SHOOTING DARK RIDE! - Realistic Planet Coaster Park Series - #8 - Grosvenor Gardens

Well, you love your realistic Planet Coaster parks, so let's do another one. Yes, SERIES 5!!! Welcome to Grosvenor Gardens: A completely legitimate par inspired by Gardaland in Italy, while still being a cross between Cedar Point, Thorpe Park, Dorney Park, Carowinds and Energylandia.
In the eighth episode we are pulling together a shooting dark ride - most likely made by Mack - into the park. Inspired very heavily by Ramses at Gardaland, this shooter is short, compact but pretty decent. It is also perfectly hidden into the hill with an oasis plaza on the to too. Not only that, it is surrounded by more pirate tat as the area comes to life. And with that, the pirate area is now done. This one over-ran slightly, so I'll try and keep it tighter next week - and yes, that's what she said.

Using realism I’ve learnt from my experience of working for a real-life theme park company and over 4000 hours of Planet Coaster play time. Using true-to-life principles, we walk through each stage of the build reasons why things are built in a certain way- as well as some top tips on how these were achieved too by pulling them apart for you to see. As the project progresses, I’ll release the park for you to enjoy, so please make sure you Subscribe to stay in touch! I'm the two dollars twenty of Planet Coaster apparently...
What if Cedar Fair opened a park in the UK? Would it look like Alton Towers? Thorpe Park? Or would it take on the form of more American parks like Cedar Point? Canada's Wonderland? Or would it be more themed like DollyWood, Legoland, Busch Gardens or SeaWorld? Oh, and don't forget Six Flags too! What about China? I hear Flying Kiss theme park in China is a good one too! Well, one thing is for sure, realistic Planet Coaster parks don't come much more realistic than this and let's be honest, other Planet Coaster Let's Play or Planet Coaster gameplay videos won't give you the real reasons why things are as they are. Where do you place rides, rollercoasters, shops, paths, plazas, car parks, entrance areas, tickets, turnstiles, maintenance sheds and so on? I'll tell you where as we up the Planet Coaster Realism game! This is more than just a Planet Coaster Tutorial; this is a Planet Coaster best park ever!' Just so you know, my realistic series uses Planet Coaster Sandbox. It's time to get Planet Coaster real! Episodes with rollercoasters also have rollercoaster povs too. Don't worry if you're stuck for Planet Coaster Entrance Ideas - this episode will sort you out. This is how to start a park. AND if you like the build styles of Themepark worldwide, bro nation, silvarret, maskedbandit, mike sheet, deladysigner and rudi rudikmental then you might just like this! We have very similar planet coaster building style. I wish I'd get noticed by Mr Beast haha

The theming in this park is 10/10! The dark ride is so much fun. Really superb job man!

[@dayanreynolds8851]

"The next episode is going to be smaller, because I have a busy week." *Builds two (fantastic) monolithic, multi-story buildings across a sprawling plaza* This series continues to be amazing. Not sure why some people would skip in videos; every minute is enjoyable.

[@Nerdchacho]

Yeah, I wasn't planning on finishing the area.. it was only meant to be the dark ride, but I saved time on the inside by is being simple, so got carried away with the area instead haha

[@plymlad30]

Love it and I have to agree on the multi launch too lol

[@lorenzodirani]

From Italy good work! Don’t stop with this series

[@CatsnCoasters]

Awesome update, really love the idea and execution of the plaza on top of the show building. Would never have thought to do that. I've never attempted a dark ride build as they seem to daunting, this vid has changed my attitude. 👍

[@Nerdchacho]

I wanted to do something more than sticking a roof on it and given that Gardaland doesn't waste any space, it seemed perfect! :)

[@maxbos6659]

Ey that's on my birthday thx man for the present 😉😂😂

Ahh nice one! Happy birthday for Sunday!

Wonderful ride and area. Brilliant use of the roof space as well.

[@Nerdchacho]

It is defo a popular choice to have done... I'm happy with that! A hidden gem of an Episode :D

[@Daniel-ui9zq]

Hey just wanted to say i've been watching all your videos while ive been off school with covid and there so gooddd! Never stop man keep it up 🙏

[@coastercreations6126]

Great dark ride! love all the terrain changes in this park

[@Nerdchacho]

Thanks! There are more coming this week too.. So far it has been a nightmare to do for Ep9 haha

[@Bmkmusic]

Really awesome dark ride. I love the idea of using the roof as a chill area--really neat that it's not wasted space! I would love a nighttime lighting tour whenever you get around to it :) Keep up the good work, Nerdchacho, this is shaping up to be another awesome park!

[@Nerdchacho]

I'll plan in a night-time tour... I always seem to tack it onto the end of something, even when I've spent loads of time making the lighting relatively good.. so yes, I think a second night-time tour is in order :D

[@thegreenking8863]

Greetings from Italy! this park is becoming more and more beautiful, congratulations! I also see the similarities with Gardaland.

[@Nerdchacho]

Ciao Italy! Come Stai? Thanks so much, I LOVE Gardaland.. I can't wait to head there again this year, I'm so excited!

[@TheCatsofVanRaptor]

I love when the English say “H” and you can hear the letter h in it.

[@vhheroicis6131]

Hey! Awesome video!! I would love to see a Gerstlauer bobsled coaster, something like Tiki Waka with some weird support structures would work I think in this park. Keep going!

[@Nerdchacho]

I did a small Bobsled in Fundy Funspot.. I might do one in the next park..

[@popster5411]

Hello again! Another fab video! The use of the tv screens for water reminds me of Sdanwolf. His use of tv screens and water to create a coral bay is unbelievable. Don’t work to hard, and stay safe.

[@Nerdchacho]

Ahhh, I knew that some-one else would have used that "method" too.. I only came up with it accidentally when cycling through the videos I had.. but it seemed far too obvious for no-one to have done it before.. :D

[@popster5411]

@@Nerdchacho here’s the link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epDafn5-ftCda6c He’s good, but it’s missing the Chacho finesse. You could easily take to the next level. (And his toilets are not a patch on yours!)

[@Nerdchacho]

I'm subbed to SDan.. I love his stuff :)

[@Zach-Zach]

If your trying for a dark ride try the diner wall with black and turn it around so the back is showing and it is completely black allowing as much forced perspective as possible due to there being nothing else to look at

[@Nerdchacho]

In tests the city wall is darker than the diner wall. The diner wall seems to throw quite a lot of light.. People have recommended this before.. We discuss this in the Episode of Raygate Lake..

[@jk-joe5757]

I would love to see your take on a new vekoma flying dutchman, I think it could fit with the park as they already have a Vekoma STC, and Great Job on the dark ride, you pulled it of really well.

[@Nerdchacho]

There is no way of doing them in the game. There is literally nothing to work with in game to make it work.

[@jk-joe5757]

Sorry My mistake, I thought I saw a youtube video where someone made one a while back must of used mods though.

[@ThrillRider247]

like i keep saying man... where that long path is behind the two buildings with the treess.. that area behind that. next to rock correy wall. you need a rapids their.. you could totally use the rock walls . as water falls.. and have it go in and out .. and weave around. with tons of screney and themeing.. it will work !!! trust me man.. keep up the amazing work.. you rock!! 100%%

[@TheCatsofVanRaptor]

So, in my head this is either Raygate Lake before it was a lake, or after all the water evaporated from nuclear explosions.

[@galli0313]

It's just an idea but would it be cool if the park gets duelling coaster. I've never seen one on your channel but maybe there was one and I have missed it😅. However, great video like always, keep it up! 👍

[@Nerdchacho]

I had one that I've deleted.. the mack launched was originally a duelling, but it didn't work with the profile. I've saved it for the next project... 😊

[@benitoramadhani5060]

completely agree with the multilaunch system, i mean it's not bad for some but sometimes it bit too much and it just lost the feeling for the big anticipation while going on the actual ride.

[@Nerdchacho]

Yeah, give me a good forceful launch over this watered down element..

[@benitoramadhani5060]

@@Nerdchacho cheetah hunt was a good example

[@MandJGames]

Great episode as always. I totally agree about the newer style launch coasters. I like the forceful ones more. Ice Breaker at sea world looks very average.

[@Nerdchacho]

I totally get it, it is meant to be a fake-out rollback and make a feature of it.. but they just feel lazy..

[@MandJGames]

@@Nerdchacho Agreed. You need to stop making crazy statements that I agree with. Lol. Next time you should say hypers are better than Giga's due to lack of airtime on giga coasters.

[@TheCatsofVanRaptor]

Obviously we want a night time tour

[@colinsmith5163]

What ride type is this?? I downloaded the game a while ago but cant find this ride in the track ride section. Also the ride itself looks great! Maybe instead of Fathom's Fight, The Battle of Shipwreck Cove. Speaking of which with the amount of boats Shipwreck Cove would be a pretty great name for the area if you don't have one yet haha

[@Nerdchacho]

It is the Quick Draw ride. I think you have to download it from Steam as a free DLC as it wasn't placed in game due to the "shooting" nature of the ride...

[@sonnysinnot7110]

Really nice rubbish dark ride!!

[@Nerdchacho]

haha, didn't turn out too bad in the end, did it?! :D

[@sonnysinnot7110]

No defiantly not

[@WolfRaging95]

At 4:46 that is a cool view of the zero-G-roll on the dive coaster.

[@Nerdchacho]

Oh yeah!! It really is!! Weird when it doesn't have heart-lining through.. They always look so weird :D

[@WolfRaging95]

@@Nerdchacho That is true. I just looked again and it does look weird with no heart-line. 😁

[@walkthru8622]

In the area right to the turnstiles, I feel like a volcano is about to emerge and it could be an jndoor boat ride too with an outdoor drop

[@Nerdchacho]

Interesting idea... It isn't that... but I like the idea in principle :)

[@walkthru8622]

So the shooting ride used to be a boatride called Fathom "Flight"?? FusionConfusion 🤣

[@smilealways7767]

I agree with the opinion 😂

[@bryceserious]

You should do a sky rocket II

[@ToliiRH]

I have to say I somewhat agree with your take on the multi launches. Especially on pantheon, I think it completely ruins the pacing of the ride.

[@Nerdchacho]

They're just a total let-down, they really are.. I place them BELOW current Mack Launches...

[@WolfRaging95]

How did you make the main plaza path around the 9:50 mark?

[@Nerdchacho]

Ahh, that one is covered in my path tutorial.. :)

[@toby7366]

I don’t 100% agree with the backwards multi launches. I love when you go backwards on coasters, especially backwards airtime. But I do agree that it’s sort of lazy, they could do a transfer track or something.

[@Nerdchacho]

Yeah, I get it.. they're a fake-out launch and makes a thing of a roll-back.. but it is just a lazy way to extend a coaster..

[@TheCatsofVanRaptor]

22:30 i just saw a guy walk through your grass thing in the middle. I.. I don’t know how that happened. I think your game is broken.

[@fabulousk9014]

Love all your parks, and your Videos are just awesome! Thank you! The only Thing i maybe dont like is your extremly long queue lines especially for flat rides. Most flat rides ive been ok in my life have really short queues. It makes them too grand. Also your parks are a bit too huge and perfect for me. Most people in planco tend to make perfect parks which i find unrealistic as most parks are way jankier and unplesaint. Not every Part needs big plazas and themed in my opinion. But thats just crying in high Level as your parks are probably one of the Most realistic in planco

[@Nerdchacho]

haha, I totally know what you mean. I'm not sure which part of the world you're in, so I'll talk for UK parks only - over here our flat rides are capable of getting 2 hour queues, so they need to have the queue space to accommodate it. We don't completely have the culture of rushing straight to coasters and ignoring the flats - the flats also form part of the whole day out experience. Thorpe Park is a great example of this, where rides like Vortex and Rush frequently hit 90 mins on busy days. Every PlanCo player has their own style and it is awesome that the game lets us have our own unique signature; but you're right, the one thing that is hard to do is jank - because the game is so polished and everything always looks "new" and well kept..

[@TheCatsofVanRaptor]

17:21 you jerk. You did that on purpose.

[@TheCatsofVanRaptor]

After watching everything, assessing it all… taking everything in… there is no excuse for what happened 17 minutes into the episode. Ill give you a pass for the grasshoppers, but the ghost issue you have in your park is ridiculous. OMG you don’t have the ghostbusters dlc, is that what it is?

[@Nerdchacho]

You're back on form I see... I love it... What happened at 17 mins!?
