    Not bad, I think the path is a bit dull though.  Lamps, benches and overhanging plants maybe could add a lot more atmosphere.  The archy is good for the most part, perhaps a the overload of pastel colors could be a problem down the road, as well as the over usage of harsh textures.  But its cohesive and for the most part well made.

    The only thing I'm really missing is path accessories, the rest is looking nice so far.

    Very clean and very stylish. Might be your most polished stuff yet. I agree with the path needed some life but the benches and lamps could rectify that. However, I'm unsure about the stark contrast between buildings. Is this how it looks in reality (i.e., are you basing this off a real building?)? A small part of me feels like the atmosphere is suffering because of this. If you keep everything bright and tropical you're going to have a great vibe here.

    I'm guessing the dark building is the Minotaur-labyrinth-thing. I understand the dark atmosphere, but I agree that the contrast is a little sharp.

    I get a very FredD-vibe from this... Doen't know why, I just do. :p Maybe I'm starting to pick up on people's individual styles.

     

    Not much to add, most of it has been said. Lamps and benches will improve this massively. I don't mind the stark contrast between buildings, but I hope the difference between individual buildings isn't that big througout the entire park. Nonetheless is this some high quality work. keep it up!

    Great work. Like it a lot. Roof tops could use some work though.

    the facades are great, the beach and boats are great, but this screen really doesn't come together at all for me. To my eyes the atmosphere half suggests a throwback, completely themed park from the era before we discovered backstage areas, but the other half suggests the new style of theme park realism, and they don't gel. I'd suggest full-themed roofs and more suggestive foliage but that might not be direction you're going for.

    My goal is to do a heavy themed park with a realism touch to it. Port Aventura is the greatest example for me. Those parks do have backstage areas as well ;)

     

    It's an old habit to do paths and benches etc as the very last thing. I should do it immediately, not only for making the paths look better but also to save me one hell of a task later on.

    He is American, he doesn't know themed parks that aren't Disney.

    I wasn't aware that living in the United States prevented someone from visiting or looking at other theme parks in other countries, or even Busch Gardens.

    From my past experiences on this site, most Americans don't bother with it.

    Do I smell some spicy xenophobia in here?
  • Coasterbill%s's Photo

    There are a ton of theme parks in America that aren't Disney Parks... Universal (Florida and Hollywood), IOA, Silver Dollar City, Dollywood, Busch Gardens Tampa, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, to a lesser extent Sea World Orlando and Knott's and some others I'm probably forgetting.

     

    As far as the screen goes, it's very nice. The path is a bit plain, but peeps will help a lot.

    That's kinda harsh :(



    Silver Dollar City is the most immersive park I've visited. There are heavely themed parks beside Disney in America. And it's not like every European park is themed as much as Phantasialand or Port Aventura are. Other culture, other way to create vibes and make it cosy.

    There's also some non-Americans that don't bother either: http://www.nedesigns...n1/?tab=screens

    Come on guys, don't make a fight about it... Let's keep it friendly :)

    I have absolutely no idea what my profile of RCT screens has anything to do with real theme park knowledge.

     

    Idk, why this always escalates so hard. Many American theme park fans (not only here) do have problems really grasping European parks, so I don't think every single American on this site has to come forward to defend 'Murica

  • Bubbsy41%s's Photo

    I feel that some of us Americans came to "defend" American theme parks because they do exist outside of Disney.  Just because they aren't like Phantasialand or Europa doesn't mean they aren't theme parks.  To say American's have can't grasp European parks is true but for you to say there aren't any true theme parks outside of Disney is false and it doesn't seem you can grasp that Busch Gardens and Dollywood are things.  Not trying to be rude or anything because it's true in both cases.  Not many Americans have been to a lot of the European parks and vise versa
