PCA 2024 Nominated Enchanted Lake

I really like that first image! Colorful, lots of action, with perfect lighting.

[Wowman]

Around one bend of the ride is a huge water feature to cool everyone off after fighting all that fire.

 

 

[citytrader]

Fire, water, and electric cables! Oh my! There's a real disaster waiting to happen!

[JB]

It's like a Universal backlot Tram Tour, only with fire hoses! (I think I see the Munsters House) ;-)

Storage/Maintenance barn for the vehicles

[Gin]

Great idea!

I do think that perhaps the barn can be a bit bigger that can also accommodate other attraction equipment - unless there's another storage/backstage area for that?

 

[citytrader]

Beautifully realized faux ride. Well done!

[Wowman]

Here are a few last shots of the final bend of the ride as the vehicles come back to the station.

This park's gas bill must be outrageous with that inferno going all day! Hope you negotiated a good deal with the gas company.

[wolfpaw]

HAH, didn't even think about how expensive this ride must cost just to maintain 

Looks like a really cool ride, I've said it before but I'll say it again - this is a ride I wanna try in real life! Great work!

[Gin]

I really like you made that building look charred and destroyed with the roof falling apart.

I'd recommend adding some debris on the ground at the foot of that building to further add to the destruction aspect.

Great job!

Great job!

this was a workshop download. I did not create that building, but the debris is a great idea. Sometimes I am so spent after getting the layouts and ideas on the ground, I do forget to go back and some of those minor details.

[Wabigbear]

Obviously that first screen is of where the fire started...no doubt some gear got stuck and a pulley overheated or something or other.

 

Or maybe it's that shifty looking character leaning against the front while an inferno rages around him?  Someone should check him for matches!

[citytrader]

I looked for that charred building to no avail. Do you happen to recall what it is called on the workshop?

I'm not sure, but that looks like a blueprint by Ramses.sam...  He made a number of run-down French-themed structures...

[Wowman]

yes - check out ramses.sam on the workshop

I like the tables and chairs inside the fire house. I wonder what the firefighters are having for supper tonight? Maybe spaghetti with french bread and a green salad.

OT: Wowman, how are you faring with the latest Florida hurricane? If I remember correctly, you're somewhat south of the projected path but still within the outer bands of the storm. (That is, if you're still in Florida?)

[Gin]

Well done with the signature fire station architecture - red brick, concrete/stone base, and the steel details.

[Wowman]

Well, as far as the Hurricane goes...life changes and we actually moved from FL to SC, just outside Charlotte. So, while we are not as close to the shore anymore, many of the storms do track up over us. This one will be a bit more to the east, but we are forecasted for some wind and heavy rain....starting in like an hour. Mostly flood warnings and lose of power warning for here right now.

[Wabigbear]

I wish the water particles worked better at night in this game...well, actually they work but they can't really be lit as they should be.  Thankfully they still look great during the daylight hours.

[Wowman]

yep. one of the biggest things I struggle with in the game is the lack of lighting not only for water, but any of the special effects (smoke, particles, steam, etc.)

[wolfpaw]

Here's to hoping PlanCo 2 redoes its particle systems!

Another great update, seriously cool ride and I love how interactive it is. Nice to hear you're safe after the hurricane too, I got some of the outer bands as well but nothing too bad!

[Cody]

Scrolled through and saw the massive fire thinking something was burning down (story wise not part of the attraction) so you definitely got a realistic fire. Curious how hot the temperature is in that land with all of the fire.

 

Awesome job as usual!
