There is quite a range of different possibilitiesReally it depends what your most comfortable doing. For example you can do a sketch in paint, or do what Jake C did and use an ariel picture which you can get from Google Maps.You could also just get a blank sheet and use a program such as Picasa ( great little picture thing from google, free of course) and just re-arrange a few pictures in places that you would want your area to be, and to show where your attrations are going to be.There are tons of ways, and its just about your way. I hope I've helped, if not PM me and I'll try again

I think it says something when the best themed things that can be thought of is the entrance plaza and the shops... And if you think that's "fantastic" theming I do wonder what you think of places like Disney, Universal.I sound like such an Alton fanboy, I'm not, but anyone who believes "the park itself" to have "fantastic theming" and Alton to have poor theming is , in my opinion, utterly dillusional.Also, where has the "Legend" story been "milked"? By my calculations it has been used once... on one ride... And even so how could that take away the "magic" do you walk around the park going, " You know what I would really be having a better time right now if they hadn't used a unique legend to create an brilliant ride experience"Agh, I really don't do these kind of posts very often at all but it is so frustrating, for me anyway.

One thing I without doubt, passionately disgree with is that the theming is good... What is there is good/ mediocre, but apart from Saw, the front half of Nemesis Inferno and Tidal Wave, where is there ANY theming? And also that its the best park in the UK, and that it is even anywhere near as magical/ atmospheric as Alton Towers. But the rest I agree with really

Computer screens/game consoles/ films on a projector are pretty awesome

Those plans look really great :PA couple of points though,1. Remember you have almost a week so you can take your time if you wish :huh:2. Thorpe Park already has a B&M Inverted, having 3 wouldn't make a huge amount of sense.Apart from those small things it really does look great, Your application will definately be considered Edit: Also if you could elaborate on your ideas that would be good, possible elements of the coaster, theming in the queue, theming in the area, space for possible future developments, what they could be, etc ? The more detail the better

Very impressive :PGreat job, especially on teh buildings, I always struggle with those! :huh:One thing though, to make your recreation even more accurate, from the atari forums you can download custom rides, e.g. an S&S Screaming Swing, or a more accurate Eurofighter.Like I say its still great though

Ask as many questions as you feel you want to :huh:The whole idea is an application for our new Creative Director role, if you wish to add a mock Press Release then great, but overall the main thing has to be as stated, a sort of plan.

Yes, but with justifications

Closing time for entries etc will be the same as last weeks

And Voting is closed...The winner is...HoltJammy16!Well Done *Round of Applause*Well Done to everyone who entered, thank you very much, best Challenge ever :huh:Now prepare yourself for this weeks...

I quote myself Indeed I do/did vote, well I did this week. If there was a small amount of votes as there used to be I wouldn't, but considering we've had 14 votes I felt I would put forward my opinion :DI also think there should be a prize, maybe I should hand deliever it as well :PJust over an hour left guys... How about a small teaser about next weekGet your creativity caps on ready for your "job"

I am planning on releasing the result and next week's Challenge at 8.00 tonight :PRemember it will be on a different topic though

^ He speaks the truth! But yeah, it's just a but of fun, no need for a prize, also there isn't really anything like it, even on other forums so hopefully its good for you guys. Not only that, we all love theme parks, and it's linked to theme parks... what more could you want

As great as it is, all rides have a shelf life and the Arrow Suspended coaster is supposedly 25 years...I think Chessington will do all in there power to keep it, but when it becomes cost ineffective, it will go :PAlthough isn't there a thing where if a building or something is there for a considerable amount of time, it can be replaced with the same or similar structure?Hopefully this would solve the problem of once the rides gone nothing can replace it.

I don't think so, it's just a bit of fun :PWhat kind of prize/reward were you thinking of?

Just a reminder, voting will close tomorrow evening just before the next challenge will be announced

Just a small note,I'm sure there may be a few people who would have been creating an entry but then weren't on last night or whenever to submit it, therefore you can still enter your adverts and your name will be added to the list. Only thing is you'll have less time for people to vote for you. Reason for this addition, I didn't want anyone who had created one to not be able to enter there's purely because they were unable to get online last night.Thanks and happy voting

Yep, they pretty much cover it

Thanks very much Ian :PRemember guys you can't vote for yourselves.

Sure, :PMonsterDan5JoshCDummiGuyHoltJammy16MiniShinnyThemeParkMadJake CMikey TGandhiEdit: Thanks

To have everyone's name who entered on, as an easier way for everyone to vote.

Slight technical hitch :PCan't create a poll, I assume I need to edit the original post in the full editor, but according to my computer that link is broken

Fingers crossed MiniShinny :PVoting will open momentarily

Slight change of plan, challenge will actually end at 8.00 tonight instead of 7.00

What makes you think next weeks challenge will be similar to this weeks ?
