Yes, Meteor Valley is back! This is my third version of this park, and it's going to be better than ever! If you didn't already know, the first Meteor Valley was made before I discovered custom scenery, and I lost it during a fatal error with my computer. The second one got a bit further, and I even made a video, but last week I just got bored of it, and I knew I could do better. Meteor Valley is well known for being the park with the Pepsi themed area (which will return in this version).

This version of the park will be incredibly detailed and much more realistic. The location of the park will be based on Cumbria in the UK (more commonly known as the Lake District, where I went on holiday last week). This means lots of mountains, and the whole park will be built around a lake (expect to see some giant spectacular fountain in the middle). It's a futuristic themed park, but combined with a more 'natural' environment, so it should look pretty intersting and unique when it's done. There will be four or five different themed areas withing the park, all with a modern look to them

The first section I've been working on is the racing themed area (those of you who saw the last version will remember I started one, but didn't get very far). So far in these screenshots only two rides are visible: an Intamin launched coaster and a duelling Vekoma motorbike coaster. These pictures are taken at night to show off the lighting. Daytime pictures will come soon though.

^ The second half of the queue. That small suare of water will eventually hold one of my fountains, but I just need to make some cnetre placed ones first.

Please comment on what I've done so far, and any suggestions or improvements are welcome.

Brilliant NF, you never fail to amaze me. well done, keep it up and please try and finish this one Biggrin

RE: Meteor Valley returns! - Gamesonline - Oct 30, 2006

I hope to see more screenshots of this park soon.

RE: Meteor Valley returns! - grim_reaper - Oct 30, 2006

nice one nf

RE: Meteor Valley returns! - Nuclear Fish - Oct 30, 2006

Thanks for the comments everyone! And Turbo Tortoise, Intamin is the type of coaster, not the name. An Intamin launch/accelerator coaster is one like TTD or Kingda Ka.

I haven't really done much more (I've done a bit of work on the motorbike coaster which I won't reveal just yet), but I thought I'd post a couple more screenshots anyway.

^ A nice shot at night showing the support structure on the top hat.

If anyone has any ideas for names for these coasters (the intamin launch coaster and the motorbikes), please suggest them here. I have a few, but none which really sound interesting enough.

More coming soon!
