ericm95 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) I know I've had many parks I abandoned. Mainly due to lack of support. So I'd really appreciate some comments! Onto story... Good Morning Raleigh! You are listening to your favorite news station. It is March 3, 1995 and expect to see clear skies throughout today! We just heard that a new amusement park may be heading our way by 1997. We had an interview with the park proposer Tom Locke. Why are you planning on building this amusement park Tom? Tom: Because I think the city of Raleigh and Durham deserves a local amusement park, and I am hoping that everyone comes out on opening day! When do you expect the park will open? Tom: I am hoping to get the park up and running by summer of 1997, and if not by 1998. Can you tell us anything about the park? Tom: Yes. All I can say is that the park will feature two roller coasters. That is all I can say... Alright Tom we wish you the best of luck and hoping to see this amusement park open soon. Tom: Thanks One month later.... Hello everyone my name is Rich and I am a construction worker for the new Raleigh amusement park. Each month I will update you guys on construction on this park, so here we go. April 16th, 1995. We finished the road leading up to the park! April 22nd, 1995. The parking booths were completed. April 30th, 1995. The parking lot was finally finished! Stay tuned for more... I'm a bit rusty at the game since I haven't played in a while. So comments please!

paradisecoaster Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I personally think it looks better if you add an edge to the roads, so they don't get those shadows. Don't remember what the edges are called, but they are in Shyguy's mainstreet sets. the third or forth i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imawesome1124 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I really love your style of building, very old fashioned architecture. I'm kind of a sucker for that on this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulahoop1 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Well how about Six Flags North Carolina for a name for the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I know I would not name my park that for one simple reason....hmmm isn't there already a park called Six Flags South Carolina? I would not want my work to be compared to a god of RCT3 like CD5. As for names, I would go towards more classic style names, such as Belmont Park, or Elitch Gardens, or something to a similar effect. Lokks great so far, can't wait to see what the park has in store roller coaster wise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradisecoaster Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I have a hard time putting an name on this park, since i don't know how it will be built. But i guess i would name it something with "Park" or "Amusements" or "Adventure" in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericm95 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Well how about Six Flags North Carolina for a name for the park? Six Flags North & South Carolina? Nahh, good suggestion but I am looking for a more original name. And I stink at making six flags parks. Update soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulahoop1 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Oh it was just a suggestion. Yeah I stink at names for a park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericm95 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Cardinal Lake announces The Bayou! Welcome to Shantytown, Louisiana! Population 1,019. This was once a vibrant, small and bustling coal mining town along the swampy bayou. But not everything has a good end, this city was plagued by many unsolved and mysterious murders and fires. The town was abandoned in the 1930's. Today it is one of the most haunted places in all of Louisiana as many unrestful spirits aside now. There are also cases of voodoo rituals taken place here, Now it is coming to Cardinal Lake, so enter at your own risk, and don't be afraid.... Of the Bayou. The park's coaster! Voodoo! Construction will take place alongside Colonial America... Stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
