tdub96 Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) So to kick off this topic, here's my project: Cheseman's AP&Fright Farm, an amusement park located in southwestern PA. I havent finished much, its about 35% done, a 150x150 park. Here's the GCI coaster 'Maverick,' located near the back of the park. All screens are unfinished (those bare grass areas will be forested), please enjoy and comment! Edited February 22, 2011 by tdub96
djbrcace1234 Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Not sure if you need the fence for the trees in that turn considering the ride itself is already enclosed. Love the layout though. It's fantastic! Foliage is beautiful as well.
braztaz Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Not sure if you need the fence for the trees in that turn considering the ride itself is already enclosed. Love the layout though. It's fantastic! Foliage is beautiful as well. Agreed with everything you said, but I noticed two trains on the lift hill in the first picture...I suggest using block sections!
tdub96 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Posted December 27, 2010 DJ-Thanks a lot for the comment. I think i will remove that fencing there, glad you enjoy the coaster so far. Braz-Thanks to you too. The screens are from testing so I havent put block sections in yet. I just wanted to get good results before putting in the finishing touches, block brakes will be added. Thanks.. Keep em coming boys!
Retro_Gaga Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 I actually don't think you need trees in the surrounding areas of the coaster, it's the south-west and from what my view is ( I could be totally wrong ) many parks down there don't have heavy forestation if any at all. I really like the way it looks now, without forestation, but it's your call. Absolutely incredible work though!
paradisecoaster Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I like the building for last brake run, but I don't fance the station building, mabye if you made the station more like the one on the brakes it would fit nicely.
tdub96 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Gaga-Actually the park is in southwestern Pennsylvania, just this ride is themed a bit to the Wild West. So that being said, with the location, I think I will continue will foresting the surroundings. Glad you like it though, thanks for the comment! Paradise-Thanks for the comment. I'm not really sold on my station either, so I think we may very well see a change in that aspect. Thanks. As for the rest of you at TPR, keep the comments coming! I'd love to hear what you all think of this so far!
imawesome1124 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 That GCI looks awesome. I agree with paradisecoaster on the station. The two completely different buildings look kind of awkward. The layout is definately a win though.
tdub96 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 ^Thanks for the comment. I'm working on the station on my other computer as we speak, as well as forestation and the finishing touches to this area. I'd say this GCI is about 95% done, as for the park, approaching 40%
Retro_Gaga Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 ^^ Oh my bad, I never saw PA, in that case please continue Sorry Again.
rctfan123 Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Foliage is great, try working on some of the ground texture around the foliage and below the coaster.
tdub96 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 ^thanks I'll try to get some more screens up for all of you this weekend. But for now, if anyone else has any thoughts/comments/suggestions feel free to post.
tdub96 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Posted December 31, 2010 Here's a screen of the cornstalk maze at the Fright Farm. After exiting the fright barns, you must navigate your way through the challenging maze. Let me know what you guys think!
RCT2day Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 thats really interesting but at times the cornstalk is too much or too little around what i believe to be the path people navigate through. Also, i wouldnt show any chain fence so maybe cover it with some cornstalk but overall a very interesting idea. Good job
imawesome1124 Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Very nice, I like it. Reminds me of the corn mazes at a long gone pumpkin patch that I went to when I was VERY young. Ahh, memories. Keep this up, I am really liking this.
tdub96 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys. I'll do my best to make this look better, more realistic. I threw this together in the SE so it is a bit sloppy, I admit.
tdub96 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 New for Cheseman's in 1997! Timber Rush, a thrilling woodie made by the internationally accliamed Custom Coasters. Take a ride on this beast as it thunders through the woodlands of PA. Timber Rush, only at Cheseman's Amusement Park and Fright Farm! ---------------------------- Havent done much work on this lately due to contests and such, but heres an update. Enjoy!
djbrcace1234 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I'm not understanding the queue railing on the exit side of the station, but your foliage and landscaping is beautiful.
tdub96 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks DJ. I probably did that subconciously one day lol . Should be on the other side haha
tdub96 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Ghost Rider, Cheseman's Gravity Group wooden coaster, built in 2009.
JJ728 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Very cool, the ride will look great once the surrounding land is forested. The only thing I would have to say is a personal preference. I wouldn't have the return track cross under the lift hill and back for that one turn. I would either make more turns on the other side of the lift or add more to that turn. Other then that, great work.
braztaz Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I especially like that tunnel to the top right of the screen, it adds a nice touch!
tdub96 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys! As always, more are welcome
