5minutestoEmbarkation Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 OK so I usually start a park then get a complete mental block and cant for the life of me remember what it was I wanted to be achieve. Mostly resulting in a square blocky and frankly unattractive park. This is due to my ponchant for entrance Plazas. But this park will be different. I Shall be encompassing the Disney style 'Entrance Plaza- midway- central Hub' pathway system. Hopefully this will allow an entrance plaza and wide midway to be constructed but will not create a blocky feel. With this in mind, on to the build... Full screenshots are avaliable on the preview thread. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28th September 2009 LundGroup PLC. Are proud to unveil the first official shots of their first ever park Tower Heights. The Park Gates. Xpressos coffee shop have been handed a contract which will allow a number of outlets throughout the park. The Monorail Station. The first of many disabled access points in the park. An aerial view of the almost completed Entrance Plaza 'Fountain Square' As you can see construction has already begun on the Midway and Central Hub areas.

Vintage Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 So I take it your going to do the "Disney Hub" thing, and work out with different lands from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5minutestoEmbarkation Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thats the plan. Making it work however is a different matter. As the park will be large I'm struggling with the exact position of the 'Hub' A massively long walk to get to the fun is hardly ideal, but too short a midway leaves too much space behind the 'Hub'. I'm thinking I need another area to break it up or something. Here's some shots of the work being undertaken on the midway. guess what this building will become?

Vintage Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Slow progress just means this is going to be detailed. GREAT job so far. And I'm guessing some sort of ride is going in that building? Maybe a dark ride, or maybe even something as big as the Mummy? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5minutestoEmbarkation Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Who knows?.. But I will say it has something to do with this poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5minutestoEmbarkation Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Some more progress. Please reply as i'm in dire need of Motivation and inspiration. I hate creative block... The end of the main pathway. another angle. Here we see the Bridge over the Hub moat. Heights Cream looks a little different. The newly named Heights Diner has its sign put up. One of the two Cashpoint areas has been converted into the Que Times wall. More slow progress! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And a little teaser of the parks first ride code named S.I.D. 10 points and a free Fastrak ticket to the person who guesses what S.I.D. stands for! The facade The entrance and exit rooms along with the area of the building set aside to house S.I.D. The exit area boasts 3 score screens. 'current Ride Scores', 'Previous Ride Scores' and 'All time High Scores' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPP Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 S.I.D. may stand for: Squid In Distress See, I'm Drowning Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Is Dumb but I think it most likely stands for Shoot In Dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5minutestoEmbarkation Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 S.I.D. may stand for: Squid In Distress See, I'm Drowning Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Is Dumb but I think it most likely stands for Shoot In Dark None of the above! S.I.D. Will NOT be the ride name, its the codename. Clue number 1: the 'D' stands for DARKRIDE Heres more of the park: Marizzio's Fully Licensed Restaurant The newly fronted Fastrak Ticket Office The Monorail Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericmichaellucas Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I loving the look of this park. Some inventive ideas. I'd never considered disabled ramps in place of stairways. By the way...S.I.D=Shooting Interactive Darkride???? The three screens at the end of the ride makes me think of M.I.B Alien Attack at USO. Keep up the great work!

rollercoasterbuff Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Spinning interactive dark ride? lol This is a very cool park. It makes me want to get my hands on RCT2 again. -Cyrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyage_luvr Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Sally Interactive Darkride? This is a very nice park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5minutestoEmbarkation Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Nope. It's neither spinning nor sally lol. I'm hoping to start a discussion with this next update: I've started work on the 'central hub' and have the base of the old carousel built, but i'm thinking I need some buildings in the highlighted areas to break up the pathways, any suggestions?

5minutestoEmbarkation Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 ^ Concession stands, Game stalls, or gift shops sound good at all? Sounds exactly like what I was thinking. I'll get onto it and see what I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5minutestoEmbarkation Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi there, Progress is being made at an incredibly slow pace thanks to a strike by construction workers. However, LundGroup P.L.C. is proud to present its latest update: The discussions over the problematic ‘Hub’ area resulted in yet more space put aside for gardens with inbuilt jumping fountains. It’s entertaining to guests and beautiful to the eye. The base of The Old Carousel can also be seen. Lakeside Cafe has been completed and awaits its first hungry guests. The boathouse will house the Queue line for the Boat hire attraction. (The roof is still missing) The Entrance Building has had the park name sign put up and flagpoles installed. It’s finally ready for opening day! Construction begins on the Outdoor Kids Area ‘SillyTown’. The Indoor play centre will be housed next door. The first of 5 planned car parks: 2 staff, 2 guests, and 1 coach park. And finally... a sneak peek at one of 3 as of yet unannounced Areas.

5minutestoEmbarkation Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 You damn right! Fleet Street will be one of the new areas, complete with the above shown pie shop, St Dunstans church, Hoare's Bank and the barber shop at number 186. The area will feature Sweeny Todd: The Ride as well as appearances from a number of other famous characters from the period... .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 This is great! I'm loving everything you have showed us so far...well, okay, I'm not big on the huge gap of open space/paths surrounding the carousel, but that's alright. The new area sounds like an awesome idea. Is this going to be more of a Universal-type park, with mainly indoor rides and immense theming, rather than a more open and traditional park?

5minutestoEmbarkation Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Me neither, seriously thinking about reworking it but can't see how I can at the minute As for the park itself, it's going to be a mixture of ride types depending on the areas but it is definitely a THEME park rather than an Amusement park so yeah Kinda Universal/Disney inspired.
