(Archive) Advertising District / Electric Park

Ok, so long story short here. If any of you remember, about three years ago I started a topic for a project by the same name. Because I tend to be a perfectionist and spent way too much time on every little thing, I lost interest in the project pretty soon after beginning.

Lately, I've been wanting to build something in RCT because it's fun and I want to contribute to the community. Nin's topic (and the recent Podcast) really got me thinking about how we play RCT and how things used to be much simpler back in the H2H4/ProTour 2 era. Much less time and effort was put into things looking perfect. I kind of wanted to take that idea and run with it, and see if I could complete a relatively small (60x60) park, in a somewhat short period of time. I chose to use NCSO just so I would force myself to use nothing more than the necessities. I'll try to update the topic fairly recently. No promises, though haha.






Electric Park is meant to be a traditional old-school park (much like Kennywood or Waldameer) located in Scranton, PA. Lot's of dark rides and traditional charm to be found.

FIT AS FUCK

holy spitsauce

this is what I'm fucking talking about people.

Disclaimer: This is only example of what said user was talking about. If one wishes to use custom scenery and create more detailed structures, that is entirely understandable and acceptable. It is the idea behind creating a park for the sake of it rather than the act of replicating real life by the block.

i approve

Can't wait to see this in person, even though I'm not a fan of the big building in the first screen. Paramount's Xtreme was a big inspiration for me.

immediately screamed kennywood. looking to have some awesome atmosphere.

Love the use of abstract statues.

Go on, finish this. I'd say it's more detailed than necessary already.

Awesome. I want to build a park like this. Is there a good NCSO bench around?!

Read "Pennyland" as "Pantyland" for a second and got immediately confused. Looks great though!

Fuck it! I'm gonna go download all the H2H4, H2H3, PT2, PT1, and HiRollers RCT2 parks again! This has inspired me to build

Steve: Its very easy to make a decent ncso bench yourself in less than half an hour.

Ontopic: Nice screens. I think that the colour and texture combinations are somewhat adventurous, but it looks like you're having fun. Please continue!

Please don't fall into the trap most NCSO people fall into though, of placing random textures and colours together to make up for the lack of objects.

So far, so good.

God, I keep coming back to look at that second screen. I LOVE the colors and the rides you built

I love the sci fi gate and wooden coaster roof! I don't like the pirate wall and roof.

Wow guys, thanks so much for the kind words! Glad to see that this type of style is still appreciated. Louis, I totally understand what you mean, and I've been giving my best effort to not let that happen. It's tough not to get too eclectic with NCSO, as the objects that are most practical to use can get redundant easily.

Zburns I love you and Ramsam.

I'm excited to see the layout since your Phantom remake has inversions. Both screens reflect Kennywood's atmosphere very well.

All I have to say is that that coaster better have some inversions with those OTSRs.

New screen, and moving right along on this. Probably at about 50%-60%. Not a whole lot to the park, but hoping it packs a punch.
