Universal Studios

[guitarattict]

Hey, I was going to make a space ride, but... I'm going to Orlando this summer and I got interested in Universal Orlando. And this is NOT a recreation. It kind of is but, like my rockin' rollercoaster, its a mixture of Orlando and Hollywood. But it still has a universal feel, and type of park and stuff. So..without further adu...I present to you... 2 SCREENS! YEAH!

And, I don't have a pic of this, but maybe you saw it in another pic, but I added the little decoration to the top of the sound stages, to make it look more realistic.
(click on pics to make larger)

Comments and constructive stuff GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, and I'll try to update more often.:icon_roll

[ryguy222]

Ok well none of the pix enlarge when i click gives me an error message, uh your shrek building needs work, bc the queue is really bad... and other then that i can't say much.. the rocket blast looks fine no problems there.. yea.

[guitarattict]

sorry about the shrek quene, I only know the one in Hollywood, and the one i'm building is based on Orlando. So, exactly what partof the quene should change? Should it be like the Rocket Blast Quene?

[austen]

great job! (i never been to universal)

[ryguy222]

k the one in universal isn't a castle. Its a soundstage with the brick on the sides and coat of arms and things like that. The queue is on the side of the building let me give you a picture

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e214/ryguy222/UniversalOrlando.jpg

Ok so here you have your two show buildings. Shrek and rocket blast, shrek is right across from rocket blast. The queue's are covered with a metal type roofing, use the roof from stuk71's hanger sets, i think its called the cladding piece or something. Anyway there are about five or six switch backs in the shrek queue but i didn't want to draw that, and about 3-4 in Rocket blast. The very front of rocket blast has a wall in front, its the height of one wall piece, in real life its about 7- 8 feet high. Hope that helps

[guitarattict]

Wow... great post! lol I now crown you the constructive critisizm king!


Ok.. bad news, I am getting really swamped with school work.. (No, I'm not an adult:tongue:) So I probably won't start up on this again until my school gets out (which is about 2 weeks, so no need to get impatient) And that post will really help, ryguy, thanks!

[ryguy222]

^uhm ok i guess i am the constructive critcism King?! Yea school sucks, and i've been out for a few days so yea.

[inherprime]

You should build The Back To The Future The Ride Building that closed last March.

[guitarattict]

:frown: :frown: I loved that ride! Oh, well, I also love simpsons, so we'll see how it turns out. I'll probably make a trubute to the ride, but make some kind of Simpsons attracition nearby.;)




,.:EDIT:.,
Ok, I went to the construction site to check on how it was going, and it looks pretty good! (Sorry for small pics, try clicking on them, but they might not work, sorry).

^Sorry this one is so dark, it was pretty dark once I got in. Since I obviously can't take pics of the show, I had to put my camera away. Next up, Nicktoon Blast!

^ Here is the entrance.. sorry I didn't take much quene pics, there wasn't much scenery.



http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/341/shot0226iu6.png

^ Ok, have to put my camera away now... it looks fun! Update soon... looks like theres another building coming up along the road....

[guitarattict]

Heres the link for the newsest attraction - Twister - Ride it Out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vumd_ix8Py0

[mrhappybomb]

^looks cool but the wasn't a twister, I guess your still working on that one too ^-^ it was really nice though

[guitarattict]

Yea, I even admit it sucks. It will probably get spiced up as the park progresses, and I get more motivation. The rides that I will really spend a lot of time are are ROTM, BTTF, and JP. My favorite rides. So, look at your orlando map and see whats next up the road.


EDIT:
Ok, I found some awesome artist renderings and sketches. Here they are:

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/9061/shot0247bmppreviewhu0.png

Below this rendering it said: "'Nick Splash,' soak zone and ride" ??

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1874/shot0248bmppreviewrk4.png

Below this one it said: "Gyeser scene in Nick SPLASH! - pulling into station."

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/7517/shot0251bmppreviewgf2.png

My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when I saw this one! A thrilling flat ride in Universal? We'll see... And better yet, it didn't even say anything below this picture! Weird... Could someone try to help me out on this one? Like taking guesses?

[ryguy222]

^Hmm odd...
Yea twister wasn't so good, i've been through that a few times, and I wouldn't use music from spider man. That is based off of the movie called Twister, and there is a soundtrack for it USE IT!
Also where are the buildings? The gas station thats on the right side with the big neon light? And the house on the left?

[guitarattict]

The park is up on the atari forums, now! But ya, I didn't really work hard on Twister, I know there is a soundtrack to it, and I know there are buildings, I just didn't get much motivation to work on it. What I'm really working hard on right now is ROTM. Don't worry, I will try to fix Twister later on. (There is a billboard showing the buildings in the backround, though.. lol):p

[ryguy222]

K dude uh can you not use acronyms from Universal Studios, idk if im the only one but i don't know what you mean by them. This is a Disney fan site not a universal.

[guitarattict]

your right :P just follow it on the atari forums, then.

[Disneylover 4 ever]

lol you make this or u downloaded?
Its look pretty awesome and is look like the real universal orando studios.(well the real coasters that really exist)like shreck and jimmy neutron...amd the path!

No, I made the park, and the custom scenery is from the atari community. Thanks for the comment!

[One Swell Bear]

RT3 question, how do you get things, such as the Shrek 4D sign, in the game? Are you able to put pics in.:confused: I'm an idiot.

[guitarattict]

^Just download a picture, then just put up a billboard in the game. Wow, this is an old thread! :p Yeah, I forgot about this.

I'm still a little confused. :confused: Sorry.I do use the computer a lot, but I'm not always that great with them.

[guitarattict]

You find or make a picture, put it somewhere in your My Pictures folder where you'll remember, then open up the billboard option in the game, select custom, then pick the picture from the folder you put it in. Hope that helps a little better.

[reillysix]

You need to have Wild! to use billboards.
