Anyone have amusment park reference photos?

[jeff_64]

To prepare for the not too distant release of Planet Coaster I have been trying to accumulate as many references of amusement parks as I can get. I am having trouble finding much of things like layout and stations surprisingly. Anyone have any good references photos they'd be willing to share? I'd take them myself but already went to Cedar Point for the year.

Google would be your best friend for this. Search images "Roller coaster stations" and also check out google maps to look up parks, a lot of them let you walk around in them with street view.

Not sure these are any good to you, but both these sites have plenty of pictures and are well catalogued.

I posted this thread to the CHC section a few months ago after my trip to Cedar Point and participating in the Sunrise Thrills Tour. Not really layouts but some cool shots you wouldn't normally get to see inside, under, and around the stations and various parts of coasters. I think you have access to it since you have the coaster king post background...

Here is a site that may or may not help you. It has a bunch of theme park maps and brochures:

Can't see it if you are not a member of the CHC. Can you please post it so others can see it?

Those definitely help with some layouts. Thanks!

Totally forgot about street view great idea! I checked google first but wasn't too pleased with what I was looking for.

Wish I'd thought of this.
My parks always turn out a complete spider-web of paths that aren't well laid out. The brochures are properly helpful. Thank you.

No worries bud, I mostly learned in animation school how crazy important reference is even when creating original work, otherwise I may not have known either.
