Mr P Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Indeed, and a Warm Welcome it is! I am Lord Montgomery Newton, owner of Newton Lodge and it's associated Theme Park! Over the past few years I have been busy designing and building my very own themepark! I had more money than sense and a huge plot of land with very few planning restrictions, what else was I to do? Anyway, If you visit the park, chances are that you'll start it here: The Entrance! This Brings you out on to Montgomery Avenue: I can see my house from here! And I can see my Gift Shop, my Starbucks AND my Hyper Coaster! But more of that later, for now lets stick to the Avenue. Gift Shop Exterior Gift Shop Interior And if we follow the path around from the Gift Shop, we come to Marlin Cove: Home to my only inverting coaster... A B&M Floorless Coaster with 4 Inversions (Cobra, Loop & Barrel Roll) Here's where you go in Here's where you get on This is the first drop, followed by the rest of the track. After you go down, you go up again! Next up we have "Caught", an octopus ride. According to my "Imagineers", it's some kind of Squid that was caught, and as a trophy it's captors mounted it and made it into a ride. I Bought it because it looked fun, and it is! Also, we have "Turbo Trawlers", a Jet Ski ride on a small lake. Again, I bought it because I liked it! Just along from Turbo Trawlers is "Marlin Country Golf". It's a mini golf course set in a patch of woodland, seemed a good idea at the time The thing is, I keep getting balls lost in the trees...and the water! The next ride is one of my favourites, mainly because I love Pirates! I Present to you "Bucaneer"! (Imagineers wouldn't let me make a pirate area 'coz everybody has one, so I had to settle for one ride) (Also, forgot to get a Logo done for this 'coz I was out on a Pheasant Shooting Party on the Pointon Estate when the Graphic Designer Chap popped over...) The ride essentially takes you through a Pirate's Treasure Hunt, passing Castles and Pirates and Tombs on the way. The exit comes out through the "Fisherman's Inn" The ride Obviously ends in a stonking-great drop into the lake! This lake just so happens to be next door to... My House! Yes, I live here, in Newton Lodge, in a theme park! My theme park! Anyway, I'm sure you'd love to see inside my house, but alas we have more pressing issues, such as that Hyper Coaster i mentioned earlier... The tour takes us to the second area of the park, "Creepy Hollow"... Something lurks within Creepy Hollow, a Place where the Fearless go, and only the Bravest return. But, "what is this Something?" I here you cry! I Give you: THING Ok, not the greatest name in the world, but that's what it is! An absolutely massive Thing! You can just about see the whole Thing from here. First Drop The Turnaround, before you head back to Creepy Hollow The Second ride here is an Enterprise called "Sacrifice" Followed by a Helter Skelter that goes by the name of "Witch's Tower" I Hope you've enjoyed this peek at Newton Lodge, I hope to bring more stuff to you in the future., But, for now, I leave you with an overview of my estate: Toodle Pips!

PSiRockin Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Woah, this is nice! These are cool layouts and nice atmospheres. However, add some fences on your paths, and get some handymen to clean up the garbage on them. Besides that small problem, this park seems really interesting and realistic!

ericm95 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It's pretty good. I suggest widening your paths and adding footers to your supports. Either than that can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr P Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks for the feedback Will add Footers, fences, widen paths and get some guys in to clean up! Just going through and making all rides a logo/sign, will update again tomorrow Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gci2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Looks great so far, love the name "Thing" for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat-G Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Along with the paths, put fences around the coasters. Look at real coasters, they have lock-out areas where guest cant get into, Also put some srubs and bushs in those open areas, some of your feilds look too baren, but besides that GREAT work!!!!

paradisecoaster Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Mabye the coasters are a bit oversupported, at least that's how I feel it. Rest is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr P Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, Newton Lodge is now ready for it's first summer season! I opened my Estate as a theme park earlier this year, but realised that on the whole it looked a bit bland in places and lacked in rides. So, I went back to the drawing board... The Park Entrance has had a mini spruce-up, and so has Montgomery Avenue... I got annoyed with the prices at Starbucks, so I closed it and replaced it with... Monty's Coffee! Yes, that's right, my coffee! Also on the Avenue we have "Sky Flyer" A Cableway that takes visitors over towards the new area of the park, but I'll save that for later. Ride Signs and Logos have also been added to all rides, we'll start with Marlin Creek: Here we have one of the entrances to Marlin Creek, also showing part of "Marlin Country Golf" Now we move further up the Creek "Caught"'s new signage Another view of Caught and it's theming A quick view of Turbo Trawlers Opposite Turbo Trawlers we have "Treats & Tackle", a sweet shop. I like sweets, that's why it's here! Also, we have lot's of theming additions to "Buccaneer" I thought, for a pirate ride, it needed more piratey things. So I told my Imagineers to sort it out, gave them a huge wodge of money, and they did it! Next up, lets head to Creepy Hollow... The new Entrance to the area, which I quite like. Sacrifice's new entrance sign. Witch's Tower and it's new sign. Onwards to the Major Improvements! The New gardens! I hired a new Gardener to re-design my front garden So, do you want to know where my Sky Flyer goes to? Well, just follow this path to my Back Garden and you'll find... "Monty Newton's Flying Circus!" Now a Couple of Views from my Drawing Room over the new area The Sky Flyer station & "Thunder-Bobs", along with my Summer House. The Summer House again, with the "Dive Bomber" ride. Thunder-Bobs entrance And a little tribute to the original Monty Python's Flying Circus So, that brings my Summer Update to a close! But what's planned for Autumn/Winter? Only time will tell! TTFN Lord N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmereStars Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Good job so far on the park. Both of your coasters look really fun! A small tip to make your shops look better: A lot of CS-packs come with Counter Covers. For example: ShyGuy's Main Street Set #3 has a wooden counter cover that you can use in the shop in your first update. Play with it a little bit and it makes the shop look a lot better! good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr P Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for that, I've had Shy Guys Main Street for ages now and never noticed it! Will be having a play with that wood later ----UPDATE---- Hello loyal patrons of my Newton Lodge, It's Lord Newton here with an Autumnal Update! First up, what's this occurring in Marlin Creek? Ok, it;s interesting, but it's just a new Queue Time Board! Although, something else be occurrin'... It's a construction Fence around the former "Marlin Country Golf" mini golf! That's right folks, I got so annoyed with loosing my balls in the water (steady now, not those balls) that I've closed the Golf Course!, But what shall be replacing it? Well lets take a look at the signs on the fence! "Flash Floods", and the best part is, I know exactly what it is! Doesn't it look watery! More Fences and Signs visible from Turbo Trawlers. In other news, I've decided to hold my park's first event: "Newton Lodge SCREAM PARK". As you may be able to tell, it's a Halloween event! Adverts are displayed on new screens in Montgomery Avenue Preparation is well underway, and plans include a special "Haunted House" attraction opening in Creepy Hollow during the event (But I'm not going to show you any pictures of it yet! ) Srceam Park props are ready and waiting to be scattered through my park. Extra coloured lighting had been placed around the park ready to make it look Spooktacular! Hooked, ready in an aura of blue Thing, sporting a Green-Red-Purple combination And a Shot from Thing's station showing the park in all it's semi-spookyness! Hope to see you during the Creepiest Halloween ever! Regards Lord N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
