I'll do the coaster! And anything else if needed.

I'll take the C-ticket catacombs dark ride.

Awesome, just waiting on @AceAstro

I'll take Dining and Land Description if you or outbound want to do Shopping!

I'll take Dining and Land Description if you or outbound want to do Shopping!

I can do shopping, unless @Outbound wants it?

I can do shopping, unless @Outbound wants it?

I could always do it, but given I had shopping last round, I'll hand you the baton!

Sounds good! If I need any help I'll let you know!

 

[PerGron]

Quiet day, just checking in to make sure we’re all good. Also, I’d imagine so for consistency’s sake, but I wanted to make sure @Outbound are you making a map?

Doing alright. Working on that C-ticket dark ride.

 

[AceAstro]

Sure

I’ll get you the basic land descriptions (enough for a map) by the morning!

Thanks! Unlike the tiered city, I don't have much to base the map on (so far). A basic land description would be fantastic!

For the coaster, I've opted for a combination of story and thrills. The magic carpets fly overhead famous cities of the Mediterranean Sea, with miniature propped cities (similar to the beginning of Peter Pan's flight) underneath the carpets at all times. Great care must be taken to ensure this portion of the ride is both thrilling (around the same speed as Big Thunder Mountain) but also provides enough air time/top of the hill moments so you can take a look around. There will also be interactions with the various famous buildings, such as a helix around the Pyramids of Egypt and the Coliseum in Rome.

The starting and ending segments of the ride, on the other hand, are outdoors, where the coaster hits top speeds (representing departing and returning to the White City). Here is a map:

Here is the route -- starting from Zerzura in the Libyan Desert, and headed counter-clockwise from Egypt to Carthage.

For the map and land description, my camel PeopleMover is going to circle the whole land, almost like a mini railroad. The camels will go up over the pathway by the entrance and make it look like sand dunes, that way they don’t cross guest paths

I love this coaster design. Question for you though: is it a launch or lift hill? There doesn’t seem to be a long enough straightaway for either for it to pick up speed

So I couldn't represent height with the map, but the station is actually fairly elevated, so the ride starts with a slight drop to give it enough speed to pass through the first room. Then after helixing around Egypt, the ride has its lift hill between Egypt and Mecca. It has a second lift hill during Modern Arabia, providing enough speed for the outdoor segment.

Oh, perfect! I love that style!

Basic land description:

Guests follow the path around the lake (silver) to come across a tighter squeeze place. Up against the lake, there is a small oasis between the path and the lake (the dark green). There is a small shop and QS there (the purple). Across from this oasis is a sandy area complete with two large obsidian "gurads" a small windy path leads between them. Upon going down the path, guests walk under a large sand dune to be transported into a large oval area. In the centre, guests can find dinging and shopping areas, to their left is the C-ticket catacomb ride (the olive), to the right, the camel peoplemover (maroon. loading platform and track highlighted with yellow underneath representing the dune). At the far back, the magic carpet coaster (teal).

The entire land is encased by this large sand dune to keep the outside out, and the city on the inside in.

---

It is a pretty rough draft but should be enough for the map! Let me know if you need more!

@AceAstro 's how's this?

It's not as linear as your map shows, but I was worried having one of our five lands be locked into one entry and exit would cause huge traffic problems.

The "empty desert space" could be home to shrubbery, walking trails, camel people-mover track, and possibly even more animal exhibits (ex: Crocodiles near the swamp?)

I love it! I would just add a path for the camel track so it is clear, otherwise, it looks great!

Nile Crocodiles would fit nicely and be thematic as they were pretty prominent in most mythologies of Northern Africa.
