MEGA BUILD: Traction Park! Park Spotlight 339: Planet Coaster

[@Channel5Gaming]

Time to vote on the Expert Bracket of the mini park contest!: forms.gle/3ovPS9wCiMLhXvzq5

[@stevenbakos]

Damn that was hard to do lol

[@xdiscoballx]

All these creations have been truly amazing, they have more than exceeded the obligations of contest. The Expert Bracket should be so proud of themselves! This bracket has been an absolute joy to watch. In the end, the way I made my picks was simple: How did each park make me FEEL?

[@Robbedem]

already closed? :(

[@duanecarter5050]

Honestly for someone who was watch the movie mortal engines you would have to get the story and movie to understand the park but he did a ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JOB and thank you always channel 5

[@SCReconcile]

Thanks Jonny and Web. The only thing you missed was the shopping district and cafeteria on E deck with 4 themed shops but after 50 minutes i'll let you off. :D Couldn't agree more about the deck b,c and d all merging together, and getting a bit boring. I initially wanted to make the each unique with more shopping districts or flat rides but i just ran out of time and maxed out my rides (I put 450+ hours, so i now know my absolute limit what i can do in 2 months). in hindsight i should of blocked off the dead ends, since i didn't have time for the shops, but was torn between making every area reachable by path. Was hoping that the map and POI's would have helped in that regard. But enough of that, really enjoyed the video.

[@matsv201]

Yea.. reducing it with one level.. or even two.. would probobly be benfical.. but i guess. that was probobly close to impossbile after starting to build.

[@SCReconcile]

​@@matsv201 once i decided on the HH it kind of sealed my fate, its as low has it could go and still hits the bottom of the cathedral. If i were to do it again, you're right i would remove a deck and it would give me more time to make the other 2 better

[@johnhirschfeld6196]

i don't think there's anything wrong with the decks the way they are, if you're following movie/novel fidelity. level D and C are like middle class, and i saw definite improvement with like balconies and such on B. i think it's very well done. the dead ends could have had a shop at the end to make it worth getting there, but otherwise it's absolutely gorgeous and if it were a real park, i would enjoy all these paths to just walk and chill.

[@matsv201]

@@johnhirschfeld6196 It depends on what city you are refering to. There are cities in the book from everything from 2 decks to 8

[@matsv201]

@@SCReconcile yea..it must been a nightmare planing. What i kind of missing that johny didnt touch on would be more varied hights of buildind, that would make it more inteasting... But i kind of got it when the levels was locked in... there was just no way of doing it Greate work... im so happy you fullfilled my wish regardless of you knowing it or not.

[@DancerDude]

Jonny and Web, wanted to point out that the Ferris Wheel was actually a "transport ride" between the floors, it's why you see the platforms jutting towards the Ferris Wheel cabins on each floor.

[@matsv201]

Is it functioning or decorative?

[@DancerDude]

@@matsv201 You can’t actually manipulate the Ferris Wheel to stop at exact points and open the doors of the cabin, but it’s SCReconcile’s take on an alternative transport ride if it were an option to operate as such.

[@spaceactivistarchive4180]

I was wondering about that as there are platforms on every level but they never showed a main loading area. Thought maybe it just had lots of emergency exits.

[@DancerDude]

@@spaceactivistarchive4180 The main loading area can be seen from the Horror Heights at @38:14!! That’s one of the beauties of this creation, is that almost every flat ride and main ride interacts with one another at some point.

[@born2bOCD]

Loved the movie! And this creation really does it justice! I disagree with all of Johnny's gripes. This park is absolutely amazing, wonderful, and perfect! The integration of all of the rides with the city is superb! I actually like the maze of city streets, makes it feel more like a densely populated city, not just an amusement park. Top notch! Legendary!

[@micycles1200]

Damn it. I feel so bad. I said that the space park was going to win. I can't say that anymore. This is it. This is the winner. SC Reconcile, you are King Coaster from here on out. Who can top this? Really? Nobody is going to beat a FREAKING TANK! Unless they have a battleship to beat it with, there's no way that any of the Masters or Legends are going to be able to compete. I said it in the last contest and I'll say it in this one: SC Reconcile is in a league of his own. He's gone beyond legendary. This is a godly creation. Whatever nitpiks Johnny and Web have are so unbelievably miniscule compared to the majesty that is the movable fortress. Hats off and bow down to the the reigning King Coaster himself, SC Reconcile. We are not worthy to stand in his presence.

[@tanzosmusic383]

I think there's a helicarrier coming up in the Legend bracket... so yeah there's that.

[@Make573]

For Channel5 Gaming crew, who don't seem getting the idea: Mortal Engines its actually Post Apocalyptic Scifi Movie, telling about Traction Cities, whole cities that are moved by tractor engines. Movie itself its a mix of Post Apocalkyptic Scifi, Assassins Creed and good adventure. Definetly recommendated to watch.

[@scubasteve6730421]

Wow-what a submission. This is impressive on so many levels. This community continues to amaze me with the creativity we see in each contest. Planning that coaster and Ferris wheel to go through so many decks in mindboggling. A++++

[@alexthebassist23]

Is that st pauls cathedral on top? It looks like a giant 40k moving fortress!

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

To be 100% honest: I have mixed feelings... I bow down for the creativity and the depth of construction, details, that you can believe everything... the way to use the rides as engines and stuff is amazingly creative and an inspiration for builders to come. I was staring at all the details, grasping the atmosphere.... But then, unfortunately, it started to become a bit boring, like you are over saturated... you are happy to find another entrance to a ride and to be entertained again... The rides itself are impressive. The shooting ride? Phenomenal!!!. The coaster? Fantastic!!! The ferris wheel? Hmmm at the lower decks a bit claustrophobic but then, up at the cathedral... bammmmmmm.... The cathedral? Majestic! But how do one rate this? I am not sure, because I am moved between being highly amazed and bored at the same time... weird...

[@matsv201]

Yea... I was actually suggesting building a traction city in the competition announcement: but was thinking something like a 3 level city with a bit higher on every level. That would probobly made it a lot easier for the builder He peobobly needed to put 20 rides in it to feal like it was alive. It would be intresting to modofiy lavel D and C and put more rides into them

[@Xfacta12482]

Yeah it felt a tad empty. Like a Fallout 4 town lol. Lots of building but not much interesting to discover.

[@Bmkmusic]

I agree with pretty much your entire sentiment. Parts were absolutely amazing, but overall I was a bit underwhelmed.

[@RobBossOne]

A little extra info about Mortal Engines helps to understand the theming. While the lower deck engine workers and upperdeck city leaders are kinda similar to the Snowpiercer comparison, the REAL slum's are more the people that are not part of this particular city on wheels. The main "engine" from the movie was post collapse London and they would feed their engine by roaming through remains of old abandoned cities and less fortunate populated ones. There are other civilizations that survived but none as feared as London on wheels, the viewing points looking out were actually for residents to observe the hunts of smaller vehicles and towns on wheels.

[@asamushroomcloud]

I love the books, and I'm incredibly impressed that this works as something clearly inspired by the books (it even reminds me of a land-based version of Brighton from the third book) but doesn't just shove in a load of cheap references. It's all about the theme and setting instead. And even better, you don't have to know the books at all to appreciate that this is an absolutely breathtaking creation. Thank you so much for making it.

[@TheButters5000]

That looks fantastic. Unbelievable. Wow.

[@muhammadhamzaasif7797]

This guy deserves to be the King coaster again cuz he has just made floors on floors of park to escape the area restrictions without the whole park looking ridiculuos!

[@Scottie_S]

This was an epic park in so many ways and the attention to detail was fantastic in respect of ties to the movie. Love this creation.

[@stevenbakos]

I could not judge this bracket! So many outstanding parks! Reminds me of my building days in SecondLife!

[@alekszglinska5615]

Yes! That's what I've been thinking.

[@AnAngelineer]

Trick to not get lost : place pink penguins on the paths you already explored! :p

[@toastyboysgaming8948]

I think that was a fantastic park SC. fantastic building placement, the paths were great. I understood that the D level was meant as living space so there isnt shops there. Great work my friend and I cant wait to see whats next. I wish you luck in the voting!. (TOASTY)

[@spamwise249]

It's kind of the flaw with building something to resemble an actual town, that you have to have what to the people who live there are routes to their houses, but to us are dead ends. I'd say it's contribution to the whole outweighs its individual lack of use as if there weren't there, the theme wouldn't have been as strong. And my word is that theming strong. The best way aroudn it would be to give each house a postbox with a moderator/comunity members name on it. Would be a lot more work but turns it into a fun adventure rather than another "here's a dead end" moment.

[@matsv201]

He could put in loads and loads of interaction poitns like claw machines.. just to make the dead end a bit more populated. But this parl could peobobaly swallow 2000 people and it would still be deselated.

[@keesvreeswijk8633]

I enjoyed Mortal Engines. Really awesome concept to base your park on!

[@flatspin7]

You know it’s going to be amazing when the video is 45 minutes long and the rest are 20-30

[@bluedeath996]

As a city, I think it is missing signposts, street signs, benches, and clutter. Most important being someway to navigate it.

[@Anigmandra]

That looks amazing, and you nailed the movie with these build!

[@Deathbruce]

Web you are one of my favorite reviewers besides fauranna!!! These last few parks in this bracket have been crazy good!!!!

[@blazewarriorwolf]

This is sooo awesome, I know I'm voting for this park! I actually enjoyed seeing all them buildings and that roller coaster is a speed demon!

[@Firestorm500]

This bracket is freaking INSANE! 1/3 of the Expert builders deserve to be insta-promoted to Legend! The Masters and Legends REALLY have to live up to that title to beat what was accomplished in this bracket, let alone this incredible park! I just had no choice but to vote Traction Park in 1st place over Asteroid Outpost, which I never even thought that any park could beat. Now let's see if the Masters and Legends can beat this, which is something I never thought I had to say!

[@royy1994]

This is mindblowing! pls dont stop and keep going, I have seen almost all Johnny's video's.. But this is the best thing if ever seen!!! if seen the movie but this is 10 times beter then the movie :D

[@alishaagnihotri9020]

This is my favourite park. Everything is so detailed. Some of the best ride skins I've ever seen. The coaster was fab. The lower two deck were amazing. Shooting ride fab. I agree with johnny that city could have a little more personality but what you've done here is a masterpiece. I am amazed. Voting you as my favourite ❤️ Love love love ♥️

[@nickhowl]

Now I have my top 5 completed! Awesome creation! Next time, if you have a Dead end, justo open up a Building and put a little easter egg inside. Very good job!

[@leroyanderson2843]

This was an amazing mini park and the rides were awesome. The maze like walking path were a bit much but it was astonishing when I have seen this movie Mortal Engines. It's not exactly like which is okay. It was a great experience on this Mortal Engine City.

[@Benutzername1]

WOW. Just wow. I loved the Movie (Mortal Engines). An yes, its as Websearcher said: Postapocalyptic setting where Towns moving arround to find resources. And This Creation is so great. It perfectly brings back the feeling of the Movie. And im so impressed, how good all the rides are integrated. Very goog job. The only thing, i have NOT liked (just in my personal opinion) is: The spawning point of the guests / park entrance. In my opinion, it destoys a little of the concept, of a moving town, when theres a Bridge to get on this town. Maybe it would have been better, to set the spawning point IN the town. But thats just my opinion. Anyway. I love this

[@topdog4614]

I love you videos I’m going to get the game on Xbox in November, please never stop doing these videos

[@capitalthrills]

Holy f*** this incredible. This is just insane

[@terraincognitaband7273]

my advice for you, to make your Spotlights even better: please inform yourselves about the movies (or any other topic) the parks are about. There are so many details, and so many places that totally make sense in the context of the movie and would blast your review for this one. I have noticed this issue before, e.g. at Spongebobs Park where there were so many missed details.

[@zero_foxpants]

Of course, that would be neat, but these guys had to do a shit-ton of work to get through all the submissions and produce these spotlights, so I think it's a little too much to ask, to be honest. 😉 Also references, easter eggs and other details are nice, but they should be the cherry on top and not the actual meat and bones of your creation. If something only makes sense in the context of your source material and not in the context of this being a themed mini-park, then it's still valid criticism.. in a contest for themed mini-parks.

[@matsv201]

Great. I did comment in the competition announcement video that i wanted to see at traction city, but i didn´t have time or skill to do it my self. Johnny did answer my comment and was super negative.... Thats kind of fun... I guess he change his mind now. And i´m really thinking this is the best so far.

[@Xfacta12482]

[@robertescher3082]

I mean, I'm not a builder or even a member of your discord yet, but I've been chiming in on each of these I've watched. My thought process is "Did I see something new?" Yes, that Giant Ferris Wheel with essentially the 'skin' being the entire freaking park? OK, that's new, but unlike say, Asteroid park, this one felt 'over built'. So, I regret it earns only 9 out of 10 acorns. Beautiful, but a bit repetitive.

[@edenmoon8275]

Awesome park! really complex, love it, not a no.1 for me, but definately Top 5

[@pooppoop9661]

wow this park is awesome

[@mgunter]

Wasn't Mortal Engines that one movie that was overhyped to the point of no one seeing it? Just another Jupiter Ascending?

[@RainbowDemon]

Mortal Engines is a book series where all of humanity has gone mobile, major cities, and even some smaller ones have been put on treads and now move around seeking resources and new people. Theres also a society of people who dont believe in that and instead choose to fly, or live on the ground. The main big city of the world is London which this park is definitely most inspired by. Highly recommend, good read. Don’t watch the movie, pray with me we get an hbo show instead.

[@brycepetersen6641]

The craft in this build was absolutely astonishing, but unfortunately it lost me at being an actual park. In the end it was just too much city, not enough amusement. Stellar work, don't get me wrong, but I think Asteroid Park takes it for me in this bracket.

[@Cheezus]

was an interesting movie, maybe not the best but it had some killer visuals

[@sevencell80]

I came for the amazing build, but I stayed for the “That’s what she said” line! 😂

[@matf6661]

I was abit annoyed at the complaints about there being not enough rides and shops because the point is it's a city with a theme park built in, the roads to "nowhere" are the city bits

Having not read or seen Mortal Engines the first thing to pop into my head seeing this was the anime Robot Carnival.

[@Bmkmusic]

I like the previous one better, to be honest, felt like more of a theme park to me. This is amazing, but my vote would be for Forgotten Oasis... but I don't think I'd have either one in first place, there's at least one other I like better. But holy crap, what a bracket!

[@loveycat5474]

It is like a mobile city. Once you enter you must move in. Maybe all of the places labeled some texts are actually apartments and condos. Maybe you can buy part of the complex and have a business like the manager of a apartment complex or a restaurant. This will help pay for your rent, food, clothes,etc. You keep on getting lost so you have to move in and never leave. Shooting ride with people dying means that you will die there. O no! The we have entered the ship and we are trapped. We can,t leave. Oh no! We have accidentally entered the enemy's ship where they plan to kill as many civilians as possible. It is a mobile war zone. We are doomed. At least we will have fun till we die from being shot from the shooting ride. I guess the secret to a long life is to stay on the top decks. But for how long until we will want to go on the shooting ride where we meet our doom. The enemy is so evil. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😱😱😱😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👻👻👻👻👻👻

Mortal Engines style?

[@duanecarter5050]

Yes

[@akaSUPERMAN]

As a city, this makes sense. As a theme park it doesn't. I think J and Web are right; in a park, every corner needs to be worth the walk in a theme park. Everything here is sooooo spread out that it gets kinda frustrating to explore. That said, this is incredible. Legend art style, but layout needs some help

It probobly could work.. but it would need 20 or 30 more rides.

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

I'm about half way through the video at the point, and I see a fatal flaw in this design. This is a masterpiece... but it's only half done. To have those long corridors like that, and especially to have them end in dead ends, you NEED to fill that space with stuff. More shops, more rides, more easter eggs, etc., and frankly, I don't think PlanCo HAS enough of those things to really do the job well. You definitely need as many of what the game DOES have on EACH LEVEL, not just relegated to a "food court" area. Yeah, they are supposed to be people's homes, but the game doesn't support people going into and out of "homes" like that. Again, I'm only half way through at this point, but the park just isn't that interesting, and as wowed by it as they are, I can tell that Johnny and Web are frustrated by it at this point.

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

So, Johnny pretty much repeated my suggestion, about a minute later in the video. Something like this just needs more. More what? More everything. Everything that PlanCo offers, spread throughout the "park".

[@Josh92SA]

Going to be honest, not sure about this park. A lot of spots seem too empty and bland, repetitive and nothing really pops. The theming also doesn't really go with the big tank looking park structure. Found that odd and pointless. Some of the locations and pathing needed more detailing too.

[@JohnDoe-my8kj]

Not a fan of the art style, or theme. Far too serious for my liking.
