Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, and I wanted to theme a park after the Super Mario series. Tell me what you think...

how do i load the pics, instead of using the thumbnail attachments??
Go to imageshack, and upload them so they fit to forums/message boards. Then copy and paste the links.

So far a small park.... but with lots of room to grow and more worlds and thrills to discover!!
I like it so far! Keep up the good work and its a good theme to use.

I like the zany feel to it. :) Really Mario-like. I also really like the castle on the hill. It reminds me of the Milton Hershey Middle School, which sits at the top of the hill overlooking Hersheypark (Wow they look similar, lol). :)

the tower…
With all the new additions added to the park, attendance has skyrocketed!!! With new land waiting to be discovered all is looking well in the kingdom, and as a bonus, no sign of Bowser and his many menions…
The detail on Boo's haunted mansion is simply AMAZING! This park looks great and everything looks really well placed as well as great scenery. Keep it up!

I love Boo's Mansion as well. :) I also love Toad's Turnpike. Idk, I just like it. :)
I'm not sure about the tower supports on Super Mario: The Ride, though. Also, the supports for the wild mouse. I really do look forward to seeing more though (even if it is Bowser's Castle...). :)

The tower supports might work better if you flipped them around the other way, similar to Speed - http://www.rcdb.com/ig593.htm?picture=16 .
So far, this park has a feel that no others on this forum have. I like it!

Thanks guys for all the feedback:), I really appreciate it!!!
I took your guy’s advice on the support towers on SM:TR and flipped them, below is a picture of the new tower and as bonus a little TEASER to what’s coming in the park's next season!!!!:eek:

I like the layout and rides so far. And I love the theme. Go Nintendo! But, I feel you could be a little more original with certain things, especially naming of rides. It seems like all you're doing in most cases is adding a character's name to the front of the generic ride name. This is ok in some instances like Daisy's Merry-go-round, but in others you might want to consider names with a little more original flare. In some cases you might also want to be a little more true to the games (Toad's Turnpike was part of Mario Kard 64, you may want to rename the Mario Kart ride to Mario Raceway or something and try to promote them as a separate area of the park based off the Mario Kart spin-off series. Similarly, Boo doesn't own a haunted mansion that is ever described in the games, but one game actually did feature Luigi trying to defend himself and find Mario in a haunted mansion, the rather popular GameCube game was title: Luigi's Mansion). Just some of my opinions.

Wow, this park is awesome! I totally dig it, but that is probably because I'm a total Mario geek. But anywho, it is a really good park with a good layout and I too like Boo's Mansion. Keep up the great work!
