(Archive) Advertising District / MGM's Golden Age of Hollywood

February 12, 2003

MGM Studio's is thrilled to announce the start of construction on a new family theme park celebrating Hollywood's Golden Age. At present contruction has begun on a beautiful art-deco entrance for the park with plans for many fabulous attractions underway.

At present confirmed attractions include:

'Showboat (MGM, 1951)' casino
'King Solomon's Mines (MGM, 1950)' Adventure ride
'The Emerald City' from 'The Wizard of Oz (MGM, 1939)'
'Pequod Adventures' from 'Moby Dick (MGM, 1956)'
Hollywood Blvd. featuring Grauman's Chinese Theatre
and
'Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show' from 'Annie Get Your Gun (MGM, 1950)'

MGM executives at present will neither confirm nor deny rumours that MGM is negotiating with other studios for licensing of other classic films from the 1940's and 50's. They would however confirm that artist's sketches of the entrance plaza will be released later today.

Sounds quite cool, even better with a little screen to go with it.

nice intro
I can picture the large buildings in this park, with rct2 thye would be very nice

Sounds good. I can imagine you making tons of old and classic custom roofs

I want pics, wow, were are they? This was a pointless post.

How much stuff are you working on? So far I think I have seen screens for three projects plus scenery stuff... crazy. Anyways, screen would be very nice... seeing as there isnt much to reply to as of yet.

In a surprise to many, MGM officials have announced that the construction contract for MGM's Golden Age of Hollywood has been awarded to the Retro Construction Triumvirate of Gable, Garbo and Grant. According to sources, this construction firm specializes in the nostalgic feel MGM desires for their newest theme park.

Also released at this afternoon's news conference was an artist's sketch of the park's entrance plaza. One executive states that "MGM wants to transport its guests back in time by recreating the mystique of Hollywood in the 1940's. The grandeur of the entrance plaza will be the guest's first taste of what our business once was."

sort of nice from what i can see

Is that rct1 or rct2 ?? i cant tell lol

And how did you get that big circle Its not just a large loop is it ?
looks good otherwise

It's definately RCT1, look under the windows, you can see the dark track. Not to mention the hacks all over the screen, lol. Looks good, this a surprise to me. Hehe.

-Brent ^_^

Wow, looks cool, nice idea of the screen. I cant really tell how it looks from the "Artists Impression". And how did you do that circle, its very kewl.

It looks okay from what I can see, yet I cant see very much. I like the buildings' design, yet the buildings themselves look a bit boring, and could use more detail. Post some clear pics so I can critiqe it in a proper fasion.

Nifty pics editting. I know you can crank out great stuff, so I can't wait to see "real" screens of the park.

Looks pretty nice, Toon. I have a suggestion for a movie, Inheirit the Wind. One of my favorites.

Looks intresting... More screens!

It looks like the MGM logo without the lion. You've picked out another novel idea for a park and I'm sure you'll fit it with lots of cool details like Stratford Fair. I'm trying to think of some good classic movies for you but I don't really like much of what MGM was putting out at the time. All the good stuff was coming from Warner, Columbia, Fox, and RKO but since you've limited this to MGM you surely should have Singin in the Rain, Night of the Hunter, and Paths of Glory in there somewhere. 12 Angrey Men is great and so is Inherit the Wind but I don't know that dialog heavy court dramas really translate into amusement parks well.

Dont forget Spaceballs, Blazing.... ::silences self:: ...I just got an idea for a theme park....

WOW, amazing, I want to see the thing in color. I love your work.

Construction has begun along Hollywood Blvd behind the main entrance to the park. We are lucky enough to have snapped a photo showing both Frederick's of Hollywood and The Brown Derby restaurant. Other attractions rumoured to be under construction along the famous Boulevard include Ripley's Believe it or Not, the Hollywood Wax Museum and of course Grauman's Chinese theatre. More on these and many other stores and attractions at a later date.

Bitching.

It reminds me of TLCA's entrance.

Very nice! and very unique. It looks as if you did some hacking.
