tiger01 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) A new park in north England opened up today and I went to check out the park. Shot0000.bmp The crowd pours in for opening day... Shot0002.bmp First things First...Wood Chopper! Shot0003.bmp Wood Chopper is the only wooden coaster built in the UK for Years! Shot0013.bmp The ride was Built by The Gravity Group but was not featured at the IAAPA because it was a secret Project! Shot0010.bmp The Queue built up very quickly! Shot0012.bmp The Pre-Lift really gets you ready for the powerful ride ahead! Shot0013.bmp Some First drop madness! Shot0014.bmp Oh yes there's Airtime! Shot0003.bmp This coaster could really make it up there with the big Guys! Shot0009.bmp In the rest of the park there are some very nice gardens. Shot0004.bmp Vintage cars for the little Thrill Seekers! Shot0006.bmp The Revolution is not as Popular as the Wood Chopper but is a very thrilling ride. Shot0015.bmp I didn't check out the rest of the park because I lost track of time riding Wood Chopper. The Ride is amazing! But I saw a glimps of a Ferris wheel over the back of Revolution. Shot0005.bmp Good Bye Oak Tree! Edited November 22, 2010 by mcjaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotrobot Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 If you're going for realism. I don't think articulated trains on an out and back woodie is the best way to go. Try regular 6 seater trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gci2011 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Thanks for the overview. A few suggestions: - Use a bit more variance with your trees. Alternating the same two trees along all paths is a bit repetitive. Try to use three or more trees. Save a patch of them in the scenery editor, then place them over the empty spots in your park. It will be boring, but it'll look better. - What year is the park set in? Just wondering. - Do you have any CS or expansion packs? I highly recommend these as they really help your park. Lots of new rides come with the expansion packs too, its not just about the waterpark or zoo theme. As for CS, it takes time, but your park can look really nice. If you look through my park (see my signature), I started with no CS and a few rides. After time, I learned to add buildings and landscaping and my park has really "filled out", if you know what I mean. I'm certain that this park could look really nice, just a few small adjustments to be made. Nice start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hey, i've just been sorting out the park. If you're going for realism. I don't think articulated trains on an out and back woodie is the best way to go. Try regular 6 seater trains. Thank you for the advice. I realised how silly it looked when you spotted that out. I have changed the trains. Thanks for the Comment. gci2011- I don't have an expansion pack as I don't really want to pay more on something I play for fun. Although it might make a difference I don't plan on getting expansion packs or custom scenery. Here's an update... Shot0071.bmp I've changed the trains on Wood Chopper. What colour do you think the trains should be? Shot0079.bmp I added a nice little train ride. Shot0084.bmp I'm really happy how Mountain Falls turned out. Shot0087.bmp Let me show you the route of Mountain Falls. Shot0090.bmp Out of the station you turn a corner and go up the lift... Shot0092.bmp Then it's down the drop and into the cave! Shot0093.bmp Then oyu go out of the cave and into the forest Shot0096.bmp ... Shot0097.bmp Then you start climbing the mountain... Shot0099.bmp After you turn the corner overlooking the beautiful park... Shot0101.bmp And then you go down the biggest and wettest drop and splash!! Shot0103.bmp And then it's back into the station. Shot0110.bmp Airtime! Shot0112.bmp Vintage cars in the basement. Shot0113.bmp This is the room on top of that portion of the ride. Not much. Shot0117.bmp Wood Chopper looks like it has finished it's ride. That's all for now. Please comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
