CloneCaptain38 Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Hello, how is everybody? Well, I just completed my new park, Oasis Theme Adventures. I personally think it's better than my last park, only because it's smaller in scale, and the landscaping throughout the park is more green. I added three waterfalls, and some great hills, valleys, and it just looks more like a fun park to be in rather than the dreaded desert-type park I previously showcased. The only things I didn't incorporate in this park is path lights, large restaurants, amphitheaters, ride stations with a building structure, nor did I add any custom coaster supports for any of the rides. I know adding them gives a coaster a great look and a real realistic look, but it takes too long to add them, and remove the default supports. I did add a couple to a few rides here and there, only testing it out. This park has 10 coasters, 2 water rides, and 18 standard rides and attractions, far less than my previous park. To make the park smaller, I added some hills and valleys around the edge of the park, and that actually came in handy when using it to my advantage when I needed some hills for a couple coasters. As of right now, you won't see any monorails, trams, chairlifts, or any other transportation, so guests will just have to walk. In this park, guests have to literally walk up Transition Hill to reach the other side of the park, where more rides and attractions are. I haven't made any shortcuts, perhaps in the future of this park, changes will be made to satisfy guests, but for now, walking or running will have to do. There are several building structures for giftshops, restrooms throughout the park, so nobody will go hungry or have to wait long to use a restroom, however as I closed my park, one guest was walking out holding his hands over his crotch. That is one thing I hadn't seen before in this game, it was funny. Oasis Theme Adventures Roller Coasters... Cobra Garden Snake Ghostrider Junior Slammer Nitro Machine Pandemonium Jr. Vendetta Wooden West Spiral Miners Mayhem Red Tails The reason why I have a coaster called Pandemonium Jr. is because in a previous park, I had designed a suspended coaster that was like 10 minutes long, and a 10 minute walk to the lifthill, walking up stairs after stairs to reach the peak, and peeps actually rode it like crazy. I was surprised. I was thinking I would get a "looks too intense for me" thought, but they actually rode this crazy twisting track coaster. If interested, I can possibly post a couple images of it. Anyways, back to Oasis Theme Adventures... The two water rides are Log Flume, and Water Works, which is the water coaster. The standard rides and attractions are... Crazy Mouse Discus Spinner Floundering Ferry Gyrator Hershey's Kissing Tower Lasso Merry Go Around Mine Dropout Odyssey Ride Parachute Dropzone Pirate Rocker Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Rip Tide Spin Doctor The U.F.O Bumpers Top Gun Twister Western Wheel In the following pictures for post one, do note that some rides and attractions were incomplete when the pictures were taken, such as landscaping and added scenery items. The first picture is of the map in it's early stage of construction, and the empty land you see will soon be fully filled in with alot of new stuff for the park. Well, I hope you enjoy these images, and a second update will soon follow. -Tim The map of the land of Oasis Theme Adventures, and what the park offers at time of photo. The entrance to the park. The main food court and giftshop. On the left is Wooden West Spiral. Western West Spiral on the left while we view the main pathway to the first half of the park. The pathway leads to Transition Hill, which three coasters await you, a second food court and restrooms. Another angle from the pathway leading up to Transition Hill. Western West Spiral coaster. The first ride everybody gets on. You can see here the line is beginning to form. Ghostrider, the Multi-dimensional coaster. It might look a little intimidating and a little plain looking, but this ride is quite popular with guests, and it isn't all that long of a ride. There was some elements added to the scenery though (not shown). Ghostrider. Ghostrider. It's actually a fun and quick ride. I didn't want to design something a little crazy, so this layout and design works for my guests. Vendetta. It might look all compact and twisty, but this ride to the guests have given it a thumbs up as a favorite. Vendetta lifthill, station on the right, and the pathway leading to Transition Hill where the entrance is located for this ride. A distance shot for Vendetta. There was more landscaping done since this picture, and Nitro Machine was built on the left, and Red Tails built on the right. The Transition Hill Foodcourt. You'll find food, gifts of all things in here. The Transition Pathway. It will lead you to various coasters and places up on this hill, and soon an addition will be added that will lead you to the second half of the park. The Transition pathway from above. You can see one pathway leads you to Nitro Machine, while the other end leads you to Vendetta, and some restrooms, and food and drink stalls. Here is another shot, where you can clearly see Nitro Machine on the right, while Vendetta is on the left. In this shot, you can see the pathway leading to the entrance to Vendetta, and a couple restrooms and food and gift stalls. A close-up of the restrooms and food and gift stalls, using the custom element. The entrance and exit for Vendetta. Animatronic Pirate Ship in the lakes around the track layout for Vendetta. A large animatronic crab next to both the tracks for Vendetta and Nitro Machine. Okay, now for a preview to what's to come in update #2 for Phase 2 of Oasis Theme Adventures. I am really happy how this side of the park turned out. Once you see the final result, you'll be amazed. Phase 2 begins on a waterfall hill, which will soon become an awesome scenery and main focus of the park, which will be used to create an awesome roller coaster, called Cobra. It might look all plain in this photo, but the second picture will give you an idea what the result will look like... The completion of the roller coaster Cobra and the scenery and landscaping is almost done. Pandemonium Jr. will be built on the right, with a cool building structure for gifts, food, and restrooms. I'll have those pictures in update #2, but none of these pictures so far, can show you the beauty of the park. There are hundreds of shots that shows you the true beauty of the park and layout. It's probably one of my favorite parks I have built so far. The other parks to me have just been testing grounds, and I am sure my next park will be even better. Please comment if you'd like, and expect update #2 tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed these pictures, and I can't wait to reveal more to you. Bye everybody, have a great weekend. Tim
brandon Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Nice park, the only thing you should do is turn up your graphics settings when you take the screen shots so the park looks even better.
CloneCaptain38 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks. Well, the screenshots that I have were taken a couple days ago before I started this post, so next time I'll change my settings, but how do you do that exactly, in the custom scenario section? I tried to load up a sandbox park in the custom scenario, but it wouldn't allow me to do that, so is there another way to change my settings in sandbox mode? Does anybody know how to use the elevator in this game? How do you attach it to the pathways so peeps can get on the thing? I can't even get the green light to come on, only the yellow light for testing purposes, so how can you use this in the game, anybody know how? I was hoping to use the elevator in my park, but I can never get the thing to work right. I even tried using it with the swimming pool tools, but nothing came up, not even the tutorial. Let me know if anybody can shed some light on how to use this thing. Thanks. I am here for my update #2, and showcase some pictures from my park, Oasis Theme Adventures. You'll see some early shots before I could get any of the landscaping done, and I'll be sure to note that in my captions. The Cobra roller coaster and the large and landscaped waterfall dominates this side of the park. A new pathway was constructed that leads to the second half of the park. It isn't that long of a walk. Here you can see more Cobra track and the waterfall. The entrance and exit to Cobra, which is situated on top of the manmade waterfall mountain. Before you walk up the stairs to the station for Cobra, enjoy some food and refreshments, and perhaps you need to use the restroom, or you can always do these things after you get off Cobra. Here is an overview of Waterfall Mountain and the vast empty land that will soon be filled with a couple new attractions. There is more landscaping planned for Cobra and Waterfall Mountain. Landscaping complete, with some cool animatronic show pieces in the water, a pirate ship, and a strange looking fish eel. The beauty and landscaping scenery of Cobra and the waterfall will invite guests to a lush and beautiful area of Oasis Theme Adventures. The Cobra trains are testing, as in this shot flys straight in front of the waterfall. You might get a little wet from mist as you zoom by. Cobra trains testing. Construction has been completed on another new addition to Oasis Theme Adventures, Pandemonium Jr. A suspended roller coaster which will fly you through a lush land of trees and hills. Pandemonium Jr. track layout for most of the ride. There is much to be done with the landscaping, which is planned later in the week. The entrance to Pandemonium Jr. which is directly across from some food and refreshment stalls, and stairs leading you up to the entrance to Cobra. Guests walking up and down the pathway that leads to both Cobra and Pandemonium Jr. The waterfall rest and viewing area /w a couple of water blasters for the kids to enjoy. Down from the waterfall viewing area are a couple new ride attractions, The U.F.O Bumpers, and Odyssey Ride. A distance shot from the guests point of view as they walk into the new area of the park. They'll notice how huge waterfall mountain is that dominates this area of the park. Directly across the bridge you cross to get to Pandemonium Jr. and Cobra is a new Food, Drinks, Gifts and Restroom building. What is this? A new manmade waterfall hill has been constructed to accomodate a new themed attraction, Log Flume. Here is a shot of the new Food, Drinks and Giftshop building before you walk over the small bridge to the other side. An overview of the new attraction ride Log Flume, built around the newly constructed waterfall. Landscaping is next for this area. Log Flume testing with landscaping complete. One of many drops on Log Flume. Log Flume testing as it descends down one of many drops, and in this drop it dives next to the waterfall. Here is an overhead shot of Log Flume trains about to plunge down the waterfall drop. Before you reach Transition Hill, new ride attractions were added, such as Gyrator, Lasso, Riptide and Pirate Rocker. A overview map of the park so far in it's current state, however the park is fully completed. I will have a third and final update perhaps tomorrow. There are alot of things I still haven't shown from the other side of the park yet, and the new attractions to be shown from the Waterfall Mountain side. I would like to hear anybody's comments or criticism (if there will be any). Well, anyways, I'll be back possibly tomorrow for the next update. Bye Tim
AlmereStars Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 you can change the settings in the controlpanel (the mechanic tool in the menu) I have 1 tip for the waterfalls: make them more like hills, instead of blocks. there's a real easy way to do that. if you select the landscaping tool and then select the blocksection, there's a tool that makes a small hil between the highest point and the lowest point
CloneCaptain38 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 I am back with another and final update with more pictures from my park, Oasis Theme Adventures. I hope everybody has been enjoying these pictures, and my park design. Well, let's get started... The park's second water attraction, Waterworks has been completed, but landscaping is next to be done. A third waterfall has just been constructed, which will be used as a scenery backdrop for the park's next thrill ride attraction. A distance shot of Waterworks, the park's second water ride attraction. The trains for Waterworks is now testing. The station for Waterworks. A quick overview of the park in it's current state of progress. The park's new attraction, Miners Mayhem, a wild crazy train coaster, which will zip riders around a waterfall and above, and through small canyons, tunnels and hills. A shot of the track in front and around Miners Mayhem. An overview shot of the track layout for Miners Mayhem. Miners Mayhem fully landscaped. It looks like fun to me. All Aboard! Miners Mayhem train roaming through the hills. One more shot of the train moving along the track, and getting a great view of the park. A new roller coaster was just completed, but wasn't painted as of yet. It's a stand-up coaster named Red Tails. The new roller coaster Red Tails, built next to Miners Mayhem and Vendetta, was recently painted a red and white scheme. The track layout for Red Tails. The lifthill might look a little tall, but it's actually the correct height to propel the train throughout the ride. A distance shot of both red Tails and Miners Mayhem, landscaped and ready for park guests to ride. A map of the park. An overview of the park from the sky. A second overview shot of the park from the sky. Crazy Mouse, located directly across from Garden Snake before you reach Transition Hill's pathway that leads to the top. The pathway that leads park guests to and from Waterfall Mountain area. I think I see the park inspector walking up the pathway. Garden Snake and Junior Slammer track layout. A great shot of most of the track for Junior Slammer. A view of most of the track layout for Garden Snake. Garden Snake. A great shot of Western West Spiral, a very popular ride with guests, they love it. A new family ride was recently added to the park, it's small little monster trucks that kid's can pretend to drive around a very long, twisty track layout. The park calls it Road Rage. Road Rage is located next to Ghostrider and Pirate Rocker. An overhead shot of Road Rage, where the exit to Ghostrider used to be, but was taken out and shortened. Mine Dropout and Gyrator in the background. Parachute Dropout and several other rides dominate this area of the park, which is located across from both Garden Snake and Ghostrider. That's it. I know that is alot of pictures, but I need to get the rest of my park seen, which is now completed for the time being. An expansion of the park might be planned on the Ghostrider lot, and the big hole raised to accommodate more fun and exciting thrill rides for everybody. I am currently working on a new park project, and so far it's looking good, so I hope when I am done, I'll be able to share this park with everybody. If you have any comments, or suggestions, please let me know. I am trying so far to incorporate the suggestions into my new park that you have given me so far. It's a challenge for me with such limited custom packs for the game, and limited time in my life, so I do what I can. Later everybody, Tim
ASparkle Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I love your roller coasters they all look great... however I think your waterfall needs work
ASparkle Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 This was one of the first major waterfalls I did. Originally I was going for a different look, but I decided to keep it in my park. Hope this inspires you This is a waterfall in one of the current parks Im working on. It's an adventure/city themed park...
