(Archive) Advertising District / Epic Adventures

That's quite a good screen, and uses color schemes that most people on this site wouldn't dare. However, that arch building would be better as simply an arch, or if it is supposed to house important ride mechanics, with a door and machinery instead of windows, especially those pirate ones. The alternating aqua bricks and gray stones on the other side of the arch really just look ugly, and I think that the grey supports of Goliath really clash with the blue color scheme you've got going. I've learned to think of unusual color schemes in a manner similar to the way I think of concrete brutalist architecture: it's incredibly hideous unless the architect was willing to put in the extreme care to make it exactly right.

edit-Also, the use of the word epic is quite comical, because little about this park literally suggests an epic or gives the mindset of one. It seems that you based the name off of Six Flags Great Adventure, but I'd say that it would be best to hold off on the final name until your park is complete and come up with one that describes it as a whole. Your building style strikes me as a sort that demands to be recognized in any particular work's name in order to paint a suitable mood in the viewer's mind.

Wait, did you just make a hybrid Intamin wooden coaster?

If you mean by the cars are changed, then yes. The meaning of Hybrid with coasters slipped my mind, isn't it when two types of coasters converge or something like that.

Okay, this is a hybrid wooden coaster: http://rcdb.com/ig3231.htm?picture=41
See the steel supports and the wooden roller coaster style track. That's a wooden roller coaster hybrid- steel structure.

Now this is a hybrid steel coaster:

This now has the exact same thing but with steel track and wooden supports. Called a steel roller coaster hybrid- wooden structure.

And now to cover it up, Intamin never design a wooden coaster hybrid, so for realism, make those supports wooden.

Hope that helps.

Gray-painted wood != steel.

-ACE

Oh yeah, like Gemini, it just slipped my mind. But no it really wasn't supposed to be one. I just liked the colors, that's all. Should it just be brown supports?

Lol, yeah I didn't clear my self too well did I...

Yeah BR, just make the support colors brown.
-JDP

If youre going to put in a comment about a new style train you used, Why didnt you show them in the screen?

I'm just not seeing these "epic adventures". Sorry.

I did change them to brown.

Now here's the update .
Year Eight, wasn't as great as suspected.

Year Eight, Devil Man was supposed to open. But the park is way behind on construction. So they purchased a different coaster, themed it quite nicely, and slapped it at the front of the park were that patch of land was. It's a spiral coaster named nothing else, but Whizzer. Six Flags will never end that trend. But it's a nice little coaster, and should be great fun for the family.

But on a much brighter note, Six Flags has been improving previous areas, and really is making them look much better. They also added a much need bathroom in old country. I myself will do a huge trip report soon, instead of the standard updates. They really have been improving the old parts of the park, and its turning into a better park. More shrubs, trees, land textures. Seems like this park may be in better hands.

Here's of course some pictures. I got one of the new coaster, and also one of a newly vamped area, thats now one of my favorites.


Here's Whizzer, looks not to bad. A nice little new coaster.

Here's one of my favorite newly shrubbed areas. Just makes the ride look a ton better.

-Brandon

well
your supporting on that coaster needs fixing.
whizzer has a ton of bushes.
and remove that little bulding on the island in the last screen.

Year nine!

Year nine is here, and Devil man is ready to go. After some retracking at some points of the ride, its ready. There were some spots hat had some problems, but the park worked them out.

Year ten is next up, and the park is celebrating 10 years. They're saying its going to be one of the biggest additions since the park opened. At the same time though, Six Flags is having some contract issues, and the old park owners are fighting to have it back. Apparently Six Flags didn't do some things that were promised.

The news keeps getting worse. The Dark Knight is apparently having some troubles with testing, its buildings are finished, and the ride itself is. But there are some mechanical problems with it, hopefully it'll open later this year or next year. It just looks like one big box though, with little theming, but the inside is supposed to be amazing.

Here's pictures of Devil Man.




Hope you enjoyed year nines update. Wonder what could possibly be next?

-Brandon

I like the que covering in the first screen, the rest is meh.

A decade of Six Flags Epic Adventures!

Wow, it's been already 10 years! Well, Six Flags wouldn't not do something big for there star park. So for the tenth year in operation, the park is adding two major attractions. One that will open when the park does, and another that may open a little later in the year.

Lets start with the ride that will be opening today, along with the park. Superman Power of Tower, and Kryptonite Plummet. This four tower, S&S contraption will either launch you straight up with Superman's power. Or will shoot Superman down with Kryptonite Plummet.



Now lets go to the biggest new attraction for the year, Scream! Scream!, will take you off through tunnels, and will be one heck of a ride. Oh did we mention, there will be no track below you! This ride is planned to open on Memorial Day Weekend if construction goes as planned.



Now the news isn't over, Six Flags has decided to put the park up for sale. To hopefully almost bring them out of debt. Cedar Fair, and Paramounts apparently starting the Amusement Park game again. Those two industries have been offering some really high amounts. So we'll see if the park gets sold off. Some rumors are that the old owners are trying to get the park back, with an apparent contract break from Six Flags. So only time will tell what will happen. It's kind of weird that Six Flags just put in all these attractions just to sell it, but maybe it has something to do with getting out of the contract.

Expect another update for Memorial Day weekend!

-Brandon

Year 10, Memorial Day Weekend.

Well Memorial Day weekend has come around, and scream is now open. Also as promised, heres a year 10 download.

Theres no more information on whats going to happen with the park being sold off, but there seems like it may get sold for around 300 million or something in that range. But thats if it does sell.



Year 10 Download

Oh, it's far from over. It's just begun.

Thats pretty good, seems to be a decent layout although that could just be the screen, but the supporting is great.

2 flyers in one park?

^ The blue one is an invert...

Looks great like always, keep up the good work. I do want to ask, sense SFEA has a river, will there be any part of the ride were it gets close to the water? Like Manta.
