the ghost Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Alright guys... I want an accolade... BADLY! I tend to be too hard on myself and never really keep anything... at least not until this awesome GCI layout. If I am being entirely honest, I think it is my favorite coaster I've ever designed as I took my favorite things about certain GCIs and added them in. Also, more photos will be out tomorrow as there is a more updated version of this park on a different computer, but I am not done with that set yet. Also let me know if you like the foliage... Im not done, but let me know if this is a good start. The landscape will change tomorrow as I have added a "lake" or swamp as this is the Rajun Cajun. I know its not much yet... but watch it grow and watch me get my design. SCR37.BMP Overview of the might Cajun! SCR38.BMP Awesome first drop goodness with some other fun elements thrown in such as the dead mans turn. SCR39.BMP Some of the turnaround... for some reason this semi reminds me of prowler. SCR40.BMP A bit of the station(WIP) Edited March 29, 2011 by djbrcace1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Try and not make the shrubs that very dense, but you got the idea with foliage. I'm really liking the layout, too, but personally, I would love if you made that top right hand corner track into an out an back section, for it will give your design more depth overall. Like I said though, it's lovely, and if you need help, (advice or even hacks needed) please don't hesitate to ask or post more screens. I would love to help!

the ghost Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks DJ... I'll give the out and back thing a try, I actually really like that idea, but I will see if it does not kill the pacing. If not I will probably put in another ride(probably rapids) as it will be themed to rafting in a bayou, but I like your idea better, so we'll see how that goes.

paradisecoaster Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Try change the ground colour here and there, so it's not grass all along. but mabye some grass with dirt or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotrobot Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Maybe add some flowers to the foliage so it's not all a shade of green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Alright guys... I want an accolade... BADLY! It still baffles my mind that NewElement has such a hold on our RCT2 players... It's looking great, though! I really like the first drop. I'm a sucker for twisty coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It still baffles my mind that NewElement has such a hold on our RCT2 players... Not me. Anyway, this layout is fantastic, and I can't wait to see the Bayou park around it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCreator9 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Looks pretty cool! Basically all my critisim has been said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotrobot Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Well NE is the only standing RCT2 Forums (foreign sites excluded) except for this. And most people like their accolade system and that's where they go to be a really good player. I was a noob until I finally had the guts to make the leap . Of course I'd never leave TPR. There's just great stuff here that you don't see there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Alright guys... I want an accolade... BADLY! It still baffles my mind that NewElement has such a hold on our RCT2 players... It's looking great, though! I really like the first drop. I'm a sucker for twisty coasters. What can I say? Its honestly just cool to win an accolade or something, but I rarely post there. Its a fun site though just to see the level of detail. I'll see what I can do for the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjune4991 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I love the layout, but as you can see from NE, layout isn't everything. You gotta work really hard on your foliage and architecture for this one. Like someone said before, there are too many bushes in my opinion. Can't wait to see you finish this up.

MeMeMe Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yes, layout isn't everything. It counts, but some less amazing layouts have won due to superb theming. Maybe tunnels, bridges, waterfalls or even unnatural theming, but for now all I like is the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 The computer I'm working on for screens is on the fritz, but its a simple error and my dad said it will be fixed tonight, so hopefully I have screens tomorrow. I reworked a small portion of the layout for a slight out and back section as well as deleted the station... I have decided to give it a more new orleans square treatment, like at disney. I should have a good sized update coming either REALLY LATE tonight(like 1 am) or sometime tomorrow. Tomorrow is more likely, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the ghost Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 It's been a LONG week, so sorry I didnt update when I said I would. I am going to stop giving "update" days actually, but instead just expect updates... I wont make them too long, but I was much busier than expected... I'll let the screens talk for me. Also supporting has not been done yet for the newly added section, but will be there by next update. PS I would love some hackers to invisible things so I can make a realistic looking loading platform. SCR55.BMP The new entry way. This architecture is inspired a lot by New Orleans Square, which is why I included the balcony. On new Orleans square there are several balconies on the second story, whichis just for detail. They all have things like chairs and potted plants, and this is my tribute to that concept. The actual que will just receive some awnings. SCR52.BMP Yes or no? I kinda like the ideas of the canoes floating in the bayou... but I can take it or leave it. SCR57.BMP The red dirt is a coming dark ride called Facilers house of voodoo. Dr Faciler is aka the Shadow Man, from princess and the frog. SCR51.BMP I decided to not give it a full out and back section, but gave it a few airtime hills, such as Plohn's El Torro.

tdub96 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I don't like the random patches of white water in the bayou. Try just placing them around the fountains and the islands, not completely randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Ghost I like your old station better then the new one,but everything else I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjune4991 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I like this station and the old one. What I don't like are those lawn chairs on the top of the new one. Who will use them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I don't like the random patches of white water in the bayou. Try just placing them around the fountains and the islands, not completely randomly. I can totally do that... In fact, that was the original plan, but I saw someone on NE do what I did and it was praised, but I think I may have misinterpreted the screen as it may have been a splash battle or something, but it was hacked to be trackless, so it looked random. Either way, I agree and will 100% fix that. Jjune, I agree... but at the same time I kinda like the balcony and I dont want it to be too bear. I could probably use some peep scenery pieces I have to pt in the chairs and stuff, but I am sort of at a loss of ideas here, cause it seems without the balcony the station will be super bare... I'll see what I can do. Here is a picture of New Orleans Square... although this one is from Christmas, so it is a bit over decorated. However, if you look closely you can see a chair and a table and things like that. Now, granted club 33 is up there, but I have never seen anyone on the balconies, and it is extremely rare to see people up there, but there are tables and chairs and things like that up there. Does this help? I have no issues with necessarily changing the station, I just dont want it to look odd, and I think it may if I delete the balcony. B.A.B: Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately that station is here to stay as the first station did not really have anything to do with Orleans architecture, but to me this one seems "better" as well as I like the details. As stated above, the architecture is highly inspired by New Orleans Square at Disneyland, and I feel the mood and color scheme match that style of architecture more than the old one. Thanks for the comments, guys... I will see what I can do for the next update. The good news is the ride is pretty much done besides the footers as well as maybe a bit of terraforming in that section. The rest of the updates will more be architecture, foliage, and little details with maybe a small ride or something here and there, just so it doesn't feel like dead space. My main inspiration comes from this kind of architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublestufforeo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 On top of the station I'd suggest doing a lounge chair every 2 spaces instead of every space, looks a bit cluttered to me. Also I agree on the idea of the white water being aorund the fountains and bits of land but that being it. Not too big a fan on the canoes either, they all face the same way, and I find it odd there are canoes just floating in the bayou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
