Welcome to Fox Studios World
Well it's been on my shelf for a long time now, and it's finally time to get started on it (again).
As far as I know, there has been no RCT movie themed park using the (20th Century) Fox brand, so I consider it the first time it is being done. I have great plans for this park, and can't wait to get deep into its design. This will be my second ever custom park attempt.
Here are a few details on what I have planned:
Themed Areas:
Star Wars Galaxy - A section of park themed to the original Star Wars trilogy (I am not a fan of the newer trilogy). My planned signature ride will be a flying rollercoaster going through the Death Star trenches much like the climactic moments in Episode 4: A New Hope (the original Star Wars movie).
Thrill Sector - This area of the park will house the bulk of the thrill rides, including my most fondest idea, Behind Enemy Lines, a propelled inverted coaster that is launched off an aircraft carrier runnings its course over the lake and edging the mountainous terrain.
Old Tyme Exposition - A non-movie themed area mainly dedicated to traditional carnival and fairground rides.
Ice Age: Chill Zone- My kid's section of park themed to the popular Ice Age computer animated movie and its sequel.
Robot City - A second kid's section themed to my favourite computer animated movie, Robots.
So far, I've only got one screen shot to show you It's of the front of the park hotel, which will be used as one of the park entry points for peeps. As you can see, it's very early in the design process, and I'm still fooling around with the roadway, turnaround, and the parking lot. Even though it's still very much an "early draft", I thought I'd let everyone know what I'm working on, and see it from images of it from the very beginning.

While there, please take a moment to do the quick web poll on the website, which helps me focus on which RCT sites I should focus on.
Feedback is welcome.
Nice beginning to the Fox studios.
I'm thoroughly impressed with your Six Flags Canada park though, how did you get the Batman and Superman symbols, along with that Superman statue into the game?! I didn't know you could do that, is it something pretty simple, or is it a complicated process. If you could inform me on how to do that it'd be sweet.
The Batman and Superman symbols are custom objects that ended up in my objdata folder after downloading a certain original park called Warner Brothers Las Vegas. That is how I got the objects to use. As stated in my readme file that came with my SFXC park, I do not take credit for those objects.Originally Posted by Ziggmuff
Time for an update.
I've done some re-working of the hotel and surrounding area. I definitely think it is an improvement. In one screenshot is an overall image of the area. You can see the partially completed hotel. It uses a two-tone brown pattern with green segments (I may get rid of the green). To the upper-right of the image is the designated wheelchair parking spots. There is a large turnaround in the middle, with a walkway that gives peeps access from the edge of the screen into the park through the hotel main entrance. On the other side of the hotel is the main parking lot, which has been completely re-worked. I wanted to put some cars in various spots but it just didn't work well with the zero clearance feature.
The second screenshot is a closeup of the hotel. You can see more details such as the garden path, and the mini-waterfall.
Although the hotel is not complete, I think the area (roads, parking lot, turnaround, hotel) is much improved. I hope to have the area done in the next week.

Couple of notes:
1. I know it is a slight inconvenience to go to my site in order to see the screenshots, but I post on numerous sites, so it is a lot easier for me to do it this way.
2. If you haven't done my quick little web poll on my site, please do so as it helps me figure out which RCT sites to focus on.
Feedback is appreciated.
Umm you need to start posting at least a few screen shots in this thread or I'm going to have to lock it. Essentially what you are doing is advertising your website... Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to seeing more.
@ Mike T: I am not advertising my website. But fine, here is another update with the screenshots posted.
I have added 3 new screenshots showing the progress I've made in the past few weeks.
First Screenshot (09251)
An overview of the entire resort area. The parking lot, resort itself are done. I've added a swimming pool (complete with deep end, diving board, and umbrella covers), set of 3 tennis courts, and a climbing wall (still tweaking that to make it look better).
Second Screenshot (09252)
A close-up of the park entrance. I tried to create a giant park sign that is reminiscent of the movie logo. I'm still working on it, as I find the sign too simple. It's far from finished.
Third Screenshot (09253)
Also far from finished, I'm putting in a kiss n' ride section for peeps to be dropped off. This will also be one of the entry points for peeps to come onto the grid.

That looks really good. I like the tennis courts, the pool, the drop-off area, and especially the logo. It looks good to me already. One suggestion: I don't like the checkerboard at the pool area. I've never seen a pool like that in real life, esp. not with 3-foot across squares. Other than that, it looks great, and reminds me why I don't usually post my stuff on here...mine'd look like crap.
Nice work so far. I agree if you just change the outside area to something other then the checkerboard for the pool it should be good.
It's been a long hiatus, but I have finally returned to resume where I left off. I'm almost done the parking lot, but I'm at an impasse over something. Need your opinions on something.
In this screenshot, the green area has some standard foliage on it... makes it look nicer then just plain land.
In this screenshot, instead of foliage there are billboard signs of different movie titles. This is significant because one of the themed areas of the park will have these exact billboards at the entrance to each ride corresponding to the movie names.
Which way should I go? This will be the strip of land against the main roadway where the entrance to the parking lot is.
Nice scenery. I'd say lower the logos and put trees behind them...you kind of need the trees to break up the monotony of a huge patch of concrete.
