The thing I love most is that you've carried this narrative about sponsorships - it's really quite important as it allows the park to offset the maintenance cost of that particular ride. That's why you see them so often. It can be garish...but parks are businesses as much as they are pleasure centers.
Glad you found inspiration from the Junior woodie in Medley Valley! I love your station, and I may take some ideas from this for my station as well 😊 Great series, keep up the great work!
You should add a vendor in that little dead end rest area or some sort of small kiosk selling something that would appeal to the younger kids getting of the little thunderer. Balloon vendor?
You put Millennium Flyer trains ( typically found on GCI’s ) on the junior woodie. I would suggest you switch them to the regular wooden trains if you’re going for realism. (unless you plan on calling the junior woodie a GCI) It’s your park so it’s your decision either way. I love the park and I love your work. Keep it up Geekism.
Joshua King The millennium flyers are actually pretty similar to the NAD trains, like on jack rabbit (Kennywood) and some older rollercoasters. Also the layout isn't too far from coastersaurus's (GCI)
I say keep the GCI trains, I like the idea that perhaps more recently in the coaster's history it had a bit of an upgrade and the original classic trains were replaced with GCI ones.
I absolutely love how you use billboards. So creative and the detail it adds is SO GOOD!! Totally got inspired to use more billboards in my parks because of it.
"like the restaurant, it's hot stuff!" Haha I love your pinewood hills info billboards! ;) Fantastic episode, as always, always so much fun to watch, and your eye for detail is stunning! Can't wait to see what you'll do with all the 1.4 stuff!
I think you'd be able to handle more than you think on a 2-year-old PC; my machine was built in 2014, and it can handle a fully themed, faithful recreation of Space Mountain. Granted, I can barely play fully themed fleshed-out parks, but it works well enough for smaller stuff.
The coaster is reminiscent of the Sea Dragon at the Columbus (Ohio) Zoo, very similar layout. It would be hard to make in PC though, the station is on the end curve. 11m lift, 400m length, built in 1956.
You know you’re having a good day when a new episode of Pinewood comes out. Also, why does the coaster have those trains, I’d recommend changing them to the other wooden coaster trains as the trains you currently have are from a manufacturer who doesn’t make junior coasters
Indeed they don't, but they do sometimes make new trains for pre-existing coasters. Port Aventura's junior woodie Tomahawk has GCI trains. So I think it's ok to keep them.
And you can pull off a Schwarzkopf Looping Star or Silverarrow with Invincible's car on the Pioneer track using car swap. The combo isn't perfect, you still have Pioneer's wide station and catwalks. And it definitely has to have complete custom supports. But to the people in the community who've been egging for a Schwarzkopf track, myself included, it's a step in the right direction.😃 i.imgur.com/x93qAmd.jpg
I love your use of billboards. I don’t think that’s cheating at all! I don’t use them more because I’m not very good with Photoshop. And you will be seeing much simpler buildings from commando and I. Our part court is already way too high haha. No more windows as walls. Thanks for plugging the tutorial as well!
+RubleTrillions Thanks Ruble! Totally understand the part count issue... I really want this series to finish when it’s done, not when my computer dies 😂
For the coaser's original entrance: You can clearly see the exit stairs run perpendicular to the station. What if the exit stairs could be made into a large staircase that could be the "original entrance," which they then fenced off (like the big woody) and left a little bit unfenced for the exit stairs? Let me explain that better. Have a large wide staircase, the same as on the big coaster, running to the edges of the station. Also, cover the exit stairs with the custom stairs. Put fences along the top and bottom of the steps, except where your exit path runs now. Then, build some custom fencing for the exit path. Doing this ties the exit path into the build better, as well as putting a little more continuity between the coasters (and having an 'original' entrance, which I don't think the small one has ATM) EDIT: Also, build the stairs so they are clipping under the 'new' queue ramp, so it looks like the new queue ramp was built over the original stairs.
I love your vids I thought of a cool idea for your park idk when Disney land/ world opened but when it did i think pinewood hills would take some ideas from Disney parks and do more theming and stuff
Love all your work am just getting back into planet coaster after being very unwell and having a block of creative ideas but watching your videos has really helped me out, thanks and keep up the good work. Also hope you don't mind I added you on steam would love some feed back on some of my workshop items when I upload more of them 😁
+Robert Kay Hey Robert! Thanks very much and welcome back, glad you’re feeling better :) I don’t have friends on Steam as it messes up recordings, but feel free to send me stuff on Twitter :) @jontisparrow
Haven't even watched the full vid and I know it'll be awesome! EDIT: Watched it! Have you / Are you going to make the Pinewood through the years as advertisement billboards?
@Geekism, I love your builds. Since new update with staff/vendors able to walk around and go into staff lounge to rest, does that include ride operators? Will they need to be able to get out ? Just curious. Keep up the great work.
Hello geekism. I have been following your pinewood series and was wondering if you were needing some inspiration. If so check out wicksteed park in Kettering (Northampton)

Mike Sheets love ur videos
Lovely. All I'd add would be a touch of the ivy on those trellises around the restroom.

I really like the way you're using the billboards to create the feeling of a real park. With the history of an attraction or other small artifacts :)
I love the little mesh fences at the bathroom!
Pinewood Hills is really coming together
James make that support look like a volcano for tiki chicki

love Love LOVE that plaque/information board about the coasters!

Loved the level of detail with the board of Pinewood through the ages.
Excellent video Jonti! - Loving this series, and park so far! So good! ☺️
Peace make a bigger Park with different Areals. Maybe pirates, Arabien, fantasy and another one. But with the same concept. With a bachstage Areal
"Thunderer is its own bag, baby"

+That Old Gamer I’ll check it out, thanks!
I love this park so much. You're doing great!
I was about to comment to have it as tikichiki theamed and then you took it out my head😂

the thing is that the Mini-lenium flyer trains are smaller than the average GCI millennium flyer train
Some sort of old Schwarzkopf coaster would be cool

catalog model is what you are looking for
and as for a name for the coaster: Jolt (like a thunder jolt) to make a connection between them
For the coaser's original entrance: You can clearly see the exit stairs run perpendicular to the station.

Perfect, as always. Can't wait to see more.
Hey you watch GamingKoala too!
Haven't even watched the full vid and I know it'll be awesome!
EDIT: Watched it! Have you / Are you going to make the Pinewood through the years as advertisement billboards?
in the next episode could you read out the Little Thunder "Through The Years" sign as I couldn't see what it said in the screenshot at the end
Yay another episode
Come on! Make ride photos!!!!!!!!!!
@Geekism, I love your builds. Since new update with staff/vendors able to walk around and go into staff lounge to rest, does that include ride operators? Will they need to be able to get out ? Just curious. Keep up the great work.
Can you please release this onto the stream workshop as a WIP or something? I would love to play with the park with how it is now.
Drench no, he said it so many times. He's not going to release the park until the 40s era of the lark is done
I like this soooo match
comment no.12!!! Geekism your video was amazing!!
Will you put the fences for the backstage area on the workshop? I'd love to use them for my park!
+Cooper Sanders they are pretty simple Cooper! Just planks laid out, give it a go :)
Geekism Okay! I'm a little scared but I'll try! 😁
GUYS! WE CAN HAVE PROPER GRAVITY GROUP COASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J U N I O N
Hello geekism. I have been following your pinewood series and was wondering if you were needing some inspiration. If so check out wicksteed park in Kettering (Northampton)
I dont think the train your using was invented in the 1950s-so was it re'themed' later with new trains? Plus the coaster is yellow :)
Eliot Brew he's color blind he says in one of his videos
Wesley Wilcox i know i wasnt just trying to be helpfull
Wesley Wilcox he says it in this video
is some of the wood on the tower supposed to be lighter than others?
You have such a soothing voice #nohomo
+Matt Waller Thanks! #LittleBitHomoIsOk
#howcouldthatbeperceivedashomo
Hiii
Is it me or is the roller coaster yellow?😂😂
4ty
Ki
This is my first pinewood hills video and I am very confused
+Wesley Wilcox Maybe start at episode 1? ;)
