Parks Forbidden Valley with a Twist (Alton Towers)

[Nemmie]

Welcome to Forbidden Valley with a Twist. I thought it was about time I made a thread.

It's the Alton Towers Forbidden Valley we know, but not quite how we know it. I decided not to do an actual recreation but something close. The trackwork for Nemesis and Galactica (Air) were done entirely from memory, as was the Nemesis station. I thought that if I don't keep looking at photos and videos, my imagination would free up. The flat rides are different to real life and some extra themeing has been thrown in, some of it inspired by the original ideas for Air's oasis. Anyway, enough gabbing.

Sit back, it's fright time and prepare yourself for a Nemesis-fest.

Here's looking down Forbidden Valley with Nemesis Sub Terra to the left and The Blade (Insanity) to the right.

What's going on in there?

The queue-line entrance for Nemesis

Inside the station

Down the first drop

Over the queue-line

Into the first corkscrew

Around the helix

And up into the Zero-G over the station

Around the stall turn

And into the loop

Final corkscrew

Into the break-run

NEMESIS!

I remember commenting on Shyguys forums, but going to again DD

So, that statue thing with the like... muscle? with machinery looks really good (2nd image) and the bones, I know its not EXACTLY like the monster, but its such an outstanding job, I can't help but feel we need a terrain tool that is smaller, so we can make things like that monster (all the track bodypart parts) I love it, really cannot wait until Alpha 3 is out, I know I'ma make SOOOO many things when I get the game

Good job Nemmie xo

[squeeeeee][up][up][up] I LOVE the monorail

 

[Restless Bohemian]

Outstanding work and also the best waterfall/rapids I've seen!

Awesome creation. Like others have commented, I too love the monorails! [big grin]

 

[Ebony-Knight]

You know, I saw the monorail, and looked right past it, like it was always going to be there.
You've made it so much part of the look and feel of the screenshots, its like...."yeah, its a monorail....oh wait, we dont have monorails...how did he....?"

Thanks everyone. It's great to hear so many nice things. There's some BIG compliments here. I really appreciate the feedback.
I've not had time to play for over a week but updates will be coming soon.

Aaronroberts, The Nemesis Drill (that thing you thought was muscle and machinery) sits at the entrance to Forbidden Valley. It has an alien biomechanical look to it so I'm pleased my version gave you that impression. I completely agree about having the terrain tool smaller. It would be really useful. I also tried to use coaster track for the body-parts on the station, but the collision detection wouldn't allow it.......Darn! There's a wall sign that looks like B&M track that if it had been re-colourable, I could have used. Also, another reason why my station doesn't look exactly like the monster is that this, plus the tracks for Air and Nemesis were done entirely from memory.

And thanks for all the comments about the Monorail. I was originally just going to have the track until I played around a bit and realised I could make the train too. It was just the carriage saved as a structure. I then copied it and added the sloped nose and saved that as a structure. Then with these 2 structures, I can copy them to make a train. Easy as that.
Flamingjune, to say that you looked straight past it and took it for granted that it was there was a massive compliment. I wanted it to compliment the scene rather than take over. I'm pleased it sits so comfortably in the pics.

Restless Bohemian. Thanks. I'm really pleased with how the waterfalls turned out but I'm not gonna lie. They were an utter ball-ache to make and took AGES lol. All we need now is the ability to colour the jets and water so I can have the Nemesis rivers of blood, even though in real life, it looks more like Vimto.

So far on this project, I've surprised myself. I never thought I'd be able to pull off the Nemesis station with the in-game tools never mind about the monorail, the Phalanx tank outside the Nemesis Sub-Terra building or the knackered old truck that is the ride booth for Ripsaw. So there's still loads to come. There's some things I've already built but not shown yet. So stay tuned.[up]

Thanks lovely people,

Malc

Hi people. I've been on this over the last couple of days so here's an update.



I accidently deleted this image on Imgur (I'm such a dingbat) so here's what's now missing from the 1st post

The Edge Games has taken it's place at the entrance to Forbidden Valley. It's full of arcade games for people to mindlessly spend their money in. Oh and my version sells hats.

Along the side, there's a load of shops as well as somewhere to sit. Here's The Burger Kitchen

Shoot the hoops game. I wish you could win a Gulpee plushy here

The entrance for The Blade (insanity) The real ride is a really old swinging ship (over 30 years) that's themed to a really old swinging ship who's bow and stern have been taken off to be replaced with a very unconvincing Blade like thingy, that doesn't go very high anymore. I decided something a bit more exciting was in order.

The entrance and queueline entrance for Ripsaw (The Forge). As there's no Huss Topspin in the game, (heck, there's no Huss Topspin in Forbidden Valley anymore), I used the Forge.

I always liked the ride-op booth for Ripsaw

You may get a little wet on this ride, or hot.

On the left is the Nemesis ride photo shop and on the right is Fresh Fish and Chips (also sells Chief Beef products)

Prepare for Air
