Orford Theme Park

I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that my last park has encountered a texture issue, so is on hiatus until I can fix it and repair it.
The good news is that I have began work on a new park!

It will probably be smaller than the last park but will likely be more detailed. I am studying for my A levels at the moment so progress will likely be slow, but I'll try and give updates as often as possible

Here are some screens of the progress so far!

Looks nice so far! Interesting layout as well with that vertical loop so close to the end of the ride.

Gutted to hear about the other project but this looks really good! As I said before the colour scheme is really cool and now we've got a better look at the ride it looks great! That overbank somewhat reminds me of a larger Black Mamba element.

Your attention to detail is impressive, and I like that near inversion element. I would look at reshaping your lift crest though, it looks pretty awkward and gross right now.

All I can say is this is "Nemesis and Nemesis Inferno" inspired!

Thanks for the feedback!

I've been re-shaping parts quite a bit and will work on the lift crest. It is indeed very heavily inspired by nemesis. I love the dense vegetation and terrain/surrounding interaction. It's always cool to be in a queue and be right next to the coaster and also makes the area feel a lot more immersive. The colour scheme accidentally ended up a little like inferno's, but it looked much better than my previous grey and black scheme.

It seems there is a station being built, it's out of supports for the moment and the path is branching out towards a new area of the park

holy freaking poop that is freaking amazing

I'm getting a Jurassic feel from this.

^Probably the vegetation

^no I got the same feeling but with the track and stuff

Tall trees (They really stick out!) are I guess, making that area look Jurassical!

I think it's the various foliage for sure. Still lookin' sweet!

Looks sick!

I've been using most of what little spare time I have to work on this park and my, have I made progress since the last update.
The park is beginning to take shape now, with themes being applied to areas, and paths mostly paved.

The list of coasters has increased quite dramatically, with there being a new dive coaster (Bermuda), Mine train, Maurer spinner, Intamin Launched and of course Ferrum. There is still plenty of room for more coasters so the current line up being expanded upon is inevitable

You'll notice the new custom made skybox, (that is still being worked on, there are a couple of join issues)

There is unlikely to be any news for a while now as I have exams coming up, but for now, enjoy

I need this.

I savor all of these latest photos!

Awesome job! You really got my interest! Just one thing, how is the park running? Those fences, while excelent models, seem to have a lot of polys.

This is looking absolutely fantastic!

^^ It's running surprisingly well. I've added tonnes of clipping to all the 3d's and some of the shrubs to help ease the load of the park. I'm trying to make it so that if you can't see it its not there, so a lot of the things have a fairly short clipping distance, but because at walking level you can't see too far into the distance anyway, the pop-in is mostly unnoticeable. I've tried smoothing it in sketchup but it didn't work too well (still exports with quite a few polys).

I'm constantly optimising as I go so it should run fairly well on most machines and making something this detailed run smoothly is one of the biggest challenges, but I'm trying all the optimisation tricks of the trade to get a smooth result

Well, this looks incredible.

Looks like an excellent park, the invert especially. I love the helix on it.

Here's a little bonus screenshot of the waterfront next to the ''central hub'' of the park which will have an information centre, Fried Chicken restaurant (as seen in picture) and various other shops

Amazing photos!

[mkingy]

Great stuff Bouncy - as always I think you do a really good job of tieing everything into your park!

Nice rocks at the lakefront.
