    Disney's America (Iceman? You'd better do this before I get to it)

    I already attempted that park once. I could have done a fairly decent recreation of DA thanks to all of the concept art I've gathered, however I just lost interest. It's amazing the things I've started with such enthusiasm only to let them die a quick death. Look for the announcement of the last park in my "trilogy" soon.

    Congratulations on the parkmaker spot. Way to represent the Disney Mafia. :mantis:

    I will say this....
    Damn good job. Had me into it 100%. Refine the themes a little more and you win this contest.

    Yea, this was pretty fantastic. I've been waiting for so long now, for a Disney park that wasn't at all conventional Disney.

    Simply amazing work Xcoaster. This park had me looking for more than an hour, just fascinated by every little detail. One thing I loved was the murals that you created on the buildings.

    Really great work. Congrats Xcoaster on the parkmaker spot, and the 3rd place!

    I have to ask, why didn't you call it DisneySky or DisneySkies?

    First off, so I don't forget: congrats on making Parkmaker!

    Anyway, when I first looked at this park, I didn't really think it was as good as some of the lower placing parks. Sure, it was excellent work, but not very refined.

    Then I opened it again and took the time to look around. Holy shit, this park is cool. I'm not going to go through all the details I found, because I don't feel like sitting here for five hours, but some of the cooler stuff:

    - The murals on pretty much all the large buildings
    - Those pistons in the Open Skies area
    - The rockets in Starry Skies are the coolest thing I've ever seen (once I figured out what they were)
    - The oversized windows on the buildings under the Laputa castle... never thought of doing that

    All in all, a little unrefined, but a kick-ass park, to be sure.

    i loved the 'around the world in eighty days' station, fucking awesome. i think everything that can be said has, so i'll just say congratulations, and good luck in the future, i loved the park. definitely deserving of third place, those next two had better be good.

    Hmmm... come to think about it, "DisneySkies" has a better ring to it. But DisneyAIR looks better on text, so it's a wash. :lol:

    Personally I prefer DisneyAir because of the following sort of context/implication problem:

    "On behalf of the captain and crew, I'd like to welcome you to Miami International Airport, and once again, thank you for flying DisneySkies."
  • Corkscrewed%s's Photo
    Yeah, but you don't hear them saying "Thank you for sailing DisneySEA" on a cruise ship. DisneySEA's name didn't stem from the transportation aspect of it. ;)

    Land, Sea, and Air. Not Land, Sea, and Sky. ;)

    Well technically speaking, he had space in this park which doesn't have any air, so OH NO!

    Anyway, here it is, a whole lot of small details!

    A nice little arboretum-ish area within the space area, very, very disney-ish as well.

    This screen just shows how much X took into consideration the ride experience for the peeps as he deliberately placed the aliens at an mcbr of the coaster where it would be going slower and thus the aliens would be easier to view.

    I don't even have to explain this. This is the best themed sign ever created.

    Posted Image
    This was a little hard to decipher at first, but upon closer inspection you can see the two stone figures holding up the emblem for the entrance to the ride. (although from that screen you can see that the queue line obviously isn't connected all the way to the entrance!)

    Only crazy people go to this much effort for bench placement! ;)

    I don't know why, but I love how that cloud is supported, it really contributes to the realism that this park exudes (except for the flying coaster's launch!) Its also a shame that you couldn't finish that ride there and the rest of the park.

    Posted Image
    Supports for an indoor coaster in rct = commitment.

    Posted Image
    This is just a cool screen. From what look like standard blocky architecture at first, you then see those windows, the path that connects to the doors, and the subtle differences between adjacent buildings.

    I love this right here, "painting" the earth and stars on the side of the building is really something Disney would do to help the atmosphere. Great idea, great execution.

    The elevation of Condor Flats is shown to people outside the park; brilliant.

    Damn Phatage, I was gona do that, tho you left the 2 parts I thought were the best. I will do this for every park once yours is released.
  • Phatage%s's Photo
    I was still in the process of uploading, but I had to stop because the pics stopped showing up. What am I doing wrong?
  • hobbes%s's Photo
    You appear to be using the path from a FTP. Which is...weird.
    Where are you uploading these pictures? Try www.imageshack.us/. What you're doing now isn't a URL, its a FTP path... and that shouldn't be working period, to my knowledge.
  • Phatage%s's Photo
    That takes too long though; I was using Camisado's hosting service to save time. Is there anywhere I can upload all the images at once and whatnot?
  • hobbes%s's Photo
    Register with ImageShack and you can upload a .zip full of images.

    Edit
    Ah, I see what you've done.
    Gimme a second and I'll have them working for you. :)
    Viola.

    Alright, to use an image from Camisado's host, this is the "prefix" if you will:
    http://www.fulleffec...com/newelement/

    Then the directory of the image, and the image name.
    For example, say you create a folder "My Folder" in the root directory (the highest up you can go). Then you upload
    "my image1.jpg" into that folder. The URL would be:

    http://www.fulleffec.....my image1.jpg


    (%20 is used to indicate a space character in the URL.)
    That help?

    Ok, I got it now, thanks a lot.

    Anywayssss...

    Each quadrant of the flying saucers has its own elevator that brings guest up from below, and not to mention a suspended control panel as well.

    I first noticed this building because of the giant door, which is a great idea with great execution, and then I noticed the creatively made lobby-area-type shop on the corner.

    Posted Image
    We have here suspended lights, racing lights, and everything you would see at an auto race.

    Again, x's attention to detail and practicality is evident here, the transition between tracks is ingenious.

    Posted Image
    I like how the building looks a tidbit dilapidated as well as the stairs leading up the tower.

    This is underneath the entrance, I'm not sure what it is.

    Posted Image
    Nice attention given to the ground-arch over the door and that stall there.

    Posted Image
    This one's a little more obvious, the scenery inside the coaster's building.

    Posted Image
    The sign and compactness of Mission Space is brilliantly executed.

    Posted Image
    All that theming is for one drinks stall.

    Not one detail small enough to slip through x's watch.

    Posted Image
    Its hard to notice, but 80 Days' station is out in the open under the restaurant.

    Posted Image
    I like how right from the entrance you can see the trains on this ride depart from the station from outside.

    Posted Image
    There's a shop under that loading platform!

    This sign display was pretty cool, I'm guessing its displaying which rides aren't open or something along those lines.
