Repost from : Tramsport Forums with edit..
Hi,
I'm sure that one individual here was working on a dark ride
shell for BVE.
How long will it thus be before we see a Ghost Train in BVE?
(Or whatever the Japanese translation thereof ;-) )
Of course it could vary between an end of the pier Ghost Train,
to Imaginix's state of the art 'Hobbs End' attraction.
Any takers for a Ghost Train or
even a rpaids ride like 'Heavy Cola' in BVE?
I've got plenty of other ideas if anyones interested.
(ISTR Tom Bevvers expressing an interest in the 'Pot 'O gold')
Some of you aware you probably know about Stuido 9 which is
a sort of fraemwork project to get some interesting stuff done
in BVE.
However, I'd be very interested to hear what the Australians here think about having an Imagninx park in there partof the
world..
I've also got an idea that any future Imaginix parks
or developments might have an Asutralian 'Frontier'
town as opposed to the American West.. Rather than Cobra
Canyon I was thinking along having Copper Creek..
In fact I'd love to see what rides could result from Australian
cultral influences.
Any takers for a 'Dreamland- TGA Gold Coast' park?
Ideas of AUS got me thinking about OZ as well.
Anyone interested in the idea of developing some rides
for park drawing ideas from the work of Frank L Baum?
(Who wrote the OZ series of books IIRC)
The Wizard of OZ is a world that lends itself to inteligent
theme park design... And if Harry Potter's universe can be
used as basis for a them park so can Oz.<G>
Of course if anyone else has some ideas for rides, Develop them!
BVE Is not just a 'train'-sim. We've now got aircraft, buses
(even an elephant! if I heard someone correctly..
Of course themed attractions in BVE needn't be totally
fantasy based. How about someon trying to do a 'heratige'
attraction of the Jorvik or 'Dawn of time' design...
A lot of heartige organisations these days go in for IT related
displays. When I was visting heartige site in the late 1980's
therewas a greater reliance on slide technology or illuminated
tablauex
Getting back to theme park rideas...
In cultral terms theme park ride designers often go for the
usual suspects like Oriental, Western etc and frequently use Hollywood sterotypes. For example a lot of Futuristic things
are based on Americanised viewpoints...
If you were to design a Futris city for a park based on
Japanese cultural influences it would look very different.
(More like Hong Kong, Tokyo or Blade Runner than Epcot!)
In an earlier post I said something about Imaginix using
different kinds of Frontier town. After all Australian Folk history has legends like the Old West does
In terms of not going for the usual suspects.
there's always Buglleskully at Studio 9,(OK so
it's sterotype Irish (complete with LGM) to be sure, to be sure
but still ..)
The other cultural areas that has not been tapped by theme
park ride designers is the folk tales of eastern Europe and Russia.
A ride based on these need not have to use realistic
amnitornic super-technolgy as puppetry,model making, shadow animation are all tehcniques excuted with Disnety/Tussad like
quality and precison in this region..
On a simmilar point I will of course add that only one major theme park in the UK has tried to use the Black Forest as a
basis for a themed area.(Chessington has a Bvarian village
nr the Bubbleworks IIRC)
I know that the starting point for this was doing rides in
BVE but It's a shame that with some notable exceptions
theme parks don't have the creative guts to try something
new...
BTW I've also started a poll in the General forum to try and
gauge whether ther is any interest in a 'themed-attractions'
simulator. The aim to try and have some evidence to convince
one of the roller-cosater sim development teams to produce
a sim that does rapids, water flume rides, dark rides etc,etc..
And finally one last idea for development given that
Smace had some techniques for doing caves with cutouts,
(like Disney rides) in BVE.
Any takers for doing a Voygaes of Sinbad, Caves of Wonder
or Arabian Nights style boat based ride?
