Fanfair Amusements first park: Blackdown Amusments

[89James89]

(OOC: Right Ive edited this thread to present it more as in a year by year progress park and get this I finally have a name so anyway lets get on with it).

 

 

CEO Karny here and Id like to welcome you all to a exclusive construction and back stage report on our companies first park Blackdown Amusments. We have located it in off the A303 in the south of England near Salisbury.

 

Anyway enough of the location this is the photos of construction so far. We can also reveal we are aiming for 1990 as our opening season and should easily make it. Please also bear in mind that all these pictures are going to be work in progress (and will probaly continue to be until we are ready to open).

 

Anyway here are the pics.

 

Entrance:(small at the moment as we are not sure on the visitor numbers to expect)

Pirate ship:

 

Merry Go Round:

Overview:

 

So now you've seen what we've done so far we'd love to hear some feedback on the park form you all. Also night shots will be up when Ive sorted the lighting out and completed more of the park.

 

Thanks

I really like the pirate ship's queue line! It looks realistic! Anyway, I choose the first design on the coaster. Overall, I think it's off to a really good start!

 

9/10!

Thanks like I said I wasn't to sure but Ill add coaster 1 and theme it a bit and just see what it looks like.

 

Cheers

I like the park, bu I don't like either coaster design, but I have to choose one of them it would be #1.

[89James89]

Here we go update for ya all (still work in progress though). This shows the first roller coaster of the projected two to go up for the opening season and we have chosen a wooden coaster to debut the parks coaster family.

 

May I present Timber Terror

 

Entrance and station building (other side includes storage area and maintenance area):

 

 

(OOC: A shot showing the support work I have done for the coaster (is all over it lol) The entire extra supports is made using 1 custom scenery piece lol. Also note now that I was really happy by the results but its a pity that i couldn't find and decent footers so just left them like they are which kind of damages the overall look but hopefully when the vegetation is complete most of the lower supports will be hidden.)

 

 

This is the overview of the coaster:

 

 

 

Hope you all enjoy them.

 

Cheers

Beutiful Park. Keep it up.

[89James89]

CEO Karny here again to present you with pictures of our second and last roller coaster to be at the opening of the park. It was originally projected to be a roller coaster for the younger members of the park but it got a little out of hand in the design stages and ended up being the junior model but with a 40mph launched (still gave the park a pretty much unique coaster). The train is then shot up a hill and precedes to dive steeply into the station area and under the station before preceding to complete the rest of the circuit which also includes a pretty neat air time hill for a junior coaster. So all in all we now have a unintentionally planned signature coaster for the park. Anyway here it is. May I present Blast!

 

Station Building shots:

 

 

 

Heres a overview shot of the coaster:

 

 

 

 

And finally not really regarding the new coaster but heres a overview of how the whole park looks now. Note that we have greatly increased the vegetation around Timber Terror (to tie it in further withs its name meaning that that coaster is nearly finished).

 

 

Comments and critiscm appreciated as always.

 

So until next time.

Wow, this park looks great! The buildings look very realistic and I wish I could do as good of a job as you. I hope you fill in that space inbetween Blast! and Timber Terror with rides and buildings, because it looks really bland and boring compared to the rest of the park.

Yup we plan to fill in that gap with maybe a few more rides and shops toilets etc before opening day don't worry.

 

CEO Karny

[89James89]

Her is a list of the rides in the park for you all.

Here is the outer facade of the final two rides that are both enclosed. The building still needs work but we think it si coming along well and aslo provides a more Mainstreet apperance to the opening area which we were aiming for:

 

A overview for you all also showing some more buildings and also planters breaking up the paths:

 

Hope you all like the improvments until next time.

GREAT start to the park, I really like it! The only thing I don't like are the supports on the wood coaster... but maybe once there is more scenery and other stuff I will like it. Good job!
