July 9Jul 9 Attempting a pirate-themed waterpark resort, kind of a hybrid between Typhoon Lagoon and Atlantis/The Bahamas. I'm open to better park names but at least this one isn't redundant with anything that I'm aware of.
July 10Jul 10 Attempting?Like succeeding in flying colors and blowing us all away!...and why are those guests in the water with all their clothes on? 😵💫And how did you do the beach? (so I can steal that idea for Water World) Edited July 10Jul 10 by shyguy "Oh Blanche? Ya know we've got rats in the cellar." -- Jane Hudson (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane)
July 10Jul 10 I think "Plunder Bay" is an excellent name! it evokes both, pirates and water. Arrrr, keep it, says I.I think those guests standing in the water are peeing.... or worse. Great start, JP!
July 10Jul 10 Author Thanks guys.There's an event point and a vista point both buried out in the water somewhere (along with some buried wave machines) that will lure guests in the water. They don't seem to attract swimmers even though there are swimmers in lounge chairs all along the beach. I'm wondering if it's in the code that makes those interactions require clothing the same way rides do. Really wish there was a setting to let us choose that behavior.OR.... they're just peeing. ;)
July 10Jul 10 Looking good! I really like the vibes. The beach with the crashing waves looks very pretty.
July 10Jul 10 Love the shot with the jetty. Really gives you a nice idea of the whole area."Did the water just get warmer?" 😂
July 19Jul 19 Author Thanks Dxtrr and CT. I did finally get a few guests to randomly enter the ocean in their swimwear, so at least I know it's possible now. You can see one of them at the beginning of this video.And oh yeah, this park has a video now.
July 19Jul 19 So glad you're doing a water park, so I can steal ideas for Water World. (Although, WW is more of a fantasy, over- the-top park, not the most realistic build) I agree that Frontier didn't do their homework when requiring lazy rivers to be "Swimming" deep. I actually visited a water park and checked the depth of the lazy river and reproduced that in Water World, only to find it wouldn't work and guests just stood still, including children who stood on the bottom and, I guess, drowned themselves.I'm on my third attempt at the lazy river, still hoping if I put it off long enough, there might be some fixes. I know, wishful thinking.This looks great and can't wait to see where you take this. "Oh Blanche? Ya know we've got rats in the cellar." -- Jane Hudson (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane)
July 20Jul 20 This looks really great. I love the wave machines in the lazy river and the beach looks awesome.
July 20Jul 20 You said you're pretty happy with the architecture... well I'm really happy with the architecture! I love pirate themed parks/areas. It all looks great, even the unfinished areas, of which there are plenty, apparently.
July 23Jul 23 LOVING this project! The architecture is insane!!! I think you really accomplished what you said you wanted to do in the video, every corner feels really does feel like all those little scenes from the ride just blown up into a massively huge real life scale, and it feels like, "I-wanna-walk-around-this-area-and-look-behind-every-corner" lol. It's incredible what you've done so far! ❤️ Loving everything!
