    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
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  5. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    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
  6. 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
  7. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    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.
  8. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    Yes, but with justifications
  9. James6 posted a topic in Nonsense
    Closing time for entries etc will be the same as last weeks
  10. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    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...
  11. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    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"
  12. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    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
  13. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    ^ 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
  14. 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.
  15. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    I don't think so, it's just a bit of fun :PWhat kind of prize/reward were you thinking of?
  16. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    Just a reminder, voting will close tomorrow evening just before the next challenge will be announced
  17. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    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
  18. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    Yep, they pretty much cover it
  19. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    Thanks very much Ian :PRemember guys you can't vote for yourselves.
  20. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    Sure, :PMonsterDan5JoshCDummiGuyHoltJammy16MiniShinnyThemeParkMadJake CMikey TGandhiEdit: Thanks
  21. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    To have everyone's name who entered on, as an easier way for everyone to vote.
  22. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    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
  23. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    Fingers crossed MiniShinny :PVoting will open momentarily
  24. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    Slight change of plan, challenge will actually end at 8.00 tonight instead of 7.00
  25. James6 replied to James6's topic in Nonsense
    What makes you think next weeks challenge will be similar to this weeks ?
