June 27Jun 27 Author So I've now posted five fake kiddie rides;[img]The boat ride with improved skirt,[img]The buggy ride, also with new skirt,[img]The Tick Tock Clock Drop, a skin for the little dipper, this ride is loosely based on a ride of the same name located at Storybook Land in New Jersey.[img]A new tea cups ride, where the turntable revolves and the cups counter-revolve. They are aquatic propellors. I made a real tea cup, over 250 pieces each, but it looked awful! As these rides are just supposed to be background filler pieces, I'm not going to sweat it. And one more that is still a work in progress;[img]My dragon ride. I have tried about 800 variations to attempt to get the dragons to rise and fall realistically to no avail! I'm no Tagi! 🤣I may just finish up the details and release it as a simple spin. Also still working on putting together a fire truck ride;You can also utilize my kiddie circus train ride for your kiddieland.In the workshop, just browse for "classic kiddie", and they should all come up.Enjoy!
June 27Jun 27 These all look great! Now all you need to do is make some fake kiddies to ride the fake rides.
June 27Jun 27 These are really nice. I love the dragon ride...best use of the toy box cardboard piece I've seen. 😄 "Oh Blanche? Ya know we've got rats in the cellar." -- Jane Hudson (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane)
June 27Jun 27 Nice stuff. Frontier should hire you for real ride ideas. Tick Tock Clock Drop is basically one of the new rides in the latest DLC, so you can redress it now and have a working version of this ride.

I had previously made the entire ride from scratch.[img]

After several terrible attempts at creating the truck, I went on the workshop and found one. Changed about 68% of it, added windshield, grill, wheel wells, second seat, new steering wheel, removed about 30 lights, etc, etc., but a special thanks to bigred#31931 for the base model. Of course, I had to utilize the scaling mod.The ride isn't perfect, but I think it turned out pretty nicely.[img]

Wednesday at 11:15 PM4 days These are all great CT. And with the firetrucks you unlocked another memory for me, many of those rides did have backseats, possibly even all of them for all I know. I think the dune buggy is my favorite, that is a perfect use for those cars. (Especially since it's too exaggerated to work as an actual car.) The mini-teacups are also quite clever.
Thursday at 04:39 AM4 days Author Yes, I remember putting my kids in the firetrucks, and next month, I'll be able to take my grandson! They have a beautifully restored ride at a beach in Maryland we enjoy going to.The little buggies is what actually launched me on this little endeavor. I took one look at them and knew they would be perfect. Then, of course, I tried to remember what other kids rides were out there. I remember the motorcycle rides, but I think they would be beyond my skill as a modeler.I have to admit, I'm not really in love with the teacups, (they don't even have handles!), but as they are basically just background scenery, I can live with them.What would be really neat is if Frontier came out with "ride design" kit. You pick a platform, cars, etc., and create your own flats!
