Update: I have now completed this park and I have uploaded it to the steam workshop, here is the link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656327336
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This week I have been told to self isolate for 10 days as someone who I live with has the big Rona, she still out in these streets so be careful, anyway because of this I have had plenty of free time at home to play some Planet Coaster. I have several unfished parks such as the Cedar Fair one and the zoo theme park, but I have currently hit a creative wall with those parks so I have put them on the back burner to work on this new park.
I love the architecture and natural beauty of Scandinavia and it's something that I wanted to recreate with this park. There are some obvious nods to existing parks such as Tusenfryd, Liseberg and Fårup Sommerland and wanted the park to have the same feel as those parks.
This park is going to be fairly small, as I plan to put a lot more detailing into my builds (and I want to get it done before I have to go back to work) . I have completed the first of three phases this park will have.
I should also point out that I aiming for this to be an amusement park rather than a theme park, not that I am just lazy (there is that) but because I love the style and atmosphere of those Scandinavian parks.
This is the entrance to the park which is inspired by Tusenfryd and Faarup Sommerland. The entrance building is similar to the entrance at Faarup. The coaster on the hill is inspired by Speed Monster at TusenFryd, but more onto that later. One of the main reasons for doing this park was to use hilly terrain to challenge me, but also to make my parks look more interesting and I believe it worked well here.
Another shot from above, I think this design works really well in terms of pacing as the train reaches it's top speed mid-way through the ride.
The ride looks more intimidating from the ground below.
At the entrance these stairs lead you to the top of the mountain, I love parks like Janfusun Fancyworld that have this sort of thing because it feels like you are going on a journey and leaving the real world behind. Ideally I would have escalators for that extra realism, but the main game doesn't have them so I hope someone may have made them in the steam workshop.
Eventually I will build a lift, even though I don't need one in game. I don't think any real world park would exclude disable access from the front gate!
On top of the hill is the parks main square, This is the hub of the park which guests choose which direction to go for certain attractions.
* In the centre of the square is the park's Carousel.
* The large cream coloured building is the Fjord Restaurant
The yellow building will be a sweet shop and the red will be the parks main gift shop. The white building in the corner is the donut stand. While the style of the building I was going for is usually found in Swedish coastal areas I felt that it would fit in, because theme parks and amusement parks often mesh several styles of buildings to make it look interesting or fanciful.
This is the parks "Photo-op" sign. To be honest this could of been done better and I may go back to re-work on it. I don't to make it look "too good" though as this park is really a small to mid budget park similar to TusenFryd.
This is one of the parks main midways as you walk right from the main square. The long blue building opposite is for midway games, at the moment I have just filled it with gift shops, but I plan to build my own custom midway stalls as the ones in steam, while fantastic, really eat up your FPS.
This is Orange Zipper the chairswing ride. Other than it's paint scheme and terrible name there isn't much to it.
Terror Twister - is the parks Huss Top Spin, which is lightly themed to a tornado ripping through an American western town.
Force One - Is a Intamin Accelerator, which is loosely themed to Formula 1 and is heavily inspired by Speed Monster. It is currently the stand out attraction of the park. The building behind the midway stalls is the maintenance shed for the transfer track.
The Stats:
Biggest Drop: 102ft
Max Speed: 61mph
Length: 2461ft
Inversions: 2
Airtime Count: 5
Duration: 76s
The on-ride photo booth for Force One.
This building which houses the Burger Cafe was inspired from the more traditional style of Nordic architecture.
I have began [Phase two] with this terrain conforming gravity group wooden coaster. For this design I decided to make the terrain before building the coaster to challenge myself a bit with the design and I think it worked out really well,
I used the valleys for the high speed turns and airtime hills, while the hills are used for the tallest sections of the ride. The ride isn't completed yet. It will feature plenty of trees and will have a some Viking theming.
This is the entire park so far, the wooden coaster is at the back of the park, so that is the scale of the park that I am building.
I hope that you have enjoyed reading this, I will be posting plenty of updates in the near future, I will try my best not to abandon this one like my movie park.
I also hope some of you will give me some feedback and advice on how to improve this park or tell me if there was anything you liked and would want to see more of.
Anyway I hope you're all happy, safe and healthy and keep on coastin'
*If anyone could help with with the text tool on this forum I would appreciate it, because the Bold formatting keeps getting stuck.
