Mystic Mountain! Park Spotlight 243: Planet Coaster

[@coasterzigner]

This is SUCH a unique concept with the ride names and all. I was one of those people screaming at the computer about the drop tower and yes I knew! LoL. I hope that Nightfall does this careful calibration of all ride sequence options, because that is what makes PlanCo Different from RCT3: the flat ride sequence versatility! Then i was also one of those people screaming at Jonny going backwards through the fastpass line. LoL. One thing I can tell is Nightfall has been a viewer for a while, because they are taking a lot of the feedback from the eons of videos of the past and applying that to their own creation. SMART move, because it definitely helped you in the voting for me ;) Epiphany was a really wonderful coaster! Really smooth (for the ride itself). I can venture a guess that the 4m method was used, and I'm not entirely sure but I would also venture a guess that that tool isn't the best for smoothing a wing coaster. But it's still remarkably fun to ride! The Cascade seems a bit underfinished, not sure if that was a time thing or the fact it's so close to the border, but it felt a little underthemed. However, that ride is also quite fun to ride, and I LOVE the waterfall thing near the end of it! I actually disagree with the gardenwork feedback. I think it's a nice feel without it being Wonderland level gardenwork. Zen gardens isn't Wonderland gardens. However, I can see where Jonny and Xel are saying it could use more. I think that comes more with time with blueprints and for a new builder this is definitely advanced work! I hope that feedback doesn't pull in the voting, because this deserves 5 stars!

OK, that drop tower though. Four years of watching PlanCo vids and I still see surprising things. The creativity from this community is amazing. I'm also realizing how much more effort I should have put in my queues... Queues ended up being my afterthought. I'll probably be dinged for that.

[@notesleb]

Very creative use of the drop tower. I like how you made the pov on the wing coaster view the track. The pathing is cool in that it makes most the park wheelchair accessible.

[@projectnightfall6882]

I can't believe you noticed the paths! Wasn't expecting anyone to realise I'd done that. Every park I design is always disabled friendly. I feel it adds an extra challenge to the game. The winding paths were actually meant to be a part of this parks theme. I just run out of time to fully theme them.

[@Robbedem]

@@projectnightfall6882 You did a great job, but I think you should have used some wider paths in some areas. The same counts for the queues. I think it's weird to have a narrow queue wind through what's obviously meant as a wider queue. (I know paths in Planco can be a PITA though ) Still, I really love the drop tower, but also the cascade, that was amazing! It could be a real ride and it would be a great real ride! ;) Wing coaster was also very good (a little bit to much left-turning imho, but that's a minor thing) I also didn't notice any restaurants? You are in my top 5 for sure!

[@projectnightfall6882]

@@Robbedem thank you. Regarding the paths I tend to keep them narrow because real queues are rarely wider than 2m. I agree it looks a bit odd in some places but I think it would have been better if I'd done more themeing between the paths.

[@Robbedem]

@@projectnightfall6882 true, but when you consider the scale of the people in Planco, a 2m path appears more like a 1m path. ;) You can easily stand with two, even three next to eachother on 2m, but that doesn't work for the people in Planco ;)

[@projectnightfall6882]

@@Robbedem Interesting. I need to spend some more time watching the peeps. Hadn't noticed them doing that until now.

[@snoboard91503]

Best tower ride I’ve ever seen. Fantastic job on that.

[@hulakingplays2435]

Love that drop tower, and all the ride skins in general are really nice and unique

[@eisenbergjj]

That drop tower was on another level, all previous drop towers I’ve seen or experienced were about using the view of the area for visual stimulation and the momentum of the ride for a thrill. What also stands out to me is that you’d have to actually ride this four times to get the full effect(kudos to the creator). I also like the ride skin for the swing flat ride, the park is very nicely themed. I do have to say that the details were a bit lacking but that can be fixed with practice and feedback. Hope to see more of your creations in the future.

[@northinfante8374]

The Zenith drop ride with four different ride experiences, combined with the B&M winged Epiphany and the Mack Rides water coaster Tea Leaf Falls makes this a LEGENDARY park. Too bad that Johnny didn't label this park as LEGENDARY. Tsk tsk. Johnny doesn't know the true meaning of a park that is LEGENDARY. Congratulations, Nightfall; you are now a LEGENDARY builder. And as for you Johnny, who purposefully refused to call this park LEGENDARY, you have been disqualified and I'll have to end the video.

[@natalieminaker7357]

That drop tower was so impressive. Incredibly creative use of effects and triggers. Never seen anything like it before!

[@bobblebardsley]

Beautiful park, love the theming and how it's extended to the storytelling of all the rides, not just the scenery. One of the most cohesive concepts I've seen so far. Obviously the Drop Tower is awesome, I also loved the Cascade a lot, those are not easy to do well. I feel like I could happily open this park up and just spend some time walking around, I don't think there was a boring ride or any flat ride that felt like it was just there to make up the numbers. Really well done.

[@Robbedem]

Yeah, the droptower was awesome, but the cascade imho was awesome too! The coaster was also great, but it doesn't have the themeing that the tower and cascade have. Overall a great park and !

[@projectnightfall6882]

I had a really fun time making this so thank you Channel5 Gaming for doing this competition! It kept me sane during lockdown. I'd love to go back to this park again as there was a lot more I had planned but I was litraley planting bushes at the deadline! I knew it would show 😂

[@kristinebellamy5249]

One of the smoothest wing coasters I've seen in this game. How did you manage it?

[@projectnightfall6882]

@@kristinebellamy5249 by getting them to ride in row 2 or 3 😋 it's a bit jerky in the outer seats. It also took 2 weeks of scrapped designs.

[@pifpif5036]

That was the best drop ride I’ve seen and ive seen so many drop rides in this game, amazing job

[@XboxgamerZ]

Good park, good theming, and good coasters with realistic layouts

[@NS_Miata]

This one checks all the boxes. Realistic (also not to overdone) Great theming Great storyline for the park Interessting and creative rides (especially the drop tower) Very good coasters One of the best in all that regard I think.

[@projectnightfall6882]

Glad you liked the realisem. I work in Theme Parks so I felt wrong whenever I designed something that I knew wouldn't work.

[@NS_Miata]

@@projectnightfall6882 yes, well done on this one. I disagree with the given feedback of putting more plants. I do in fact like the here and there placement of plants quit well. Also from a real life perspective of budget. Good job on this one!

[@CapitanTater]

This is a park that I find a bit odd...not due to the the or anything in that sort. The park has basically no foliage, especially for a zen style park. The attractions however.....HOLY MOLEY!! The two coasters were both very smooth and exciting. The wing coaster was amazingly top notch for a novice/beginner park, and dont even get me started on that drop tower, wow! I just wish there were more plants and trees to keep the park from feeling like a dirt and pathway park. I'm just nit-picking at this point and the lack of greenery is my own opinion, it still doesnt distract from this being a very good submission!

[@projectnightfall6882]

Completely fair. I ran out of time to do the planting well. I'm as let down by it as you are, but I need more practise.

[@CapitanTater]

@@projectnightfall6882 Don't dig into yourself like that. Your park stll is better in ways than many others! There is room for improvement (I would love to see a 2.0 version one day), but as I said before... Im just being picky, many people like minimal foliage!

[@projectnightfall6882]

@@CapitanTater ha, don't worry. That's just how I write. But you hit the nail on the head, that's how I feel while watching it.

[@micycles1200]

That was a great Drop Tower. As much as I liked the Horror Heights in the western park yesterday, I think this tower was even better. That's a great way of giving ride and re-ridability to a flat ride. Those effects were amazing. The rest of the park was pretty good too. Those coasters are kind of hard to work with, in my opinion, but they were decent. Your main attraction though was definitely that Drop Tower.

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

That is the most creative drop tower I have ever seen.

[@Oggy3000_]

Interesting mini-park! I really like a lot of those indoor areas, especially that drop tower ride skin; that was really cool! I'm really impressed by how smooth the wing coaster is! Personally, I feel like that coaster is one of hardest to get smooth in the game. The water coaster was also fun, but I think some of the outdoor areas were a little bare in theming. The flat rides chosen are definitely difficult ones to skin, and I think they were done fairly well, but there still could have been a little more detail, even if it's some 2D basic shape art on the ground. Overall however, this mini-park is really nice! There are definitely a lot of nice ideas and details throughout!

[@seanflynn6688]

Hahaha you strike again

[@seanflynn6688]

Wow just wow they are really turning up the competition

[@jeffeffery8181]

Best hammer swing skin I've seen Best sequencing on the standard air powered drop tower. Never seen it used like a tower-of-terror style scene based ride

[@joshuahares8153]

This is my favourite park I've seen in this contest and that drop tower jeez that was good

[@DJAWRemixes]

Asides from the fact the park is beautifully decorated and has a great amount of varied rides. The skinning of the rides is amazing and it felt very realistic, which I personally adore. This is absolutely the front runner for me and IMO is the best I've seen so far from this contest! Great job creator, I look forward to more of your creations.

[@cheezit505]

Amazing work on the ride skins! Loved that Hammer swing one. (from the thumbnail i thought it was just scenery XD) Drop tower was great! Amazing work Nightfall! :D

[@alastairpullan]

What a great drop ride. Love that it’s able to be a re-ride giving you a new ride each time. Over all park was great, really had the zen garden feel down to a T.

[@jawado9829]

Anyone else almost get angry when Johnny got so confused at The Epiphany queue, like just follow the path, sometimes he hurts my brain

[@mrmime5791]

I can't believe how good these all are

[@Gamerbro528]

Yeah voting is going to be difficult

[@rellimetep]

OK so I'm totally gonna subscribe to this now & deconstruct Zenith to learn how to build something similar in the future! Lacking a bit of finesse with the rest of the theming but I noticed one of your comments saying you were right up to the deadline so can kinda understand especially if you started your build a bit late or something. Coaster design was good too 👌

[@projectnightfall6882]

Go for it 😂 you'll find the wall of sequencers to the right of the Buddha statue. There are plenty of other little tricks going on if you watch the ride at night for long enough.

[@Channel-Z]

That was a neat little park! Like everybody's saying: Gotta love that that Drop tower! That flying island/Watch tower ride does remind me a bit too much of the 'Pagode' we have here in The Efteling in The Netherlands though xD

[@Nathandelange]

love the flat ride

[@gmoney2734]

Nightfall, on the Zenith drop ride, Johnny only showed two of the phrases that are below the passenger's feet. I am wondering what are the other two?

I admire the Japanese theming in this park it fits the theming

Ways to stop someone from wanting to build time machine 1. Warm person about the dangers of time travel. 2. Make person think that time travel is not real. 3. Make person think that time travel is impossible. 4. Tell government that scientific information on how to time travel should be illegal.

for me its a 8,5/10 GOOD JOB GOOD THINGS -the wing coaster was perfect -the freefall was unique -skins are pretty good -the boot ride darkride parts were on point and the outside part too -queue lines were not totally idealess want to mention the gardening was not a problem in my eyes, it's fitting for the theming BAD THINGS -boot ride tunnel view -little details on and in buildings are missing -the butterfly part destroyed the theming and was not fitting, also the flatride stood out as the bad themed one -queue lines were underwhelming a little
