well.

[bleedsnomore134]

awsoem

[Rollerholden]

That was amazing! It genuinely scared me! You are fantastic with the themeing!

[CP_RULES]

Any way to make the video smaller or break it up into sections or put it on YouTube? I say this because I have dial-up and it will take around 10 hours to download this video. And to be honest, Im not willing to do that.

[EuroTre]

Dude, your video got me in serious trouble! My mom caught the 'viewer discretion is advised' part and flipped out on me! I am now grounded for a couple weeks for the dumbest reason ever! Oh, and great video!

 

GROUNDED!?!?!?!

[goleafsgo]

wow, didnt you tell your mom what the video was?

[Timpowes]

How long did it take you to edit the video, Fisherman?

[thomas2]

OMG this ride is the best I've seen soo far. I was pretty scared of clowns after reading/watching IT, but now I'm just totally scared of clowns! OMG!!!
