(Archive) Advertising District / Six Flags Carolina

I´m spying a woody in the overview.
Smells like spotlight.

Like I've told you before... epic.

Whoa... I don't think I've ever had this many responses in under 24 hours. Thanks very much! I appreciate the interest.


Well then.. let's get to the comments. I won't reveal everything, but I'll try my best to answer some questions.

gir- Raleigh is one of the places I've considered among others (Florence, SC being another). I'll nail it down somewhere by the time I'm done, but that is a good place to put it...

Steve- Sorry, no Ride of Steel in this park. The coasters are more on the standard side with a few exceptions. Don't rule out the possibility of something coming after I release the park, though. I have a few yearly additions I'd like to try or something like a rewrite of history by substituting a coaster from the past for something different... like a what-if scenario. But I guess we'll see when it gets done! Thanks!

Comet- Well hopefully I'll be able to deliver. Including kiddie coasters, I think it will wind up at around 9, although don't expect them all huge (see some comments below).

JDP- Appreciate the comments, as always.

RamSam- Thanks. I was looking at log flumes and most of them had some form of catwalk on the higher portions. So I did a triple overlay with flume, bobsled, and wood track. It's one of my most hacked rides actually-- with all those overlays and a double station with both sides taking peeps. That has a lot of headache, haha.

Kumba- Lol- I thought I had always been doing realism? Glad you like it. And yeah, I wanted one of the medium Proslide models in there (actually there's 2 in the park).

Liampe- I'll look at other footers.. I'm just having trouble finding square ones that work. I would like something half the thickness, but then it glitches with supports. I'll keep looking. As to map size... that's the exact reason I start in the center of the map and build out. The park doesn't need to get forced into a place where I'm out of space to build (like Watkins).

Goliath123- The peeps are the biggest pain in the world, but they do add stuff to the viewing so I'll slog my way through the rest of it.

Katapultable- I'm not here to be flashy, so I'm glad it caught you off guard. And don't worry. This won't be like a Six Flags park you've seen before.

Six Frags- If the last week or two is any indication, I'll be building this park for a lot longer! Lots of stuff to do! You can see the comment on footers above, I'll look into that. As for Skeeball.. I'll try my own, although at this point I've sort of ok with those. I think they look alright. I'm saving those other screens for later, but you'll see at least some of them soon enough!

Goliath- Just some screens I've shown to a few on instant messenger. Some of them will turn up soon!

Sulakke- Thanks. Glad you like the peeps.

Louis!- Glad you like it all. The bowl slide is one of the medium size Proslide models that uses a raft rather then a bodyslide. Other companies do them too. See Aquatica at Sea World (Tassie's Twisters) for an example. That's the only kind I've ever ridden, so I decided to base it from that.

inVersed- You are correct. No B:TR. However, the large park with lots of coasters is not what I wanted. Everybody always builds for the biggest and the best. I prefer to do something that's not usually seen. This park is aimed to be a middle of the road park. There are very few totally custom designs here... more things you would find in a typical SF park (SLC, boomerang, Maurer mouse). There's the one main ride (look at SFKK to figure out what that is) and then a few other custom things including some wood in there and another type where only 3 exist in America. It was a few nice coasters, but I didn't want it totally stacked and focused on that. I wanted it to be a more typical SF park.

SSSammy- Good to hear!

nin- See comments above, hopefully that answers it. There's a lot more idea behind my choices and I guess I can go into the sometime if anybody wants.

Nokia- You haven't seen the bowl slides, since they're brand new, haha! Glad you like it.

Liampe- You mean on the map I posted? Impressive guess, actually.

Stanman- How are you finding these things? Well done.

robbie- Glad you like it. You'll be hearing more from me as this goes along!


Well that took most of a class period, haha. Thanks for the great response. It's a good drive to keep going at the pace I have been. Expect new screens in a few weeks... I'll be spacing it out a bit.

Yes! Another park from CP6!

Brian: In the screen showing the archy, is that a smoking section in the back?

Yeah, that's how SF seems to designate them now. I still have to add those little post things they have to dispose of cigarettes. But yeah, you're right.

^It is knowing him. But see in my parks, you can not only smoke, but you can also smoke marijuana and drink alcohol in public (my excuse for not thinking of a smoking section).

Jesus Brian I don't think you can get anymore realistic. You remember to always put in the little details which makes your parks that much more fun to look at. That is why you would never be surpassed when it comes to realistic park making.

CP6- The original realistic park maker, haha.

EDIT: CP6 beat me to the posting punch.

Join the club!

love love love love loooove the screens, man. once again, you're doing an amazing job.

actually, i saw the bowl slides last night

Boring, uninteresting, with things thrown everywhere to give the impression that time was taken but looks like shit.

It's a Six Flags park for sure.

Dude. What the hell are you on?

just ignore him

I really love the screens, looking forward to see more!!!

Wow, this is great. Love the smoking area, I was planning to put them in a park im working on, but looks like you beat me to it. Looking foward to seeing more

-Ryan

As I told you on AIM, this easily one-ups WWAP. I really love what's there and can't wait to see more.

Don't really like it sorry...it's just boring to me.

I mean you definetly have skill it just isn't my style.

cp6, i'm so happy to see this. i had been wondering about your playing activity. now i can be at ease. and in great anticipation as well

Well, I guess it's about time to advertise.
I'll explain more as I go along, but the park is based on Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom and Darien Lake.











There's no expected release date right now, but it's probably past 50%. It just depends how long it'll take to hit the object limit. Once I finish the park, there's plenty of room outside for expansion. Some will be blacked out, but to get an idea of the size, here is the map (200x200 squares).

Bringing it over.





As I told you on msn, it all looks really good, no real complaints that are worth to even write it down. But that is mostly because of the game. Nothing more. Really Really good CP6. 

Good luck on this one  

Now that I look at it, the grass under Mind Eraser (much better than t2 ) almost seems to be lime color, almost too green. I'd imagine plants growing under a roller coaster to not be the most lively, more drab and bare. More of a pet peeve though, so it's not necessary.
