[RCT2] Six Flags Over Virginia.

[CoasterMaker96]

I 'll have some new park pictures soon. Currently the park has been shut down for rebuilding. The only story for the park is this:

 

 

In the economic times of today Six Flags has decided to open a new park in Richmond, Virginia.

[the ghost]

No offense, but this park needs some SERIOUS work. First of all, why is there green water surrounding your top spin?

 

Why is there a rocket coaster? Those are hardest to theme

 

I think you gotta add some theming and try harder. It is easy to make a quick ride with no theming, but why post that when anyone can do that. Instead, (this is going to sound so cliche) try to have your rides look realistic, or at least make them look nice.

 

Tips

Don't build for buildings sake

 

Experiment with different ride types and themes

 

Experiment with buildings

 

USE THE SAME PATH FOR EVERYTHING

 

Keep your park as nice looking as possible.

 

Work with foliage and landscaping.

 

Follow these simple steps and your parks will begin to look like real parks. Also, try to tell a story with your park, or at least be able to say why you put a ride where. The "park" you just showed is not so much a park, but just random coaster shots.

 

Sorry if that sounded kind of harsh, but if you do what I said and actually spend time building and landscaping, your parks will be SO much better!

^ What he said.

 

 

 

Unless this is Six Flags Over Chernobyl, the acid green toxic waste-ish lake doesn't really fit.

I've heard of that place, I just can't remember where it was. LOL!

This park seems very scattered and not very well laid out. Sorry! Keep trying the tips that Ghost said, he's a smart fella' and I know he's got the right idea. Keep trying, it'll pay off!

 

EDIT: One last thing, why Virginia?

[the ghost]

I'm a smart fella YAY! It has been done by a zillion people, but here is an internet cookie.

USE THE SAME PATH FOR EVERYTHING

 

This is the only tip I do not agree with. But everything else is very good to follow.

Does anyone else find the humor in this?

 

the ghost is giving out instructions on how to build a better park

[triggernel]

^Ouch! That was harsh!

[themeparkman25]

I'm rather new to TPR and don't really know much about people, but from the advice he gave he seemed like he knew what he was doing. I guess I could be wrong, but in my eyes he gave good advice.

[mcjaco]

It is good advice.

 

It's just the source.

[CoasterMaker96]

I didn't do that much with foliage and landscaping but my next park will be better. i might scrap this one and start over.

 

 

why Virginia? Because i live in Virginia.

[astroworldfan1]

The ghost forgot the most important rules "Acually finish the park!"

Remember to vote in the poll!

[themeparkman25]

I know that none of us mean to be discouraging, but I personally don't know where you are running with this park. I asked why Virginia because I just didn't see anything "virginia-ey" in the park, and I know the New River is not green! I think you should take the advice given here and give it your best go, whether redoing this park or starting a new one. Keep it up though, I'd hate to be the reason someone quit.

Ouch, that hurt.

[astroworldfan1]

^ We wouldn't be laughing/making fun if you'd finish your parks.

The only thing that would have made it complete was to recommend that a backup should be made in case the file gets corrupted.

I know, I'm not actually offended, I deserve it. I actually plan to finish SFOD though. Also, many players do not finish their parks.

[BelgianGuy]

The best advice I can give you is have patience and finish ride per ride instead of building 10coasters and then don't knowing wich one to finish first. also in the scenario editor, make a nice entrance area, get some CS it makes all the difference. Also learn from the parks you see on the forum, like the ones of TLM BRTeller DBru Robmeister etc. See how they build a park and learn from it thats how I did it with my Thrill Point Park, I didn't have the feeling it was of high standard and I checked on the forum and I made some adjustings while still keeping true to my own style.

 

I hope this helps you with future projects

Well, i've decided to scrap the park completely. The new park will show up within the next few days because i'm taking the time to develop the park piece by piece.

[astroworldfan1]

Also, many players do not finish their parks.

 

They let their parks slowly die out, instead of saying "I'm quiting this park!".

Point taken.
