Can you give me any tips on how to create original building shapes??? I'm having a hard time with that!
Umm.... I start with an outline using WW skyscraper rooves and build up from there. :lookaroun
Another small update to let ya'll know that things are still moving along: There is one new photo (two actually, see if you can tell) in the Park Property album and two in the Six Flags Plaza album. Some gardening and path work is still to be done, but it can give you the general idea of what the area will look like.

Since the people at RCT2.com are so pushy, I have released a tester shot of the Daily Planet building and Superman: Ride of Steel's exit building/gift shop, The Superman Store. I'm too lazy to post the link right now, so look to the first post or wherever I posted it last.

Six Flags over Florida
December 3, 2003
Orlando, Florida- Six Flags Theme Parks announced today that their most risky and costly venture yet is well under way on the north side of Orlando. Six Flags over Florida is set to be in direct competition with Universal Orlando Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort, both major tourist destinations.
"Six Flags won't have any competition from Disney," one Orlando teen said. "Both parks draw very different crowds. Universal is the one shaking in their boots."
When Six Flags announced the park in early June, most critics said the park wouldn't last through it's first five years. Critics agree on this because Six Flags has a reputation for letting parks fall into disrepair and really bad customer service.
"You let us worry about that," said Lead Designer of Six Flags over Florida, Scott Shanklin. "This park will boast a customer service program equivalent to that of the Disney Cast Members down the road, if not better. Already we have thousands of trainees being taught everything they need to know to run this park. Also, every employee who will be in direct contact with guests must learn basic Spanish, French, and Japanese to better serve our foreign guests."
But why is Six Flags so cocky about the competition? Scott said that can be easily explained:
"This Six Flags is going to be unlike any other Six Flags park out there. It will contain next generation thrill rides and themeing. We realized when we decided to build this park that we would have to do something special, so we have decided to theme five of the parks eight lands to the state of Florida itself. These areas have been designed, but are being kept under wraps until the company decides to announce them. The other three areas will be themed to the DC Comics characters Batman and Superman and the Warner Bros. franchise Looney Tunes."
Many parks boast next generation thrill rides, but what will Six Flags over Florida actually contain? The company isn't revealing any details yet, but talks with B&M, Intamin AG, Huss, and other major ride manufacturers have been going on for a while. Rumor has it that Florida's first hyper coaster will grace this park, but it is anyones guess which company will produce the coaster.
"We have one ride that will be really special, even in this highly competitive area," Scott further commented.
And what about the rumored hotel?
"That was axed a long time ago. We are Six Flags, not Disney or Hilton. There were plans for an elaborately themed hotel on the property's southwestern border, but Six Flags, Inc. decided to focus all of their attention and finances on the park itself."
Six Flags has released the first photo of the Old St. Augustine area. The photo shows the recreated Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine and serves as the entrance to the Old St. Augustine area. Some touch-ups are still to be done, and expect to see the Castillo de San Marcos sometime in the near future. The photo can be found in Scott's Webshots Album.

I posted two more screens of the Old St. Augustine area about a week ago. I forgot to post them here.
I now have two parks in the works, so SFOF will have fewer updates than usual. The new park is Disneyland, but not what you think. I'm taking the best from each park and some original ideas to make an all new Disneyland. This park will rival Tilted Acres when released.
Screens won't be released until near completion due to the serious flaming of Disney parks at NE.

I like this park a lot! Looks good, can't wait to see more updates. I've been designing a Six Flags over Florida resort myself over the past two months. Instead of building a WB Movie World along with the park I am just adding a movie-themed land. There's also two hotels, the Atlantic Harbor Hotel and another unnamed resort.
The screens have been up for a while now.

Thanks! Are you doing a Disneyland with originals or just taking the best from each park? *cough**Eisner**cough*
I've put Six Flags over Florida on hold for now due to my sudden lack of enthusiasim for the park. If I have no interest for whatever I am working on, I won't put my best foot foward, and I didn't want SFOF to be a park made with little effort.
Disneyland Park will feature eight themed lands: Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Patriot Square (basically Liberty Square), Critter Country, Fantasyland, Shadowland, and Discoveryland. Each area will feature both ORIGINAL RIDES and RECREATED RIDES from various Disney Magic Kingdom parks.
I've finished the Disneyland Hotel recreation from Disneyland Paris. It now fully graces the parks entrance. No screens of it shall be shown until the time of release.
I'm currently working on Main Street Station, a recreation of the one located at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. I've got it nearly close to perfect, but the windows are being a slight problem.
I'll update with a screen when the Station is complete.

Sounds great!!! Disney Tilted acres was detailed but it had nothing original!!! I hope yours will look as good because your plans for the park sound good! Good luck!!!
Thanks. This park already has about 6 original rides in the works, including a new mountain.
I need some help. I have searched the internet all over for great, detailed pictures of Main Street, U.S.A. (WDW, DLR, DLP). I can't find any! If anyone has any suggestions for good detailed pictures of the structures up and down MSUSA (and the gardening around them) please post a link or email me at GAdawg2219@aol.com.
Thanks!
