coasterdude5 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thank you guys for the comments. I'm glad the project was missed! Nighttime at EarthQuest Here are a few shots of what the Sky area will look like at nighttime. It will be bright to say the least (thanks to energy-efficient lighting, of course). Here's the same shot from last update, only as seen at night. I'm still working on the lighting for the AeroWing station. I'll keep you posted. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astro Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Wow this is really incredible! Great work! Can't wait to see what you have planned for the next rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom_feeder_13 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 More sexyness as usual, my only gripe would be that the red aerowing trains looked epic on the sky colored track while the blue ones are a bit meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Take a Ride on the Blue Line Hello again! The past week I've been working the Blue Line, a ride which will travel around the Sky area. The Blue Line will take guests on a guided tour around the Sky area and will focus on the live agricultural demonstrations in progress behind the rides and attractions. The station's not done quiet yet, but it's progressing nicely. The ride definitely changes the look of the Sky area. Check back soon. I'll have more Blue Line updates this week. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I looks really good! I really like your innovation to combine rides; like in the monorail and the water boat! However, I understand that the sky is suppose to be clean and crisp.....but the landscaping is boring. Especially around Stratosphere. Id try and add in some different trees for color variation. And even around stratosphere try adding in some grass/mud to just mix it up. Just my advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanSe_Colombia Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I like how the sky are looks very "stylized". And I also think the monorail train and the water boat track looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 More Blue Line progress Blue Line is changing the appearance of the Sky area greatly. The Sky area has changed drastically with the addition of Blue Line. The Blue Line station. This view of AeroWing has changed with the addition of the Blue Line. Here's an overview of the Sky area. There's still several spots still left to fill in. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 A little more of the Blue Line The Blue Line as seen from the Stratosphere queue. The Blue Line will provide some great views of all Sky attractions, including Stratosphere. Any guesses as to what I'll put in this spot? More soon. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylexy2298 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Wow, this part of the park is looking great! I can't wait to see the other sections of the park. My guess for the spot would be a restroom or restruant. Keep up the good work, Kyle M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Awesome stuff as always! Can't wait to see more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That looks like a foot print for the fly swatter. Love the Aero wing, it captures the look and feel of the real ones, with a much longer circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sky Swat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Eh, I honestly don't think that would be a good place for a Sky Swat. Some kind of shop or retail center would make more sense considering the extremely close proximity to the HUSS Jump 2 to this plot. Having two flat rides so close together would be a bit odd considering the somewhat spacious layout of this park thus forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Lots of real parks all over the world cluster their flat rides together. Heide park has an area like this, where its almost like a Flat Ride section. Take a look and this is a fairly wide open park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Lots of real parks all over the world cluster their flat rides together. Heide park has an area like this, where its almost like a Flat Ride section. Take a look and this is a fairly wide open park. I know, but they are sill very close in proximity and since this park is a visual experience, it would, in my opinion throw off the whole "futura/aviation/sterile" feeling this area has.

coasterdude5 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 The Wait is Over Alright, so what will take the place of that slab of concrete? If you guessed a bathroom, you are correct! This will be a state-of-the-art restroom facility which will be green-certified. I've switched out the style of The Blue Line's train for a more realistic one. Thoughts? More soon! -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Edge of Beast- Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The whole park is doing wonderful, John! Although, I would love to see more sections of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Love that wing rider so much, fantastic layout and I love the way it integrates into the landscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanSe_Colombia Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I like the new Blue Line's train it looks more sophisticated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Tweak Tweak Tweak I'm constantly making tweaks to the design. That's the beauty of the design change (and having a lot of time as more financing is secured). As shown in the previous update, the new Blue Line trains look much better. Aerowing's two bunny hills preceding the brake run have been combined into one to prevent the train from valleying. Right now I'm working on a very exciting attraction. We are partnering with a very popular gaming console to bring a hybrid prototype 4D experience to EarthQuest Adventures... I'll share more details soon. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Just keep building. I'm hearing some whispers about a possible EarthQuest Adventures funding collapse, but I'm going to ignore those and continue working on the design of what will surely be a great park. The new Blue Line trains really look nice on the track. I've begun working on the facade for the prototype 4D attraction. It's far from being completed. More updates soon! -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamez Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Even if the funding does collapse you should keep working on this. Its absolutely gorgeous, and I'm a huge fan of how clean it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 This is so amazing! I cant wait to see the other areas you create for this park. Will this be like the last park you did and the different areas will be separate files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^ Yes, separate files. Sky's almost complete...almost. The Sky area of EarthQuest Adventures is slowly but surely taking shape. The Blue Line station has greatly changed the look of this part of AeroWing. Stratosphere is still the tallest attraction in the Sky area. Playing around with some filters for an AeroWing promotional shot. More soon! - Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molemaster43 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Awesome. Cannot wait for more progress on the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
