Malibu Park

[Bubblegum]

Hello everyone,
Many of you will remember my RCT3 Park: Malibu Park over from TT, but I have left it to rot and continued its progress on here.

A little reminder of what has happened since my last update of the park:
- Malibu Park gets an 'explorers' style entrance retheme, with the main park logo changed.
- Most park signage has been updated to a more modern style.
- BeachWalk has been removed and in it's place: Mexico, a large area with a wooden coaster called 'Raging Gecko', a water/dark ride called 'Expedicion - Aztecas De Fuego', and a 'Slammer' type ride called 'Sun God', plus various themed food outlets, bars, and shops.
- The artificial island that was created where SpacePort used to stand is finally having construction work done to it to become Victoria Bayou, this area will also encompass the surrounding paths.
- Jukebox Rally has been expanded, more small attractions have been added, and a real Diner has been constructed, with the old Diner becoming Jimmy Speed's ride shop.
- Forsaken Bay (pirate area) has begun its transition into Chinatown, this involves a new coaster constructed.
- Towards the back of the park a large fence has appeared. A post apocalyptic style area is rumored to be constructed here.

During the next post I will post images of the park, but for this post I will be showing you some of the graphics for the park.

The Victoria Bayou logo, a theme of New Orleans is present here.

The logo for 'Victoria Sea Mission', which is a water coaster partially indoors.

The logo for the new 'Coffee Lounge' outlets across Malibu Park, replacing 'Coffee BAR'.

An example poster, of what could be displayed in the Coffee Lounge outlets.

The Mexico area logo.

This ride involves a boat ride through Aztec temples and a close encounter with fire.

A sign advertising the Peri-Peri Cookhouse.

Selling hot meat baps.

This ride is partially on water and can be seen from the park entrance.

Another food outlet.

The wooden coaster.

Raging Gecko's Store.

Raging Gecko's Bar

Malibu Park's new logo.

Malibu Splash's new logo.

These billboards have been constructed around the park, seeming to advertise the new area behind Jukebox Rally.

WOW, THE LOGOS LOOK BRILL

Hello everyone, large update here, including images of the new Victoria Bayou, Mexico and other progress around the park.

The Exotic Adventures Hotel in Island of Polynesia, has had a massive refurbishment with a large extension towards the back and a small pool area has been added. Also since as this hotel is now the only hotel on the Resort, it was decided to be renamed Explorers Hotel, to fit in the Malibu Park's idea to 'go and explore'.

Also the park monorail was deconstructed in early August, to make way for Sky, a new cable car system (featuring red Poma Sigma cars)

These photos were taken during a period of close time for the park with many areas having a good cleandown ready for the halloween festivities.

Image of a new sign that has appeared in the entrance, welcoming guests to the resort.

AN entrance sign, showing the logo with an updated font.

The entrance with its new facade, emphasising the exploring theme.

A sign for guest staying at the explorers hotel, noting that to get there it is easier to catch a ride on Sky.

The fountain in the entrance plaza.

Entrance to themepark, waiting for ticket scanners to be installed.

Across the other side of the bridge, a large sign showcases Malibu's new logo.

Another sign to inform hotel guests.

Sky entrance, with a new explorers facade, the signage is only temporary.

Sign giving directions to other areas of the park, there seemed to be a lot of directional sign around the park, perhaps guest were getting lost too easily?

New entrance to Moku Mauna Falls, the ride has been updated and now includes a wider rapids channel, water effects around the ride, and a cave section.

Looking from a different angle, this image shows some of the queue line which is mostly hidden amongst plants and buildings.

The queue line then passes over the rapids channel via a bridge.

The entrance to Coconut Co. Minetrain, which seemed to have been only just put in site as there was no plant growth around it and doesn't seem as highly themed as the Moku Mauna Falls entrance.

This image shows a trough which is next to the Coconut Co. Minetrain entrance, and how the queue line slopes steeply down bank so the track can pass over it.

A view from one end of the straight path to the other, showing how much the plants have grown in the past few years.

The exit for Moku Mauna Falls, this building attaches on to the cave. It is interesting to note that the Fastpass entrance is also here.

A store without the store.

The exit for Coconut Co. Minetrain, you can see here that the station has been refurbished with a new roof, and wooden extension towards the back. This also seems to be awaiting more theming and foliage.

Another direction sign, this one staying 'Got Lost In The Jungle Explorers?'

Tiki Kitchen which is a new building, and serves mostly grilled food.

New entrance to Explorers Hotel, which replicates the entrance to Malibu Park.

Signage for Explorers Hotel.

The Compass, a reservation only restaurant, and the hotel restaurant. It is currently awaiting it's dining furnishings.

Signage for The Compass.

Entrance to Sky from Island of Polynesia, this station happens to be directly opposite the entrance of Explorers Hotel, making it ideal for guests.

Going back down the area a fence has been constructed between Island of Polynesia, and the new Victoria Bayou. As you can see there is a lot of work going on with working running about, all over the place. Bu we were allowed to enter.

One of the buildings already has new signage up, this building will be known as Pizza Plaza.

The entrance sign for Pizza Plaza.

A large sitting area has been constructed which hangs over the surrounding river.

Another new building awaiting more facade work and signage.

Burger Country which seemed to be halfway through a repaint, this appears to be the back of Burger King in Jukebox Rally. Surely they aren't sharing kitchens?

A sign for Burger Country.

A sign that could only mean...

Nando's, with its modern but old style building, it fits well between Victoria Bayou and The Domain.

The entrance to The Domain.

The Sky station in The Domain.

A restaurant in The Domain, which is also lacking furnishings and menu signage.

The fountain in the centre of The Domain.

A look at Alliance's launch track.

Moving to Jukebox Rally, the sales and information building has become Bubblegum Radio, which seems to have been testing across Jukebox Rally's speakers all day.

A sign for Bubblegum Radio.

Walking further down the area, you may notice that Burger King is gone! Replaced by the in park brand: Burger Country.

Exit to Jukbox Rally, with Victoria Bayou directly in front.

There is a bridge that crosses the river in Victoria Bayou to an island containing a few rides.

Even though this area is classed as Victoria Bayou, the building seem to be a lot more steampunk and modern to me.

The sole big ride to Victoria Bayou, Victoria Sea Mission, taking guess on an indoor roller coaster though the dark occasionally popping out of the building and at the end taking a splashdown outside.

Another building in this area.

An overview of this area, with Victoria Sea Mission centre, and Nando's top right.

Even though this part of Victoria Sea Mission's facade is unaccessible it still seem to be highly themed.

The Pleasure Showboat, takes guests from mainland Victoria Bayou to this area, although since there is a brig, it is purely for enjoyment.

Sign for the Pleasure Showboat.

Walking into the Mexico area, we have a raised seating area.

Roast House with seems to self fresh meat baps.

Some seating in the area.

Raging Gecko Bar.

Raging Gecko Store, and on ride photo.

The entrance to Raging Gecko.

Overview of Raging Gecko area.

A section of Raging Gecko's track can be seen here.

A sign advertising the new Peri-Peri Cookhouse, which is like a takeaway version of Nando's.

The entrance to Expedicion: Aztecas De Fuego (yeah its a mouthful)

A sign advertising the Peri-Peri Cookhouse.

The Peri-Peri Cookhouse awaiting the kitchen and counter, plus a few other theming elements on the facade?

The entrance to Sun God, which is a Sky Swat type ride.

Sun God, which has additional theming added to it, including walls which surround the ride platform.

Taco Hut, serving tacos and drinks.

Cactus Cafe awaiting the shop and seating.

Some of Expedicion: Aztecas De Fuego's ride.

Overview of Mexico

A new promotional poster has been constructed on the end of the bridge that was originally the entrance to the Forsaken Bay, this new area is to have a Chinese theme and is believed to be called 'Chinatown'.

Thats all for this update, I hope you enjoyed seeing Malibu again, and all comments are welcome!

Chinatown and Mexico? When are Mystery and Wuze being built?

Nice park though! Personally, I'd say custom supports on the coasters and maybe steering away from some of the ingame wall sets (Bamboo is alright, but the Colonial ones don't look too great in my opinion). That aside, good job

 

[Tim]

I think I've said before that your logo's are amazing but I wanted to specifically say that the main Malibu Park logo is perfect. I love the blue colour scheme. Although you probably need to update the entrance now to make it look just as good.

Victoria Bayou also looks like a very inventive area. I haven't seen that style done quite like that before.

Keep up the good work.

Hey everyone, small update.

Here's the Malibu Park Resort Map for the 2012 Season!
You can see that Malibu Park Resort is actually quite small in size and the areas are in close proximity to each other.

An update on the park's progress will appear soon, with new images of Chinatown and Victoria Bayou.

Thanks also to Tim and Ian for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

Also, for anyone who is interested in Malibu Park on TT (the original Malibu Park) the following link will take you there - http://forum.towerstimes.co.uk/rct-and- ... libu-park/

Simply because of the similarities, I love it!

Hey everyone, its the first year I've done a Halloween event for Malibu Park.

Here's a list of updates for October:

• New logo for the Halloween event, the main Malibu Park not being used at all.
• 2 new scare mazes: Poison - Nature is taking over! Everything is venomous, its affecting the locals too! Can you get away before its too late? And The Virus - WHat happened in the warehouse? How did all those people become infected?? You seriously need to find a cure, wise The Virus might get YOU!
• The Compass Restaurant, which in the last update has no interior furnishings, has become 'Playful Patch', a chlidren's play area and meet and greet area!
• Jukebox Rally has become 'Live!', zombies roam the racetrack! Hitch a ride on Jimmy Speed to get out of there. And Fast!

 

[joelpagett]

I absolutley love this park! you have a fantastic imagination and stretch a basic game into a fantastic realistic park! Please post some more picture! Thanks

 

[Bubblegum]

Halloween at Malibu Park arrives soon!

 

[Bubblegum]

Okay everyone, with a large update coming over the weekend as Malibu Frights opens, I thought I'd create a small update, purely to show the new logos for the mazes/attractions.

Logo for Malibu Frights, including the dates which the event runs to and from.

Malibu Frights' feature maze, Poison is located in Port Aquatic in the plaza connecting to Island of Polynesia. The maze is situated in an empty facade building which has received a green and brown repaint.

The second on park maze is named The Virus, this maze is located on a section of currently unused park land behind Sky and next to Victoria Bayou. The building containing the maze looks similar to a warehouse, bathed in a deep red light.

Jukebox Rally has had a halloween retime, with string lanterns being hung across the entire area and the areas soundtrack (bubblegum radio) being replaced with something more sinister. The area is covered in live scare actors, with a strict only 13+ warning plastered over the area.

Playful Patch, located in the (yet to be opened) Compass restaurant, and features a character meet and greet area for the little explorers.

Halloween Update everyone!

The entrance to Malibu Park, wich over the month of October has been renamed to Malibu Frights.

A sign next to the entrance shows the price list for theme park entry.

Moving into the entrance plaza, bunting has been put up all around and various things have been repainted purple.

Crossing the entrance bridge, which has also been painted purple.

The main plaza has had some halloween theming put in place, as well as the bunting and repaints.

It appears the entrance to Sky has been blocked off, a sign explains why.

The entrance to Coconut Co Minetrain now all the foliage has grown.

The Store in Island of Polynesia has opened.

Leading away from Island of Polynesia custom supports have appeared on the Coconut Co Minetrain.

Heading into the now open Victoria Bayou, you are greeted by a large entry sign.

It seems this area is still under construction, these large boards were around the area.

The Virus is located in Victoria Bayou and seems to be only a temporary building.

The entrance to Jukebox Rally has been decorated for the event.

Moving through Jukebox Rally, these scare actors were seen everywhere.

Going further into the area I encounter Pitstop Racers.

Moving along the path, the new Jukebox Rally Diner has opened.

Jimmy Speed has also received some custom supports.

The launch building for Jimmy Speed is also themed.

At the back of the area, where boards which previously told people that they 'must escape!', new signs have been built and some theming has been built.

After a long while, it started to go dark so we headed over to Playful Patch, which looks amazing at night.

The sign could have done with being lit up but it still looks nice.

The Explorers Hotel looks very nice at night, the lights are very effective.

The Poison maze building looks great lit up at night!

After making our way back over Victoria Bayou, the Jukebox Rally sign is hardly visible at night with all that fog.

Heading back to the entrance now, a sign has been built giving directions to the mazes.

As the park had now closed, we started to leave and decided to pop are heads into Malibu Splash for a quick photo. New blue lights illuminate the waterpark.

Thats all for this update, thanks. Comments and feedback are greatly appreciated.

One thing I must point out is that your logo making skills are amazing, and I particulaly love the Malibu Frights logo as it looks so professional.

I do like your Mine Train, the theme reminds me of RMT. The ride uses plants to good use on the theme so well done there. (Something I should work on ) My only point of improvement is that you should use thinner supports on the Mine Train, maybe try Moby's steel works V1.

 

[Rupert]

Those custom supports make a huge difference! I think they're long overdue but they really make the park look much better, good work! The entire park looks super for halloween too, I really like what you've done with The Virus.

For the wooden coaster I'd suggest using DasMatze's Wooden Supports Replacement, but other than that it's all good!

 

[joelpagett]

Once again, fantastic park! You have inspired me to do a little something myself if you wanna check it out!

http://rctlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12755

I really love this park! If I ever win a few hunderd million on the Lottery your the guy I would let design it!

Can you point me in the right direction of that bunting? its really cool and I would love to use something like that!

Many thanks

Joel

 

[kydog1299]

Where did you get the bunting from?! Been looking for it everywhere!

 

[Bubblegum]

Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last big update, and I'm glad to announce there will be one soon!

However, my park is not quite ready just yet. So in the meantime I'll leave these faux posters that have appeared in the park over the last couple of weeks.
