Ghost Gardens: San Diego [RCT2]

[the ghost]

So as some of you have probably seen I occasionally post snippets of parks here and there... usually very small projects. Well I recently got inspired playing Gravity Gardens... the other Ghost Gardens(which will hopefully be updated fairly soon) and I suddenly felt inspired to play again. Now before I get started I would like to thank the emerging RCT2 community(especially the ncso builders) for being awesome and inspiring... while I can appreciate that TPR is a place for all skills I am happy to see player from NE and other forums come and build awesome stuff! You all rock!

 

Now: Recently after expansions in both Lego Land with the debut of new attractions as well as a fairly new waterpark along with Sea World with their debut of the Manta Roller Coaster as well as a new Aquatica Water Park San Diego has recently become prime theme park real estate. The mayor was quoted as saying "I really was a b**** before... it's silly to impose on theme parks in areas that are generally not residential" and when that statement was made all the major park chains wanted to build, but I got there first. My name is CJ Morton and I am the leader of Ghost Entertainments... bringing the best in theme park entertainment all over the world. After the successful purchase and re imagining of Gravity Gardens many have been on the look out to work with Ghost Entertainments... and San Diego seems like just the right place to do it!

 

I think sometime within the next day or two I can get a sneak peak of the newest attraction being built... of course I know what it is, but where would the fun be in that? I will give two hints... it's in Sequoia Canyon and riders may need a change of clothes after riding.

 

Hope you have fun following construction of Ghost Gardens... and to the people of San Diego I hope you are ready for something spectacular!

Venice Boardwalk: This area offers a variety of pierside shopping and dinning opportunities. Also to fit the theme of Venice Beach it is the first theme park to have a legal dispensary... where you can often find me, the owner.

Of course we can't all relax all of the time... this was clear when the guys from Vekoma were installing this custom roller skater... Sunburst. The attraction even uses terrain elements such as the water and even features man made elements.

Here you can see the construction area for another small flat ride as well as a gift shop and cafe. To the right you can also see the Pierside Carousel which will soon be completed. The design is based on the aesthetics and charm of an old school carousel.

Of course there's also Sequoia Canyon. Here is the small Evergreen Mall which is mostly a gift shop... but for what I wonder?

SCR103.BMP

Here's for what! A TGG hybrid coaster considered by many to be one of the best, in fact the enthusiast community has given the Gravity Group praise for a fun wooden coaster without the fancy bells and whistles of a lot of the modern wooden coasters.

Many people believe a small water based attraction will be built here, possibly similar to Hershey's Boasrdwalk Section... a small water park perhaps? I can't be sure... Time will tell.

I like your colorful buildings, & that vekoma roller skater, but when I first looked at it, I thought it was built by Zierer!

^ Thank you.

 

Now for a mini update! All screens are unfinished.

Well...

SCR112.BMP

This looks fairly promising!

[historyfreak92]

That's a nice Hopkins, or Intamin Water Rapids Ride, hope you finish this one!

Time for a little progree shot, but a full update should follow in a day or two when I am done with this, but I figure that as I want to "be taken seriously" I would like people to offer criticism to my architecture if they have any to share. Here is one of my favorite things I have recently created.

Sasquatch: A wild wooden coaster through the woods received it's facade today. Park management said that it fits a similar theme and color pattern as several other attractions in the Sequoia Canyon area of the theme park.

[historyfreak92]

I say that's a nice station that I can hardly ever do!

[CpBluestreakCp]

It looks great, much better architecture than I can do.

 

Can't wait to see more.

So... mini preview/opinions time.

What do you think of the station? Like it or scrap it? I am trying to keep with the "theme" of color but I can't decide if I should start the station over or just refine it a bit. I have never really attempted a "beach" themed area so a lot of the colors and foliage are throwing me off a little so opinions are high appreciated.

 

By the way so mods don't destroy me for posting one picture updates a big one is on it's way... I PROMISE! I also promise this park isn't going to die anytime soon, I am just VERY bust at the moment with testing/Christmas stuff but should have a major update within the next

 

Also thanks for the feedback so far and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

Now back to finals prep!

This park seriously looks cool! I love the bright colors that mash really well. Nice job, CJ

I love Sasquatch's station, and the colors for Beach cruiser are fantastic!
