Well, tommorow I'm getting more memory to speed things up, thus giving me the oppertunity I've been waiting for.



So, it's going to be a big park, with different themed areas.



Areas:

TNT Quarry (Western Themeing)
Space Frontiers (._. do I have to tell you?)
Tide Mountain (Island Themeing, Waterpark section)
Thrill Zone (Generic, Lots of Thrill Rides)
Twisted Gardens (A beautiful garden with rides interacting with the scenery)


------------------------------------------------------




So, I'm going to a Rush concert tommorow, so I'm picking up the memory before the gig and then I'll put it in tommorow and get to it!



Note: If anyone has some ideas or suggestions for the park don't be afraid to give constructive criticism, or volunteer to help!

Speaking from large park experience - Limit your size to under 100 to 150 tiles. A full park over 150 x 150 will lag.

oh trust me, I wasn't planning on it being big.

Try to avoid placing a large amount of trees. (it's that lagging animation thing again...) It's easy to get by with "just enough" until it's time for the final touches.

Oh, what's a "harbl"?

[jonnywatts]

It's chat speak for "hairball"


see my thread in disucssion about it. That's where I got it.

UPDATE!

I had this really great idea for Tida Mountain.


I'll figure out how to do it, but what it is will be a roller coaster, with the station UNDERWATER! It'll have this cool like underwater research facility look to it, and I'll call it: "Mariner"

How does it sound?

Sounds good, but please show some pics soon.

Thanks again, guys.


I'm getting my memory chipset today, so I'll be in no-lag zone soon!

Dreams are important to have...

Bad News: Still laggin'!
