Hey! Unfortunately, that project is delayed due to an ongoing project for Kings Island. Once that is complete, I can resume working on Atrocicoaster. I have made substantial updates to the project since it's start. I may even re-theme it to the new Jurassic World movie coming out. If you would like a behind the scenes look, feel free to join our Discord channel and send me a message. I know you really want us to release it. discord.gg/Xenua8Jh

@@Escape_Designs Please do it soon.

Let's do it!

We 3D modeled it in Blender. Let me know if you have any other questions!

We used lots of preliminary design layouts in No Limits 2 going back and forth with the client. The final track layout was made in FVD++. We exported the spline and animation data from No Limits 2 and rendered the animation with the scenery in Blender. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Feel free to add me on Discord! brannan_r

Thanks for your comment! If Cedar Point contacted us about using this layout, we'd be ecstatic! We'd collaborate fully and provide all our resources to ensure it meets their needs. While this project stemmed from our love for theme park design, there's always a chance it could become reality. We view each project as valuable training for the future of Escape Designs. Our long-term goal is to establish Escape Designs as a comprehensive design firm, offering services for theme parks alongside traditional architectural projects like residential and hospitality design. It's ambitious, but we're dedicated to making it happen. Currently, I'm gaining valuable experience through my architecture studies at FAU and working at an established firm. Having a park like Cedar Point reach out would be a huge honor, and we'd be fully committed to working together.

They should do it!

Thanks a lot!

Yes! They were made in Blender. Array on the curve spline of the track. If you want I can show you. Feel free to join my Discord server.

Thanks! I found this very useful and figured out how to do the array on the spline of the track.

Agreed! Twisted Twizzlers is really fitting with a park themed to candy! The 2 red tracks represent the twisting nature of Twizzlers!

So close! Thanks!

But not imagination!

Glad you enjoyed it! 😉

Thanks a lot! 😁

In this concept all the track would be replaced with that style track. 😁

It's just for fun. 😊 It is a concept.

Glad you enjoyed it! Expect more of these style videos in the future!

Same here!

Why is that?

They could go with a different design language, but the overall idea of opening up the space to allow for better operations and guest enjoyment is just a natural evolution of the property, as it grows so does its needs to accommodate a growing and advancing society.

@Escape_Designs I don't think it's necessary the marketplace and front Gate are perfect how they are they fit in perfectly maybe they could use a simple paint job in the next few years but they don't need a modern redesign in my opinion that would be as bad as modernizing ghost town

​​@@Mrfettt respectfully speaking, I've spoken with a few managers and heads of security, which is in charge and operates the main gate experience. They need space to operate safely, and efficiently, they've been desperately asking and looking for alternative designs in order to more efficiently operate and process the now 6 million+ guests that visits knott's on a yearly basis. Its evolution & necessity. So yes, perhaps keep the same design language, but opening up the space has been needed since they added the metal detectors over 10 years ago, and it's only gotten worse in terms of the need for more main entrance space.

💯💙

For sure! Thanks a lot!

Oh I didn't know that! Thanks for the info!

The buildings you're referring to is Virginia's Gift Shop, and the neighboring Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant. This ride does not interfere or interact with those buildings at all. The building that was removed, currently houses Starbucks, Cable Car Funnel cakes, A volcom/California clothing store, Boba knott's drink store and the old annual pass processing center. These stores all utilize the same building, and it's NOT historical at all. In fact, the clothing store is currently being repurposed into a Wescom Credit Union Bank.... Strange huh.

@tahjo7 Actually all the buildings starting from the chicken dinner restaurant are historical too, leading to the Emporium that was once the farm Nursery. The plaque outside Chicken to Go and Farm Bakery explains that’s been open since 1934. Across Grand Ave the wooden building housing Snoopy Headquarters dates to the farm days too from the 1930s and was then a Basket Shop and Wood Shop. Then by Knott’s lagoon you have a barn that dates to those days as well (and oc the chapel that was relocated there when Silver Bullet was built). The Cable Car Kitchen building has been there since 1955. (Inside you’ll see a pictures of the cable cars that once whisked guests from the parking lot to the park entrance.) Whether that particular building is worth preserving or not I suppose is debatable. Certainly the Marketplace is loaded with history. (I still think it’s sad half of it closed in 1997 when Ghostrider was built on that land, but Ghostrider is a worthy replacement. And if you look down from the coaster you’ll see some wooden shacks still standing from that part down there).

@tahjo7 Seeing as that you ignored my message, I take it you’re one of those people who can never stand to be corrected about anything.

That's a great idea! Funny you say this because I actually have a dream of building a theme park partnered with them! Some of it is already in Blender. Best project ever. I will reach out when the time is right.

We think this will be game changing if they can pull it off! It could be an introduction to the virtual queue system for the park which allows for less time standing in line.

I hope so too! A parking garage will free up even more land too!

Thanks! I thought Knott's does the themed design in house?

Comments like this are what keep us going!

Thanks a lot!

🙏👏

And if they build one large enough, the park may be able to expand even more!

Not necessarily, more would help, they could finally use some of that corporate events area near soak city they could get another 1000+ spaces over there. They have options.

It's the best of both worlds!

You are incorrect about Knott’s.

@@albertjimeno5315 Not really. Knott’s doesn’t have enough to keep me entertained for the full day.

@JGuy97 That’s fair but I refer to the immersion level

@@albertjimeno5315 I don’t think that’s that great, either. It just doesn’t have the budget of some of the other theme parks in the area.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree! Some adjustments may need to be made. It is good to just put everything out there and give it our all and subtract from there. I really hope that something similar can be made!

​​@@Escape_Designs excellent take, as for the lift hill orientation and placement, it's facing soak city and over 1000ft away from the closest nearby homes. Ghostriders drop directly faces homes. Pony Express is less than looft from a nearby home. What this tells me is that knott's has a form of imminent domain as they were there 1st. If complaints come in, they add sound insulation. Se thing happened at Canada's Wonderland with leviathan, where they complained about the classic B&M roar, sand was added in key areas. As for this ride, they can add a half-pipe sound shield on the right/east side of the drop, much like Silver Starr & Incredicoaster at California Adventure. I'm a huge advocate for when there's a will, there's a way Lastly, the lift hill placement, every giga has TONS of space underneath the lift hill structure. Leviathan has other rides underneath its hill. Orion has que line switchbacks, and the layout traverses underneath the drop a bit. Fury 325 is the worst... It's a junkyard basically, mixed with a returning track layout. Gold Rush would use its space, 80% for existing back of house structures, and the other 20% for a returning track layout around the drop.

Exactly 💯

Yeah, that circle for drop-off will be backed up for miles. The current setup could be improved but at least it has traffic moving in one direction. I love the entrance plaza idea.

Or... Remove the turnaround drop off. Since grand has 2 lanes, but only one is needed in the new setup to provide access to the existing Beach Blvd tunnel, the right lane could be drop off, much like the current setup, allowing one lane to flow freely.

Glad you like it!
