If Valve made a theme park, it'd get like one new ride opening every 10 years or something.

[@k90v85]

theyd open a ride, renovate it a few tears later then leave it to rot, and wouldnt desconstruct it or lock the entrance to the ride

[@thewoodpeckers655]

Literally happens in real life😂 Dorney park, in Pennsylvania which I’m visiting in just 2 days got it’s first coaster in like 12 years a couple months ago

[@zfilms4858]

And every ride they do add raises the bar for rides

[@_GhostMiner]

​@@k90v85there would be so many lawsuits from this 😂

[@yourlocalpumpkin9832]

every ten years if were lucky

[@romancirigliano1210]

A Mann Co. Park where all the rides are crumbling apart is something that would actually exist in the tf2 world

[@DaRealBruner]

barely held together with literal duct tape.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

That was exactly my inspiration for the park. The signs are all painted over industrial safety isotype, the half-batwing on Payload Race is held up with random pieces of wood, and the description is a tf2-update-style blurb written by Saxton Hale "embellishing" the park and poorly hiding the fact that the rides and giftshops are repurposed weapons of mass destruction.

[@ezrabraman6437]

Well, mercenary park is almost exactly that

[@SandwichGamesHeavy]

XD

[@Goofygoober584]

I now want to make this

[@EugenijusKrenis]

Not gonna lie, a Valve amusement park sounds like a Defunctland documentary speedrun waiting to happen

[@rockstar_2279]

@@EugenijusKrenis you’re saying that like its a bad thing

[@ratwii]

Ya It's not always a bad thing

[@Guywhotypestoolongcomments]

Would probably be good as something like inside of like a universal or something or like a Six Flags

[@michaciejka2839]

17:50 Actually in tf2, at least on older maps (or at least on 2fort), both teams have distinct architectural style. The red teams buildings look like farms, since they are usually made out of wood, with haystacks and fake cows, while the blue teams buildings are more industrial, reminiscent of factories. That would have been a good way to add more variety to the rides

[@awesomewafflezomboid]

i always noticed that REDs base always looked more run down compared to BLU, specifically on 2fort and doublecross

[@28qwestnmrk]

A RED wooden coaster and a BLU steel coaster would be cool

[@romancirigliano1210]

The scaled down citadel in the middle of the park would go hard as hell

[@Eyepoke42]

It would be our Disney castle 😂

They could definitely afford it. Imagine one day Gabe decides to try to innovate in theme parks, I’m sure they could actually manage it.

[@POWMedia17]

Especially since Valve games go so hard on visual storytelling and that’s a major part of Theme Park Design

[@MIOG_MIOG]

Yeah it would be interesting to see it in 40 years

[@TheRealClaylex]

The kritzkrieg/Atomizer are based off of 2 character class weapons in the game Kritzkrieg gives medic unlimited kritz while the atomizer is a melee weapon that allows Scout to triple jump

A Valve theme park would be my Disney. And I would have no regrets throwing money at it.

[@ecs300]

I hate coasters but i’d 100% check it out if it was valve themed!!

[@gloveman0]

Well if 2 things are certain 1. You sold me on Planet Coaster 2. These are freaking awesome and a Valve theme park would rock. I'd be there alot

[@mrviking2mcall212]

There should be a Spy themed coaster that’s just a huge empty lot, and in the middle of it is a paper mask on the ground with a picture of an epic rollercoaster on it.

[@WildestgoatproductionsN77]

That would go hard

[@AllLoudontheWeirdestFront]

This comment made me laugh :)

[@althegamr]

I would legit kill for a valve theme park, might be because I'm a bit of a Fanboy for valve games but I genuinely think a valve theme park (kind of like Disney land but like a lot smaller) would be extremely fun

[@bravo2221]

Same here man. Same here

[@Gab157_Italy]

A theme park where to enter you need to take a ride on a train that brings you to a recreation of city 17 would be perfection

[@lambdrey]

18:02 That's kind of the point of the game. That's why these brothers have been trying to kill each other for about a century.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

This guy gets it. The bases in every map being mirror images of each other isn't just for gameplay reasons--it plays into the fact that RED and BLU are being played for fools by the same company. It actually took me extra effort to mirror the tracks, since the game doesn't have a mirror tool.

[@Redacted_Theorist]

Wait, so did Frontier fix the issue?

[@Doodle.D-cz4wq]

Oh that would be SICK I would go on a D.O.G themed ride cuz he's my favorite :)

[@saxwastaken]

If valve made a theme park they'd have like 3 really good rides that you eventually get tired of riding after 20 years of not getting any new ones that aren't just the same reskinned ride with new merchandise at the gift shop that you go through to exit the ride.

[@thegreenmarine985]

5:56 thats how you know its a true valve theme park

[@Dunswap]

There would sadly only be 2 rides :(

[@patriciafortesrigos2620]

Entendi a referência 😂

[@LKOnyx]

I could imagine a collab with Valve and Universal to create a huge themed area based on their IP's would be a literal match made in heaven. All their current IP's would be easy to make lands and rides for and I feel like Valve would be all for the oppurtunity to make a highly detailed area filled to the brim with references and easter eggs fans would hunt for. They're IP's wouldn't be too difficult to make rides out of either however I could see TF2 as the only IP to get rollercoasters since it kind of fits to the tune of the game anyway, while HL and Portal would be movement simulators similar to the Spiderman ride or Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at Islands of Adventure. They could also retheme everything for Halloween Horror Nights with Left 4 Dead

[@arekrekas213]

hop on the barnacle ride! it's truly neck-snapping fun!

[@FunAngelo2005]

I can see a water slide based on the pipe from section from portal 2

[@NLind]

For me a coaster themed around the intro to Ep. 1 when D😢😢OG throws the van into the Citadel and you plummet down would be a must.

[@mrcoolman333]

Always get lost in the rabbit hole of imagining a theme park of my favorite games and studios

[@Fugnut-model-No.001]

A personality core rail ride would be cool. Like how they ride their rails in the games.

[@hydrogenbond7303]

I'd do anything to have a chance to be inside Portal 2, especialy old Aperture.

[@munchbunchyt185]

I can imagine portal 2 just being where you get sucked into a pipe

[@Clicky_V]

4 things about the Half-Life themed area: 1. If there was a carousel ride, I think it would make more sense if it would look more like the Antimass-Spectrometer 2. If there was a ride where you would escape from City 17, I think It would be less of a rollercoaster and more something like Rise Of The Resistance at Disney. 4. I think it would be pretty cool (something for if everything was an entire park itself) if you would ride the Black Mesa tram into the park.

[@UniqueHandle977]

Oh my god you are a genius with the 2 and 4

[@wade4706]

The final part of the Portal 2 coaster is a Heroes of the Storm meme that was popular in Korea at the time. Similar to the Ralof meme. Mainly a round circle or black hole changes into the Heroes of the Storm logo, and the character who is sucked into it becomes the new champion of Heroes of the Storm, and is greeted by Uther, the person in charge of the tutorial. The point of this meme is that this much effort was put into it just to troll.

[@Trash_prince]

Mannland could be canon lmao Just crazy enough

[@zebbyzeppelin2818]

when i was a kid, I had this dream of creating and managing my own big Amusement Park just like Disneyland or Universal, i spent my days in schools sketching rides and lands of my favorite games, they were all valve I was really happy watching this video :)

[@dashdestroyer8238]

What a concidence, this got uploaded while I'm at a theme park (cedar point)

[@Eyepoke42]

You gotta ride a long boring tram to enter

[@CathodeRayKobold]

So just like every disney park then?

[@jjl2844]

_"Good morning & welcome to The Black Mesa Research Facility. This tram is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel. The time is 8:47am.

[@KashtiraFenrir]

What's wrong honey? You didn't even touch your Roshan burger. We gotta get to the Glados Coaster before the park closes.

[@BaldiMathGuy]

The Valve theme park splits into tf2 theme park and one of the rides should be like “Soldier’s Rocket Jump”, it’s like one of those rides that go really high up and back down real fast.

[@Eyepoke42]

That would be my Disney world

[@alexrexaros9837]

If Valve made a theme park, Team Fortress 2 would get a merry-go-round and nothing else.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

KZbin randomly recommended me this video. I had no idea it was MY PARK. I'm flattered to be put after that amazing portal 2 coaster--Browneyes put in so much more detail in every inch than me. Though I didn't intend my notice about the missing files to be quite so...sarcastic. The missing files included capture point sounds, round end sounds, and a sentence-mixed intro by the Administrator that accompanied the lift hill. Unfortunately, I don't have the files anymore, so even if the bug is fixed I can't put them back.

[@Enitii]

More than likely someone in the community where you brought awareness to it has the additional contents still on their drive and will upload it to Google Drive in a loud access. I had that problem before where a mod was just completely missing, but someone had it on a random Google drive.

[@brokendoop]

What would make a coaster like that insane irl is some sort of buttons the riders have to press at certain points to effect parts of the ride and determining who ends up getting ahead. Like if enough people press the buttons during a certain point it will switch the other team to a different track that's slightly longer.

[@mogusgaming3744]

Bro I literally had this idea and used it for a school paper about persuasive writing
