(Archive) Advertising District / Hoosier Park, Amusement and Casino

Come on man, you're not just inspired by Coupon, you're almost exactly copying him. The entrance, the carrousel, the red coaster layout, the wild west, it looks just the same. You clearly have the technical capabilities, now use your own ideas and you'll become a great player.

Work continues, the whole park is being redone. A slow process.

I really like it. Nice job! Edit: sheesh I thought I was in the dump place. Nevermind lol.

It's dead

90% of your screen is concrete. The other 10% potentially has a good atmosphere. Peeps would help.

It's just so boring for me. At least add some AC units on the roofs, it always adds a nice touch. Peeps will add greatly to both atmosphere and you're enjoyment while building, so they are always a good idea. I would maybe try re-doing the fountain too, very 90*. You could really make it shine with some Deco pieces.

Overall, I like where it's going, but it's not there yet.

Another thing I would consider is to change the paths. Gray tarmac usually make an area so lifeless and un-atmospheric and this is no exception. The paths sort of blend in with the black, overused roofs as well.
I'd also say to raise some (not all) of your buildings another story to not make it feel so monotonous. Also, It will make your open paths feel more narrow, which you need.
Also, Make some of the rooves not flat and a different color than BLACK.

I would tighten up the paths a bit, it looks a little spread out. If you build on a smaller scale for the most part all those empty spaces will be much easier to fill. If you are going for realism, which it looks like you are, I would add in signs, statues may be, LOTS of trash cans, benches, lamps, and of course peeps later on. There could be more flowers and foliage as well.

Height variations on the landscape will help too. In real life even if a large area looks flat at first glance, there is probably an elevation change somewhere, like 5 feet or so, and that can make a big difference when building your park and mixing things up.

Of course the screen isn't finished, but add more ideas and interesting things to the mix. Sculptures or statues, roller coaster interaction. Looks solid though, nice start.

I really dislike the tires objects.
Overall I don't really agree with the whole concept of uber-realism, but even within that concept it lacks some vividness and atmosphere. I'm missing signage and odd features really. Those cheesy things you'd find in any themepark, like clouds on that big blue box in the western area.

You do have some nice skill though. The western Area looks real nice, and you've improved quite much.

thats certainly a lot more intersting, it definitely has more life to it. it feels a lot more like main street usa, like celebration city or something. I'd like to see a bit more height in the structures, frankly. I know Americans don't have much in terms of theming inspiration, but we have Busch Gardens and Disneyland and you can really appreciate their scale. Even if you're going for a six flags park, you could at least appropriate a little bit of the style and go with that (check out the entrance to six flags st louis, that one is quite nice actually).

That screen is lovely.

Started working on this again.

Looks like a really fun little realistic park. Very inspired but good realism. Can totally picture this anywhere in America.

The era of Starpointe-inspired amusement parks begins, today!

This looks like a compilation of myself, Maverix, Coupon and djbrace1234. You definately display understanding of architecture with the structures you have made. However I do not like those queue railings that you are using. On the wooden coaster and the intamin shuttle coaster you used the 1k post and the deco pieces and it just looks so weak. Also the other attractions use balcony railings which I have never been a fan of. Overall it looks quite nice but could use a bit of refinement. Keep up the good work bud.

Come on...nothing this exciting could possibly exist in Indiana.

I like it.

Looks great, nicely organized.

This is lovely.

I don't know what it is, but all the different structures and gardens don't seem to flow or mesh together for me. The second screen especially. Maybe it's just me.

that looks really great! but I think the foliage needs to be tidied up. bushes and flowers and stuff instead of just flat grass, it looks a bit unfinished atm.
