Carowinds 2018 Planet Coaster

Enjoy I have changed some things around since these pictures. I am not a amazing Planet Coaster scenery guy but I hope you will enjoy this.

Whole Park

Intimidator

Disregard the ugly square building near Intimidator its gone

Looks good so far, you have a ways to go still before it's done. It's a great start though like I said.

Some more updates, Just showing the area I have gone through. Started on Rip Roarin Rapids, (I'm working on the queue cant make a dual station) Vortex started working on that. Enjoy none the less.

Just some small updates started on Kiddy Hawk and Carousel park area

Looking good. Keep up the hard work.

Solid Work. I'm anxious to see your rendition of Copperhead Strike.

New update not much of a major update started working on Panda Express and area around Harmony Hall. I placed some rides in areas to see how I am doing. Just little teaser stuff. Enjoy

Panda Express and Harmony Hall

Woodstock Express (I am going to compress the size some)

You can see the big dog in the background

Just another update

Showing off Ricochet and Goldrusher some.

Disregard Fury325 in the background not final was just doing a test fitting

Im back was taking a break from the game.

Starting around Afterburn and showing off Hurler some. I am bouncing around areas so I can see what all I am going to be adjusting.

Don't mind Fury in the background. That is more of a placement thing.

Just a new update kind of loss some interest in the game but getting back into it.

Worried about spacing in this area. I know its not right. Going to try and figure something out with it

So just a small update as I have had to move somethings around.

Intimidator has been moved over some so I can fit more of Camp Snoopy in properly.

Also I worked on the queue that way it is not a full queue path just scenery

Beginning of Carousel. Im trying to make this roof right

Hurler station

Also don't pay attention to the supports and or FURY I am just beginning to place to see where I am at.

As always enjoy and please give any feedback you know I am not a master at this game but its fun for me

So just some updates hopefully you enjoy. I had a big learning time with some placement and I am having to adjust some areas. Specifically the old county fair area. I moved them farther away to maybe be able to fit some more of the park in. This is just some updates I am slowly working on and also showing where I am in the process

Theather construction

Fury starting to come in to play

Just a small update from the actual park.

Carousel Area

Ricochet

Carolina Boatworks and Sweet Frog ( I am going to redo Boatworks)

Camp Snoopy

THE BIG QUESTION

I am debating on how to do this area my spacing is off and if I start really building it will be crunched up.

What do you feel I should do?

^You can continue with what you have... eventually adding paths/large paved areas, and see how that looks.

-OR-

You can spend some time (a long time!) studying overhead maps (google, etc.) of the park and map out the place. Find the approximate distances and angles between stuff and go from there. Draw it all out on paper, then go into a fresh game and start over. It can be a lot of work, but if you want it to be closer to the park, it's possible.

This is how I used to figure out coaster angles in the 80s, when I was building model coasters. I spent a lot of time studying drawings, figuring out not only angles but radius'; both radius of layout and radius of curvature on the profile. This is how I was able to get drawings/models to look close to the real thing. Distances between ribbon boards on wooden coasters - good memories! Long before anyone had a computer; now, you have the world at your fingertips if you want pictures and information on parks and coasters. It all comes down to how much time you want to spend.

I did this America Eagle on No limits around 2009. It took me a month of work to get it close enough; I can clearly see flaws, but got it "to my satisfaction." The same can be done with a whole park.

(Geesh, what cruddy resolution! This video clip isn't even complete, but enough is there to see the work put in.)

Thanks JT325 I am going to take a break from that side and work on the other side

New update

County Fair starting to come into shape. Plus some night shots

^Looking good! Especially at night. Planet Coaster is almost TOO awesome, isn't it?! It's crazy how much time I can spend on it.

Just a new update to Thrill Zone and started working on some more of Fury area

Just some other updates.

Different View of Fury Area

So im still here just been doing some other projects and relearning some techniques.

Showing off some Camp Snoopy area.

Just a new update kind of loss some interest in the game but getting back into it.

This happens to me all the time... This is why I have a VERY hard time doing any time line parks, or park recreations. I can do ONE coaster... but more than that and I lose interest.

However, your recreation is looking great so far. I say stick it out! This has the potential to turn out amazing!

Just another update. I am working on Wings restaurant and more of the county fair area. with some of the games and all

New update starting in Camp snoopy and Panda Express

This is the area I am dredding because I do not have the right sizes in the other area. I am going to do what I can

Some more of my Carowinds Park. I drained myself again. So just doing some small stuff added the campground not sure how I feel about it and added some guys. Also working on the arcade near wings restaurant

As always enjoy

New update on my park.

Did a update to the front entrance ( Day)

I worked on Southern Star ( I don't know how I feel about he big sign)

Started on some more shops like Chic-Fi-La and the candy store

Random Image of Vortex Entrance

So a new update Camp Snoopy is in full swing. Some rides will not be there they will just be represented due to either not available or size

As always enjoy and please comment and let me know how you feel.
