I think I know where your going for this...

Your going to build an amusement park and these people are going to complain about every single ride you put in.

[krosscoasters]

This is very clever.

[Thunderhead]

Until I see a roller coaster, I will not like this project. COASTER-NET.

Haha I Kid. I do like this. Very creative.Keep it up, looks great!

Watch your trees; too many of the same ones along the road too close together. Change up the trees between like 3 different ones and place them randomly, also, rotate a tree of the same kind over and over, that way it doesn't always look like the same tree when placed next to another.

[Daniel Westfall]

I think everything is meant to look "uniform" since it's a housing development. We all have an idea where this story line is going....housing developments don't like anything ot be the least bit different.

[Vicarious Chair]

It's too uniform, though. The tree look fake when they're lined up like that. If you want to keep the tree time uniform, then take the other part of my advice and rotate some of the trees. Also, maybe leave a space in between. Put yourself in the peeps shoes; when they're like that it looks even more condensed than a forest.

December 30, 1923


An Italian immigrant by the name of Louie Zistelli, has agreed to recieve a plot of uncharted land near Santa Fe, NM in exchange to draw attention to US Route 85, which is included in a project called "Route 66" which Zistelli's pen pal and only friend, Angel D. Flynne Jr. from Kaufman, TX says "...will never get off the ground..." Zistelli plans to recreate the idea of William H. Reynolds' Dreamland Park and neighboring Luna Park. Zistelli visited the parks as a child and was inspired the second he entered. "Although I support my friend, I have little faith in Louie.", says Flynne. Zistelli's new land surrounds a new housing development named 'Rochestere Estates'. The development's owner refused to sell the US government their land in exchange for the extremely high price of 1000 dollars per acre.
Zistelli plans to open his park within the next two years.

Haha I love all the details so far, this will definitely be an interesting project

[biZarRo]

Very cool, but I can't wait for the first coaster.

[Reapers Ashes]

Lots of trees.

Louie Zistelli has started construction and excavation for some attractions..

...And has started mysteriously bringing in sand for a lake on his property.

That's all for this news post.

(I guarantee coasters tomorrow.)

This is looking like a really good storyline. Can't wait to see the progress.

Hey the first half of pictures (or at least I think there are supposed to be) aren't showing.

[Daniel Westfall]

Yeah, I think he put too many attachments in the same post. I think you're limited to 4 or 5 and it starts at the bottom and works up. I know you can put more images if you link to your images that are stored on Photobucket or something similar. Just be aware that Photobucket will go through and change where the image is saved after a while (or delete old images) and it will break the link here. If you want to get both reliability and convenience, I recommend getting a small amount of server space from us so that you can host your pictures right on our server. Then you won't have to worry about the images changing locations or being deleted (as you control all of that). We have packages that start out at just $5/month for 1/2 GB or HDD space and 1/2 GB of Bandwidth (not much, but should be all you'd need).

Talk to CoasterBGW or I if you need more HD space or Bandwidth than that.

[biZarRo]

I like the park so far. One suggestion I have is that, for the raft rides, I suggest putting them above a moat or something, it would look a lot better. If you could make the track invisible, even better.

[MorganFan]

I'm having an issue. I'm uploading pics via 'insert image' with the address from www.imageshack.com and when I click 'submit modified post' it says that the extnsion is not allowed in the forums. I'm using jpg. files as well.

[TheDarkMaxim]

Yeah you cant do that, you need to just copy the code from imageshack.

[TexasCyclone]

While looking at your image on imageshack, right click on it and select "Open Image in New Tab/Window" (if you have the option to) and then copy that URL.

[MorganFan]

This is what I'm getting.

[Daniel Westfall]

It sounds like you tried to attach a URL. You can only attach files that are on your computer. You must use the "Insert Image" button (right next to the "Insert link" button) to hotlink to photos using the "img" tags.

[MorganFan]

that's what i've been doing.

[Daniel Westfall]

There are two different links. One of them goes to the thumbnail, the other goes directly to the image. The one that goes to the tumbnail won't work. You need the link that is after you click on the thumbnail of the image.
