^ Just giving my opinion of your project.

[mushroomer]

In 2 days youve sure made a whole lot of progress!

Holy crud that space mountain's huge! I dont have the patience to make some thing like that...

Wow! I came up with a good one for the "would you rather" topic
Would you rather make a space mountain like yours or eat gum off of your shoe
...I'd choose the gum...

Anyways im still flabbergasted by this park
Its awesome
It radiates sheer awesomeness

I don't need it.

Thanks for thinking of me though.

All good things must come to an end.

And so, my rein as the Antichrist too, must also end...

with my 667th. post.




No.
There are no updates.
Soon, my young Padowaan. Soon.
Sector D has been slated for development,
A Splashboats, a mine train coaster, and a B&M floorless
have been slated for development in jungle like themed area, "Mysterious Island".
You will see all the details within the next few days. Until then... May the force be with you.

(Wolfman scratches his head...)
You don't think I left too many misleading hints, do you?

Woah thats big.

Almost too big. Is it bigger than the Epcot sphere? If so i'd resize it as the sphere is your centre piece and it would look a bit odd having a bigger stucture to the side of it. Just a thought.

Resize the sphere?
You're joking right?

Even if it was shorter than Space Mountain...
I wouldn't go rebuilding the sphere just because it's too short.

But you're question got me curious as to which one was taller.

The sphere is taller.

Here's how I know...

In the image below, you can see that Space Mt. is off center of the 45 degree line that runs laterally across the screen. (Our point of view is 45 degrees from the grid.) The scenery window is ised as a horizontal line, (along it's bottom edge,) to represent the height of the sphere. NOTE: That I located the bottom edge to the center of the apex of the sphere, not along what would APPEAR to be the top, as that would actually be the surface curving away from the point of view.

The red rides window was used in much the same way, as an indicator of height. It was placed atop the spire of Space Mt. Because we're talking about total height. not just the surface of the structure.

See where the ride window and the scenery window meet? Notice the ride window, representing Space Mt. is a bit lower than the scenery window, representing Spaceship Earth? At this point, you may think that Spact Mt. is just shy of Spaceship Earth. But look at the two lateral lines that represent the centerlines of both attractions.

In this point of view, Space Mt. is actually positioned at an off-set to the lateral line of Spaceship Earth. It is actually a bit higher up in the image. It's not exactly in line with the center of the park. This is so I can take advantage of the extra tiles that ended up on that side of the park. So I can make the largest Space Mountain structure possible.

So, take that distance, plus the distance of the height difference, add them together and you'll see that Space Mt. is quite a bit shorter than Spaceship Earth. Now consider that some folks don't consider spires & antennas as part of the actual structure. So if you don't happen to include the spires as part of the structure, then Space Mt. is considerably shorter.

Dude.. really? You HAD to go check?

So take THAT, Louis!

Lol... I don't know WHY but that whole last post was freaking hilarious! There's your typical Wolfman...

[RCTNW]

First let me say that it is impressive however I do agree with Louis!. Remember, bigger does not necessarily mean taller. When looking at the SS you provided above, the dome for space mountain is larger in square footage and gives it (IMHO) more importance or focus than the sphere does.

That said, keep up the good work

An ambitious suggestion, put Space Mt. around Spaceship Earth. Like the top being Spaceship Earth and the Space Mt. structure around it too eliminate the high amount of popularity of Space Mt. even though Spaceship Earth is the centerpiece.

[Wolfman]

That was my Ludwig Von Drake showing there...


As far as the rest of the suggestions...

I want to start the next phase in park development,
So, lets just leave well enough alone.
